I’m an aerospace engineer and passionate educator with a deep love for science, learning, and space exploration. With over 5 years of teaching experience across learning centers and online platforms, I believe every student has the potential to excel. It is about finding the right approach. I’m multilingual, naturally curious about how things work, and genuinely invested in helping students not just pass exams, but develop a real understanding of the material. Beyond the classroom, you’ll find me climbing mountains, diving, running, or learning languages. My teaching philosophy? Make complex concepts simple, stay patient, and inspire genuine curiosity. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Double Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, complemented by a formal Teaching Diploma. Throughout my academic journey, I consistently ranked in the top of my cohort—including ranking 6th nationally in official examinations. My technical background combined with specialized teacher training means I can explain mathematics and physics concepts with both depth and clarity, tailored to students at all levels from Primary through A-Level and GCSE. My qualifications and proven track record reflect my commitment to academic excellence and student success.

I would describe my teaching style as engaging and adaptable I maintain an open stance towards feedback and novel ideas. I encourage my students to think beyond conventional boundaries, nurturing their unique style and thought paradigm. I strive to push them to present convincing and innovative points. However, I make lessons very practical; there is a science behind English and I can teach anybody how to improve because I know that. I am passionate about English because I believe it is an evergreen discipline. I love the theories and conversations that English illuminates and evokes in all its forms. Studying English language and literature was truly inspiring for me. My A level studies encompassed a multi-modal exploration, including speeches, plays, books, diaries, interviews, poems, comics, and blogs. This comprehensive exploration challenged me to grasp the nuanced aspects of communication, persuasion and emotion. Moreover, it granted me the opportunity to glean insights from numerous authors representing diverse cultural and historical backgrounds. Hence, I am a better communicator and empathetic person which shines through my teaching.

I pursued my undergraduate studies at the University of Nottingham from September 2020 to July 2023, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Economics with International Economics. Prior to that, I completed my A-Levels at King Edward VI Five Ways School in Birmingham from August 2018 to July 2020, achieving outstanding grades of A*A*A in Mathematics, English Language and Literature and Economics respectively. My academic journey began at King Edward VI Aston Birmingham, where I completed my GCSEs from September 2016 to July 2018, earning notable results including 4 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s, and 2 grade 7s, with grade 9 distinctions in English Language

I hold a First Class B.Sc. in Mathematics and Statistics, a degree that has given me a deep understanding of how mathematical thinking shapes real‑world problem‑solving — from designing transport networks through graph theory to using statistical modelling to predict future events. I have been a private maths tutor for over 6 years, supporting students from 11+ through GCSE, A‑Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics, including GCSE AQA Further Mathematics and OCR FSMQ Additional Mathematics. I also tutor 11+ Maths and Non‑Verbal Reasoning. My students consistently achieve excellent results, with 90% securing a place at their first‑choice school, or obtaining grade 9/A* in GCSE Mathematics and A-level Mathematics. Alongside private tutoring, I have taught for a year in a local comprehensive school, gaining classroom experience across KS3, GCSE Mathematics, Level 2 Further/Additional Maths, A‑Level Maths, Further Maths and Statistics. This combination of school teaching and long‑term private tutoring means I understand both curriculum requirements and the individual needs of learners. I am a resourceful and adaptable teacher, experienced in supporting students of all abilities — including those with SEND — and I tailor my teaching to ensure every learner makes strong, confident progress. Coming from a family of mathematicians and maths teachers, I bring both expertise and genuine passion for the subject. My goal is always to help students feel capable, motivated, and fully prepared for their exams. I attended King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School for Boys where I successfully completed my GCSEs including A* in mathematics and A in OCR FSMQ Additional Mathematics. I completed my A-levels at King Edward VI Aston School obtaining A* in Mathematics. I obtained 1st in B.Sc. Mathematics and Statistics at Coventry University. Additional, I hold a DipABRSM (now ARSM) in piano performance and grade 8 in classical guitar. During my university studies and undergraduate research, I specialised in pure & applied mathematics, statistics, statistical & data analysis, and machine learning. I am proficient in a range of software including R, Python, SPSS, MiniTab, SQL, and MatLab.

Hello! My name is Jeremy, I study medicine at Aston University which I find extremely rewarding, and I'm currently in my 3rd year. I'm an friendly and approachable person, with a keen interest in teaching. In my spare time my interests include volleyball, the gym, and chess. I attended Bishop Heber High School for my GCSEs and A levels, for my A levels I took Biology, Chemistry, and Maths, achieving A,A*,A* respectively. I had a gap year before enrolling in Aston Medical school for the last 3 years, which has taught me a lot about working through difficult situations.
