My Passion & How I Inspire

I have a particular focus on exam technique. This means I can teach my tutee how to make sure the answer they put down is correct and teach them how to check their work with the time they have left over at the end. I am skilled in motivating my tutees and making them aspire to obtain higher grades than they were previously aiming for. I also pay close attention to how the tutee reacts and am flexible in my teaching style, ensuring to keep my students comfortable.

My Reviews

Claire Jones: I am the Mother of a IGCSE student taught in Physics by Avinash. Avinash was a very inspirational and engaging teacher and my son looked forward to lessons with him.  He taught Physics to my son Lewis and really brought the subject alive to him.  Avinash was always very conscious of making sure that the issues for each sessions were fully understood rather than looking at the time that was spent in teaching.  He was always very well prepared for the lessons asking each time which areas that my son needed to perfect as well as guiding him with this.  I fully recommend Avinish and a very personable and responsible tutor who does help students perform well in exams.
