Karen M.

Hello! I’m Harshini Mahesh Kumar—a passionate educator with a strong academic foundation in Molecular Biotechnology and a rich background in STEM teaching and tutoring. I bring together the precision of science and the art of education to create a meaningful and results-driven learning experience for every student I work with. With years of experience tutoring Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at both GCSE and A-Level, I specialize in designing personalized learning strategies that cater to each student’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach is student-centered and results-focused—fostering not just subject mastery, but also long-term academic confidence. My scientific training adds depth to my teaching, allowing me to highlight real-world applications and encourage analytical thinking. Whether we’re exploring the laws of motion or the intricacies of the cell, I aim to bring each topic to life in a way that is accessible, engaging, and intellectually stimulating. What drives me most is the belief that every student has untapped potential. I strive to create a supportive, motivating, and inspiring environment where learners feel empowered to ask questions, take risks, and truly grow. I continuously seek out innovative teaching tools and methods to keep lessons dynamic and impactful. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring tutor to help you or your child excel in STEM subjects, I’d be delighted to support that journey. Let’s make learning a truly empowering experience! I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Hertfordshire (2021–2022), where I developed an in-depth understanding of molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and protein science. My academic journey was complemented by extensive hands-on experience in research methods, laboratory techniques, and bioinformatics. I also gained exposure to cutting-edge technologies, including recombinant DNA technology, next-generation sequencing, and genomics—preparing me to contribute meaningfully to the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology. Prior to my master’s, I earned a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Biotechnology from Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering & Technology, graduating in 2021. This program laid a strong foundation in biotechnological principles, computational tools, and analytical techniques. Through research projects and practical labs, I cultivated problem-solving skills and a passion for innovation in life sciences. Currently, I serve as a freelance Scientific Assistant at Protlab GPL Limited, where I assist in research, data collection, analysis, and report writing under the guidance of senior scientists. Alongside this, I actively tutor students in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and English through platforms like Tutor Cambridge and freelance services. I specialize in personalized, interactive online lessons that adapt to each learner’s needs and pace. Beyond the sciences, I’ve also contributed in marketing and consultancy roles at Global Trade Fairs, where I led strategic campaigns, promoted global exhibitions, and provided digital marketing solutions to international clients. My journey has also included enriching internships in research, lab management, and clinical settings. Projects such as my study on chick embryo development and work on phytoremediation reflect my ability to conduct independent research and think critically. Passionate about both science and education, I continue to grow as a researcher, mentor, and educator—committed to making a lasting impact through innovation and learning.

Levels and subjects I teach: GCSE: Maths A Level: Maths, Biology Exam Board Experience: Further Maths - Edexcel Maths - Edexcel Chemistry - AQA Biology - AQA Language: English Preferred Student age group: GCSE & A-level Hi, my name is Michael. I am a friendly, patient and determined tutor. I recently finished my A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths. I believe that this experience puts me in a great position to share my knowledge to help other students because I know what is needed in order to excel in these subjects. I always like to focus on what you as a student need help with to ensure that you get the most out of every lesson, and spend as much time making progress as possible I would describe myself as methodical and systematic and I think my teaching style reflects this. First, I like to ensure that there is an understanding of the key principles of the topic. Then I like to break questions down and look at the key steps in the method for that question type. I think that repetition is extremely important and the key to mastering a particular topic is encountering as many different variations of questions as possible. So this is what I will encourage. I have previous experience teaching other students from my school A-level maths concepts which they struggled with. While preparing for A-levels I created some resources that enabled me to achieve 4 A*s in the subjects above and have helped other students. I would be happy to share these and other strategies I used in preparation for exams. Outside of academics, I am a relaxed person and enjoy a wide range of sports, my favourites being football and basketball. I also enjoy reading and spending time with family. Feel free to message me with any questions.
