Personal Description:

Dear Students & Parents

My name is Menakha. I have graduated in BSc Hons Biomedical Science from Imperial University. My secondary education was completed at the Tiffin Girls' Grammar School. I believe it is more useful to find tutors who have been through what the students are going through, ie. I have been through the exams and stress you students are going through, so I feel I understand how to get through to you and help you achieve an A grade or higher in Maths, Biology or Chemistry, both in GCSEs and A levels. I would ultimately love to see my students achieve an A* in their tutored subject. I have all the past exam papers from specific exam boards, such as OCR, AQA, Edexcel etc, and through experience, I know the way to obtain the highest grade is to do as many past exam papers as possible. I have been taught by great teachers at Tiffins and I hope to shed this knowledge, understanding and their teaching ways onto my students.

I have a huge amount of patience, but most importantly I encourage all those around me to pursue their own dreams.



Teaching Experience:

I have tutored many students; GCSE and A Level Maths, Biology and Chemistry from a range of schools; with almost all of them obtaining a grade A or A*. During my time at Imperial University, I have tutored younger year Biomedical students. With all this experience and having received an outstanding education from a Grammar school and top University, I can assure you I will do everything possible to help my students obtain that A or A*.

I have seen students go from a grade D to an A within a few months of tutoring. When time is short, there are fast ways of boosting grades as long as you stick to the right method. I have seen students who hated Science go onto study Medicine at University through teaching them to love Science, as they realise they were never 'bad' at Science, just not taught the right way to tackle Science. This is what gives me pleasure, seeing these students become the best they can become.

Furthermore, I also tutor for the 11+ entrance exams. Having gone to a Grammar school myself I have past 11+ exam papers direct from many grammar and private schools. Once again the key to passing these exams is through these exam papers.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is simple. The key is to teach students the background information and understanding in the subject, then spend the time practising past exam papers from the exam board the student will be sitting. That is the key that worked for me and helped me obtain the grades I did in school and university. Every time a student finds a specific question difficult on an exam paper, I intend to go back to that topic and revise it fully, then resume to past exam papers focusing on only those specific topic questions. Then once all the difficult areas are sorted, we then go onto work through full length exam papers.

What students often find, as I did during my time, is that by working through all the exam questions from a particular topic, therefore the understanding that topic to the maximum together with full length past exam papers will ensure your grade A or A*.

The end result is to master your exam board and begin to think like an examiner yourself. Different exam boards have different ways in phrasing the same question and answer and mastering this is key. This is what will get you that A or A*.

This is what Tiffins and Imperial taught me and I now wish to teach the same principle to my students.
