Shams Tania Afroza Islam

I have been teaching on-and-off for more than 20 years. I specialize in teaching students who have 'fallen behind'. I will work according a schedule catered to the students' needs. I am also happy to conduct GCSE assessments.

I have experience teaching GSCE/A level Maths, Biology and Chemistry. I have taught 1st year Chemistry students their Maths in tutorial sessions (Univ of Oxford). I have also taught Chemistry at University level as well as done research at the interface of Chemistry/Biology, both in Academia (Bd, UK and NL) ) and Pharma (UK). This gives me unique insights/anecdotes in teaching which enable students to be excited about the subject.

I have two sons who are both in secondary schools. They are at two different Grammar schools with very different approaches to study as well as in the board they choose to follow for some of their subjects. My two boys are also very different in their personalities, which is making it a very interesting phenomenon to observe as they begin to tackle their own GCSE issues. I am also governor of a local secondary school and thus feel able to contribute to education from a governance, tutor and parent's perspective, all in one go!
