Personal Description:
I have extensive tutoring experience, specializing in Physics education for both GCSE and A Level. Additionally, I offer tutoring in GCSE and A Level Mathematics. I hold a postgraduate degree in Applied Physics and began my career as a Physicist in Optoelectronics Research & Development before transitioning into ICT systems engineering. With 30 years in industry, I have worked on a variety of complex and commercial applications of science and technology. In addition to my industry work, I have been actively involved in educating both professionals and secondary school students. See below summary of career roles and achievements:

• Physicist for General Electric Company, Optoelectronics R & D.

Tutoring Approach:
My ultimate goal for any student is to make real and noticeable progress in their subject. Different students learn differently and it's important for me to identify their own unique learning style, not only to maximise their learning but to inspire and motivate them to learn. I endeavour to make learning both informative and enjoyable. See below a summary of my general approach:

• Focus on any identified areas of weakness and build on strengths.
• Adopt teaching method to suit student's learning style.
• Facilitate learning; encourage students to use own ideas to solve problems.
• Teach by principle enabling students to deal with all manner of complex problems.
• To aid understanding some topics maybe covered on a wider level than the syllabus specifies.
• Assess progress using exercise workbooks and other test assessments.
• Prepare students for exams; going through past papers and exam techniques.
• Homework is given and completion is expected by next lesson.

My broad career experience helps me to impart knowledge in a more enthusiastic, clearer, convincing, and mature way, with the ability to better relate scientific/mathematical concepts to everyday life and to the commercial world.

Personal Description:
I have a long experience of teaching mathematics on various levels from GCSE mathematics up to university level. I am currently the Mathemtics Subject Leader on the Warwick University Higher Education Foundation Programme at Stratford upon Avon College. I teach mathematics on this programme. I also teach A level mathematics and A level Further Mathematics. I run a workshop preparing students to sit for AEA mathematics and STEP papers.
From 1999 to 2004 I was a member of the Mechanics Development Group of the MEI A level Mathematics Board whose task was to develop the mechanics syllabus and provide training for teachers teaching A level mathematics.

Teaching Experience:
I taught mathematics at university level at Khartoum University and the UAE University. I also taught mathematics at Coventry University(part-time) in 2001/2002. I have been teaching at Stratford College since 1995. I have had experiences of private tuition for students doing A level Mathematics and for students in their final year of a mathematics degree.

Tutoring Approach:
1. Start by identifying the areas where a tutee needs help by an appropriately designed diagnostic assignment.
2. Focus on improving understanding of concepts in the areas highlighted by the diagnostic assignment.
3. Consolidate on the stronger points of the tutee.
4. Spend a substantial amount of the tuition time on improving the problem solving techniques of the tutee.
5. Improving the exam techniques and practicing for exam under exam conditions.

Personal Description:
My 13 years experience working as a Principal Examiner included responsibility for writing your A Level and AS Psychology exam papers for a major exam board; awarding grades to students and writing the all important examiner reports. In this respect I have a true insight into how Psychology exam papers are set and marked having supervised the marking of thousands of exams since 2002. I was also part of the team that wrote and produced the new A Level Psychology specifications for 2008 and 2015.

I have been providing training and support to staff and students since 2003 and visit numerous schools and colleges regularly especially during the key revision season. I am a regular speaker for Keynote Educational Ltd and also run successful staff and student Psychology webinars.

Teaching Experience:
I have over 20 years teaching experience and have taught and examined for both AQA and Edexcel specifications at A level and GCSE. I have written articles for Psychology Review and am a published author having written textbooks at A level and GCSE.

Tutoring Approach:
Whether its simplifying content or more importantly understanding what the examiners want then look no further.
My sessions are always dictated by the needs of the student and we will typically focus on building confidence in understanding and answering exam questions. Getting your written abilities to match your verbal abilities is key as so many students know the answer but just cant write it down in the exam in order to get marks.
Exams have changed significantly so there is less guessing what's going to be on the paper and a heavier focus on applying knowledge to questions. I will challenge you to tackle these and other types of questions so you are fully prepared for them.
I always say 50% of your grade in August will be down to the correct type of revision and the other 50% is down to how you interpret the exam question, together we will successfully tackle both. I look forward to working with you, either face to face or online via Skype, and helping you achieve something special.

GCSE: Group of 2 = £35pp, Group of 3 = £30pp (1 hour lessons)
A level: Group of 2 = £40pp, Group of 3 = £35pp (1 hour lessons)

Teaching Experience:
- Maths teacher at a grammar school for over 5 years (including 2.5 years as 2nd in department) before moving to one of the top private schools in the country for 1.5 years

- Taught all ability levels from KS3 right through to A level Further Maths

I have been tutoring full time for the past 2 years.

Tutoring Approach:
I do not believe anyone is "bad" at maths, they just need the right support to build their confidence and understanding.

In my experience this is achieved through clear explanations and examples from the tutor coupled with plenty of practice questions. Having taught for over 7 years I have an excellent understanding of where students difficulties are likely to lie and thoroughly prepare every lessons in advance to gently tease out these misconceptions and cement understanding. I also give students questions on topics they have not seen for several weeks to help with memory retention and ultimately make revision easier.

