University application and Cambridge NSAA/interview guidance

I'm looking forward to helping students apply to study biology (natural sciences) at university. I will offer my students ideas for which universities to apply for based on their interests and give them advice on writing an amazing personal statement. In addition, I can provide guidance for Cambridge applicants on how to fill out their SAQ and prepare natural scientists for the NSAA. Moreover, I’m hoping to make my students more confident at the Cambridge Natural Sciences interview by arranging mock interviews and discussing interview style questions.

About Me

Hello I'm Leia! As a tutor, I’m looking forward to meeting students with the same passion and help them broaden their understanding of nature.

I love tutoring as I enjoy inspiring my students to reach their full potential and watching them make progress. As a tutor, I like helping my students understand topics covered at school well as going through difficult homework together. I also ask questions that occasionally exceed the scope of the textbooks to expand my student’s understanding. In addition, I feel doing past exam papers is a crucial part of exam preparation. Therefore, I will look over difficult exam questions with students preparing for exams and set them past papers as part of their revision goal. It is important that the student has good exam and revision techniques, so I will give them my top tips. In addition, being fluently bilingual in both English and Mandarin, I can tutor in both languages, which is often useful for international applicants, Mandarin speaking students new to the UK or students seeking to improve their Chinese.

In conclusion, I see myself as a passionate, confident and supportive tutor and I’m excited to work with my students to achieve their goals.

Mavi
Science tutoring for children and teenagers: IGCSE, IB, and GCSE
I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company. I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools. Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!
