About Me

I am a highly dedicated and experienced tutor with a passion for empowering students through education. With an Oxford PhD, I bring a deep understanding of academic subjects and a commitment to fostering a love for learning.

From an early age, I have been captivated by the power of problem solving and the transformative nature of reading. This passion has driven me to excel in Maths and English, and I find great joy in simplifying complex concepts and making difficult ideas easily understandable for my students.

My tutoring journey began in 2001 when I started supporting students in secondary school after completing my degree. Witnessing their growth and improvement ignited my passion for teaching and inspired me to expand my reach. Over the years, I have worked with local children, boosting their confidence in Maths and English and helping them achieve better results.

One of the most transformative experiences of my life was living as a monk in India. During this time, I volunteered for a charity that focused on food distribution and education in the slums of Mumbai. I provided crucial support to children with learning difficulties and complex behaviours, enabling them to reach their academic goals. This experience highlighted the empowering nature of education and further fuelled my desire to make a positive impact through teaching.

Upon returning to the UK, I dedicated my efforts to mentoring young adults in a non-profit spiritual organisation. By offering pastoral care, guidance, and coordinating various activities, I aimed to inspire ethical development and foster a growth mindset. Additionally, I organised international trips and delivered presentations on philosophy, self-development, and mindfulness to demonstrate the practical application of these principles in their lives.

As a private tutor, I have had the privilege of helping numerous students successfully receive offers from their desired schools. I believe in understanding each student's unique learning style and tailoring my teaching methods to suit their individual needs. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to reach their full potential.

Outside of tutoring, I am an avid traveler, exploring diverse cultures and customs. I am an enthusiastic sports player, enjoying football, badminton, and swimming. My dedication to continuous learning fuels my love for reading, especially in the fields of theology, history, and philosophy.

Mathematics (Learning math for beginners or just improving)
I firmly think that in mathematics, practice leads to perfection; nonetheless, it is crucial to understand the real-life applications of each lesson's worth. Utilising real-life examples would be an ideal method to grasp a lesson. I can not explain exactly how each class goes, because everyone is different and I can adapt to the learning styles.

I give tutoring and lessons in math and German, from beginners to native speakers. I passed my high school diploma with a grade of 1.0 in Hesse and my law degree with top marks. I have been giving tutoring for over five years, especially in German and math.

Adem
Science and Maths tuition made easy (life’s difficult so why over complicate things?)
Maths and science are among the most useful topics in the world today. And yet, rather frustratingly, these topics remain rather incomprehensible for many students (with a good majority finding them extremely difficult) With my sessions I do my best to make both maths and science as engaging and enjoyable as possible. The main goal is not just to overload students with information but also to try to gain some insight into the both topics - hopefully students will come out of lessons much better at science and with an appreciation for how weird and wonderful the world truly is