Quite simply:

The more maths they do, the better they will get at.

Feedback can be provided as often as you'd like.

Personal Description:
Hey I'm Abdul. I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University of Leeds. I passed my 11+ and attended Wilson's School and I absolutely loved my time there. When studying for my GCSE's, I struggled quite a lot with Chemistry and so I decided to get a tutor. After a few months of receiving tuition, there was a noticeable improvement in my grades and I achieved a grade 9 in Chemistry GCSE and later on studied it for A-level and achieved a grade A. I was very thankful to my tutors and teachers as I could not have done well in my studies without them.

During my time at sixth form, I volunteered to tutor GCSE students in my school. I later on taught some students outside of school for 1 year and it allowed me to build a long term relationship with my students and be able to actually see improvements in their grades and confidence in that subject. This was an extremely rewarding feeling for me and is what motivates me as a tutor.

In my free time, I like to play badminton and spend time with friends and family.

Teaching Experience:
**Volunteer Mentor at Wilson's School (6 months) & Private Tutoring outside of school (2 years)**

- Regularly mentored GCSE students, personalising lessons based on individual needs and abilities, which improved their comprehension and academic performance. After around 3 months of this, the students confirmed they had seen at least a 1 grade improvement from grade 7's to grade 8's and 9's.
- Created a supportive and nurturing learning environment, instilling confidence and motivating students who initially struggled to see the value in their education

Tutoring Approach:
I ask my students about their weakest areas of subject knowledge and plan my lessons from there. Moreover, I engage with my students by asking them questions to ensure they are understanding everything. When showing them a subject specific question, I make sure it's from their exam board and is from past papers so they are able to answer similar questions in their exams.

Personal Description:
I am a passionate and adaptable tutor with over four years of experience delivering high-impact, personalized online instruction in mathematics, science, and engineering. My academic foundation in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, combined with practical teaching experience at both college and university-preparatory levels, allows me to bridge theory and application in a way that is both engaging and accessible.

My strength lies in making complex topics digestible. I use digital tools like GeoGebra, Microsoft Whiteboard, and Python-based simulations to bring mathematical and scientific principles to life. I believe in learning through doing-whether it's solving real-world equations or visualising physics phenomena through interactive simulations.

Outside of formal teaching, I've worked on projects involving solar energy optimization and shear behavior in materials, which gives me a unique perspective when helping students connect textbook content to real-world innovation. I take pride in mentoring students, not just academically but also in building confidence and curiosity in STEM.

I'm also highly organized and value clear communication. I tailor each lesson based on student goals and learning styles, constantly adapting my methods to ensure progress and clarity. Whether I'm preparing a learner for exams or helping them build foundational skills, I aim to foster not just understanding but also enthusiasm for the subject.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching since 2021 as an online tutor, working with secondary, GCSE, and college-level students in mathematics, physics, and engineering topics. In addition to freelance tutoring, I've held academic roles at Oaklands College and Coventry College, where I taught Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mathematics. Most recently, I served as a Design and Technology Lecturer at Hull College.

Across all roles, I've designed and delivered comprehensive lesson plans, created digital learning materials, and led sessions that range from individual tutoring to classroom lectures. I'm adept at using both synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods, ensuring flexibility in my delivery. My sessions often involve a mix of visual demonstrations, real-world problem-solving, and interactive whiteboarding to engage learners and reinforce concepts.

In these roles, I've also supported exam preparation, conducted assessments, and provided feedback that helps students track their progress. Many of my students have shown marked improvement not just in grades but in their self-confidence and independent thinking.

My exposure to a wide range of learners-from high-performing students to those needing additional support-has helped me develop a highly inclusive, student-centered approach. I'm experienced in adapting materials for learners with varied needs, and I use learning analytics to tailor my sessions and ensure measurable progress.

Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring philosophy is centered on clarity, curiosity, and confidence. I aim to break down complex ideas into understandable, relatable chunks using analogies, visual tools, and real-life applications. Whether it's using GeoGebra to demonstrate calculus concepts or guiding students through design cycles in product development, my approach is practical, visual, and adaptive.

I always start with a diagnostic understanding of the student's current knowledge and learning goals. Based on that, I create tailored lesson plans that align with their school curriculum or personal development targets. I use formative assessments regularly to measure understanding and adjust my pace and content accordingly.

Interactive teaching is key to my sessions-I encourage students to ask questions, explore problems from different angles, and reflect on their learning. I use tools such as screen sharing, digital annotations, coding platforms, and video resources to create dynamic, multi-sensory learning environments.

In addition to academic mastery, I focus on building students' confidence and problem-solving skills. I create a supportive space where mistakes are seen as part of the learning process. For students preparing for exams, I provide strategic revision techniques, timed practice, and feedback loops that promote independent study habits.

Above all, I'm passionate about helping learners see the value and beauty in science and mathematics, and I'm committed to helping them grow not just as students-but as thinkers and innovators.
