Yusuf A.

Hi! I'm a second year undergraduate student at the University of Bath studying Economics. I'm a keen kayaker and enjoy cooking. My specialty is in Mathematics, having performed well at both GCSE and A-Levels, and have experience assisting with students, including those with poor reading comprehension. A*, A*, A, B in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Biology and History at A-Level. I was a part of a programme to assist the reading of children with poor developmental skills, and have taken part in my university’s peer mentor scheme, aiding new students as they begin a new chapter.

About me: I am completing my Physics degree at the University of Manchester and used to compete in Physics and Astronomy competitions at school, which inspired me to pursue a career as a scientist. One of my hobbies is astronomy, especially stargazing and tracking meteors during meteor showers. Still, my true passion is to make knowledge accessible to as many people as possible and use science to make the world a slightly better place. Lower level: Mathematics, Science GCSE level: Mathematics, Physics A-level: Mathematics, Physics Higher level: Physics Programming languages: Python, C++, LaTeX SEN experience: I have worked with year 7&8 SEN students for a few weeks as part of my teaching internship, helping them with their Science lessons. Preferred age group: I don't have a preferred age group; I simply want to work with someone willing to put in the work and communicate openly about their struggles. Any additional languages: Bulgarian I am currently completing my Physics undergrad (preceded by a foundation year) at the University of Manchester. I graduated from one of the most elite high schools in my home country, which focused on Maths and Computer science. I used to compete in Physics and Astronomy competitions and olympiads, where I was one of the top-performing students. Before I studied Physics, I studied Architecture for two years at the same university - I wanted to try something different, since I love arts and see myself as a very creative person, but realised that science was my true passion and switched to Physics, where you find me now. I have worked several part-time jobs and completed several internships to support myself alongside my studies. These include an internship as a civil servant, part of the Government Operational Research Service, and the National Teaching Internship Programme, provided by the Department of Education. The teaching internship involved teaching GCSE and A-level Maths and Physics to students between years 7 and 12 in a few local schools and colleges. This experience helped me realise how much I enjoy teaching, fostering critical thinking skills in others, and guiding them towards discovering their passions. It also taught me how inclusive and expansive science can be and how crucial education is.

"Hello! I am a proud graduate of the University of Cambridge, where my academic journey deepened my fascination with the complexities of life sciences. Currently, I am immersed in the field of cancer biology, where my research aims to unravel the mysteries of this formidable disease. My passion for medical research is not just confined to the lab; I am equally enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and insights with others. Through tutoring, I aspire to ignite a similar passion for science in my students, helping them to see the beauty and intricacies of biology. My approach to teaching is patient, engaging, and tailored to each student's unique learning style. Whether you're grappling with the basics or delving into advanced topics, I am here to guide you on your educational journey." I have a diverse academic background in the life sciences, beginning with my dual degree program where I earned both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biotechnology from the Vellore Institute of Technology in India. Following this, I pursued and completed my Master's degree in Cancer Biology at the University of Melbourne in Australia, further specializing my expertise in the field of life sciences. My academic journey continued in England, where I achieved a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cambridge, showcasing my broad and deep engagement with both the theoretical and practical aspects of biotechnology, cancer research, and clinical neurosciences across three continents.
