Tutoring Approach

I am a versatile tutor with 10 years plus experience in teaching comprehensive, independent, boarding, and overseas school students online, during a lesson we review exam papers and focus on the questions to highlight the necessary skills and knowledge needed to attain higher grades. Once we have identified gaps in subject knowledge we can then focus on specific skills and topics to build confidence and understanding.

Lessons are personally tailored to student’s needs agreed goals and potential so that the best positive outcome is achieved. As part of the broader plan, we go through range of past papers whilst guidance and feedback are provided to understand the questions and how to structure answers and clearing out any misconceptions.

Rachna has been an excellent Chemistry and Physics teacher for my daughter. She has a very strong grasp of both subjects and a clear understanding of the GCSE syllabus, exam expectations and marking schemes. More importantly, she helped my daughter develop a much deeper understanding of the topics, which gave her far more confidence when tackling exam questions. Rachna explains difficult concepts clearly, quickly spots areas that need work, and focuses on understanding rather than memorising. I would happily recommend her to any parent looking for a knowledgeable and effective GCSE science tutor.

Rachna was great at explaining Chemistry in a way my daughter understood. She was very organised and friendly and my daughter's confidence grew significanlty with Rachna's excellent teaching style and knowledge.

Rachna is a science tutor for our daughter and helps her prepare for all three GCSE science subjects. My daughter describes Rachna as very organised, structured and good at explaining the topics that need more revision. As parents, we noticed our daughter being more confident and enjoying her tuition lessons with Rachna. We are pleased with Rachnna's service and strongly recommend her to others.

Really responsive and reliable. my daughter is in year 11 and has found the lessons extremely helpful, Rachna has quickly identified the areas she needs help in and targeted her lessons to meet this need, ahead of her mocks and GCSEs. Would highly recommend.

My son is very happy with Rachna’s tutoring. She is very exam focused which is exactly what he needs given this is his final year of GCSE. I can highly recommend Rachna.
