Nader A
Experienced & Creative Physics Tutor (PhD)
I am an Engineering PhD and an official teacher at Derby College, with over 11 years of experience teaching Maths, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and CAD software such as SolidWorks. I have worked in both academia and industry, which allows me to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications and exam requirements. I enjoy teaching because I genuinely value helping students build confidence, think logically, and achieve results they may not have thought possible. I understand that many learners struggle not due to a lack of ability, but because concepts were not explained in a clear...

Uzma A
Uzma has been supporting my son with his GCSE Physics and Maths over the past few months.
Working through past paper questions has been incredibly helpful in identifying and addressing his weaker topics. Her clear explanations and use of extra practice ensure that he fully understands the material. My son’s confidence, particularly in physics, has improved, which is nice to see.
Uzma has had excellent communication throughout, and her commitment to ensuring the curriculum is tailored exactly to his needs is evident.

Bahar O
Bahar has been a godsend to my son, who is taking Physics IGSCE this year. His international school is prioritising IB and hasn't taught the entire iGSCE curriculum, leaving gaps. Bahar mapped out gap and weaker areas and systematically addressed each - her approach and pedagogy are great and my son has significantly improved his scores. He is now confident that he will reach his target grade (from complete anxiety a few months ago). Bahar really cares - she goes over and beyond and is very generous with her time - not something I see often. Sok tecekkur ederim Bahar 🙏
