Ms Ratna IGCSE English Tutor

80 Advanced Synonyms for IELTS

Just another review:

Aqil Azman:
i’ve been learning with Ms. Ratna since Year 8 starting in January 2022 until I completed my IGCSE First Language English in 2025! The progress I’ve made — from being a C student to achieving a 90% A* in my IGCSE FLE has truly been significant. 🙂

Although my lessons were only one hour per week, they helped me build strong foundations in my essay writing, summaries, and directed writing, while also developing confidence in analysing unfamiliar/vague texts. Ms. Ratna always gave clear, detailed feedback and explained exactly what examiners look for, which made a huge difference in how i structure and refine my answers.
Thanks to this guidance, my writing became more controlled and confident! This has also helped me beyond IGCSE, especially recently when I started entering writing competitions, and working on my CV during A-levels!

Ms. Ratna is also an incredibly kind-hearted teacher who always made lessons enjoyable. She never failed to make me laugh or ease the stress that came with upcoming exams. I would highly recommend her to any IGCSE English student. :))
