Math Tutor of 7+ years experience with international experience in SAT, IGCSE and A/ AS LEVELS.
From 21.08 £ /h
Hello! My name is Samsideen. I am a passionate and dedicated professional educator specializing in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry across various international curricula, including SAT, IGCSE, and A/AS Levels.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, which gives me a deeply practical and analytical understanding of mathematical and scientific principles. To complement my engineering background with professional teaching practices, I earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) in Mathematics. Additionally, I am continually expanding my pedagogical skills and am currently undertaking a specialized program in Special Needs Education at the University of Lagos (Unilag) to ensure my teaching is inclusive and accessible to all types of learners.
Over my 7+ years in education, I have taught in top-tier international school environments, such as Binta International School, as well as various leading online tutoring platforms. My goal is always to demystify complex STEM subjects and help students build the confidence they need to excel in their examinations and schoolwork.
My Teaching Methodology & Techniques
I believe that no two students learn the same way, which is why my teaching approach is highly personalized, interactive, and student-centered:
Conceptual Clarity over Memorization: I focus heavily on helping students understand the "why" behind mathematical formulas and scientific concepts rather than just memorizing steps. Whether we are breaking down complex equations or analyzing physical laws, I use real-world engineering and practical examples to bring the theory to life.
Structured Interactive Tools: For online lessons, I utilize high-quality digital whiteboards, optimized lighting configurations, and clear visual setups to replicate a live classroom feel perfectly. This ensures that our sessions are highly engaging, and steps can be visually tracked in real-time.
Exam-Focused Preparation: For students preparing for standardized international tests like the SAT or IGCSE, I employ a data-driven approach. We work through past questions, break down marking schemes, and master time-management techniques so there are no surprises on exam day.
Patience and Adaptability: Drawing from my training in special education, I adapt my pacing to match the student's unique learning curve. I create a supportive, judgment-free environment where questions are always welcomed and mistakes are viewed as valuable milestones in the learning process.
Whether you are looking to boost your grades, prepare for an upcoming international exam, or fill in foundational gaps in math and science, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to achieve your academic goals!
