I’m a chemistry student who loves literature, music and all things mathematical (especially when combined with physics!) I started tutoring 2 years ago part time while studying at college. My favourite things to do include travelling and playing with my dogs. I’m currently an offer holder at the University of Edinburgh for an integrated masters in Chemistry.

Hi there! I'm Tami Okono, and I’m excited to support you on your learning journey. I’m a Business Economics graduate with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand explanations. I’m passionate about helping students not just understand their subjects, but feel confident applying what they’ve learned in exams. My teaching style is supportive, structured, and tailored to each student’s individual pace and learning style. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy cooking, travelling, and playing table tennis. Levels & Subjects I Teach PRIMARY: Mathematics, Science LOWER LEVEL ( 7-9 ): Mathematics, Science GCSE ( 10 - 11): Science, Mathematics, Business, Geography, History IGCSE ( 10 - 11): Science, Mathematics Exam Board Experience AQA - GCSE Edexcel - GCSE Cambridge - GCSE / IGCSE OCR - GCSE Languages English – Native French – Beginner Preferred Student Age Group Primary GCSE IGCSE I hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Business Economics, where I developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to break down complex ideas into simple, understandable concepts. For my A-levels, I studied Mathematics, Economics, and Psychology under the AQA and Edexcel exam boards. This gave me a solid academic foundation and a strong understanding of both numerical and essay-based subjects. I completed my IGCSEs under the Cambridge exam board, which exposed me to an internationally recognised curriculum and helped me build disciplined study habits from an early stage. I also completed part of my education in Nigeria, which has given me a broader perspective on learning and allows me to connect with students from different backgrounds and adapt to their individual needs and growth.

Hi! I am an academically passionate tutor with A* A* A at A-level in English Literature, Biology, and History, and I am currently studying Law with Politics at degree level. I have over three years of tutoring and mentoring experience, working with 11+ and GCSE students. I also have specific experience helping students who were previously struggling or underperforming to move from failing grades to top grades - not just passing - through clear, structured, and targeted teaching. I genuinely enjoy tutoring because I’ve seen how powerful the right support can be, when something finally clicks, it completely changes how a student feels about a subject. My aim is to make that moment happen regularly by breaking topics down clearly and building understanding step by step. Me and my students focus on: - strengthening core skills - filling gaps in understanding - building exam and classroom confidence - encouraging independent thinking, not just memorisation I understand that every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to suit their pace, personality and ability, whether they need patience and repetition or more challenge and extension. I aim to help students not just improve their grades, but genuinely change how they approach and understand learning. Education History: I passed the 11+ in 2017 and attended the highly selective Pate’s Grammar School (2018–2025). I achieved 5 Grade 9s, 3 Grade 8s, and 2 Grade 7s at GCSE (2023), followed by A* A* A at A-level (2025) in English Literature, Biology, and History. I am currently studying Law with Politics at undergraduate level, continuing to develop strong analytical, evaluative, and written communication skills. Experience: Alongside my academic studies, I have developed over three years of tutoring and mentoring experience. I have worked with 11+ students as well as GCSE learners, helping students build confidence, improve exam technique, and achieve strong academic progress. My students have all performed successfully in 11+ exams, and have achieved 7s, 8s, and 9s at GCSE level. In addition, I have held leadership and mentoring roles, including supporting younger students with literacy, reading comprehension and maths (Year 4 - Year 7) and working with children in youth and classroom settings through volunteering roles and placements. This has given me experience working with a wide range of learners, including those with ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, and adapting my approach to meet individual needs. Overall, I combine a strong academic record with proven tutoring experience and a highly adaptable, student-focused approach to help learners achieve measurable academic success and long-term confidence.

If you are looking for a tutor who combines deep subject expertise with a strategic, exam-oriented approach, I am here to help. As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer holding dual degrees in Engineering and Business Administration, and with extensive teaching experience right here on GoStudent, I specialize in helping students navigate the pressures of GCSEs across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, IGCSE). Why Choose Me? Exam-Focused Strategy: I don't just teach the syllabus; I teach the mark scheme. I have a proven track record of moving students from "struggling" to "A/A*" by mastering exam techniques and time management. Expert Adaptability: Having studied in multiple countries, I adapt my teaching style to the students’ unique pace. Whether it’s an intensive "crash course" for upcoming GCSEs or long-term support to build confidence, I tailor every session. The "Insider" Edge: As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer with a background in business, I pair my understanding of complex STEM subjects with clear communication and structured study plans. I bridge the gap between rigorous academic theories and "fun," relatable learning. Experience Across the Board: With 5 years of professional tutoring and 8 years of volunteering, I’ve worked with all ages—from primary foundations to high-stakes secondary exams. My Philosophy I believe that "learning should be fun," but I also know that results build confidence. My goal is to remove the fear of the subject and replace it with a passion for improvement. Whether your child needs a rigorous, fast-paced review for their upcoming GCSEs or patient, long-term support to overcome their academic anxieties, I have the tools and the experience to get them there. Education: Dual Degrees in Engineering & Business I hold degrees in both Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Business Administration. This unique combination pairs the deep, analytical rigor required for advanced mathematics and physics with the strategic communication and organizational skills of a business background. My academic journey has been highly international, allowing me to study, collaborate, and teach across different cultures and educational frameworks. This global exposure has made me highly adaptable, enabling me to seamlessly navigate the UK curriculum while bringing an innovative, well-rounded approach to problem-solving. I speak multiple languages and pride myself on connecting easily with students from all backgrounds, turning complex subjects into clear, manageable strategies for success.
