Aminah

As a UCL Pharmacy graduate and a current medical student at the University of Cambridge, my educational journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in the sciences and a deep understanding of effective learning strategies. With over 8 years of tutoring experience and more than 3000 hours spent guiding students of ages ranging from 5 to 32, I am committed to nurturing academic growth and fostering a love for learning. The recent pandemic underscores the importance of addressing any knowledge gaps, and I am here to help students bridge those gaps, ensuring they are well-prepared for upcoming exams.

Having completed my own A Levels in 2017, I possess firsthand knowledge of the latest curriculum specifications and assessment methods in subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Maths, and Psychology. I am well-versed in equipping students with not only subject matter expertise but also valuable study techniques that empower them to excel in exams. My personal achievements, including securing 100% in four A Level exams, stand as a testament to the effectiveness of the right revision tools and a determined mindset.

Your child's education and success are my top priorities, and I am ready to provide comprehensive support to help them realise their full potential. To ensure your peace of mind, I am pleased to offer references from both current and past students, attesting to the positive impact I've made on their academic journeys. Furthermore, my commitment to safety is underscored by my possession of an enhanced DBS check stemming from my medical degree pursuits.

Tutoring Experience

With extensive teaching experience spanning various levels, I embarked on my tutoring journey at the age of 17, initially guiding students through GCSEs. Over time, my commitment to education led me to where I am today—conducting university seminars and mentoring students for university applications.

Between the years 2020 and 2022, I tutored 12 A Level students; 9 achieved all As and A*s due to my rigorous approach with challenging assignments. I've also prepared students for 11+ exams and offer specialised guidance for Medicine applications (undergraduate and postgraduate). As a medical student myself, I provide valuable insights for a successful application process.
I set homework in accordance to what the students are learning at school therefore students should be prepared to complete this homework.

Tutoring Approach

I am here to make the student's academic life easier. My main objective is to alleviate the challenges and stresses of studying for students by building upon their existing strengths and comfort zones. Recognising the complexities that accompany learning, I, as a fellow student, am dedicated to providing practical insights and strategies that not only prepare students comprehensively for exams but also alleviate the stress associated with them. I will identify and address knowledge gaps, all the while reinforcing current understanding through targeted homework and exam questions. By tailoring my approach to each student's unique needs, I ensure a holistic learning experience that nurtures confidence, competence, and success.
