• When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?

  I’ve been passionate about STEM subjects since childhood — science and problem-solving have always fascinated me. I participated in several local and national science competitions, which deepened my love for learning. After completing secondary school in 2012, I began tutoring and discovered how rewarding it is to help others understand challenging topics.

• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  I teach Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Further Mathematics up to A Level/IB, and Biology up to IGCSE level. My lessons focus on building confidence, understanding, and curiosity. I enjoy helping students connect scientific theories to real-world examples so they can see how what they learn in class applies to everyday life. More than memorising facts, I encourage independent thinking and creativity in every session.

• Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?

  Yes — one of my high school chemistry teachers had a huge impact on me. She made science come alive and encouraged me to ask questions and think critically. Her ability to connect theory with practical examples inspired me to do the same for my students.

• What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?

  Patience, empathy, and creativity are essential. A good tutor should meet each student where they are, explain ideas in a way that makes sense to them, and always treat them with respect and encouragement.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  In chemistry, I always suggest that students memorise the first 20 elements — their names, symbols, and atomic numbers — just like learning multiplication tables. This simple foundation makes understanding more complex concepts much easier later on.

• What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or still facing in your subject?

  Sometimes, online students struggle to adapt to digital study tools. However, with platforms like Google Drive and Zoom, it has become much easier to support them with interactive lessons, shared resources, and constant feedback.

• Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?

  Teaching is my greatest passion. I genuinely enjoy helping students grow both academically and personally. Outside of work, I love hiking, trekking, and reading — activities that help me recharge and bring fresh energy to my lessons.

• What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions :-P) ?

  Over the years, I’ve taught more than 100 students. Many of them have gone on to achieve great results, and knowing that I played a part in their success is incredibly fulfilling. I believe what makes me stand out is not just my teaching experience but my genuine care for every student’s progress and confidence.
