Specialised GCSE and A-Level Mathematics Tutoring

Edexcel, OCR, OCR MEI, AQA and Cambridge Exam Boards covered

I graduated from one of the top universities in India - BITS, Pilani.

Most students either start a professional career in multinational companies or pursue higher education in the US after studying at BITS. I was fortunate to start my career working as a design engineer at American and Japanese firms. After spending the initial few years in a corporate, I decided to follow my passion for teaching, and Maths was my natural choice due to my Engineering background.

So, here I am, following my passion for the last 15 years teaching the subject I love the most and working with students to achieve the best possible results.

Tutoring Experience

Each student is unique and so are my sessions. Maths is a subject where we need to teach the concepts, followed by practice. Students typically start with me in Year 8 or Year 9 and continue working with me till GCSE or A-levels.

With any new pupil, I start by assessing their current level and identifying the areas where they are struggling. The team as I call it starts from this point, where I work on their weaknesses and strengthen their strong areas. A relevant and interesting activity is given as homework, which is crucial to progress.

Most of my students attend some of the very academic schools in North London - NLCS, Habs, Henrietta Barnett, and QE Boys. While working with me, my students feel more confident about their abilities and set themselves a very high standard.

Together, we have achieved some excellent results with GCSE students scoring straight 8 and 9 grades, and A-level students receiving offers from a range of impressive institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and other Russell Group universities.

Tutoring Approach

"Leena is an excellent tutor who helps me fully grasp new topics quickly due to her clear and concise steps and advice. She is conscious of what exam boards pick on with her examples covering a wide scope of what the topics entail. Leena is very efficient and works at a fast pace, however if you do need clarification or a moment to ponder, she is very patient and is able to explain in further detail. Additionally, by covering exam questions in her lessons, this has given me further confidence in actually understanding key topics and concepts. Her dedication and systematic approach is truly admirable and I am lucky to have found such a great maths tutor." - A Level student, Henrietta Barnett School

"Leena taught my daughter A Level maths; all three modules including pure, statistics and mechanics. My daughter was struggling closer to her exams as she was under a lot of pressure due to the grades she had to achieve for her university offers. Leena helped her clearly understand concepts and went through every exam/textbook question that she was having difficulty with. If there was anything that my daughter was unsure about she knew she could rely on Leena to support her even at the last moment. She adapts her teaching techniques for different students so that they can achieve their potential." - Parent of A Level student, Tiffin Girls School

"I cannot praise Leena enough for the help she gave my son for his GCSE maths. After lockdown his grades and confidence had suffered, Leena got him back up to where he had been and much further. Most importantly he enjoyed the lessons and never ever grumbled about having to go. He secured a grade 9 and we are all thrilled. Thank you so much Leena." - Parent of GCSE student, Habs Boys

"She guided my daughter to achieving the top grade in her GCSE maths exam a few months ago. Leena is very good at explaining the concepts in an organized and efficient way, showing a lot of patience and raising the overall level of confidence of my daughter in readiness for the exam. Highly recommended." - Parent of GCSE student, NLCS
