Cambridge University Engineer providing *online* tuition in Maths

Hi, I’m Umar, a second-year Engineering undergraduate at the University of Cambridge (Sidney Sussex College) and a student ambassador. My academic journey has been driven by a deep fascination with how things work, which helped me achieve five A*s at A-Level, ranking first in my cohort for Physics, alongside twelve Grade 9s at GCSE. • Techniques and Teaching Methodology My teaching approach is is heavily rooted in evidence-based learning strategies. Having recently navigated these exact syllabuses myself, I am intimately familiar with common pitfalls, exam board quirks, and the specific pressures students face. I structure my sessions around the principles of active recall (using past paper questions and targeted flashcards) and spaced repetition rather than passive reading to embed concepts in long-term memory. While mastering exam technique is paramount, I also focus on building an intuitive understanding of the topics wherever it helps to give students the problem-solving skills needed to tackle the hardest questions efficiently. I'm sure to adapt to each student’s pace and learning style, ensuring every session is productive and focused. • Typical Length of a Lesson: 1hr • Qualifications/Experience as a Tutor I have over a year of professional tutoring experience, helping students master Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Computer Science. • Who the Lessons Are For - GCSE or A-Level Maths (any spec) - GCSE or A-Level Further Maths (any spec) - GCSE Physics (any spec) - A-Level OCR A Physics (this spec only) - GCSE Edexcel Computer Science (this spec only) - University admissions • HOURLY RATES STARTING FROM £25/hr One-to-one tuition rates: 1:1 GCSE: £40 1:1 A-Level: £40 One-to-two (i.e. matched pair) tuition rates: 1:2 GCSE: £25 1:2 A-Level: £27 NOTE: This one-to-two option is only available if I find a matched pair with similar academic level to you University (exclusively 1:1): Advice/Personal statement support: £59 Mock interview: £64
