Hello! I’m Zahra Ayyaz. I am an experienced educator with an MBA and over 8 years of teaching experience across schools, academies, and online platforms. My passion lies in empowering students through interactive and engaging learning methods, ensuring they not only grasp concepts but also develop critical thinking skills. Subjects I Teach: Lower Level: Maths, English GCSE: English, Maths, Biology, World History, Sociology, Business A-Level (IB): English, World History, Sociology, Business Higher Level: English, History, Business Core Subjects: English | History | Business Exam Board Experience: Pearson Edexcel, AQA, OCR, Cambridge, International Baccalaureate (IB) SEND (Special Education Needs and Disability) Experience: I have extensive experience working with students with Autism, Down syndrome, and ADHD, tailoring my teaching strategies to accommodate their unique learning needs. My approach focuses on patience, adaptability, and encouragement, ensuring that every student feels supported and confident in their academic journey. My Teaching Philosophy: I believe education is more than just acquiring knowledge—it's about building confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for learning. Whether it’s analyzing literature, exploring historical perspectives, or understanding business dynamics, I strive to make lessons engaging, thought-provoking, and relevant to real-world scenarios. Beyond teaching, I am passionate about fitness, yoga, and socializing. I strongly believe that physical and mental well-being go hand in hand, and a balanced lifestyle contributes to clearer thinking and better decision-making. Welcome aboard! Let’s make learning an exciting and enriching experience. 😊 I have a strong academic foundation with a focus on business, finance, and social sciences, shaping my ability to teach with depth and real-world application. GCSE (2013): Included Biology A-Levels (2015): Business and Social Sciences Bachelor’s Degree: Double majors in Marketing and Finance MBA: Specializing in business strategy, leadership, and financial analysis Teaching Experience My teaching journey began during my bachelor’s studies, where I worked as a teaching assistant and provided private tuition in English, Maths, Biology, Business, and History. I then formally entered the education sector, teaching at schools, academies, and online platforms, with a focus on my core subjects: English – Strengthening analytical, writing, and communication skills Business – Connecting business theories to real-world applications History – Encouraging critical thinking and historical analysis With 8+ years of experience, I specialize in student-centered learning, exam strategies, and fostering critical thinking. My goal is to empower students with knowledge and confidence, preparing them for both academic success and real-world challenges.

I'm a Mathematics and Data Science graduate of the London School of Economics, and I now run a startup that uses machine learning in drug discovery, so I put the maths I teach to work every day. I studied Maths, Physics, Computer Science and Chemistry at A-level, earning an A* in Maths, and I'm a two-time gold medallist in the National Physics Olympiad. I tutor Maths, Physics and Computer Science from GCSE through A-level, and I also prepare students for university admissions tests and Oxbridge applications. Having recently sat these exams myself, I know exactly where students get stuck. My approach is patient and diagnostic: I find the gap, rebuild from there, and focus on real understanding and problem-solving rather than memorising. Most of all, I love helping students go from dreading a subject to feeling confident and capable in it. I attended St Paul's School, where I took A-levels in Mathematics (A*), Physics (A), Computer Science (A) and Chemistry (A), along with an A* EPQ in electrical and systems engineering. At GCSE I earned seven grade 9s, including Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science, and four grade 8s. I then studied for a BSc in Mathematics and Data Science at the London School of Economics (LSE), with coursework spanning machine learning, optimisation, real and complex analysis, probability and statistics, graph theory and algorithms. Alongside my degree I completed Harvard's CS50 and an MIT course in mathematics for finance. My specialisations are Maths, Physics and Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, and preparing students for university admissions tests (STEP, TMUA and ESAT) and Oxbridge applications. I'm also a two-time gold medallist in the National Physics Olympiad, which is exactly the kind of problem-solving these entrance exams reward.

Hello! I'm Khadijah, a dedicated and hardworking medical student with extensive experience tutoring KS2, KS3, and A-Level students. I'm passionate about helping each student reach their full potential by providing patient, supportive, and tailored guidance. Teaching is something I truly love, and I aim to pursue careers in both healthcare and education. My tutoring sessions are customized to suit each student's individual needs, with a strong focus on exam preparation (SATs, GCSEs, and A-Levels) and real-world application of concepts. I strive to make learning both enjoyable and rewarding, building a love for the subject while ensuring academic progress. I specialize in one-to-one and small group tutoring (4–7 students) and have a proven track record of helping students improve their grades and deepen their understanding. My interactive, engaging teaching style builds confidence, sharpens skills, and adapts to diverse learning styles, whether that is written, visual, or hands-on. I hold a Bachelor of Medical Sciences with Honours and am currently in my fifth year of medical school. I also support students with personal statements and interview preparation. Key Highlights • Proven success improving grades and understanding • Personalised, student-centred tutoring approach • Interactive and enjoyable learning environment • Strong focus on exam preparation • Emphasis on real-life applications Availability Weekdays after 3:00 PM & weekends (by arrangement) Let’s work together to achieve your goals and unlock your full potential! I am currently studying for my MD at the UoN. I previously completed a Bachelor of Medical Sciences with Honours (Cum Laude). For my A-Levels, I attended De Lisle College. I’m also certified in Emergency First Aid at Work through the British Red Cross and was awarded a Bronze Certificate in the 53rd UK Chemistry Olympiad.

Hi! I’m a multilingual Chemical Engineering student at the University of Edinburgh. I teach Spanish, English, Maths and Chemistry, adapting each lesson to the student’s level, goals and learning style. I focus on clear explanations, practical examples and interactive exercises to help students build confidence, improve their understanding and make steady progress. I am patient, approachable and happy to support both schoolwork and exam preparation. I am currently studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, where my degree combines advanced Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, programming and engineering problem-solving. Before university, I completed secondary education (Spanish Baccalaureate) in Spain following a scientific curriculum. I also spent an academic year abroad in New York, which strengthened my English, independence and ability to adapt to an international learning environment. I hold a Cambridge C2 qualification in English and am fully fluent in Spanish, English, and Catalan, allowing me to support students confidently in these languages as well as in STEM subjects.
