Ms Sanyu Nakasi

Subjects: Reading & Writing skills | English | Maths
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Sanyu:
MY Name is Sanyu Nakasi and I'm 22 years old. I currently have a degree In graphic design and Business Management. I graduated in July 2007 and since then I have been working in graphics and Accounts while tutoring on the side.

Teaching Experience:
I have at least two years teaching experience. My father is a chemistry professor who has been tutoring students for years. Most of my students at present are undergoing exams. I first started teaching within a tutoring group and then recently began private tutoring in the north west London area.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching is to be patient, gentle, but be slightly stern and emphasis the importance of private study. Initially I like to assess the student to find out their weaknesses within the subject. When that has been established, I then like to target those areas in depth while making sure then are confident in the the areas they apparently know. I like to give advice to the student about the education system and try and build up confidence and a friendship with the student.

Qualifications:

Maths GCSE (B)

BA in Print Media Managements with Accounts.

Dr Michael Hirsch

Subjects: German | Physics | Maths | Computer Studies / I.T.
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Michael:
Mathematics and science have played a major role in my life since I left the kindergarten. Eventually I studied mathematics, physics, computing and logic in a five-year course at the University of Leipzig. After I finished my degree, I worked for seven years as a research assistant in theoretical chemistry at the department of mathematics of University of Leipzig, and eventually completed my PhD in this field.
When I moved to London I worked as post-doctoral research fellow in bioinformatics at Brunel University. I enjoy playing chess and belong to a London chess club. German is my native language and I sometimes translate articles from German to English.

Teaching Experience:
I am giving tutorials in maths and German for four month, including tutorials for undergraduate maths students.

I have worked as a sessional tutor while I was at university in Leipzig, where I gave private tutorials in maths for university and secondary school students. I also worked for "Schlerhilfe" - a private school that has branches all over Germany - where I gave tutorials for small groups of pupils.

Tutoring Approach:
Logic and mathematics can be learned and practised like sports. Even if you don't believe you have natural talent, you can still learn maths. The best way to learn mathematics and physics is through exercises. In the tutorials I will introduce and explain the matter, discuss examples and give exercises for self-study in preparation for the next tutorial. In this way we can monitor progress and adapt the speed of teaching.
German tutorials will be focused on speaking and listening, but will strongly depend on the needs of the student. If wished, I will also put emphasis on reading and writing skills. I will use recommended textbooks as guidelines if there are no particular requirements.
While I have a general idea about how to teach, I will adopt it to individual needs and discuss my approach with the student. I am open and welcome feedback. This is a good way to find out what suits the student best and to tailor the tutorials to meet it.

Qualifications:

PhD in Computational Chemistry (mathematics applied to the theory of the chemical reaction path)

Diploma in Mathematics (5-year fulltime University degree)
