Sara

I am a science tutor with specialisation in chemistry. I have PhD in chemistry from Cardiff university.

Teaching Experience

12 years

Tutoring Approach

I combine personalised one to one interaction with tailored, exam board specific techniques to build confidence. My tutoring approach is diagnosis of current knowledge levels, creating a smart plan and focus heaving on exam techniques. I start by identifying strengths, weaknesses and specific exam boards and set clear goals. I can adapt to student’s pace spending more time on difficult topics and skipping over mastered concepts. My priority is working through past exam papers to teach students how to structure answers to maximise marks. I utilise interactive tools (whiteboards, diagrams) rather than lecturing to cater to visual learners. I set relevant, focused homework to consolidate learning, ensuring ‘frequency of exposure’ to challenging topics.

Sarwat is a fantastic tutor. Within only a few sessions my daughters knowledge and confidence in chemistry has improved. Sarwat is very organised sending through work in advance of the sessions to allow preparation. The link to join is always sent in advance and Sarwat is ready for a prompt start. Her organisation and communication skills are super, always replying straight away to messages. I would definitely recommend. 10/10!

MadelineFirst Tutors

Sarwat is an excellent tutor, who really helped me study for my biochemistry exam. I have a very shaky foundation in chemistry, and had a lot of struggle understanding the content of my course, but she reassured me it wasn't that difficult, and taught me the information in a way that made a lot more sense. She was also proactive in providing me with reading material she thought would be useful, which proved to be helpful.

SelmaFirst Tutors

Excellent tutor. Extremly patient, helpful and knowledgable in her area. She is always on time and well prepared for the sessions. She identified my weaknesses and strenght early on and found the right strategy to guide me in my studies. Sarwat tutored me in biochemistry and helped me raise my marks, which wouldn't be possible wothout her support.

My son is very happy by the technique Sarwat gives her lessons , despite its been only a few lessons but I can see my son's way of studying that its more easy for him .She is very thorough, and explains in a very simple way for students to understand. My son is more confident in answering questions. I would recommend Ms Sarwat.

Sara helped my daughter with GCSE Chemistry. She explains things very clearly and after a few sessions my daughter’s understanding of the subject increased significantly. I would highly recommend her.

EmmaFirst Tutors

Had a few lessons and my son feels very comfortable asking questions and working through topics that he needs assistance. Sarwat is very reliable and also give him past papers to work through on his own that can be reviewed in the lesson. Would thoroughly recommend Sarwat to assist for any of the sciences.

Thanks very much Emma. It is really good to have him in my team :)

MeenaFirst Tutors

Sarwat provided my friend and I with well prepared and professional lessons and was very patient and helpful by providing my friend and I with additional notes after each session which ensured that we were very prepared for any exam questions to come, this resulted in us doing exceptionally well in the exam. Sarwat uses a wide range of resources to make sure materials are understood in each lesson and frequently asks questions to ensure we understood fully what had been discussed. Couldn't have asked for a better tutor.

Tutor response

Thanks Meena. All the best to both of you :)
