Yasen

Hello, learners and parents! I’m an enthusiastic Computer Science undergraduate at Kingston University, bringing to the table a rich blend of academic excellence and practical tutoring experience, especially in STEM subjects.

My strength lies in tutoring students from KS3 to A Level, particularly in Mathematics, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Over the years, I’ve perfected exam-based strategies, having served as both an NTP Online A Level/GCSE Tutor and an A Level/GCSE tutor for Tutorcoach.co.uk. My tailored approach has transformed the academic journeys of numerous students, especially those from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

Dive a bit deeper into my background and you’ll find a Level 4 qualification in Applied Pharmaceutical Sciences from Kingston University. This not only equips me with a robust understanding of Biology and Chemistry but also ensures that I bring a practical perspective to theoretical concepts.

Beyond traditional subjects, my expertise stretches into the realms of software development with skills in Ruby on Rails, Java, and Python. This unique blend empowers me to show students the real-world applications of what they’re learning, making abstract concepts more tangible.

Whether your aim is to deepen understanding, boost grades, or perfect exam techniques, I’m committed to guiding you every step of the way. Let’s forge a path to your academic success together!

Tutoring Approach

Tailored Approach: My teaching mantra revolves around understanding the individual. I consistently demonstrate this by designing personalized lesson plans tailored to each student’s learning curve. This ensures that complex topics are broken down into digestible segments, making learning an engaging and rewarding experience.

Engagement Through Resources: I believe that diverse learning tools can dramatically enhance student engagement. By incorporating varied resources like videos, quizzes, and diagrams into my teaching repertoire, I consistently ensure that students remain intrigued and active in their learning journey.

Collaborative Communication: One of my pivotal approaches has been fostering an environment of transparent communication. By initiating regular discussions with students, parents, and teachers, I create a feedback loop that identifies areas of improvement and celebrates successes, making the entire educational process a collaborative effort.
