Xiangkun

I am a friendly, approachable tutor in the UK who supports students studying GCSE science and maths by covering specification content, practicing exam questions, and developing effective revision strategies.
I have a deep passion for science and maths, and I love the challenge of solving difficult problems that come alongside the study of STEM subjects. Throughout my education, I have achieved top grades, thanks in part to my enthusiasm for these subjects and my use of strategic study and revision techniques. I attained a grade 9 for each of GCSE physics, chemistry, biology, and maths, and for my A-Levels, I studied physics, chemistry, biology, and maths, for which I achieved an A* for all four of those subjects. I enjoy tutoring students and find fulfilment in seeing students excel in areas I am passionate about. While science and maths can be challenging, I believe that with the right study strategies, anyone can succeed. My goal is to make these subjects engaging and rewarding for every student.

Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring GCSE physics, chemistry, biology, and maths alongside my own studies for almost 2 years, mainly engaging in online tutoring sessions. I have also done tutoring for A-Level physics. AQA was the exam board for my studies; however, I am familiar with the specification of the other common exam boards, including Edexcel and OCR.

Tutoring Approach

Before beginning tutoring with me, I offer a free first lesson to discuss and assess your educational needs so that I may plan tailored lessons for when our tutoring begins. My online tutoring sessions are very interactive, as I utilise web-based interactive whiteboards, which both my student and myself can use simultaneously. When teaching specification content, I use self-prepared resources to explain a topic, with questions to test understanding. I use spaced repetition while delivering content to maximise retention in long-term memory and to increase the efficiency of learning.
