Specialized tutoring for maths, physics and chemistry A-Level's and GCSE's. I like to fuse better exam performances (improving exam techniques for example) with a deeper understanding of the subject.

"Give a student proper exam technique, and you teach him for a test. Teach a student to think, and you teach him for a lifetime." Both approaches are valid, but I believe I add substantial value to students education by developing a deeper understanding of a subject in addition to testing practice.

I also provide general problem solving tutoring beneficial for professional tests, school entry exams and those who just want to improve their critical thinking.

About Me
My Profile:
I love science; apparently I talk about it too much according to my girlfriend. Currently studying towards my PhD, I have been through the education system and understand the value of personalized learning. "Give a student better exam technique, and you teach him for a test. Teach a man to think, and you teach him for a lifetime." Good exam technique is important, but I like to add value to a students education by improving their understanding of the subject matter.

Students profile:
I solely look for students with positive attitudes. With this I believe I can add value to a students education, whatever their goal or ability.

Relevant experience:
-Teaching Assistant for a universities first year engineering class (Imperial College London).
-Tutored 11 year old maths for St Paul's school entry exam.
-IOP Publishing, Student Contributor.

Yong
Im Yong Zhi, a 2nd-year Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at Imperial College London, with a strong academic background in mathematics and physical sciences. I achieved 4 A* grades at A-Level, including a Top In The World award for Mathematics, and I was awarded the Dean’s List in my first year at Imperial (top 5% of the cohort).

I have over a year of online tutoring experience, specialising in GCSE and A-Level Maths and Physics, as well as admissions-focused preparation for highly competitive exams such as ESAT and Oxbridge/Imperial entrance pathways. I was also a teaching assistant for first year students for my course. I was a lab assistant, teaching students safe and pragmatic lab practices so that they could learn how to use equipment and build circuits effectively.

My approach focuses on building deep conceptual understanding alongside strong exam technique. I prioritise helping students become confident problem-solvers rather than relying on memorisation, and I tailor each session to the student’s specific weaknesses and exam goals.

For exam preparation, I emphasise:

Breaking down difficult topics into clear, structured steps
Developing efficient problem-solving strategies under time pressure
Targeted practice using past-paper style questions
Improving accuracy, speed, and exam confidence

Whether the goal is securing top GCSE/A-Level grades or preparing for competitive university admissions, I aim to provide structured, high-impact support that is focused on measurable improvement.
