About Stephen
When I was studying the sciences at my school in Oxford, UK I initially found the lessons to be fairly boring. I was always good at remembering the information, but I never got excited by it.
In 10th Standard I had a teacher called Mr. Oaks. He didn't just read off the information that we needed to know, but instead got us to think for ourselves. Instead of training us for an exam, he trained my brain to think critically, to always question why something happens and give me the confidence to answer my own questions.
It was thanks to him that I fell in love with the sciences and why I've taught them to students from 8th to 12th standard for the last 18 years.
During this time I've taught a wide range of students, from class toppers to students who have struggled in class and who don't have any interest in a career in science. I have also been fortunate to have many neurodivergent students, and so have developed several techniques that are very helpful for students with: ADHD, aspergers, higher-functioning autism, social anxiety and dyslexia.

In a typical 1 hour session we will typically have:
a 5 minute quiz on the previous session
5 minutes outlining the new topic and how it fits into the curriculum.
40 minutes discussing the main topic, starting with what the student already knows and building up from that.
10 minutes looking over MCQs on the topic(s) just covered.
I believe that tutoring sessions shouldn't be a lecture, I'll never just 'read from the books' at my students. Instead I will engage and question my students, trying to get them to be able to explain the reasoning behind scientific concepts with me as a guide, rather than a lecturer.
My philosophy of ensuring that we start and end with a recap has proved very useful in ensuring that my students fully understand each topic, and we are able to immediately find any gaps in their knowledge and fill them in efficiently.

My daughter, Aarti, was taught by Mr. Stephen for 3 months. From the very beginning he maintained an engaging and inclusive learning environment which brought about an enthusiasm in Aarti to learn the subject.
He excels in communication and after truly understanding the academic needs of Aarti and the areas she was required to focus on, he tailored lessons accordingly.
I would highly recommend him as an educator that has positively impacted my child's education and actively kept me as a parent involved every step of the way. His dedication to teaching has contributed to the love of learning the subject in her.I have never been as happy as I am now after taking Stephen's classes. All those complex topics which never made any sense to me are now so easy to learn. Can't thank you enough for making chemistry simpler for me. I can proudly say I love chemistry now.
Stephen's ability to demystify complex topics and foster a deep understanding is truly remarkable.Stephen is one of those people who explains even the complex topic in such an easy way that it's stuck with you forever. I personally never liked chemistry but ever since I have got Stephen as my tutor my life has become a lot easier. He uses visual aids and real-life analogies to explain the topics. Stephen's ability to demystify complex topics and foster a deep understanding is truly remarkable.
My son , Shivansh has drastically improved in studies after joining Stephen Sir . He is amongst the toppers in his class . Sir Stephen has a great grasp over the subject and he knows how to patiently deal with the student .
