12 years of educational experience with a SEND/SEMH specialism.
I have worked internationally teaching students of primary level or age, supporting them in their academic journey.

I have a masters degree in Education from Durham with a disseration focus on supporting SEND learners in the classroom, which I implement into my teaching.
I can teach Maths and Chemistry from KS2 to A level. I have been teaching since 1989. I have retired few years back from full time teaching.
After graduating with an honours degree in Mathematics, Zahra entered the hedge fund world where she studied for CIMA and CFA qualifications. During that time she also taught on a voluntary basis, before deciding to pursue teaching full time.

As well as teaching maths, Zahra is also responsible for the delivery of the Medical Programme designed for students applying for medicine, dentistry or veterinary science and specialises in training students for the UKCAT and BMAT exams.
I have won three awards for excellence and a superb tutor. In addition, I have successfully employed various teaching approach/ strategy when teaching and found that this led to many positive student outcomes, such as students getting A grades in A level Maths and Further Maths. I have experience in teaching KS2,11+, KS3, GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A Level maths online and face-to-face. I have worked as an examiner with various exam boards such as: Edexcel and AQA.

I always take a student-centered approach to teaching by asking students to bring their notes and talk me through the topics they feel are most difficult. My aim as your tutor would be to identify your strengths and weaknesses and build upon these appropriately. I would incorporate past paper questions very early in the curriculum to assess how well a child can apply their knowledge to answering exam questions. This will ensure that by the time the exams are sat the student will be fully prepared.
Rest assured you are in good hands.

I am a qualified teacher of Mathematics with wide experience teaching from years 5 to 13. I taught for five years at an all girls` secondary school in Bath before moving to an extremely high achieving boys`school close to my new home in Northwood.
I had spent the years prior teaching in mixed gender secondary schools in Bristol and Trowbridge as well as a middle school in Dorset.
I have seven years of experience helping young people achieve their goals in mathematics in a tutor capacity.
I have created a wealth of resources in recent years with the aim of diagnosing and curing misconceptions in topic specific areas within the curriculum for key stage 3, GCSE, IGCSE, FSMQ and A-level. These have proven invaluable in preparing students for their state examinations.
Do you want to become more confident in Maths lessons and being able keep up with everything what you're explained? With my tutoring, the focused homework and given feedback, students develop skills, increase their self-efficacy and improve their academic performance.

I am patient and I believe you can be better in Maths with perseverance, practice and a tutor who knows how to boost student's confidence.
After successfully finishing my PGCE course in St Mary's University Twickenham, I was teaching Mathematics in secondary grammar school for 4 years. During that time I have become aware of students' needs for gaining higher level as making Maths enjoyable and students responsible learners.
I also have five years tutoring experience on one-to-one basis where I have been helping students to cope with Maths, to gain more confidence, to achieve higher level in school and enhance their mathematical abilities. I focus on deep understanding of the topics through explanation in the best individual way chosen for each of the tutees.
During my lessons I introduce the new material in a simple way. This is followed by working on instructive reinforcing exercises to enhance and deepen understanding and build confidence in the new knowledge. I set focused homework at the end of each lesson and discuss marked homework at the start of the next one using it to emphasis on the areas that require improvement and also for keeping a track of students' progress.
If you are looking for a tutor who is reliable, patient and believe in enhancing student's level and love Mathematics.....I'm here.

