About Sylvie Abdoo
From a young age, I’ve navigated the world with moderate hearing loss. As a child, I often felt lost in conversations, struggling to keep up with the nuances of speech. Rhetorical questions and subtle shifts in tone were difficult for me to grasp.
I made this difference my greatest strength. I developed resilience, grit, and empathy. I learned to ‘read between the lines’, observing body language, facial expressions, and context. I learned to love the written word where nothing could be lost in translation.
My love of learning, led to my achieving ten A*s in my GCSES, three A*s in my A-levels and a first-class honours from Edinburgh University. I also hold a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate and a Special Educational Needs diploma. I will soon graduate as a fully qualified teacher.
I’ve learned that perseverance pays off; that any physical, emotional, or societal barrier can be overcome with the right support system. That is what my personalised English tuition aims to provide for your child.

I recommend Sylvie 100%!
‘Sylvie’s skills as a tutor have transformed my son’s learning for his English Nat 5. She is energetic, ‘joyful’ (as he says), organised, effective & a great communicator. It’s clear that she’s dedicated to helping kids achieve the best they can. I recommend Sylvie 100%!’

She was excellent.
‘Sylvie was brilliant with Harry and has provided him with some good resources and knowledge. She understood that if he wasn't having a good day then she'd make allowances. She engaged so well with him – she really made sure he understood what she was talking about before they moved on. She was excellent.’

This is wholly down to Sylvie’s approach.
‘My older daughter’s attitude and confidence in her natural ability have shifted dramatically. She has gone from saying that she cannot do any of it to declaring that whole areas of work are easy. She is able to approach tasks with much more confidence and a more-positive attitude. This is wholly down to Sylvie’s approach.’
