Shabnam

I am a Civil Engineer graduate (MSc) from Tehran University/Iran with teaching experience since year 1998. I live with my family of 5 in Reigate and I have 3 girls ages, 15,13 and 10.

I was born and raised in Iran and lived there for 26 years.

After moving to England in 2007 I decided to become a full time mum and stopped working for 6 years.
There are lots of things that I enjoy doing but the most enjoyable thing for me is spending time with my family. ;)

In 2013, after having my 3rd child, I began to prepare myself for tutoring again since the flexible working hours suits me and most of all teaching is exceedingly enjoyable to me giving me ultimate satisfaction watching my tutees improve and getting better grades.

Tutoring Approach

Enthusiastic and committed I am a firm believer that private tutoring can be extremely effective in raising levels of attainment.
My approach varies depending on the student’s needs and learning style. However my teaching philosophy is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually towards more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check understanding continually.
