About Me

I have a great passion for maths and science and have loved them from a very young age. From the very start of primary school, I have used every opportunity I could to explain maths to people who struggle with the subject. Every time I used to explain solutions to my fellow pupils, I realized that teaching gave me this euphoric feeling that I don't get from anything else. That is when I realized I wanted to teach maths. I tutor my little sister maths and seeing her progress makes be so refreshed. I crave for that feeling I get when I teach, knowing I am actually contributing to society, being useful and doing something that makes me smile. Seeing my students improve their skills after my contribution is what makes this so special to me. I am ecstatic at the thought of receiving the opportunity to teach people something I love.

(Note: many pupils said that they understood it much better when I explained it than when the teacher explained it. This is why I believe that teaching isn't only about the age you are, or how much experience you have, but also your natural skill is a big part of it. So a 16-year-old with some A levels can easily be a better teacher than a 40-year-old with a Ph.D. and age shouldn't restrict you in reaching your full potential).

I have great organizational skills so will be thoroughly prepared for every lesson. My belief is that every student should have the opportunity to work at their own pace and be able to fulfill their potential, something that is sometimes not possible in a classroom environment. I find myself a quite patient person so I will always remain calm. I have been told by a number of people that I have good leadership skills, motivational skills and that I am good at explaining concepts and hard problems to people of different mindsets. Also, I am very creative so will find different ways of teaching my students in a way that is simply not possible in a classroom environment of 20 people. My lessons will be tailored to every individual student's needs and any requests can be catered for. My students will go at their own pace to maximize their experience with my service. I am very adaptable and believe that teachers should not have a fixed teaching style, but should change their style to benefit the student's needs as different students learn effectively in different ways. I love the challenge of improving my students' knowledge of the subject and ensuring they get the grade they yearn for. I can assure you that I am reliable and am the best person to tutor your child.
