Zakariye

Experienced Physics and Maths Tutor | Data-Driven Approach to Excellence

I am a dedicated and passionate tutor with over six years of experience helping students excel in physics and mathematics at both GCSE and A-Level. Having earned a BSc in Physics from King’s College London with a 2:1, I possess a deep understanding of the curriculum and the skills required for academic success. My expertise spans a variety of teaching methods, tailored to each student's needs, ensuring that every lesson is engaging, effective, and enjoyable.

Tutoring Experience

During my time as an A-Level Physics tutor, I developed innovative teaching strategies that combine technology and traditional methods to enhance learning outcomes. For example, I created an educational software solution that uses active recall and data-driven analysis to personalise study schedules. This approach has consistently resulted in students achieving at least a one-grade improvement.

Beyond academic results, I strive to empower my students to become better learners. I focus not only on eliminating barriers to understanding but also on equipping students with tools to excel independently. I use a variety of learning techniques, such as the Feynman Technique and active recall, to simplify complex concepts and reinforce retention. By leveraging these methods, I ensure that my students not only excel in exams but also develop lifelong learning habits.

I also have experience leading teams of instructors, collaborating to refine teaching methodologies and ensure consistent academic improvement. My passion for teaching physics and mathematics extends beyond the classroom, as I continually explore creative ways to inspire students to see the beauty in problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in a personalised and structured approach to tutoring. Every student is unique, so I work closely with them to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. I use a mix of resources, including textbooks, custom-made materials, and interactive tools, to keep lessons engaging. My focus is not just on helping students achieve top grades but also on fostering a deep understanding of the subject, which will serve them well in future academic and professional pursuits.

Homework and review play a crucial role in my teaching. I assign tasks that reinforce lessons, and together, we work through areas where students need further support. My ultimate goal is to ensure students feel confident and prepared, whether they're tackling a challenging exam or exploring new concepts.