Some references from parents:
"My son is currently taking his GCSEs, and I have worked with him on the content of this reference; we both want to start by saying that we cannot recommend Sharon more highly as a science tutor.
As a parent, Sharon is extremely easy to work with – our communications, whether in writing or talking, are very clear and professional but importantly also very reassuring, as you instantly feel you’re in safe and experienced hands.
Sharon was able to quickly assess my son’s gaps in learning and form a plan to cover all three science subjects. Since he has been working with Sharon, I have seen my son’s confidence grow significantly. He looks forward to the lessons (even opting to have additional ones) as he values Sharon’s extensive subject knowledge and ability to be able to explain complicated topics and concepts clearly and patiently, but also repeatedly until he feels he has a full grasp. What I value is that throughout the lessons she ensures he communicates with her, answering questions, explaining his reasoning etc. in order to constantly check his understanding rather than 'taking his word for it' before moving on.
Without Sharon’s teaching and also her practical exam guidance he would not be entering his science GCSEs with his current level of confidence. We were incredibly lucky to find Sharon as it is rare to find a tutor with Sharon’s subject knowledge and level of teaching experience."
"*** grades were: Chem=6, Bio=5, Phys=5. He would not have achieved this without your tutoring."
I achieved 8 in GCSE maths, 9s in GCSE biology and chemistry and A*AA in Psychology, chemistry and biology A levels. I customize each session to meet individual learning styles, ensuring a supportive and effective learning environment. Whether you’re aiming to boost grades, prepare for exams, or deepen your understanding of a subject, my goal is to help you achieve your academic aspirations.

