Hi! I’m Amarachi, a Chemical Engineering student at the University of Nottingham. I teach maths and chemistry, and I’m passionate about making these subjects engaging and easy to understand. As a patient, adaptable, and enthusiastic tutor, I enjoy helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and practicing taekwondo, and I always appreciate getting to know my students' interests as well. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Chemical Engineering at the University of Nottingham. At A level, I achieved grades A in Chemistry, Physics, and Maths, and at GCSE, I earned grades 8–9 in Triple Science, Maths, French and English Literature and Language. I have a strong understanding of the AQA, Pearson Edexcel, and OCR exam boards for both GCSE and A level.

As every student deserves the chance to feel confident and heard, I work with them step by step to tackle tricky ideas together and further solidify their understanding. Learning can be clear and rewarding as long as that student is given the chance to find the method and schedule that works for them! I completed my GCSE's at Maria Fidelis Catholic FCJ school in 2023/24. Achieving Maths (7), English (8), Chemistry (7). I have actually just sat my A-levels at Trinity Catholic High school where I am predicted A*AA in Mathematics, Chemistry and Psychology.

Najib Samaha — Mathematics & Physics Tutor I’m Najib Samaha, a passionate and dedicated tutor with a Master’s Degree in Mathematics and experience teaching students across a wide range of academic levels. Subjects Mathematics: Primary Level to A Level Physics: Primary Level to GCSE Level Exam Boards AQA Edexcel Irish Curriculum Languages English French Teaching Approach I focus on building strong fundamentals, developing problem-solving skills, and helping students gain confidence in their subjects. My lessons are adapted to each student’s level, learning style, and academic goals, with an emphasis on clear explanations and practical exam preparation. Interests Outside tutoring, I enjoy football, basketball, gaming, fitness, and bodybuilding. My Teaching Approach I’m an expert in Mathematics and Physics, and I believe that learning should be both effective and enjoyable. My goal is to make every lesson engaging, interactive, and exciting while ensuring that students genuinely understand the material rather than simply memorizing it. I’m a naturally energetic and patient tutor, and I rely heavily on these qualities throughout my lessons. My energy helps keep students engaged, motivated, and interested in the material, while my patience allows each student to learn at their own pace in a comfortable and supportive environment. I make sure to adapt my teaching style to each student’s individual needs and level of understanding. Whether a student is struggling with the basics, preparing for an important exam, or aiming to achieve higher grades, I work with them step by step to build their confidence and strengthen their problem-solving skills. My aim is not only to help students improve academically, but also to help them enjoy the learning process, develop confidence in their abilities, and achieve their full potential.

Hi, I’m Maja! (Pronounced Maya). I’m an astrophysics graduate and a qualified secondary school science teacher. I’ve been through the full rollercoaster of science education, from fighting my way through a master’s degree and emerging with first-class honours, to teaching Year 9s on a Friday afternoon who would rather be anywhere else. Now I help GCSE and A-Level students believe what I already know: you can do this. My goal is to make science feel understandable, interesting, and even a bit fun. When I’m not teaching, you'll find me hanging upside down on an aerial hoop, or writing stories inspired by science and folklore. I went to secondary school in Hungary, where I was initially more interested in the humanities, until I fell in love with space and modern physics. For my leaving qualifications, I completed Advanced Exams in Mathematics and Physics and achieved an A. At university, I completed an integrated Master of Physics degree at the University of Southampton. My first three years focused on general physics (including lab work, mechanics, quantum physics, solid state physics, and wave physics) with a few modules of astronomy. During my master’s year, I had the incredible opportunity to conduct research at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where I studied the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies and wrote my thesis on this topic. I graduated with first-class honours in Astrophysics. After university, I felt drawn to education and wanted to help students grasp the beauty of science, so I completed a year of school-centred initial teacher training. I now hold a PGCE with QTS as a qualified science teacher.
