Tutor Profile

Nagham

Private Physics and Maths Tutor in Coulsdon

I am a qualified teacher (QTLS) with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, young people, and adults to achieve their goals. I currently teach:

Maths GCSE

Further Maths GCSE

Reformed Functional Skills Mathematics L1/L2

I am more than a teacher; I coach and support students to succeed in life in general. I help them set their own goals, build their self-confidence, and find their way to building their future.

I have also supported young people and adults in developing their careers. Many of my tutees have gone on to achieve their desired destinations in colleges, vocational courses, or universities.

Having knowledge of a subject is important, but having the skills to study and prepare is even more vital to achieving the desired results. I find that many students require study skills more than subject knowledge. This is where I can help and support. I don’t just teach students—I guide them to discover their own path and follow it through.

Teaching Experience

Over 15 years of experience teaching KS3, GCSE Maths, IGCSE in a high school setting.

Skilled in tailoring the curriculum to meet the needs of students with learning difficulties in mainstream schools, using the Maths Mastery approach.

Experienced in teaching maths and physics to young people and adults who are re-sitting GCSEs.

Experienced in teaching study skills that equip students to become independent learners.

Support students in preparing for A-levels, apprenticeships, vocational exams, observations, and professional discussions, and assist with the application process.

Provide training and support for parents and specialist teaching assistants working with children and young people with learning difficulties.

Offer guidance to parents on the curriculum, GCSE programmes, and other schooling matters.

Provide help and support for parents with ESOL, if required.

Tutoring Approach

I am patient with students and skilled at differentiating tasks according to their ability and level, helping them rebuild confidence in understanding difficult mathematical concepts.

I provide support in study skills across subjects when required, guiding students toward independence, a willingness to learn, and a growth mindset. I work with them to identify their strengths, revisit areas needing improvement, and build on prior knowledge. Lessons are tailored to each student, using a mastery approach to support recall and understanding. I also provide differentiated tasks and past papers based on individual needs.

I help students develop time management and organisational skills, working with them to plan and prepare effectively for exams.

I am fluent in English and Arabic, and able to adapt my teaching and communication to support learners from diverse backgrounds and those who speak other languages.

We've been very impressed with Nagham. She has taken a very thorough approach in helping my daughter with her GSCE maths retake and has really taken ownership of her learning journey. Nagham has also dealt brilliantly with my daughter's learning difficulty, instantly putting her at ease with kindness and care which has made the process really positive one.

TeniFirst Tutors

Nagham has been a God-sent to our family. She is very patient, knowledgeable and has loads of experience. I used the term God-sent because she was able to point my daughter in the best directions to achieve her career goals. She is an amazing tutor who knows her stuff, and her teaching techniques are superb. My daughter said that she keeps her so engaged during tutoring and that she has no choice but to pay attention. Dealing with me as a parent Nagham has helped me to relate better with my daughter, she's also given us so much insightful career signposting that I was previously unaware of. She was also very patient and flexible with the lesson times/arrangements. To summarize, I bless the day I made contact with her to tutor my daughter.
