University of Alberta

Teaching Format:
The lessons I provide are always adapted to suit the student's needs and ability. My focus is to assist the student to feel successful and find success in learning science!
With a solid science and teaching background, I can fully relate to the challenges students face when studying a scientific concept and the importance of bridging the knowledge to the real world. I strive to achieve a relaxed yet educational learning atmosphere where I use humor, real-world topics during discussions and writing exercises to help students apply the knowledge acquired. I emphasize my teaching based on applying keywords and finding out the objective of the question, so my lessons will be aligned with that concept in mind.

Why me?
I take pride in helping you on the journey of learning Science, to assist you in achieving your academic goals! Whether that is preparing for the GCSE/ A level test, revising course work, I dedicate my time to ensure that all your questions are answered to the best of my ability!

Welcome to an engaging and dynamic learning experience designed to unlock the mysteries of GCSE & A Level Mathematics/Science! In these lessons, we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, delving deep into the fascinating world of mathematical and scientific principles.

Key Features:

Interactive Learning: Prepare to be actively engaged in every lesson through hands-on activities, stimulating discussions, and immersive multimedia resources. We believe that active participation is the key to deepening understanding and retention of complex concepts.

Real-World Applications: Explore the relevance of Mathematics/Science in everyday life and various fields of study. From solving practical problems to understanding the underlying principles behind natural phenomena, we bridge the gap between theory and application, fostering a deeper appreciation for the subjects.

Personalized Support: Recognizing that every student learns differently, we provide personalized support tailored to individual needs and learning styles. Whether you're a visual learner, an auditory learner, or a hands-on learner, we strive to accommodate your preferences and empower you to succeed.

Conceptual Clarity: Our approach emphasizes conceptual clarity over rote memorization. We aim to equip you with a solid foundation of understanding, enabling you to tackle complex problems with confidence and creativity.

Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving: Develop your analytical skills and problem-solving abilities as we navigate through challenging mathematical and scientific scenarios. By encouraging curiosity and inquiry, we foster a growth mindset that prepares you to tackle real-world challenges beyond the classroom.

Collaborative Learning: Embrace the power of collaboration as we engage in group activities, peer discussions, and cooperative problem-solving tasks. Through collaboration, we harness the collective wisdom and diverse perspectives of the group, enriching our learning experience and fostering a sense of community.

Feedback and Reflection: Receive timely feedback on your progress and performance, guiding you towards continuous improvement and growth. We believe that constructive feedback is essential for refining skills and overcoming obstacles on the path to mastery.

Lesson Structure:

Each lesson is thoughtfully structured to optimize learning outcomes and student engagement. We begin with a brief overview of the lesson objectives and key concepts, followed by interactive presentations, guided practice exercises, and collaborative activities. Throughout the lesson, there are opportunities for questions, discussions, and reflections to deepen understanding and address any misconceptions.

Outcome:

By the end of these lessons, you will emerge as a confident and proficient learner, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to excel in GCSE & A Level Mathematics/Science. Whether you're aiming for academic success, pursuing further studies in STEM fields, or simply seeking to enrich your understanding of the world around you, these lessons will empower you to reach your goals and unleash your full potential.

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 :)

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.
