Umanga is a fantastic tutor. She built a great rapport with my son who isn’t the easiest to teach. He enjoyed his lessons and he gained so much confidence. Umanga taught my eldest son who achieved a great grade in GCSE. Thank you so much Umanga

My daughter has been working with Umanga for over a year now & I can’t praise her enough for the expertise & support offered to my daughter. She grew in confidence & felt much more at ease in maths classes & doing her GCSE’s this year and that wouldn’t have happened with this tuition. I would highly recommend using UAK Tutors.

An amazing maths tutor! Explains any areas of difficulty and incorporates questions and past papers to make the learning more interactive. Extremely helpful for GCSE and A level exam preparation!

A huge thank you Umanga for your dedication, positive encouragement & for challenging Cian to achieve his full potential in his Math GCSE and achieving an amazing A grade. With only a short window of time, our only regret is not finding you sooner! You've had such a positive impact and we are so grateful.

Umanga was excellent with my daughter. After not having a regular teacher for a few months in school and therefore behind in her GCSE preparation, with Umanga’s help she passed both her Numeracy and Maths GCSE’s with flying colours. I would definitely recommend Umanga if you are considering a maths tutor.

Having had the opportunity to engage UAK Tutors for my son, I've seen impressive outcome in his GCSC results. Mrs U A Kanda honestly one of the best Tutors. Not only is she incredibly patient, kind and well- versed in her knowledge. She always brings such a positive approach to every session .

Umanga has helped both my children with maths from GCSEs. She also helped my daughter with her undergraduate degree where she took the trouble to find out her weak areas from a large syllabus and tailored the tutoring to suit her personal needs. She made it very easy to understand and gave a good foundation which helped immensely in understanding very difficult concepts. She was an amazing teacher and both my children got A*’s in maths. She is very professional, patient and an excellent teacher and I cannot recommend her enough.

Umanga has been tutoring my son for just over 2 years. The growth I've seen in him since having Umanga's support is significant. From not having much confidence at all, to him just gaining his Numeracy GCSE a grade above his target grade, speaks volumes. Umanga provides homework, regular feedback and is always just a text/email away. Highly recommend!

My son has been having weekly Maths lessons from Umanga, for the last 6 years ( till year 13). Umanga has been a great teacher, providing guidance and motivation when he needed it , clearly this reflected on his excellent Maths results. Not only that, Umanga ensures the parents are given regular feedback about the child’s progress, so as parents we are fully aware of the progress.

I had Umanga for 3 years as a maths tutor and she was extremely helpful in every way. She was always very motivated, kind and patient.

We have had Umanga for our daughter, not just as a maths teacher, but as a friend, mentor and role model until GCSE. Umanga's kind and caring nature, her advice, the consistency and high expectation helped our daughter to become stronger in maths and made her care about the subject more. Umanga helped our daughter want to do her very best and brought positive energy into the lessons, where our daughter felt valued and supported as a result her grades improved significantly. We always will be grateful for the time and effort Umanga put into teaching her. Words cannot express our appreciation, but thank you for being one of those special teachers, who our daughter will never forget .❤️🌺🌸✨✨✨✨✨

My daughter lacked confidence in maths and thought she would benefit by having a tutor. It’s the best decision we have ever made. Not only has my daughter grown in confidence she now enjoyed maths. It used to be the dreaded lesson that she would shy away from and would do anything and everything to avoid it. I can’t thank her enough. Umanga is very friendly and my daughter has really taken to her. Each lesson is well planed and tailored to each individual student. I can’t believe the difference in my daughters mathematical ability and it’s all due to Umanga and her amazing teaching skills. Thank you so much xx

Umanga helped my daughter 3 months before sitting CGSE mathematics as she was lacking confidence. 1 X week made a huge difference to the result, which was an A grade. My daughter is soooo happy as she wasn't expecting that at all. I can honestly say that without Umanga's help, I wouldn't be seeing my daughter walking around right now with a MASSIVE smile on her face. Maths was the one subject that she wanted an A for. Thank you Umanga. You were highly recommended and I am so glad that we came to you. I wish you all the best with your future students 💖

Umanga first taught my son face to face 2019. In 4 months he went from a D grade to top C. Then Lockdown hit and we switched the lessons to my daughter then age 9 end of year 4. My daughter has only had online sessions with Umanga and now in Year 7 is excelling not only with her Tuition lessons but her first 2 term reports state she is excelling in Mathematics. I strongly recommend Umanga if your child is struggling or needs extra support to achieve the highest results.

Over the course of the year, I had Umanga help me with maths. Even though our time together ended rather abruptly, I would like to say she is definitely the best maths tutor any student can have. From my experience with her, she catered to my needs when necessary by explaining and re-explaining certain topics when necessary. She is 100% dedicated to you and to ensuring you get the best grade. Whenever I struggled with a question, she allowed me to text her after I tried the question and having it not match with the mark scheme. I definitely would recommend her!!
