Hi! My name's Rebecca, and I am a soon-to-be PhD Student, specialising in computational chemistry. I have just finished an integrated master's in Natural Sciences at Cambridge, meaning I've studied Physics and Chemistry at a university level. I have experience supporting university admissions, where I volunteered on open days, school visits, and summer schools throughout my undergraduate studies. A big part of this was small group teaching of year 12s, where we started at A-level content and developed to first-year undergraduate topics. I have also worked as a mentor on Cambridge's STEM SMART programme for Year 12 students. This widening participation program focused on pastoral support for students from low-income backgrounds looking to apply to top universities in the STEM subjects. I am a tutor because I love teaching just as much as I love science, but also because the current A-level system doesn't show you how valuable the knowledge you learn is to the field. I am hoping that together, we'll not only get the grade you want but that I'll also help you appreciate how important the things you learn are in the world of science! My tutoring style focuses on visual learning and understanding the basics rather than relying on memorisation. I focus on helping you grasp the core principles and building up from there. When you truly understand the fundamentals, you can confidently approach any question because you know how it all fits together. Understanding is only one part of the process; practice makes perfect. We'll also focus on exam technique, specifically what the examiners from your exam board want from you and how best to approach the exam. In my spare time, I love to cook, paint and sew! I currently tutor Maths GCSE and A-level. I do not tutor 11+ or SATs. ----------------- I’ve always loved maths and science. I took two additional maths qualifications during my GCSEs and regularly competed in UKMT challenges. At A-level, I studied Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics, which is where I realised my real passion lay in the physical sciences. I went on to study Natural Sciences at Cambridge, a broad and rigorous course that allowed me to explore a wide range of scientific subjects before specialising. I took Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, and Applied Maths in my first year. In second year, I continued with Chemistry and also studied the History and Philosophy of Science (a bit of a wildcard choice, but one I found genuinely fascinating). I eventually specialised in Chemistry, focusing mainly on theoretical and quantum chemistry, a field that merges the logical structure of physics with the molecular insight of chemistry. I graduated with a 2.1 in my undergraduate degree and decided to stay on for a fourth year to complete my integrated Master’s. My final-year research was in computational chemistry, where I simulated how proteins behave under different conditions. This work sat at the interface of chemistry, physics, and biology, allowing me to apply concepts from across the sciences. It was fully computer-based (a massive plus - I’ve never been a fan of lab work!) and I was proud to finish the year with a First. I loved the experience so much that I wasn’t quite ready to leave academia. I’m now about to begin a PhD at King’s College London, researching novel bio-based materials (ideally with minimal time spent in the lab)! My undergraduate journey wasn’t without challenges. Cambridge is tough, and I was diagnosed with dyslexia after receiving unexpectedly low marks in my first-year exams. My performance steadily improved as I learned how to work with my learning style. I’ve always been a visual and hands-on learner, which likely explains why Chemistry felt so natural to me. My academic ups and downs have deeply influenced how I approach tutoring - I understand what it’s like to struggle despite working hard, and empathy helps me support my students more effectively. I believe that learning should be about building accurate understanding, not just memorising facts, and I strive to make that a reality in every session I teach.

I am a graduate entry medical student with a deep passion for science, how the body works and the connection between different systems. When I'm not studying and learning, I love to read, play sims and watch Law and Order! As a tutor, I hope I can help inspire a love for science and help learning become as enjoyable as I find it! I'm currently in my first year of graduate entry medicine at King's College London Branch Campus. I attained a First Class in Biomedical Science from the University of Brighton. I received my A levels certifications in Bellerbys College Brighton in subjects Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. I received a distinction in my IGCSEs at Greensprings School Lagos with subjects including Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I have a certification from the Brighton and Sussex Virtual Work Experience and I have done an internship at Chevron Corporation Limited, Lagos. I am currently doing an online Pfizer virtual work experience in tandem with my degree.

Hello! I’m Deepa Bhatt, a passionate mathematics tutor with over 7 years of experience in helping A-level students build strong foundations, boost their confidence, and achieve academic success. With a deep appreciation for the logic and beauty of mathematics, I focus on making math both engaging and meaningful. My teaching style emphasizes understanding over memorization, allowing students to grasp core concepts and retain them in the long term. I believe that math shouldn’t be feared—it should be understood. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they’ve missed key foundational concepts or can’t see the relevance of what they’re learning. In my sessions, I work to: -Bridge knowledge gaps -Connect math to real-life applications -Encourage curiosity and a research-oriented mindset -Adapt to each student's pace and style -Keep lessons interactive, supportive, and goal-oriented The beauty of one-on-one tutoring lies in its personalization. Every student gets my full attention, and lessons are tailored specifically to their needs—whether that’s mastering core algebra, tackling calculus, or preparing for exams. Students are more engaged when they feel heard, supported, and understood. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading books and writing poetry, and I make time for morning walks and badminton as part of my active lifestyle. I find that these interests help me bring a well-rounded, calm, and creative energy into every session. If you're an A-level student looking to truly understand math—not just get through it—I’d love to work with you. Together, we’ll make math less intimidating and more enjoyable. I hold a Master’s degree in Physics and Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi and a Bachelor’s degree from Miranda House, Delhi University—two of India’s most prestigious institutions. Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently pursued excellence, qualifying several competitive national-level entrance examinations such as JAM and GATE with commendable ranks. My passion for teaching was cultivated alongside my studies and has grown stronger over the years. Over the past seven years, I have gained extensive experience as a tutor, working with both individual students and tutoring startups. This has provided me with valuable insight into diverse learning styles and academic needs. My approach to teaching is rooted in flexibility and empathy. I have had the opportunity to work with students of varying temperaments and academic backgrounds, and I pride myself on my ability to adapt my instructional methods accordingly. I strive to make complex topics accessible, foster independent thinking, and support long-term academic growth. My goal is to make mathematics not only understandable but also enjoyable for every learner I work with.

Hi! I'm Connor and I am studying Physics at university! At uni my favorite topic is space and galaxies. In my spare time I work on old cars and do astrophotography. I am dyslexic, so I understand that different people have different approaches to learning and that there is no single correct way to go about it! I enjoy learning and would like to share my passion with others :). I am currently attending the university of Liverpool studying Physics going into my third year of undergraduate study aiming to complete an integrated masters and hopefully move on to a PHD. so far over both year one and two I have averaged a first class degree whilst still maintaining my hobbies and a job on the weekends. I completed A levels in maths, further maths and physics.
