Hello! My name is Fatima and I am a second year at UCL, studying maths with economics. I've always loved maths because it's such a multifaceted subject and has countless applications. Not only that but studying maths has helped to refine my logic and problem solving skills, which are of great importance to me.

Outside of maths, I love to paint and regularly take drawing lessons as part of art society at university.

Firstly, I'd like to get to know the students and find out their strengths and weaknesses and will then shape the lessons around topics that students feel less confident about. We'll work through real exam questions, so that the students are familiar with the type of problems they will face in the exams.

I believe that progress should not only be measured by increasing marks on past papers but also through students feeling more confident in working through questions by themselves with as little help as possible. This is why I'd expect students to do a couple (not too many!) problems outside of lessons to see if they have improved their understanding. We'll then got through those problems in the lesson if they struggled and if not, we will move on to something more challenging.

For me, the strategy that helped me most during my exams was doing as many past papers as possible and going to my teachers for help with the questions that I struggled with.
