I am an experienced Academic with over 20 years of teaching experience at some of the top UK universities including University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, and the University College London, UCL. Currently, I am attached to the faculty of Life Sciences, University College London (UCL) as an Associate Professor and Director of a Post-graduate course (Qualified Person) for the past 15 years.

I have been involved in tutoring A Level and GCSE students since 2014. Please see below the performance of my tutees' in the latest A Level and GCSE exams (Results August 2022) in the Teaching Experience section.

Tutoring Approach

The most important aspect of my tutoring is mastering exam technique. Students go through questions from the past year exam papers at the end of each teaching session. In addition, mind maps are provided for each topic which helps students prepare for the exam right from the beginning.

Availability: Weekday evenings from 5-8pm and Saturday from 4 to 5pm. Teaching is conducted in and around Croydon at my house or online using ZOOM.