Teaching is my third and final career and I love it. I have over 25 years experience of helping students of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. I am a qualified teacher with 14 years in classrooms, teaching English and law, and I'm also a qualified journalist and solicitor. I found school very challenging myself, so I completely understand why many very bright students don't do as well as they could at school. The truth is, school isn't always the best place to learn. The current situation means that by September, most of the current cohort of students in year 10 are not going to know what has hit them. GCSE has become increasingly difficult since 2008 and the 2015 reform means that it is exceedingly difficult to get above grade 6. I anticipate that this year's year 11 cohort hoping to study English at A level will be similarly shellshocked. The gap between GCSE and A level is enormous and even students with a predicted grade 8 or 9 are likely to find the A level daunting to say the least. I offer one to one support online using facetime, zoom and Google docs for students able to type.
I also offer small group preparation for both next year's GCSE and A levels in both language and literature to ensure that in September they hit the ground running. These sessions are done using zoom or at my home in Ealing. Tutoring Experience:- Since 1998 I have helped literally hundreds of students to:-
* achieve grade A/A*/9 in GCSE English both literature and language;
* get into a wide range of top London schools both private and selective grammar schools including St Paul's Girls, St Paul's Boys, Henrietta Barnett, Tiffin Girls, Eton, UCS, as well as Merchant Taylor, Godolphin and Latimer, Haileybury, Hampton, John Lyons, Notting Hill and Ealing, Kew House, St James', Kings College Wimbledon, Haberdashers Askes, St Helen's Northwood, Northwood College, Royal Masonic, Habs Girls, Harrow School, Northbridge House, St Augustines, Brighton College and Latymer Upper * win scholarships to Harrow School, UCS Northwood College and Notting Hill and Ealing High. I also help children aged 4 and above who are struggling with English, French or maths. In 2019 I had five GCSE students who attend state private schools, and three who attend private schools including St. Pauls Boys; six 11+ primary students and four home-schooled students aged 7, 12, 14 and 16.
I am pleased to say that out of the 8 GCSE students, 7 got grade 9 for both English language and English literature. The other student got 9 for literstliterature for language As for my 11+ students, in February this year all 6 of them got places at their first choice schools which were NHE, Latymer Upper, Kew House, Tiffin Girls, Henrietta Barnett and Northwood College. I also see several adults on a regular or ad hoc basis, for example Claudette who is 58. Initially I helped her with GCSE English in 2016. I then supported her during her Access course. She's now halfway through her degree in physiotherapy at Birkbeck.
Background information:- My first teaching experience was as a volunteer, teaching Adult Literacy from 1985-1987 while working as a freelance journalist.
When I completed my LPC in 1994 I started tutoring law while waiting for a training contract to manifest. Halfway through that training contract I realised that I preferred working as a tutor to working in law and left law.
From 1995-97 I taught at a local boys preparatory school - Durston House - while completing my vocational training part time as a solicitor. I began tutoring fulltime in 1998 when I realised that although working in the law is fascinating, it's not a lifestyle I want, and I have been tutoring ever since. From 1999 to 2012 I was teaching English fulltime in a sixth form college which specialised in English at all levels from Functional Skills and IELTS, to academic English i.e. GCSE, Access, and A Level language, literature and lang/lit. I continued to see a few private students, and in 2012 I returned to fulltime tutoring. Ad hoc help:- Apart from tutoring, I also help adult students with their theses and dissertations, teach them how to edit their work properly, how to ensure that they are not straying off topic, and how to improve their vocabulary and expression. I can do this online or face to face. Help with personal statements, applications for research grants and CVs is available face to face or via Google docs. Children- and adults- with disabilities:- In the last 22 years I have taught literally thousands of students and many of them have had disabilities including deaf students, visually impaired students and students with cerebral palsy, as well as students with learning difficulties including AS, APD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. I have studied the growing problem of both ESOL and native speaking English students who have difficulty in drawing inferences from what they read. My method of teaching uses a very carefully selected range of texts to focus on intensely in order to determine whether further investigation is appropriate. I am not qualified to diagnose autism but I have successfully taught many students on the spectrum. Tutoring Approach:- Alongside teaching, I have studied the psychology of learning and have many tools at my disposal to teach the skills that today's students and job seekers need. If you are struggling in school, college or university, it is not your fault. My job is to ensure that you do not need a tutor as quickly as possible while offering ongoing support if necessary. I believe that given the right atmosphere, attitude and support, anyone can succeed. A stressful environment makes learning almost impossible, so my lessons are extremely relaxing. Students are usually amazed at how fast the time passes. At the end of the session I ensure the student understands everything covered in that session, and may ask for the student to complete an appropriate length homework to bring to the next session. My motto is "self talk determines destiny" and I help students to unlearn the idea that they can't do something. My approach is first to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student. The first session is designed for the student (and their parents) to assess me, as well as for me to work out the student's current level of ability and their learning style. In subsequent sessions the most important thing is to ensure that the student has no gaps in their understanding of the subject and what is required. So I always begin at the beginning and usually students progress very quickly through the first phase. Once they are reasonably confident and have caught up with their school's expectations, I begin to stretch them, at their own pace. I believe that students want to do well but are self-conscious and dislike asking for help at school as it makes them feel stupid. Lack of basic understanding results in lack of self confidence which can easily develop into becoming withdrawn or disruptive in class, or hating the subject. It is quite easy to turn the student's attitude around once they realise that they can succeed, so I do a lot of confidence building exercises and use praise and humour to help them see what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right. As a result of this, their self esteem is enhanced and they become more willing to contribute in class and take risks, rather than sitting in the back of the classroom praying for the time to pass. I use my own resources which I have developed by studying assessment criteria and objectives of all of the boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC) as well as the specifics of GCSE and IGCSE. For 11+ and CE I use a wide range of texts that are demanding and lend themselves to students learning how to explore linguisruc effects. I prefer to tutor at the student's home because I think students feel more secure and relaxed in their own home, however students can of course, come to me if this suits them better. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions as long as the student feels comfortable with that. I am always happy to consider teaching friends at the same time to keep costs down (max group size 4 students), and am happy to negotiate an appropriate rate for group sessions. Such sessions take place in my home. Please note the following:- 1. I charge a supplement of £7.50 to travel upto 3 miles as well as a residents parking ticket if necessary or reimbursement for parking costs;
2. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation or payment in full (except for travel time) under all circumstances including sudden illness.Whenever possible I will offer a session later in the week but this is not always possible.
3. On Sundays I only teach from my home;
4. For distances beyond 3 miles radius of my home, the minimum session is an hour and a half. This can be shared between siblings, or between subjects eg maths and English, maths and French or English and French;
5. For distances beyond 5 miles radius of my home, I charge for one hour of my time, or an uber in both directions, whichever is cheaper, instead of £7.50. These sessions are also a minimum of an hour and a half, which can be shared between siblings or subjects;
6. All GCSE and A level students are welcome to send me essays of upto 1000 words to comment on between sessions. There is no charge.for this service. Finally, if you would like references from current or previous students (or their parents) please just ask.

