Home School Tutor - Nova Read

I found Nova by chance when looking for a maths tutor for my daughter at GCSE. Nova had come highly recommended on a Facebook post I stumbled across so I made contact and so glad I did! Nova is friendly and approachable and was able to explain topics with ease so my daughter understood what she had struggled with at school. The difference in my daughter’s confidence in the exam and her grade was remarkable after only going to Nova for around 10 sessions! I will definitely use again for my younger daughter if needed and I highly recommend Nova for maths tuition.

Our daughter initially got a grade 3 in Maths in summer. We decided on private tuition for her resit and used Nova for about 10 - 12 sessions and our daughter happily sailed through her resit. We were absolutely delighted. Nova was very professional and extremely approachable and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her sessions gaining so much confidence. Thank you so much Nova!

Nova came recommended to us back in April 2023. Our daughter needed additional support with her maths and lacked confidence in her ability. Nova provided that support in abundance, she is so caring, passionate, patient and knowledgable. She went beyond the role of just a tutor and actually became a friend to our daughter. Our daughter lacked confidence and Nova bought it out of her and taught her so much that she hadn’t been taught. She went from a grade1 to passing her GCSE at grade 4 in the space of a year. We would undoubtedly recommend Nova to anyone that requires that additional support and a safe environment. One thing we would say is that I wish we found her sooner! Thank you Nova x.

Nova was recommended to me when my daughter was struggling with her GCSE maths and needed at least a grade 5 for her college course. We were late finding Nova, but I'm so pleased we did. The difference she made was unbelievable, in such a short space of time. She really built my daughters confidence and explained things so simply that everything just suddenly clicked for my daughter and she began really enjoying maths (a subject she had hated before) she is now predicted 2 grades higher than her mocks and the difference it has made is unbelievable. I would highly recommend Nova - she is so good at what she does and has the loveliest personality, that really puts children at ease. I would not hesitate to use again. I'm so pleased we found her !

So please we found Nova to help Cade with his maths she was so patient with him made him understand the maths he was struggling on to get him prepared for his GCSE. How she broke it down to explain it was brilliant. He loved going for his session. In his hour session he got far more out of them than being at school. Thank you nova ? .

I found Nova for my daughter who was home schooled and about to take her GCSEs. My daughter started with her with no confidence, believing she wasn’t the best at maths, within a few sessions she was nailing her work. She got homework every week which she loved and her confidence by the end was brilliant. She didn’t just get a tutor she got a buddy who brought out the best in her. I cannot recommend Nova enough! My daughter came out of each exam so happy with the work she had done and she can’t wait to share the results with Nova. We miss going to see her every week! She is worth her weight in gold! X.

Great math tutoring from Nova, daughter really got on well with her. Started off with lower level maths due to poor temp teacher at school. Daughter now been able to take the higher maths paper. Gave daughter confidence and expert help and became a great tutor to our daughter over the month's she was with her. Amazing tutor would 100% recommend Nova was one of the first people my daughter contacted after sitting maths exams, that just shows how well they got along. .

I would highly recommend Nova for tuition, she has built an excellent, professional relationship with our daughter, and we have seen her confidence flourish. She uses a variety of strategies for her teaching and uses the ones that are best suited to the individual. She goes above and beyond and genuinely cares for the pupil. Thank you Nova!

Nova has been fantastic with my daughter over the last year, preparing her for the higher paper maths gcse. She’s caring and patient and has an amazing way of explaining and simplifying maths problems in a way that’s easier to understand. I’d 100% recommend Nova to anyone, whatever level. Thank you Nova for the confidence and kindness you’ve given my daughter.

I would highly recommend Nova, she has been tutoring my daughter for the last year, for higher tier maths, working towards her GCSEs. She has not only helped my daughter with understanding a lot of the maths but she has also helped her confidence within maths and herself. Nova is kind, caring and very understanding, she has been extremely flexible with my daughters timings and condition. My daughter has now sat two out of three maths papers so we are waiting in anticipation for her grades, however my daughter and myself believe she would not have got this far, this confidently without Nova. I cannot recommend Nova highly enough .

I highly recommend Nova. My daughter really struggled with math, to the point she gave up trying. We started with Nova and my daughter’s confidence in math grew so much. Her predicted grades got better each time. Nova has been so encouraging during my daughter’s GCSE’s. Making sure she’s prepared and going through exam style questions. Nova has always been accommodating, changing lesson times if needed. I would highly recommend Nova to anyone.

After being told my daughter was not hitting where she should be in maths at primary school I was recommended to contact Nova. My daughter was struggling and had low confidence and no additional support was given by her School. Nova was brilliant, very welcoming and communicated maths to my daughter in a way that supported her with learning. My daughter is now 17 and Nova supported her throughout her School years to successfully pass her GCSE maths which I would of not happened without her excellent tutoring. Would highly recommend.

Nova did wonders with my daughter who is dyslexic and had missed nearly 2 years of schooling due to covid and anxiety giving her confidence in Maths and she has passed first time, we are so happy and thankful we found her.

Nova has been tutoring my son since September in preparation for him re-taking his GCSE Foundation Maths AQA exam. Maths is by no means his favourite subject but he has really enjoyed going to Nova and has become more confident in his abilities. I put this down to Nova's approach, her kind and caring nature, her patience and the way she breaks things down so it's easy to understand. I have seen a visible difference to his abilities in just the few months he has been going to see her and he achieved the grade 4 he was looking for in his mock exam in January. I would highly recommend Nova. Her professionalism, her commitment and keen interest in how her students do is so lovely to see. She really does help them achieve to the best of their abilities. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I would no doubt use Nova in a heartbeat to tutor my daughter if she needs the support closer to her GCSEs.Moreexpand_more

Nova has been tutoring my daughter since year 6 in both maths and English and laterally in Maths for her GCSEs. Nova is a delightful person and gave my daughter the confidence she needed to ‘tackle’ her subjects which she has just passed successfully. I have no hesitation in recommending Nova to any parent!

Nova has been tutoring my son for a number of years and we are very pleased with the results. It has been a real pleasure watching his confidence and skill in Maths and English grow and this is reflected in his performance at school. A big thank you to Nova!

Nova has been tutoring my daughter who is in Year 2 (KS1). Nova has been helping my daughter prepare for the KS1 SATS covering maths, english, spelling, punctuation and grammar. My little girl has come on leaps and bounds and has gained so much confidence in ALL areas she has been studying with Nova! I can not recommend Nova highly enough! My daughter genuinely loves having her lessons! We both think you are fantastic!

Can’t recommend Nova enough! My daughter went to her while doing her GCSE’s as she lacked confidence more than anything, but now after being able to ask questions on a 1-1 basis, not only has she learnt loads, but is more confident actually doing the exam. Thanks Nova! ? .

Nova has been amazing helping my daughter with her GCSE maths. She was patient, understanding and helped my daughter to gain confidence. My daughter was worried that she would not pass her maths, but with the help and support of Nova, she easily passed and with a higher grade than she expected. Thank you Nova for all your help.

Nova has been an excellent maths tutor to my two girls. The confidence she has given them as they started secondary school is priceless. I would recommend Nova to anyone, and have. 5 stars !
