Across KIS Academics: lessons delivered by our tutors.

I genuinely cannot recommend Alice Xu enough! Before starting tutoring with her, Chemistry was a subject I used to be really scared of, and I often doubted my ability to understand the content. Since having regular sessions with her, my confidence has improved so much. She has such a great way of breaking down difficult concepts and explaining things in a way that actually makes sense. She's incredibly patient, encouraging and always makes sure I properly understand something before moving on. What I appreciate most is that she's helped me go from feeling overwhelmed by Chemistry to actually feeling capable and confident when approaching questions. She's made such a difference in both my understanding and my attitude towards the subject, and I'm so grateful for all her help.

I have Alice Xu as my IB Chemistry tutor as it was my weakest subject and it has been an amazing experience so far. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and the sweetest which has made me actually look forward to our lessons and to learn chemistry. She has helped me so much in only a short period of time but she’s made me feel so much more confident and helped me understand topics I have struggled with in an easy way.

I have been tutored by Alice Xu for the past year, and have seen not only my results improve, but also my confidence develop. She is kind, patient and conscientious, creating her own summary documents that have helped me at times more than my own class teacher. She worked tirelessly to support me in my IA, and was always available to answer my questions. Because of Alice, I started looking forward to Bio lessons at school, so that I could tell her what I'd learnt, and looking forward to our tutoring sessions, because she was so welcoming to any question, even ones that weren't specifically test based and just out of curiosity!

I had a methods tutor from KIS - Tyson Smith - and he was really great in teaching me things. I learned a lot of from him. Highly recommend.

Tyson was a great tutor, he has always made sure I understood what the questions asked and how to imagine chemistry in a wider picture. Helping my improve into the high 80’s for my exam. I began to feel confident in myself going into my chem class and was very open which helped me feel comfortable in asking questions.
