Key Concepts in Science, GCSE and Exam Technique Tutoring

The best way to build confidence and increase grades is to help students attain marks in assessments. I focus a lot on exam technique, working on practice questions with students to observe trends in the questions asked and mark schemes. Working in this way means students understand how examiners expect them to answer certain questions so that they don’t have to guess in the exam.

I also focus on building logical and problem-solving skills in students, so that students are able to solve any problem that they encounter in science and outside of the science curriculum. I also ensure to work on maths skills, as these make up a large part of physics exams but are also needed in biology and chemistry.

• Evaluated curriculum plans, making sure schemes of work aligned with the curriculum aims.
• I ensured my lessons provided a supportive and inclusive environment to help facilitate optimal learning and growth. I empathically communicated sensitive information to families, and relevant professionals. I guided each young person to engage in effective coping and relaxation techniques to support them to self sooth and regulate. I attended weekly staff-support briefings to keep updated with various student educational plans and needs.
• Designed and developed online videos to provide students with the opportunity to learn new knowledge and master new skills.
• Developed quality learning assessment data on excel spreadsheets to help analyse knowledge gaps in individuals learning.
• Used MS teams and forms to create quizzes, surveys and evaluations so that I could provide individual feedback to learners.
• Worked in a fast paced, changing environment and managed various tasks within the allocated time frame.
• Mentored ECT teachers and provided them with constructive feedback to help them effectively demonstrate the required teacher standards.
• Managed the design of the year 9 scheme of work and sequence of the curriculum. I collaborated with other science practitioners to create a framework for good practice in teaching and learning.
• Reported safeguarding concerns on CPOMS and followed up with a written report, cooperating with the Deputy Safeguarding lead within the school.
• Marked formal and informal assessments in line with the school’s marking policy. I analysed student data to identify key gaps in student knowledge, using this information to inform future lesson planning and delivery.

Mennatullah
Chemistry Educator | 5+ Years of Experience 🏆 | Expert in International & Local Curricula 🌍 | Nanoengineering Researcher 🇪🇬
As a chemistry teacher, I focus on using modern teaching methods that enhance the role of the student as an active element in the educational process. Since chemistry is a logical scientific branch, I use induction and deduction methods, in addition to brainstorming, and I make sure to include dialogue and discussion during lessons. As a researcher in nanoscience, I seek to develop students' creative and critical analysis skills, which helps them form their own opinions and ideas. I believe in the slogan of Egyptian scientists: “Because every mind makes a difference.” I also work to motivate students internally by stimulating the spirit of competition through educational competitions, games, oral and written tests, as well as practical experiments. I cannot ignore the fun side of chemistry, which is practical experiments. I make sure to apply these experiments as a researcher, whether through live explanation online or by preparing explanatory videos, whether produced by me or from reliable sources such as YouTube.

Chiwila
Specialized and Certified AS and A-Levels Tutor in Sequences and Series
I am a specialized and certified AS and A-Levels tutor with extensive experience in teaching Sequences and Series, along with a strong emphasis on Calculus. My tutoring sessions are designed to provide in-depth knowledge and understanding of these crucial mathematical topics, helping students to master the material and excel in their exams. Focus Areas in Sequences and Series Binomial Expansion: I guide students through the principles of binomial expansion, helping them understand how to expand expressions of the form (a+b)n . We explore the Binomial Theorem in detail, ensuring that students can apply it effectively in problem-solving scenarios. By the end of our sessions, students will be able to expand binomials with confidence and accuracy. Arithmetic Progressions (AP): Understanding arithmetic progressions is fundamental in mathematics. I provide comprehensive instruction on identifying and working with sequences where each term is derived by adding a constant. Students learn how to find the nth term, the sum of the first n terms, and how to apply these concepts to solve real-world problems. Geometric Progressions (GP): I also specialize in geometric progressions, where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant. My approach includes explaining key concepts such as the nth term and the sum of a geometric series, both finite and infinite. We tackle a variety of problems to ensure a deep understanding of the subject. Further Sequences and Series: Beyond the basics, I explore further topics in sequences and series, including convergence and divergence. This advanced understanding prepares students for higher-level mathematics and the challenges they may face in university studies. Mastering Calculus In addition to Sequences and Series, I offer expert guidance in Calculus, which is essential for success in AS and A-Levels. My focus here includes: Differentiation: I help students understand the principles of differentiation, teaching them how to find derivatives and apply them to various functions. We work on techniques, such as the product and quotient rules, and explore applications of derivatives in real-world contexts. Integration: Students learn the fundamentals of integration, including definite and indefinite integrals. I emphasize techniques such as substitution and integration by parts, ensuring that students can tackle a wide range of problems. Application of Calculus: We explore how calculus is used in practical scenarios, including motion problems and areas under curves, to provide a holistic understanding of the subject. Proven Approach to Learning My proven approach focuses on solving past examination questions, which is crucial for familiarizing students with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I emphasize understanding core principles rather than rote memorization. This methodology not only boosts confidence but also ensures that students can apply their knowledge effectively in exams. I believe that personalized feedback is vital for growth. Throughout our sessions, I provide constructive feedback and support, allowing students to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop fosters a growth mindset, empowering students to embrace challenges and develop resilience. Book Your Classes If you’re ready to elevate your understanding of Sequences, Series, and Calculus, I invite you to book your classes now. Experience the difference that comes with learning from an experienced tutor dedicated to your success. Let me guide you through an exciting and transformative learning journey that sets you on the path to achieving the highest grades possible. Together, we can unlock your full potential and ensure you are well-prepared for your AS and A-Level examinations. Your success is my priority, and I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!
