Rahul

Hi,
I am a Teacher of Maths/Physics with a BSc in Theoretical Physics (University of Leeds), as well as a PGCE in Secondary Maths Education (Middlesex University. I have two+ years of experience in education where I have taught all the way up to GCSEs and A levels. I have strong experience with AQA OCR and Edexcel. Since my time teaching, I have also worked in industry as a Lab Systems Engineer where I developed highly regulated/compliant software in Python, as well as worked as a Data Analyst for Marks & Spencers. As someone who has struggled with annoying teachers in schools who always tell you that "you've hit a brick-wall" as soon as you struggle with a topic, I believe that it is paramount to be able to empathise with a student in order to ensure they fully understand the subject matter being covered. I even managed to move from a C in AS Maths to an A in A2s and managed to join the university I wanted to. After graduating, teaching professionally and working in industry; I can safely say that there is no such thing as a brick wall - all it takes is some patience, time and smart practice to improve your grades and get to your dream school/university/job!

If this sounds like the type of help you're looking for, please do reach-out!

Worked at Claremont High School Academy prior to my PGCE, supporting secondary students with differentiated needs across Maths and Physics and gaining early experience in lesson delivery and intervention support.

Tutoring Approach

I take a diagnostic approach to tutoring, beginning by identifying any knowledge gaps or misconceptions the student may have. From there, I tailor lessons using a range of targeted resources, such as scaffolded worksheets, exam-style questions, and past paper materials aligned with the relevant exam board. My sessions are designed to build understanding iteratively, gradually increasing the complexity to strengthen both confidence and problem-solving ability. I aim to equip students not only with a solid grasp of the subject matter but also with the skills to apply their knowledge flexibly in unfamiliar contexts, which is an essential part of exam success. Above all, I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and independent thinking.