Thank you so much for your help at the last minute. Michael got A for Literature and A for language.
•Shivam C, December 2013 successful applicant to Princeton:
Laura helped me with all the essays over whole weekends perfecting the essays. We were working in a very short time-frame. She was always very patient. Her calm demeanour and attention-to-detail was a huge aid for me to get into Dartmouth College (best undergraduate teaching in America). I would recommend anyone to get Laura to help them with any essays they have. She would be equally splendid as a teacher in English writing skills or grammar, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.

Rumel is one of these rare breeds of teachers who manages to totally inspire his pupils to want to learn. He has the ability to get his pupils to think for themselves and to realise that learning can be fun. Rumel taught my daughter Maths and English to help her get into her chosen senior school. I can’t praise Rumel highly enough in terms of what he did for my daughter. He gave her the confidence to believe in herself with regards to how she would approach the various topics in her weaker suit, Maths. He also filled in the gaps in her knowledge. Rumel is without doubt the best investment I could have made to my daughter’s education. She flew through the entrance exams and was awarded an academic scholarship to her first choice, Sherborne School for Girls, which she started recently. I would happily recommend Rumel to anyone who is serious about their child’s education.

Since receiving tutoring from Rumel, Martin has attained A* grades in his Maths and three Sciences at IGCSE. In the past, Martin found it difficult to focus in class and had not always achieved his best. However, one-to-one tutoring with Rumel built his confidence up and together they worked through all the missing and weak areas. Rumel’s approach encouraged Martin to be engaged and interested in what he was learning. As a result of our son’s vast improvement, I have happily recommended Rumel to a number of my friends and will continue to do so.

Rumel was excellent and I would highly recommend him. My son learnt so much from Rumel. Not only was he a superb motivator and great as a Maths and Physics tutor, but he also provided valuable advice on university courses and exam technique.

Rumel is a patient and personable tutor who puts his students at ease. Asim was slightly apprehensive about being tutored, but within days was enjoying his lessons and felt a lot more confident with some challenging topics. After only six months, Asim passed his 10+ entrance exam to Whitgift. A brilliant tutor and excellent role model, I would strongly recommend him.

Rumel’s passion for Mathematics really comes through in his teaching and, without his help, I would have found the subject very hard indeed.

Highly professional and excellent results to match.

We just heard the brilliant news that Alexander got into Dulwich College. Can’t thank you enough!
*
Lacking confidence and getting low predicted grades, I found Rumel and he helped with all the problems I was having in Maths (specifically M1), and boosted my confidence in Physics. In all, I achieved 3 A’s and a place at the University of Durham. Rumel was very welcoming, easy to learn from and I would strongly recommend his services.
*
Rumel was a great help to my son. He was punctual, reliable and a wonderful role model for a teenager. Gregory also felt that he was excellent in providing support with past papers for Mathematics and Physics at A level.
*
I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Rumel is an exceptional tutor with expert knowledge in A-level exam technique. He is always very patient and understands the best ways to teach pupils.
*
Rumel has worked with both my son and daughter, enabling my son to pass his undergraduate calculus exams and ultimately his degree in Economics. My daughter struggled with Mathematics previously, but is now very confident having achieved an A* at GCSE and A grade at A level. Rumel is patient, well-spoken and engages with both my children at the right level. I highly recommend him.
*
Rumel tutored Maths to both my sons who achieved A* grades at both GCSE and A-Level as a result of some inspired teaching. An exceptionally talented young man.
