General Paper (GP) & Literature
Our classes focus on giving each student individual attention and personalised feedback.

"Ms. David is an excellent tutor. She was successful in building my children’s critical thinking and analytical skills. She made strong connections to their school curriculum (IB) and was masterful at breaking down complex concepts clearly. She is exceptionally organised and knows her subject matter well. Most importantly, I would highly recommend Ms. David because she was kind, supportive, and patient with my children."
