He has gone from failing to excellence. Thank you very much for your help last year. He will continue the weekly session with you until he finishes Year 13.

We have found Miriam to be most professional, efficient and organised. She has helped my daughter immensely, considering the short space of time given - we only wished we had known about Miriam earlier on in the term! Her Skype teaching works incredibly well, as she has the timing and content down to a fine art. This is especially helpful for students to access from wherever they are. We will certainly consider tutoring assistance moving forward through to University years!

When I asked Mitchell how it went he said “good “ and that you had taught him more in one hour than his teacher ever had because you put things in simple terms that he can understand.  So just wanted to say thanks for taking him on.  Really appreciate it.  See you next Thursday.

I was looking for a NZ qualified experienced tutor for my son who needed some help in reading & writing. I did not want him sitting in front of a computer program - supervised by a college student. He needed someone to help him understand the foundation of reading & writing. Looking thru First Tutors Miriam was my first choice (& only choice) based on her profile. Miriam understands my sons strengths & weaknesses and has tailored her tuition to suit his needs. She gives him lots of encouragement and praises in her sessions. I wish I was taught the language devices when I was his age. I hope to continue this partnership with Miriam and see my sons confidence lift in literacy.

Miriam is an excellent tutor who knows NZ curriculum well. She is able to assess what levels my sons are at even from the first lesson. She is confident, patient, nice, open and always gives encouragements. She has built good relationship even with my reluctant boys. They have made very good progress.

Lena

Miss Miriam is so kind and amazing. I’ve struggled with my essay and presentation for a long time. I didn’t know how to write a research essay and my structure was terrible, but after her helping, I think my essay is much better now and I think I can pass with an excellent XD. Also my presentation, she helped me not only the content, but also the way I should present such as the voice, eye contact, and gave me lots of advises. She is so patient with me,and always replies me in a very short time, which makes me feel she is really caring about me. It is a pleasure being her student.

Eva

We are extremely happy with Miriam as our daughter's tutor. This is the first time we tried online tutoring but it is as good as face to face as Miriam's experience adds so much value to the lessons.

Ruchy

Miriam has been tutoring my son for 3 weeks for NCEA Level 1 english. He was struggling with English and now has improved to the point of writing a "Merit" Essay. I now have high hopes that he will meet an achieved or better in the upcoming exams with Miriam's help.  Communication with my son and myself has been excellent and Miriam provides regular progress reports to us. We highly recommend Miriam and look forward to working with her for L2 English.

Miriam has made a huge difference to my grandson's NCEA English results in just a few weeks. She is very thorough with her preparation for lessons and has been able to clearly explain to my grandson where he needs to make changes. He has responded very well to her suggestions. I would really recommend her as a tutor.

Gail

Miriam has been a great help in understanding the concepts of essay writing and unfamiliar texts through constant feedback. This is helping me prepare for NCEA Level 1 and I feel I can reach excellence level by externals.

Uj

Organised, kind, always prepared, punctual and very knowledgeable.  You are amazing, thanks again.

Fadia

Thank you very much for all your help and tutoring.  I honestly wouldn't have been able to achieve these results without it.

Tessa

My daughter loves Miriam and speaks highly of her. She said she learned a lot from Miriam's lessons and made progress after having classes with Miriam. We feel lucky to have Miriam as my daughter's English tutor and would love to recommend her to other students.

Tina

Miriam is truly an professional and experienced teacher. I started to work with her to improve my writing. I feel that I benefit a lot even though I just started to work with her 3 weeks ago on once a week basis. She teaches not only structure setting/point finding also word/detail correcting. I decided to add one more class from next week. Thank you Miriam. I am looking for the next class!

Martin

Miriam is a very professional teacher who has a knack for understanding the need of her students. I am a working professional and English is my second language. I need help with my speaking style. The toughest part for me has been to make any coach understand what exactly I need. There is no fixed curriculum for it. I have just begun coaching with Miriam and she understood what I needed in order to improve myself. Her confidence in me was reassuring.

Varun 

Excellent, attentive and professional. Highly recommended.

Noah

Miriam is a committed tutor. She was very responsive to the requests when setting up the lessons online for my son who is in Y8. She also provides high quality lessons. She is a very reliable and trustworthy tutor. I highly recommend her.

Lydia

Great - my son feels relaxed talking to her and has already learned so much more than in school.

Nadine

Miriam is an AWESOME tutor! My daughter has been learning with her for quite a few classes now and she loved it! Miriam is funny and very nice to children. Her website is very useful and the knowledge she taught my daughter is really helping her with her test results. She explains everything clearly to her students and answer all their questions. My daughter is now very confident to talk to her now, and she learnt more than she did from school.

From the very first tuition class my son have found Miriam very helpful and she takes no time to establish the strengths and the issues which needs attention and improvement of a student.
My son started talking tuition just before the beginning of his mid year school exams and with only couple of Tuition sessions before his test he have performed really good in the essay writing.
It is worth to continue regular tuition with her for us.

I think Miriam is a wonderful tutor that is able to cater to the different needs that each student faces, as well as ensuring that I stay on track with my work. I'd definitely recommend her to friends who needs help or guidance in their studies.

Shermein

Miriam has a very organised and professional tutoring style and is very encouraging with my son who is in Year 11. He is finally engaged in his English. Highly recommended.

Jo

Very happy with the progress so far. Both my son and daughter enjoy their English lesson and have come so far already. Can't wait to start to see their results at school and the work they begin to produce on their own at school.
By far the best Tutor I have had so far for English!
