Information About Yasmine

Personal Description: I am a graduate from the University of Birmingham, gaining a 2:1 (Hons) degree in Medical Biochemistry. I am also a qualified teacher, having taught 11-18 year olds at a local high school for 2 years. I have taught both maths and science to GCSE level and Biology and Chemistry to A-level. I loved teaching but my real passion is medicine, so I am now studying medicine as a postgraduate at the University of Warwick. I am a sociable, friendly person who has tons of patience and have extensive previous experience tutoring students of all ages, ranging from 13-21 years of age

Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching as a secondary school teacher for 2 years at a high school in Birmingham.
I have taught both Maths and Science. I have taught Chemistry and Biology to A-level classes.
I have the following tutoring experience. All were long term tutees (please see my feedback):

- A year 9 girl for GCSE maths
- A year 11 girl for AQA GCSE Science (triple award)
- A year 11 girl for AQA higher maths
- A year 11 boy for Edexcel higher maths
- A year 11 girl for OCR higher maths
- A year 11 girl for OCR gateway B higher GCSE Science (double award)
- A year 12 boy for AQA AS chemistry
- A year 13 girl for AQA A2 biology
- A year 13 boy for Edexcel A2 chemistry
- A year 13 girl for OCR A2 chemistry
- A year 13 girl for Edexcel A2 chemistry

As you can see, I have extensive experience in all of the exam boards, and so would be able to tutor your child undertaking examinations from any exam board.

Tutoring Approach: My approach tends to be asking the pupil what he/she finds the most difficult, going through these aspects first to clarify any misconceptions and to share some of my knowledge and experience of studying and teaching GCSE's and A-Levels.

I assess the pupil's strengths and weaknesses and identify how best they learn (i.e visually, aurally, kinaesthetically)

I go through practice exam papers and also quiz pupils on the material we have just studied to see if they absorbed what was being taught in the session.

I make large posters with pupils as I find these helped me when I was revising/getting my head around difficult concepts.

Qualifications:
  • 2010: Fully qualified science teacher (QTS) - Teach First (Park Hall Academy) (PGCE)
  • 2008: BSc(Hons) in Medical Biochemistry (University of Birmingham) - University of Birmingham (Bachelors)
  • 2005: A-levels in Mathematics, ICT, Biology and Chemistry - Aelfgar Sixth Form College (School)
  • 2003: 11 GCSE's at A and A* - Fairoak Business and Enterprise College (School)

From Amandeep (5/5): (A-Level Chemistry) I really enjoy my sessions with Yasmine as she is very friendly and makes me feel more confident about my work. She is very good at explaining concepts to me and providing really good resources.

From Jacky (5/5): (GCSE Chemistry) My daughter (16 years old) hit it off with Yasmine immediately. She is friendly, well prepared and knows her stuff! We are very pleased that Yasmine is helping her.

From David (5/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Yasmine proved to flexible and understnading enough to accomodate my son as a student despite her shedule already being full. She's been of great help to him in his A level Chemistry studies. Best he say how in his own words:

Yasmine has been extremely effective at succintly summarising concepts that I personally found very difficult in a class of a large size. I fell that it is in a significant part thanks to her that I feel a lot more confident with Chemistry as a subject now than I did before I started lessons with her.

From Helen (5/5): (GCSE Maths) James is really enjoying his sessions with you. He says you explain things clearly to him in a way he understands and he has learnt lots more by having one to sessions than he did at school.

Thanks Yasmine.

From Deborah (5/5): (GCSE Maths) We have really appreciated the fact that you have worked around your many commitments to kindly accommodate revision time with our daughter ahead of her recent exam. As a result of your coaching and tutoring style, we know she approached her exam with so much more confidence - and we will certainly be asking for your assistance ahead of her summer mathematics exams.

Many thanks, Yasmine.

Kind regards

Andrew and Deborah Shrives

From Claire (5/5): (GCSE Maths) Yasmine,

Chloe and I are really pleased with the help you are giving her and the progress she has made even in this short space of time. She received an A for her maths assessment last week. (In the past she has been getting mostly C's and the occasional B). Thank you for giving Chloe new encouragement. Kind regards Claire Eburne

From Misbah (5/5): (A-Level Chemistry) Excellent teaching, has really helped a great deal as I have just gained a very good set of grades for a chemistry exam that I sat, also very friendly and approachable.

From Tom (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Always on time, friendly, well prepared and really knows her stuff.

Reply from Yasmine: Well done on getting A's! Best of luck with uni, let me know how you get on!
