I studied Biology, chemistry and maths at A-levels. I have been tutoring for the past 6 years and my students always say that I have helped and encouraged their learning! I love to bake, cook, swim and run. Hi, my name is Dhruvi Kanadia and I am a final year dental student at the University of Birmingham! I'm really enthusiastic and I can't wait to teach you biology, chemistry and maths at GCSE. As an individual that has personally benefitted from tutoring, I understand the positive impact good tutoring has on students. I aim to develop confidence and inspire curiosity in the topics I tutor. I find interactive lessons most productive, as tutoring is 1-to-1, students can engage more and ask questions that they may have been afraid to ask in school. - As at A Level in Biology, Chemistry, Maths - 8 x Grade 9s in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Geography, English literature, French, Religious Studies - 2 x Grade 8s in English Language, Business Studies

I am a First-Class Computer Systems Engineering graduate. Mathematics and Computing have been central to both my academic journey and professional experience. With 11 years of teaching and tutoring experience across GCSE and A-Level, I have developed a strong understanding of the UK curriculum and the common challenges students face. I enjoy helping students move from confusion to clarity by breaking complex topics into structured, logical steps. Beyond improving grades, my goal is to help students build confidence and develop deep, sustained understanding. I believe Mathematics and Computing should feel logical and empowering — not intimidating. I completed my BSc in Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Westminster, graduating with First-Class Honours. My degree gave me a strong foundation in programming (Python, C++, C, VHDL and Assembly), embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware design and robotics. During my studies, I led and contributed to several technical projects, including designing FIR filters using VHDL, programming PIC and MBED microcontrollers, and developing software systems in C++ and Python. I was also recognised with academic excellence awards for my performance. Prior to university, I completed my A-Level certification at Ahmadu Bello University, studying Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, and earlier obtained my secondary school leaving certificate at Livingstone College . Alongside my academic background, I have over 11 years of experience teaching and tutoring GCSE and A-Level Mathematics, as well as several years teaching Computing. I have worked in UK secondary schools as a Teaching Assistant supporting STEM subjects and SEN students, and as an online tutor delivering structured, results-driven lessons. My specialisation lies in Mathematics and Computer Science, particularly breaking complex, abstract ideas into logical, manageable steps that build deep and lasting understanding.

Education: Bachelor degree of Science in Biology and Chemistry, with a minor in psychology Teaching: 4 years of Experience with all school and university year students Languages: Fluent English and native Arabic. Student age : Any age I am extremely passionate and super flexible when it comes to teaching, especially in subjects that I have strong passion towards. I can deliver the information needed depending on each student's needs and interests. I also yearn to make my sessions spiritful, interesting, and as concise as I can.
