Mahmoud - Clerkenwell tutor






Information About Mahmoud:


Personal Description:

I have recently graduated from City University having a BEng degree in Electronics with a 2:1 class of 65% overall mark. I loved Electronics since I was a student at school as I consider it as one of the major applications of Maths and Physics that I loved a lot. I'm the type of person who likes having his own way of thinking about things and this gives me the ability to explain and understand concepts from different perspectives. I always like being self-motivated and giving motivation to others to get involved in solving problems by thinking of their own new solutions.



Teaching Experience:

I used to give tutorial sessions to my colleagues at the university especially when they were in need for deeper explanations of hard concepts such as Maths, Physics, Computer Programming in C++ and Java based on the OOP principles. During the last summer, I ran a tuition program to a German colleague to explain to him the concepts of a module called Dynamics and Control which he had failed in the first attempt exam period. At the end of the summer, he got 80% in the resit exam and then sent me a thank-you letter in which he stated that the way I was teaching him was much better for him than the way of the module teacher himself. That really gave me a higher level of confidence in my own ability of teaching.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach of tutoring is based on the 'friend-to-friend' rather than the 'teacher-to-student' relationship. The reason is to give the student a psychological feeling of that he/she is not being taught at a school or university class. A 5-minute break is always preferred to be given after each 2 hours of teaching. The main guaranteed outcome of each session is to implement a solid-state understanding and an overall coverage of the concept being discussed. Some testing questions of different difficulty levels are to be given at the end of each session to make sure the student has fully understood the concepts explained. Questions, course works, or home works are discussed after the relevant concepts have been fully explained and understood. The determined charge is 12 per hour.
