Hello! I’m Xin — a friendly and effective tutor with a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from the University of Manchester. I specialise in Maths, Physics, Further Maths, and Chemistry at GCSE, A-Level, and university level.

With over 6 years of experience, I’ve helped students improve their grades, build confidence, and secure places at top schools and universities. My lessons are clear, structured and supportive — always tailored to each student’s goals and learning style.

If you’re looking for a highly qualified tutor who explains complex ideas in simple ways and truly cares about your progress, I’d be delighted to support your learning journey.

Tutoring Experience

I have over six years of tutoring experience across GCSE, A-Level, and university level. I specialise in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, and have worked with students preparing for a wide range of exams, including:
- GCSE and IGCSE (Higher Tier)
- A-Level and AS-Level
- Further Maths modules
- University-level Maths
- Maths competitions and entrance exams (UKMT, STEP, Oxbridge preparation)
I tailor content and practice to match each board’s style, ensuring students are well-prepared for both the syllabus and the mark schemes.

Many of my students see visible progress within just a few weeks. I'm particularly experienced in helping learners:
- Move up 1–2 grade levels within 8–10 lessons, especially in Maths and Physics
- Cover the full GCSE or A-Level syllabus efficiently in under 15 sessions for resit or fast-track students
- Sharpen exam technique and boost confidence for last-minute revision

My structured and focused approach ensures that even in a short time, students feel clearer, faster, and more in control of the subject.

Tutoring Approach

Every student is different, so I always start with a short diagnostic or past paper review to identify strengths and areas for focus. I then create a personalised plan based on your goals and timeline.

Lessons are usually 60–90 minutes and include:
✔️ Clear, step-by-step explanations using diagrams, analogies, and everyday examples
✔️ Guided problem-solving with discussion and strategic questioning
✔️ Exam-style practice, including mark scheme techniques and time management
✔️ Homework & revision notes to reinforce learning between sessions

My teaching style is calm, encouraging and flexible — well-suited to students who may be struggling or lacking confidence, as well as high-achieving learners aiming for top grades or advanced material.
