Affnafee R.

Are you preparing for your GCSEs, A levels or looking to apply to university? Do you want to excel in Mathematics and Physics and smash your exams? Do you need a tutor with a strong academic background, hundreds of hours of experience in 1-2-1 tutoring with a proven record of success? Then look no further! 

My academic background:

1. MEng in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford

2. 4A*s in A levels in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry with a World's Highest Score in Further Mathematics.

3. 8A* in IGCSEs including Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Human Biology.

4. The ONLY Bangladeshi student in the 2016 Oxford Undergraduate Cohort across all subjects and all colleges. 

Tutoring Experience:

1. 500+ hours of 1-2-1 Tutoring Experience: I have an extensive professional tutoring experience, working individually with over 100 students to address their unique needs in maths and physics spanning different examining boards such as Edexcel, OCR, AQA and CAIE. 

2. Proven Track Record in GCSEs/A Levels: Over 90% of the students I tutor have successfully nailed their school exams (Year 10, 11 and sixth form) before acing their GCSEs and A Levels!

3. University/Oxbridge Applicant Success Rate: On average 9 out of 10 of my students either maintain or exceed their predicted grades and meet the conditional offers for their 1st choice universities. 4 out of 5 of my Oxbridge applicants make it to the interview stages! Essentially, I am an expert in coaching you to get to your dream university!

I cater to students sitting exams all the major boards such as Edexcel, AQA, OCR at GCSE/A levels. This versatility allows me to support my student's curriculum regardless of the examining board. My teaching philosophy is simple but effective:

1. Focus on fundamentals: I emphasise a deep understanding of core concepts and first principles in maths and physics giving you the tools and confidence to solve unfamiliar problems with ease. 

2. Personalized Approach: My tutoring style is highly indivualised and caters to each student's individual needs, strengths and weaknesses. Whether a student learns best through visual aids, practice problems, or discussion, lessons are tailored to maximize understanding and comfort.

3. Interactive Learning Tools: I make online lessons engaging with interactive whiteboards, past paper walkthroughs (to perfect exam technique), custom worksheets, and comprehensive revision notes. Every session is hands-on and focused on real exam practice. 

4. Motivational and Supportive Mentorship: I foster a friendly, encouraging atmosphere, providing motivation to boost my students’ confidence, resilience and perseverance, helping them overcome challenges and stay positive about their progress. 

5. Building Independent Learners and Critical Thinkers: My ultimate goal is to develop self-motivated, independent learners who not only excel in exams but also cultivate a long-term love of STEM and learning. Under my tutelage, students gain the skills to study effectively and productively on their own and remain curious, lifelong learners.
