About Me

As an enthusiastic and dedicated tutor, I bring a strong academic background, a passion for creative teaching, and a wealth of experience in supporting students to achieve their full potential. I am currently a student at Imperial College London, one of the world’s leading universities, where I continue to build on the academic excellence I demonstrated throughout my IGCSEs and A-levels, particularly excelling in Mathematics, Biology, Geography, French, Art, Chemistry, and English.

I have hands-on experience facilitating peer learning as a PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) Leader, where I guided younger students through challenging course material. In this role, I developed strong communication and leadership skills, helping students grasp difficult concepts while fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment. I also have experience working with much younger children (Ages 5-10) as a volunteer at my local church, where I gained experience in various activities, improving my ability to create a nurturing and interactive space for learning, especially for younger students

I use creative teaching methods and digital learning tools like Kahoot and Quizlet to bring lessons to life, whether it’s reinforcing core concepts, practicing exam techniques, or exploring new ideas. I tailor lessons to the unique learning style and pace of each student and I am committed to nurtuting not just academic skills, but also critical thinking, problem-solving, and a groeth mindset.

Education

I completed my degreee at the Univeristy of Manchester from 2021-2024, where I received a BSc in Genetics. I am currently a student at Imperial College London where I am completing my MSc in Genomic Medicine.

Experience / Qualifications

In my final year of university I was a PASS Leader. This role included tutoring other university students in their biology related degrees and also giving them advice about life on campus. I have also volunteered at my church during Vacation Bible School where I was a leader for children between the age of 5-10.

Tutoring for International Baccalaureate (IB) Maths AA HL/SL, Chemistry HL/SL, Physics HL/SL and for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) International Mathematics (0607), Additional Mathematics (0606), Physics (0625) Chemistry (0620).

I aim to make sure students understand material intuitively first before delving into complicated questions and foster a friendly and patient learning environment. Instead of relying on memorising formulas, I teach students how to derive the formulas themselves, build upon their previous knowledge and use them to solve complex questions in a simple way, building their confidence in the process. To facilitate this, I use metaphors and every-day things to construct stories that help students remember concepts and relationships between them.

My lessons are tailored to each student's needs, preferences and learning style so I am able to accommodate specific requests. I can help students work on improving both overall understanding of the subject as well as detailed and thorough understanding of specific topics/sub-topics. As someone who sat these exams myself, I know what the most common mistakes in each topic are, the best exam techniques and have lots of tips, tricks and resources I can share!

I offer flexible scheduling, with availability during the day, early mornings, and late evenings for lessons online or in-person lessons near South Kensington. Please message me before booking so we can find a time that works for both of us!
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me :)

A final year engineering student, currently on exchange at Imperial College London, I offer private lessons in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Thanks to my two years of preparatory classes for the grandes écoles (CPGE), I have acquired a solid foundation in these subjects and a rigorous working method. Originally from France, I am fluent in French and English, which allows me to teach in both languages, depending on the student's needs. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and I enjoy helping students understand, progress and gain confidence, whether to overcome difficulties or to improve. My goal is to support each student in a personalized way, at their own pace.

Mathematics and physics are often problematic subjects because the teacher does not have time to sit down with a student to go over point by point the poorly understood parts of the course.

With my engineering training and 5 years of experience as a private tutor, currently a student at Imperial College London, I believe I can help you fill in your gaps and regain confidence in your ability to solve mathematical and physical problems.

I can give lessons in French or English in 1 to 2 hour slots.
I can adapt to all levels up to the license.

Im Yong Zhi, a 2nd-year Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at Imperial College London, with a strong academic background in mathematics and physical sciences. I achieved 4 A* grades at A-Level, including a Top In The World award for Mathematics, and I was awarded the Dean’s List in my first year at Imperial (top 5% of the cohort).

I have over a year of online tutoring experience, specialising in GCSE and A-Level Maths and Physics, as well as admissions-focused preparation for highly competitive exams such as ESAT and Oxbridge/Imperial entrance pathways. I was also a teaching assistant for first year students for my course. I was a lab assistant, teaching students safe and pragmatic lab practices so that they could learn how to use equipment and build circuits effectively.

My approach focuses on building deep conceptual understanding alongside strong exam technique. I prioritise helping students become confident problem-solvers rather than relying on memorisation, and I tailor each session to the student’s specific weaknesses and exam goals.

For exam preparation, I emphasise:

Breaking down difficult topics into clear, structured steps
Developing efficient problem-solving strategies under time pressure
Targeted practice using past-paper style questions
Improving accuracy, speed, and exam confidence

Whether the goal is securing top GCSE/A-Level grades or preparing for competitive university admissions, I aim to provide structured, high-impact support that is focused on measurable improvement.
