Hi, my name is Thivane and I’m a third year dental student at the University of Birmingham. Teaching is one of my passions and one of the ways I’ve done this is by tutoring for several years. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching a wide range of students ranging from KS1 to A-levels which has definitely maximised my flexibly, patience with students over the years.

Friendliness is the key to my successful tutoring background as I take the time to chat to my students for a few minutes at the start of the lessons to make sure we build a rapport. I find this approach makes my words of praise, encouragement, motivation and discipline have a much stronger effect on my students’ performances. To enhance this impact I also tailor my lessons to suit their learning styles e.g. by including audio and visual cues. Examples of my success stories include helping many students get into their dream schools including prestigious ones like Wycombe Abbey and Brighton College as well as helping students improve scores for GCSEs, A-levels and UCAT.

Asides from tutoring, I enjoy travelling, running, writing and organising events as well as spending time with my friends and family. I can’t wait to teach my students and get to know them!

I am a recent Oxford graduate with a Master of Engineering in Materials Science. My Masters’s research project was in DFT modelling of rare-earth superconductors where I looked at how I can better interoperate experimental results in order to design the next generation of superconductors to be used within fusion reactors.

I am extremely grateful for my time in Oxford as I was one of the only people from my school to go to Oxford. Despite the challenges of dyslexia and my journey through state schools, I was able to achieve 4 A*s in maths, further maths, physics and chemistry. Throughout my academic journey, I have learnt many effective studying techniques I am keen to pass on to my students.

In my spare time, I enjoy bouldering, going to the gym, and taking courses in a wide variety of disciplines such as philosophy and Spanish.

Hi there! My name is Mahir Shah and I’m a 3rd year medical student from Imperial College London. My past few years at medical school have been some of the best years of my life, and I’d love to help you get here too. Having scored extremely well on the UCAT and BMAT and getting offers from all of my interviews, I am very familiar with what is needed to obtain a place at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities. Through my tutoring experience not only tutoring GCSE and A-Level subjects, but also being tutored when I was at your stage, I know all too well how to make your tutoring experience a pleasant one and ensure that each student of mine gets everything they want out of their lessons. I have a friendly persona and I’d like to think I go above and beyond to ensure my students progress and achieve their goals.

I look forward to meeting you!
