Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Paula's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Paula provided two weeks of l holiday revision for my son who was retaking his maths GCSE. He is ASD/ADHD SEN. She was excellent with him - reliable, calm, clear and patient. They worked well together to clarify what he knew and which areas he needed to be clearer about. He said he approached the retake feeling much more confident that he had the requisite knowledge and processes to get over the line. Thanks Paula. Fingers crossed for the results!

Paula provided tuition for our daughter in preparation for her chemistry A levels. Paula was personable, reliable and really helped to direct Beth’s revision. Paula helped to identify areas requiring extra work and ways to approach them. Beth was v happy with Paula and her approach.

My daughter had Chemistry A level tutoring sessions with Paula. She was very flexible with her timings and accommodating of our needs and diary demands. My daughter is very happy with Paula's methods and delivery. Help was needed particularly with some of the math aspect of Chemistry and as a result of these lessons, my daughter is much more confident and is going into the last Chemistry paper feeling more confident than she was at the beginning of the year. Thank you so much, Paula, you were a godsend.

Paula is a knowledgeable, reliable and very professional tutor who had a great deal of empathy and understanding supporting our son who was homeschooled for a while. He enjoyed her lessons and learnt a great deal from her

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paula. After over a year of tutoring my daughter for GCSC and A-levels Paula deserves 5* for her consistent and reliable support; the A grades achieved have scored offers to her 1st choice university (global top 10) plus 2 other offers.

Dear Paula, I want to thank you for your help and support for both my dauhgters. As we recently moved to London they both have a backlog to make up. They are very happy with your approach and patience. Thank you also for being flexible to change hours or adding sessions. Highly appreciated, Thanks Veerle

Paula provided focused and clear lessons in Maths and Physics targetting the problem areas. She was a kind and friendly teacher with a patient approach. She was also able to access many online helpful resources such as the CGP books.

Paula is a fantastic tutor who has helped my daughter to gain more confidence in herself. She is concise and makes the most of the time she has to make sure my daughter learns as much as posible. She goes beyond to help my daughter even if she requires assistance outside the tutoring hours. Another great quality of Paula is that she has also got knowledge of GCSE maths and all the sciences and my daughter can ask for help if she struggles with something on those subjects. When I contacted her I was a bit worried that her lessons were by zoom but it has work perfectly for us. I fully recommend Paula.
Paula replied
Thank you Sonia. It is a pleasure to teach your daughter.

Paula created great individualised learning programmes for 3 separate early-teens children during a 20-week cycle where they needed to gain confidence and get their maths sorted out. Some F2F sessions and then (thanks Coronavirus!) switched to online. Both types of session worked well and the results are great. Would definitely call on Paula again if any such need arises in the future.
Paula replied
Thank you for the feedback Stephen. The students adapted well with the switch from face-to-face to on-line sessions too.

Would totally recommend Paula as a tutor for maths, chemistry and physics. She’s amiable, calm and thoroughly knowledgable of all the subjects and always manages to engage our reluctant daughter, giving her the confidence she needs to pass her GCSEs.

Paula is a great teacher and is excellent at inspiring confidence; so much so, that my teenage son looks forward to his chemistry sessions with her. I would recommend her highly.
