Algebra Tutors : 1-1 Algebra Preparation

Hello, I’m Talhah Bin-Islam—a highly driven biomedical science graduate preparing to begin Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Nottingham. I am deeply passionate about education, academic excellence, and mentoring the next generation of achievers. I have extensive tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects, supporting students from 11+, KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level, and beyond. I also specialize in university preparation, including medical school applications at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

My approach is not just about delivering knowledge but building strategic thinking, resilience, and long-term success. I believe in creating high-impact results by tailoring learning to each student’s aspirations. With a strong foundation in medicine, education, and personal development, I bring energy, precision, and ambition to every session. I am committed to helping every student unlock their full potential and push beyond what they believe is possible.

I am from Indonesia but lived in Dubai since 2010. I have tutored GCSE physics and chemistry since year 12 and was a teaching assistant for accelerated maths students during this time too. I have experience in teaching kids from 3 year olds to 16 year olds from part timing as taekwondo instructor. I have had the privilege of tutoring people of all backgrounds and cultures so I can accommodate to their learning style. I have worked with children with learning disabilities from ages 3 and up. I am good at motivating students and relating to them to create a more comfortable and trustworthy atmosphere. My academic background can help the students not only learn the content but also teach them how to figure out their study technique so they know how to revise independently and efficiently for their future and also teach them on how to maintain their mentality for their upcoming exams.

Hello! I’m Rhea, I am a first year Economics and Economic History student at the London School of Economics. I have two years of tutoring experience, helping students of all ages reach their potential in Maths and English, as well as Economics. By working with different styles of students I have found different ways of working with young people of different ages so I will be happy to frame the curriculum in a way which suits you!
I have also taken part in many maths challenges at every level. As someone who has only recently completed their A levels, and the university admissions process, I am happy to help with any concerns which you may have, both academic and with applications to a variety of top universities. Having been a part of many extracurriculars such as debating, volunteering, choir, orchestra and sport, I understand the importance of time management and have also helped students to develop revision styles which work for them and can help with laying a positive foundation of work during a busy period.

I’m a passionate tutor with experience in a wide range of subjects. I am outgoing and enjoy helping students develop confidence and clarity in their learning.

I tailor my lessons to each student’s level, pace, and goals, making sure they not only understand the material but also enjoy the process. Whether you’re preparing for exams, building foundational skills, or simply want to improve, I’m here to support and guide you. Rather than simply providing answers, I guide students to discover them through carefully chosen examples, thought experiments, and counterexamples. I pay close attention to each student’s strengths and areas for improvement, adapting my approach accordingly—whether that means breaking down complex arguments into manageable parts or pushing advanced students to explore beyond the syllabus. I also stress the importance of revision, feedback, and intellectual humility. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities, and I aim to foster confidence through mastery rather than shortcuts. Ultimately, my goal is to cultivate both independent thinking and disciplined analysis, so that students leave not just knowing more, but reasoning better.

Feel free to reach out—I look forward to learning together!

Hi, I’m Tom. I have been tutoring for 5 years and I would be delighted to take you on as my next student! My own academic journey has been incredibly fulfilling, providing me with exciting opportunities and transforming my approach to learning. Through my studies, I developed a deep passion for my subjects, honed my problem-solving skills, and built the confidence to tackle complex challenges.

I find immense joy in guiding students on their own academic paths. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring for me is witnessing the growth in my students – seeing their understanding deepen, their grades improve, and their confidence soar. I firmly believe that the skills and mindsets developed through our work together will serve them well not just in their immediate academic pursuits, but in all their future endeavors. Whether you’re aiming for top grades, preparing for university admissions, or simply looking to deepen your understanding of maths and science, I’m here to support and inspire you every step of the way.

With over eight years of experience as a fully qualified teacher—including roles as Music Subject Lead and Maths—I am passionate about making learning engaging, accessible, and fun. My mission is to build confidence and instil a love for learning, especially in those who find maths or music difficult. Recognised with a Highly Commended Award for Pearson’s National Teacher of the Year in a secondary school (2022), I take pride in delivering tailored, supportive lessons that truly make a difference.

Prior to my teaching career, I travelled to the UK from Australia with a full University Scholarship to study music. I was fortunate to perform with some of the best Brass Bands in the world, traveling on tour with them all over the world. Having achieved the prestigious Harry Mortimer Performance Prize, and winner the British Cornet Solo Championships, I continued my journey by serving in the British Army as a professional trumpeter in the Coldstream Guards Scots Guards Band. It was here where I found the love of teaching. Following my Military career, I became a fully trained Music teacher and experienced 8+ years teaching in a variety of education settings such as Primary, Secondary and SEN/D schools. Throughout this time, I developed a passion for teaching Maths and working with learners who are SEN, Neurodiverse, anxious and lacking in confidence. Having struggled with Maths as a school student, I was driven to making Maths more fun, exciting, enjoyable and accessible – being the teacher I always needed! I am now delving into the world of tutoring where I can reach more learners that need me.

“My daughter absolutely adores the way Steph delivers the learning as it’s fun, and she finally understands Maths in a way that makes sense to her. I have never seen her so engaged & focused! What a positive experience.” – Parent Testimonial, January 2025.
