Tony (Yu) Zhang

Highly qualified and experienced tutor, specialising in 11+ entrance exams, GCSE, and A-Level Mathematics and Computing. With a PhD in Engineering Algorithms and a bachelor's degree in engineering, I bring a structured, analytical, and results-driven approach to tutoring.

My extensive experience includes successfully guiding students through competitive entrance exams and mentoring GCSE and A-Level students to excel in Mathematics and Computing. Having personally guided both my daughter and son through the 11+ process, securing placements at Tiffin Girls’ School and Tiffin School, I understand the challenges of selective school admissions. My teaching approach is tailored to each student’s strengths and weaknesses, ensuring they gain confidence, speed, and mastery in exam techniques. My students have successfully gained admission to top independent and grammar schools.

In addition to 11+ tutoring, I provide GCSE and A-Level Mathematics and Computing tutoring, focusing on conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and exam strategies, helping students achieve top grades.
