About Sumaya
I am an experienced tutor who is dedicated to supporting my students achieve their potential. I have 11 years’ experience supporting students on both a one-to-one basis and in groups. I have helped my 11+ students achieve entrance into Slough Grammar School, Herschel Grammar School, Queen Mary's Grammar School and more. Additionally, I have helped my GCSE students achieve the highest grades of 8/9s. I strongly believe “one size doesn’t fit all.” I use a person-centred approach to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, I believe in using scientifically approved study techniques such as spaced repetition and active recall. Using these techniques ensures that students don’t just memorise the content but develop a deep and meaningful connection to it that ensures they achieve the best possible grade. I believe that each student has intellectual potential but may need help cultivating it to allow it to bloom. I keep myself abreast of all new developments across all the curriculums so I can best inform my students. My teaching style is borne from my approach to my own education. I am currently studying Medicine MBBS. My passion for supporting younger generations has led me to become an aspiring Paediatrician as I truly believe they are our future and deserve to be safeguarded. My study techniques, discipline and dedication help me attain over 80% in my exams and remain within the top decile of my cohort. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology obtained in 2018. I have used the principles of Psychology such as Learning, Personality differences, Behaviour modifying models to guide my approaches to supporting my students. I have developed a wealth of resources over my teaching years that I utilise to provide the best learning experience for all my students. I use a mixture of interesting examples, videos, questions, scenarios, and peer-to-peer teaching to keep my students learning and engaged. I use a person-centred approach to my teaching. I always arrange an initial letter to assess each student, sometimes seeking testimonials from parents and guardians if needed. I adapt my approach to suit each student, each level and in line with their academic goals. I have created benchmarking tools that I use to track students’ progress, create recommendations, and adjust lesson plans. I aim to help my students develop the independent thinking and learning skills that will help them achieve their academic dreams. My personable, trustworthy, and approachable demeanour ensures my students enjoy my classes. My students always feel supported while also developing independent learning skills that will benefit them beyond their education. I aim for satisfaction for all.

I utilise a person-centred approach when working with each student. How I teach depends on how you learn. We'll revisit the plan as and when needed. I teach students how to use scientifically ratified techniques to improve understanding and knowledge retention.
