Hi, I'm Ankita. I am a 4th-year medical student with a strong interest in tutoring GCSE Biology and Chemistry. My main goal is to help students understand difficult concepts by breaking them down into simpler, clearer steps. I aim to create a supportive, engaging environment where students can ask questions comfortably. I believe being patient and making learning fun and interactive can help students achieve their best! Outside of academics, I enjoy watching films, reading and learning new hobbies such as knitting and crocheting! I have achieved 10 GCSEs and completed my A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science, with an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). I then studied Medical Genetics at the University of Leicester and earned a higher education certificate, and currently, I am a 4th-year medical student.

I am an experienced Mathematics and Chemistry tutor with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Education in Mathematics Education from the University of Cambridge. I have taught and tutored students across 11 Plus, GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level and IB Mathematics, as well as Chemistry. My teaching style is warm, patient, structured and adaptable. I enjoy helping students build confidence, close gaps in understanding, strengthen problem-solving skills and prepare effectively for exams. I also enjoy working with high-achieving students who need stretch and challenge. I support them in developing deeper mathematical thinking, tackling complex problems and aiming for the highest grades. Alongside this, I have experience supporting students with additional needs, including dyslexia, ADHD and processing difficulties, by breaking topics down clearly and using strategies that suit each learner. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, travelling, creative projects, faith-based activities and spending time with family and friends. I am an experienced Mathematics and Chemistry tutor with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Education in Mathematics Education from the University of Cambridge. Throughout my teaching career, I have held several mathematics leadership roles. I have served as an IB Mathematics Lead at high school level, while also leading the Middle School IB Mathematics programme. Prior to this, I was a Key Stage 4 GCSE Mathematics Lead, where I led and supported a team of 22 mathematics teachers. I have also worked as a Mathematics Teacher and Intervention Lead, supporting students through targeted intervention, exam preparation and confidence-building. I have experience teaching and tutoring 11 Plus, GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level and IB Mathematics, as well as Chemistry. I have also worked as a Pearson Edexcel Mathematics examiner, which has strengthened my understanding of assessment standards, mark schemes and exam technique. In addition to classroom teaching, I have built and developed mathematics curricula, designed assessments, managed teachers, supported departmental planning and prepared my own classes for external examinations. I have been fortunate to contribute to consistently strong exam outcomes across the schools and classes I have led. My teaching style is warm, structured and adaptable. I support high-achieving students who need stretch and challenge, as well as students with additional needs such as dyslexia, ADHD and processing difficulties. My aim is always to help students build confidence, deepen understanding and make excellent progress.

As an ambitious and creative individual, I love sport and theatre and I am currently studying on a musical theatre foundation year at Italia Conti!

Previous teaching experience: Explore At Home, Holtspur Primary School

--- About Me! --- I'm Danny, a 4th year physicist at the University of Edinburgh, currently undergoing a research year abroad working on a thesis at GSI/FAIR, a facility for high energy physics. My work involves a lot of programming, knowledge of physics, and application of engineering and design principles. I love inspiring others and talking about my subject, so any student who comes my way will hopefully leave feeling confident, ready for common exam questions, and most importantly, wanting to learn more beyond their curriculum. I play the violin to a diploma standard, love trying out new cooking recipes (sometimes with disastrous consequences), and really enjoy mountain sports, like climbing and hiking. --- My Education --- As mentioned above, I am a physicist at the University of Edinburgh on a year in industry at GSI. I am working on the upcoming DIRC particle detectors for the PANDA project and the EIC at Brookhaven (google these things, in my opinion they are very cool). This research of course involves knowing a bunch about programming, mathematics and physics! I achieved 4 A* grades at A-Level, in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Music, with the WJEC exam board. For these grades, I abused my poor printer, drilling past paper questions endlessly, so I am very familiar with this specific curriculum. However, mathematics and physics are very similar across all exam boards. There are common questions in every exam, and your child will become familiar and confident with these questions with me, ideally able to reproduce 'stock answers' with a high level of understanding and speed. This saves time in exams and guarantees easy marks; this is a major step in reducing exam anxiety, and one of the main strategies I used to achieve my marks. I taught a STEM program at a US summer camp. It was much more of a 'for fun' thing, so we focused on making classes lightweight and enjoyable, rather than drilling worksheets and past paper questions. As such, I won't exclusively bore tutees to death with math problems! I pride myself on being able to break down concepts into simple to understand analogies. I am also a huge advocate for using past questions as revision material. However, I recognise the importance for students to balance time spent on questions with going over textbook concepts.
