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.

Hello! I’m Naomi, and I’ve been helping students fall in love with maths for over seven years.

My teaching style is patient, personalised, and positive. Whether you're just starting out, preparing for your GCSEs, or need a confidence boost, I’m here to guide you with clarity and encouragement. Why I Love Teaching: I’ve seen firsthand how the right support can transform a student’s relationship with learning. At Kumon, I worked with students aged 4 to GCSE level, both in-person and online, and nothing beats the moment a tricky concept finally clicks. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space where questions are welcome, mistakes are part of the journey, and growth is always within reach. What to Expect in My Lessons: Personalised learning plans tailored to your goals and pace Clear, step-by-step explanations using visual aids and real-life examples Interactive and engaging sessions via Zoom with digital tools Regular feedback and progress tracking so you always know how you’re improving A Little More About Me: When I’m not tutoring, you might find me playing piano (I have Grade 8 distinction!), exploring new hobbies, or cheering on my students as they achieve their personal bests - in maths and beyond. I can’t wait to help you build confidence, master new skills, and achieve your maths goals! I attended the University of Exeter, where I completed a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in Economics and Politics, graduating with a 2:1 classification. My academic background provided me with strong analytical and quantitative skills, which form a solid foundation for teaching mathematics and reasoning-based subjects. Additionally, I hold professional competencies in curriculum delivery, student assessment, and adaptive teaching strategies, which I apply to create engaging and effective learning experiences tailored to each student's needs and goals.

I am a third-year undergraduate student studying Psychology and Sociology, with a genuine passion for supporting young people in reaching their potential. I have hands-on tutoring experience across Psychology, Maths, Biology, and English, working with children who required additional socioeconomic and special educational support. Alongside this, I work as a Residential Support Worker with children with special needs, giving me a strong understanding of diverse learning needs and how to adapt my approach accordingly. I completed the IB Diploma with Higher Level subjects in Psychology, Politics, and English, and hold a full suite of GCSEs, providing me with a solid academic foundation across a wide range of subjects. Within my university, I serve as User Experience Officer at the Undergraduate Psychology Association, reflecting my commitment to student welfare and development. I am a native English and Swedish speaker, patient, empathetic, and dedicated to making learning accessible and enjoyable for every student. Outside of academics, I play netball, piano and love reading classic and historical fiction, which keeps me curious and engaged; qualities I bring into every tutoring session. I completed 10 GCSEs, achieving all A's and 9's, at Dulwich International School Singapore in 2022. I went on to complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma in 2024, finishing with a score of 36. My Higher Level subjects were Psychology, Global Politics, and English Language and Literature, in which I achieved 6's across the board, alongside a 6 in SL Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches, and 5's in SL Spanish and SL Biology. I am currently in my second year of a Master of Arts (BSc) in Psychology and Sociology at the University of Edinburgh, where I am due to graduate in 2028. Alongside my studies, I serve as User Experience Officer for the Undergraduate Psychology Association, where I work to improve the student experience within the department. In addition to my formal degree, I have pursued a number of enriching academic opportunities. In 2023, I completed a one-week Psychology Summer Course at King's College London, where I studied and debated topics including the DSM-V, Terror Management Theory and the Mortality Salience Hypothesis, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and Need-to-Belong Theory. That same year, I completed a Mental Health Warrior Awareness Training Course, a one-day programme focused on building awareness of the daily challenges associated with mental health disorders, including those that are often invisible or overlooked. In 2024, I also attended the INSEAD Business Summer School, broadening my understanding of leadership, strategy, and the intersection of business and human behaviour.
