About Shaami
Hello! I'm Shaami, a First-Class Master of Physics graduate from the University of Leeds, where I ranked in the top 5% of my cohort and excelled in advanced modules like Maths (92%) and Quantum Physics (84%). With A grades in A-Level Physics, Chemistry, and Maths—plus prestigious awards such as the Robin Harwood Prize for top physics student—I've built a strong foundation in rigorous scientific thinking. My professional experience as a Risk/Data Scientist at Lloyds Banking Group honed my analytical skills through developing regulatory models and delivering training programmes, while my hands-on mentoring of secondary school students has already helped many achieve top GCSE grades in maths and science. As a dedicated tutor, I bring professionalism, patience, and a proven track record of fostering success, ensuring every session is structured, supportive, and tailored to help you excel with confidence.

My Approach to Tutoring
As a passionate educator with a strong foundation in physics and mathematics, I focus on building confidence and deep understanding in my students through tailored, engaging sessions. My tutoring is designed to make complex concepts accessible and enjoyable, drawing from my academic and professional background to provide real-world context.
Techniques and Teaching Methodology
I employ an interactive, student-centred methodology that emphasises active learning and problem-solving. Sessions begin with a quick review of prior knowledge to identify gaps, followed by clear explanations of key concepts using visual aids, analogies, and real-life examples—such as applying physics principles to automotive mechanics or data analysis from my risk modelling experience. I incorporate computational tools like Python for simulations where relevant, inspired by my dissertation project on image analysis for microfluidic studies. Techniques include:
Scaffolded problem-solving: Breaking down questions into steps, guiding students to derive solutions independently.
Customised exercises: Tailored worksheets and past exam questions to reinforce learning, with immediate feedback.
Encouraging critical thinking: Promoting questions and discussions to foster curiosity, similar to how I mentored students to achieve top GCSE grades.
Adaptability: Adjusting pace and style based on individual needs, whether visual, auditory, or kinaesthetic learners.
Typical Length of a Lesson
Lessons are typically 60 minutes long, allowing focused coverage of topics without overwhelming the student. This can be extended to 90 minutes for intensive revision sessions or shortened to 45 minutes for younger learners. I offer flexibility, including back-to-back sessions for exam prep.
My Qualifications/Experience as a Tutor
I hold a First-Class Master of Physics (MPhys, BSc Hons) from the University of Leeds, where I excelled in quantitative modules like Advanced Quantum Physics (84%) and Maths 3 (92%), ranking in the top 5% of my cohort. My A-Levels include A grades in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, with prizes for highest achievement in physics, statistics, and scientific methods. Professionally, I've delivered a week-long training programme on Python and data science at Lloyds Banking Group, upskilling colleagues in analytical techniques. As a tutor, I have hands-on experience mentoring secondary school students in maths and science, helping them secure top GCSE grades through one-on-one coaching that honed my communication skills.
Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are ideal for secondary school students aged 14-18, focusing on GCSE and A-Level Maths and Physics. Whether you're struggling with foundational concepts, aiming for top grades, or preparing for university entrance exams, I cater to all abilities—from beginners needing basics to advanced learners tackling complex problems.
