I turned to Sourav's tutoring services for my daughter's 9th-grade struggles with math. It was a great fit since she attends an international school and Sourav speaks English fluently. We didn't track exactly how long she needed the lessons, but it was twice a week for less than a school year. She made significant progress after starting the sessions with him; she couldn't keep up in class before that. Eventually, we stopped because she felt confident enough to continue on her own. We had face-to-face lessons at our home because online learning doesn't suit my daughter well. Each session lasted an hour and was one-on-one, which helped as she was too shy to ask questions in her classroom setting. My sister recommended Sourav after he successfully tutored my nephews at their college through online lessons, and he offered reasonable rates. Sourav would explain concepts and assign extra work, although my daughter only did her school homework—she can be lazy with extra tasks! Right from the start, he asked about the textbook they used in class to align his teaching approach better. The autonomy she gained from these sessions is invaluable considering we've had other tutors who were much more expensive but left her dependent on them.

Nermeen Muhammed has been my math teacher since the beginning of the last academic year, and I'm keen to continue learning with her. We kicked off with one-on-one sessions and later transitioned to small group lessons with 2 or 3 people. Whether it's face-to-face at my place or online when time is tight, Nermeen adapts seamlessly. With over two decades of experience under her belt, it's no surprise that I've made significant progress in math. She really knows her stuff and is an excellent educator.

Nermeen Muhammed has been a fantastic maths tutor for my 9-year-old daughter. Having lived in Asia, where the pace of learning was slower, we found the education level here quite challenging. Nermeen's ability to explain complex maths concepts clearly helped my daughter catch up quickly, and we actually saw an improvement in her grades. Her experience with international students really shows and made a big difference. Moreover, she is always punctual and has a way with children; my daughter would eagerly await her lessons. After seeing such positive results, my wife has recommended Nermeen to several friends already. The detailed feedback that Nermeen provided us was extremely helpful and appreciated as well.

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Nermeen Muhammed, and I can say without hesitation that she's an exceptional educator. With over 20 years of experience across various international curriculums like MYP, British, and US systems, she has a profound understanding of education on a global scale. As my colleague and friend, I've seen firsthand how she builds on each student's strengths while diligently addressing their weaknesses. Her personable approach and great sense of humor resonate well with children. Plus, her ability to speak multiple languages is a huge asset in our diverse school community. Even though I'm moving to Indonesia while she remains here after spending 8 years in Portugal, I trust her enough to continue tutoring my daughter online. She's that good!

I hired Sourav to tutor my daughter in her school subjects, with an emphasis on English, math, and science. He's been great at personalizing her learning experience by creating a tailored study plan that fits into our schedule. My daughter says he explains complex concepts clearly and makes them easier for her to understand. Sourav is reliable; he always shows up on time and communicates well if there are any changes. His teaching methods have been effective—we've seen real improvement in her exam results and she's growing more confident in challenging areas. Sourav's English is good, which makes communication smooth. I appreciate his reasonable pricing compared to other tutors I've considered; it provides great value for the quality of tutoring he delivers. He treats my daughter kindly and has always been respectful towards me—a true professional. Overall, we've definitely benefited from having Sourav as a tutor.

From my experience with Dotan Ben Shimol, teaching math to my eldest daughter has been a positive journey. Over the past few months, his online classes have proven to be a great fit. His patient and personalized approach is helping her address the gaps in her math knowledge due to our frequent moves.

Overall, my daughter enjoys her lessons, which is a testament to Dotan's effective teaching methods.

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
