Asma

Hello. My name is Asma. I have an Honours degree in BCS Biomedical Science and a passion for teaching and helping others. I am very easy going, patient and have effective communication skills. I have worked as a Discharge facilitator at a local Hospital for 8 years. As part of my job I regularly taught science related topics to new medical students who were on placements and also my team members.

Teaching Experience

I have been tutoring for approximately 7 years and have tutored many students who have needed help with a variety of subjects. For example, I've helped pupils with their GCSE's in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as GCSE Maths so that they could succeed in their exams. I have experience teaching KS3 and Primary Maths and English. I also teach 11 plus content. During a community placement, I supervised a Year 7 class, and this experience with the children enabled me to understand their needs more and develop new skills, which are often different from adult interactions.

Tutoring Approach

When I teach, I like to keep the lesson fun and interactive. I believe that the best way a person learns is when they fully understand and enjoy how the topics are taught. This helps to embed the content into my students’ long term memories. I strongly believe that a thorough understanding provides the foundation for confidently and accurately answering exam questions. I encourage my students to connect with Biology by relating it to their daily lives, so that the content is more meaningful and applicable to them. I like to simplify complex ideas by mapping them out using diagrams to help my students visualise new concepts and to see the wider context. After completing a topic, I like to set out exam-style questions under timed conditions to get an understanding of how much my student has learnt and to identify weak areas. It is important for me to identify my tutees’ individual goals and tailor my lessons to suit their needs. I really look forward to developing a strong rapport with my students so that they feel comfortable asking any questions to maximise their learning experience.

My daughter has only had 3 sessions so far but Asma is always welcoming and feel she is building strong connections to be able to develop a good working alliance. Hoping this continues and proof is in the final grades .

Thank you Carol!

JodiFirst Tutors

She's very helpful with explaining and going through things I don't understand. I have been having sessions with her for several weeks and have never had any problems and she can go into a deeper understanding of things if I need. I have noticed my grades and understanding of biology increase, so I am very grateful and will continue to use her for help towards my exams.

JamesFirst Tutors

An extremely friendly and helpful tutor. Very patient with our daughter and explains in detail each subject to make sure it is understood. Is understanding if she gets it wrong and makes sure she understands the question before moving on. Is patient and doesn't put unnecessary pressure on her. Very flexible and often will go on beyond the lesson time to guarantee understanding and learning has taken place.

Thank you James!

Tutor response

OlaFirst Tutors

Asma has been tutoring my daughter in GCSE science for nearly 6 weeks and I can honestly say it has been an enjoyable experience for my daughter. She is starting to grasp topics/areas that she previously struggled with and her confidence has increased as a result. Asma is kind, patient and understanding. My daughter‘s progress in science has improved to the point it has not gone unnoticed in her school. She has received commendations from her science teachers because of her improvement. Thank you Asma for your continued support and I am truly grateful for everything you are doing.
