Hi! I’m Riley Vaz, and I’m here to show you that math is more than just numbers on a page, it’s a puzzle waiting to be solved! I love finding creative ways to make lessons click, using real-world examples and fun activities to build your confidence. I hold a degree in Mathematics Education, which basically means I’ve spent years learning the best ways to make math easy for everyone. My training helps me simplify tricky topics and create a classroom where you feel supported, heard, and ready to succeed.

I am very enthusiastic about Maths and the Sciences. Having just finished my A Levels studying Biology, Physics, and Mathematics at A Level; I understand the challenges students face when learning these subjects and enjoy helping others build confidence and improve their understanding. I aim to make learning engaging and accessible for every student. I recently completed my A Levels at Queen Anne's School, Reading, where I studied Biology, Physics, and Mathematics. I've had a strong interest in science, sport and problem-solving since I started secondary school, which has inspired me to pursue a degree in Sports and Exercise Science at university. Prior to that, I completed my GCSEs at King's Academy Prospect, Reading, achieving good results across all subjects, including Maths and the Sciences. During school, I enjoyed helping classmates with revision, which sparked my interest in tutoring. My recent experience with the current curriculum gives me insight into how students can succeed both academically and confidently

I’m a first-year medical student at UCL, and I studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-level (plus an EPQ), achieving 4 A*s, as well as all A*s at GCSE. I know how challenging these subjects can feel, so I aim to make things clearer and less overwhelming. In my lessons, I focus on helping students actually understand the content rather than just memorising it. I like to break topics down into simple steps and explain things in a way that makes sense for you. I also help with exam technique, so you know how to use what you’ve learned to get the best grades. I completed my secondary education at Colchester County High School for Girls (CCHSG), a selective grammar school, where I studied from Year 7 through to Year 13. During this time, I achieved all A*s at GCSE and went on to take A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, alongside an EPQ, achieving 4 A*s. This gave me a strong academic foundation, particularly in the sciences and maths. I am currently a first-year medical student at University College London, where I continue to build on my knowledge of Biology and Chemistry in much greater depth, as well as applying problem-solving and analytical skills developed through Maths. For tutoring, I specialise in GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Having gone through these exams myself, I understand both the content and the exam techniques needed to achieve top grades, and I’m familiar with common areas students struggle with.

I am a 5th Year Medical Student and have been teaching for many years, I got accepted into grammar and have dedicated many hours to learning and passing on my knowledge. I teach 11+ and have proven methods on understanding the logic and ways to solve the questions. In addition I tutor Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Science, Geography and Maths. I have a keen interest in playing instrumets, learning a new language, keeping active and am currently a co-author on a pending paper to be published in the medical/surgical field. I also have a huge interest in assisting / tutoring students in order for them to achieve the best results possible. Be the best you can be and contact me for a fun and highly educational lesson. I completed my GCSE Equivalent in 2009 with all subjects taken at higher level. I completed Premedical science in 2015, I completed my BSc in Biomedical Science - involving in depth study of Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Physics. I completed my Postgraduate certificate in Public health. I am currently in 5th Year of studying Medicine.
