Private Tutoring Specialist for Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Maths

Welcome! I'm a committed PhD Graduate and University Lecturer specialising in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Maths. With a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry from Imperial College London and a First Class Honours Master's in Natural Sciences from University College London, I've cultivated a strong foundation in these subjects. Throughout my academic journey, I consistently excelled, achieving top grades in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology at A-level.

My passion for tutoring stems from witnessing students achieve their academic dreams and experiencing their incredible growth. I relish the opportunity to share my love for learning, providing personalised and engaging lessons that have a positive impact on students' lives by instilling confidence and skills for success.

Tutoring Experience

Over 10 Years of Extensive Teaching Experience and Personalised Success Stories

With over 8 years and more than 6000 hours of private tutoring experience, I've successfully guided students across various education boards, including UK A-levels, GCSE, IB, AP qualifications, and even undergraduate/postgraduate studies. My journey extends beyond conventional tutoring; I've contributed as a research coordinator in organic chemistry while also delivering lectures at esteemed institutions like University College London and Imperial College London. This diverse background showcases my proficiency in both research and teaching.

Example Tuition Assignments:

I've tailored individual approaches to cater to specific needs:

Emily - Guided a 13-year-old student struggling with science subjects at a prestigious private school, leading to significant improvement in science skills and higher exam grades.

Kate - Mentored a student from a D to an A grade in AS/A-Level Chemistry, surpassing initial predictions and solidifying a strong foundation.

Pooyan - Helped a student at the Open University raise module assignment scores from 54% to an impressive 92% through tailored guidance and support.

Gary - Coached a law background student to secure a place on the Experimental Therapeutics MSc at Oxford University, transitioning successfully into a scientific field.

Tutoring Approach

Empowering Success Through Tailored Guidance and Holistic Learning

I foster a positive, inclusive learning environment that prioritises open communication, mutual respect, and a growth mindset. Every tutoring session is customised to suit individual learning styles and needs, utilising diverse, engaging, and interactive methods to enhance comprehension and critical thinking. Fundamental concepts are emphasised to lay a robust knowledge foundation while nurturing curiosity, creativity, and independent problem-solving skills.

My dedication lies in motivating and empowering students to achieve their full potential, not just academically but by instilling a lifelong passion for learning. Join me on the journey of academic growth and excellence!
