Testimonials

Hesham has been an invaluable mentor for my EPQ project, bringing his enthusiasm for science—particularly biology—into each session.
 
His deep knowledge and passion make even complex topics feel accessible, and he encourages me to dive into recent articles and essays to keep my research up-to-date and well-rounded. Hesham’s ability to break down intricate ideas with clear explanations, diagrams, and flowcharts has been incredibly helpful for my project.
 
His feedback not only strengthens my understanding but also prompts me to think critically and explore my subject more deeply. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss and refine my ideas with him, as his insights have been key to shaping my project in meaningful ways.
Hesham is an exceptional crisis solver, especially when it comes to handling challenging situations under pressure. When I began my EPQ project, I found myself in a critical situation: my progress was severely delayed because I got stuck in an endless cycle of reading without being able to start writing. My perfectionism made it nearly impossible to put anything on paper, as I felt the work had to be flawless from the start.
 
Hesham stepped in and offered crucial advice: to start writing regardless of how refined the first draft was.
 
This wasn’t because he didn’t value high standards, but because, with his experience, he understood that the real strength of an essay emerges during the editing process. I am deeply grateful for Hesham’s unwavering patience and the numerous pieces of constructive feedback he provided on my written work. His calm, logical approach helped alleviate my anxiety and kept me focused during a time when I felt overwhelmed. Thanks to his timely intervention, continued support, and insightful expertise, I was able to complete my research on the topic I was passionate about, producing a polished final essay and ultimately achieving an A* for my EPQ project.
