GMAT Tutors : 1-1 GMAT Preparation

Hello! My name is Joyous, and I am passionate about helping students unlock their full potential through structured learning and encouragement. I am currently pursuing my MBA at the University of Oxford and previously completed the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants qualification as the youngest graduate in Southeast Asia. Alongside my professional career in finance and strategy, I have over eight years of experience teaching and mentoring students in both academic subjects and personal development. I also teach Business at an Oxford summer school, where I work with international students to develop their academic skills, critical thinking, and confidence. My approach combines subject knowledge with practical study strategies, ensuring students not only master content but also build confidence and independence in learning. Whether you are preparing for school exams, improving Mandarin, or developing strong foundations in business, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I am a highly motivated and results-driven individual with a strong academic background in health and education. Having achieved outstanding results in Medicine Interview preparation, IELTS, TOEFL, and GCSE, I bring both academic excellence and practical experience to my work. I have successfully helped students secure offers from top medical schools such as Bristol and UCL, and have coached candidates through Oxford mock interviews and Imperial MMIs with a 95% success rate.

My teaching philosophy centres on empowering students to think critically, communicate effectively, and perform confidently under pressure. I take pride in creating a supportive, engaging, and personalised learning environment that builds not only knowledge but also self-belief. I continuously refine my methods based on student feedback and current admissions trends to ensure my guidance remains relevant and impactful.

I am passionate about education as a tool for transformation and dedicated to helping every learner achieve their fullest potential with confidence and clarity.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. I hold both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics from IIT, one of India’s top institutions. With over 4 years of teaching experience and more than 300 students taught globally, I bring both depth and clarity to my lessons. I am well-versed with UK curricula including GCSE, IGCSE, A-levels, IB, and university-level mathematics. My teaching is tailored to each student’s needs, helping them build strong foundations and achieve top grades with confidence. My lessons focus on deep conceptual clarity, ensuring students truly understand the subject and can tackle even advanced problems with confidence. I also share powerful tips and exam strategies. With my strong subject knowledge and friendly, adaptive teaching style, I help students not just learn—but excel.

I’m a full-time private tutor with an extensive background in maths and data tech. I’ve been tutoring/taught for over twelve years, and worked in the data tech industry for six years. My academic background is from Sussex University. I completed my MMath degree with a 1st class honours in 2014 writing my dissertation on Bochner-Riesz summability and Strichartz estimates. I then completed my PhD in maths in 2019 under the Hirschfeld scholarship passing with minor corrections (2019); my thesis was titled “Topics in Geometric and Harmonic Analysis on Symmetric Spaces and Lie Groups”. I started tutoring as an A-level assistant at school helping GCSE students with maths work in the classroom. I picked it up again as a university undergraduate as a convenient way to fund my studies. I quickly realised that I had a knack for tutoring being able to get the best out of my students and consequently help them achieve their goals. Tutoring has since become my passion. From that point, I’ve had a range of tutoring positions including acting as a classroom assistant in a local school, one-on-one tutoring online and in person, leading university workshops, marking homework, being a university examiner, delivering lectures at universities, and leading technical training in industry. My PhD further enhanced my tutoring. I had regular contact with my research supervisor who had a remarkable ability to explain complex maths concepts in a simplified way unfolding the concepts as if he was telling a story. I integrated this into my tutoring technique. I constantly strive to develop this skill further and pass it onto my students to engender their enthusiasm. I entered the workforce following the completion of my PhD as a data specialist working in tech and applying maths to solve machine learning problems. An example was acting as an intermediary translating academic mathematical models into Python and PySpark code to improve the computation of aggregate functions. I continued teaching responsibilities being responsible for training work colleagues in data engineering skills and advanced machine learning. I’m now a full time tutor after spending six years in data tech. I have expanded my tutoring portfolio into further areas including: computer science, data engineering/science best practices, dissertation advice, maths entrance exams, mechanics, university application assistance, Python/SQL pair programming, statistics, and test preparation.

I have 30+ years of experience in tutoring in parallel to my career as an engineer and a business consultant. As I am not traveling anymore, I can use these assets to help students in both tutoring and making assignments from a distance besides my consulting work. I am based in Brussels.
Most of my students come to me from word of mouth since my hit rate is quite high: they get quite quickly autonomous, needing much fewer sessions than with a purely academic tutor. My explanations are always based on daily life applications, as I have been using most topics in my professional career (I started as a basic nuclear engineer).
For Business Studies, I also use my broad experience as a business consultant: I still coach and train Engineers into Business & Sales engineers with a few Scandinavian technical companies since 1995.
