Information About Parvaze:


Personal Description:

I am a science graduate of the University of Salford.
I have worked professionally as an Environmental Health Officer for some 12 yrs plus. I enjoy reading and researching articles on science fiction. My children call me a space freak because of the endless hours spent surfing the web on 'space sites' looking up the recent cassini mission to saturn and the latest rendezvous of the various space probes with a number of asteroids such as the joint European e.g 'esa' and NASA missions. I've been further intrigued by the Japanese space probe mission to a near earth asteroid which not only safely touched down on the asteroid but was able to collect some dust from its cratered surface and safely head back to earth. Its incredible the feats and strides scientists have taken in the last 50 years and to know that I will be educating some of the scientists of tomorrow and who knows maybe an astronaut who'll look back one day at his lessons and say that's where it first started for me.



Teaching Experience:

I have some 7 yrs private/school teaching experience which I've found particularly enjoyable and rewarding. I have taught privately in my own home as well as in the clients setting. I have experience of teaching predominantly science subjects between KS2 to A2 levels. I enjoy teaching science on a one to one level and to groups of two or three. I believe tutoring on a personal level is not only enjoyable but motivates me to educate the tutee to a standard which reflects his/her interests. I find tutoring children on a personal level enables them to take in far more information which is retained by them for a much longer time span.



Tutoring Approach:

With every new student, I try to identify from the onset, their strengths and weaknesses. By focusing on their weaknesses, I try to build on them, regularly giving them tests on topics covered and giving the pupils my ideas on exam preparation and technique has proven to be an excellent way of attaining high marks in their final exams. I am aware of the parental pressures put on students to perform and do well, and I am fully capable of bringing out the best of the individuals abilities. I am a caring, friendly and sensitive tutor with a great passion for sciences particularly chemistry and physics. I am enthusiastic about teaching science and have a workable exam preparation and technique built into lessons which works exceptionally well. I also ensure any handouts given out along with course notes and test papers are properly filed in a folder. I recommend the use of flash cards as an aide me moire of the topics covered again filed in the folder along with all other notes. I recommend to those students who have access to a PC and the Internet to contact me via e-mail at no extra cost with any questions on any of the topics covered in previous lessons. I will endeavour to drop them a line with a worked example whether online or offline. I've found by doing this, that it further strengthens the bond between my students. From past testimonials I've received, its evident most of my tutees enjoy my caring and reflective style and the results speak for themselves..
