Anum

My name is Anum and I am currently a neuroscience student at King's College London. I am a motivated individual who strives to maximise academic productivity and efficiency. Academically, I have received 8s and 9s in my GCSE (I was the only one in my school got a Grade 9 in Religious Studies!) and A*A*A* at A level in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. I come from a family of teachers - my parents have been teaching for more than 30 years, and I have seen the various techniques they have adopted to make their students succeed.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching for the past 3 years, and have experience dealing with students of all abilities in the following subjects in both in-person and online lessons:

  1. A level/ IB SL/HL in Biology, Chemistry & Maths
  2. GCSE: Maths, English (Literature & Language), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Religious Studies
  3. 9+/11+/13+/ISEB exam prep
  4. University entrance exam or interview prep - e.g UCAT and GMAT
  5. Personal Statement and UCAS process guidance

I have been a teaching assistant at a state school in North West London, where I gave one-to-one support to individuals with Special Educational Needs (SEN), such as Dyslexia, Autism, ADHD, Social & Emotional Needs. During my time at school, I also helped run Speech & Language therapy sessions for students as well as spelling/exercises clubs.

In addition to this, I have expertise in teaching people with a physical disability such as visual impairment. I have been trained to teach Mathematics, Science and English at KS3 & KS4 level using both braille and print. My experiences working as a Teaching Assistant allowed me to develop confidence in modifying my approach to teach students of all abilities and needs. Furthermore, I have provided 1-1 services to students from a variety of schools in London, such as...

St Paul's School
University College School
Wetherby School
Francis Holland School
Queen's College
The Westminster School
Godolphin & Latymer School
Latymer Upper School
North London Collegiate Schools
Mill Hill School
St Helen's School

and many more...

Tutoring Approach

My main aim is not only to make a student excel in the subject, but also to help you develop further interest and enjoy the process of learning. Being a student myself, I have extensive knowledge of the techniques that work - and those that don't, as well as common pitfalls.
Some techniques I recommend to revise:

  1. Pomodoro technique - studying for scheduled timings with regular breaks
  2. Spaced Repetition and Active recall - Going over topics & notes multiple times to maintain memory levels
  3. Colour-coded notes, Mind Mapping, Blurting

Each student has a preference for the technique they use. Personally, I use pomodoro studying methodology as it allows you to train your brain for extensive periods of time. I work with students to help them develop competence in the topic as well as identify the studying technique that works best for them.
