Shingirai is friendly, amicable, insighful and knows how to engage learners in order to achieve the best results. He had turned sean's marks in English and Spanish from failing to a distinction student. I highly recommend his classes.

Shingirai is an amazing Tutor who has assisted both my daughters with Spanish AS Level exam preparation and IELTS exam preparation. His classes are very well structured and he has simple clear explanations that make learning engaging and fun. Shingirai is very organized and always punctual for class. I have seen my Daughter come from failing to maintaining 81% average grades after the intervention with Shingirai.
