About Sandra Thao
I’ve been exactly where many of my students start, uncertain about where to begin or how to improve. Through years of study, practice, and teaching learners at all levels, I’ve seen how consistent guidance and the right mindset can turn weaknesses into strengths. Having gone from tutoring my first students with failing grades to now graduating from two of the world’s top universities, UCL and King’s College London, I know what it takes to grow in both skill and confidence. My goal is to help you achieve that same transformation step by step, with practical strategies and genuine support.

Sandra is an amazing tutor! She’s very patient and takes her time making sure you understand the material. She will not give up until you feel 100% confident in yourself!
I’ve been working with Sandra for almost two years now, and I can honestly say that having her as my tutor has completely changed the way I approach studying. Before I started lessons, I struggled a lot with structuring my essays and managing time under exam conditions, especially for IB English and History. Sandra didn’t just help me improve my grades, she taught me how to think critically, how to write with clarity, and how to study efficiently.
What I appreciated most was how personalized every lesson was. She never just followed a generic plan, she actually took the time to understand my learning style, the topics I found hardest, and even my university goals. When I mentioned I was applying to the UK, she adjusted our sessions to focus more on essay depth and argumentation, which really helped with my personal statement and university interviews.
Because of her guidance, I went from a 5 to a 7 in IB English HL and achieved an A* in History. But beyond the grades, I gained so much confidence in my own abilities. Sandra is genuinely passionate about teaching and always patient, encouraging, and supportive, even when I was completely stressed before exams.
I’m now holding an offer to study at University College London and King’s College London , and I truly don’t think I could have done it without their help.
I would recommend Sandra to anyone who wants a tutor who not only helps you reach your academic goals, but also inspires you to actually enjoy learning.
— Minh Anh, IB Class of 2025I booked tutoring sessions with Sandra after meeting her via a mutual friends study group during my undergrad. Sandra's tutoring style was perfect for me. She is patient, clear, and very supportive.
What I love most is how engaging and approachable she is. are. She tailors each lesson to your individual needs. She encourages me to ask questions and always checks back that I’ve really understood the point before moving on.
I’d definitely recommend Sandra to anyone on Superprof looking for a tutor who’s tutor who’s patient and genuinely invested in your progress. Whether you’re prepping for exams or just looking to build confidence and general understanding, Sandra is the perfect tutor!I came to Sandra because I wanted to apply to university in the UK, but I knew my comprehension and oral skills needed improvement. From the first lesson, she identified what my real difficulties were and explained that my main challenges were prosody and accuracy. She then designed lessons that helped me develop in these areas, which made a clear difference to my comprehension. Her approach was much more professional and effective than any tutor I had worked with before. She helped me understand how writing and speaking connect, and as I improved, my confidence and predicted grades increased as well.
Sandra has been a really supportive tutor, and has helped me become more confident in my English abilities! Thanks to her my English has improved so much, and I’ve been able to get into the uni of my dreams :)
Sandra was a great help in building my confidence in English A Language and Literature. I was able to perform better than my predicted grade and met the requirements of my choice of universities!
