Hi, my name is Didi and I'm a second year design engineering student at the University of Bath.

I have previously run a weekly help desk for year 7s, as well as tutoring somebody in Maths, and of course helping my little sister with any homework that she gets stuck on! I love problem solving and the feeling you get when you finally understand a complex subject or finish a long maths question. My teachers were great at explaining things to me and I hope to be able to pass this on.

Having received a B and a C in my A level mocks I know what its like to struggle through the topics and feel like you are never going to understand it. But with hard work and help from my tutors I ended up with an A* in both of those subjects (Physics and Further Maths).

As well as the normal public examinations I also did the UKCC maths challenge (gold) and the Cambridge chemistry challenge (bronze).

I like to be given the topic that you are stuck on before our session so I can read up on it and what is needed for your syllabus, this means that I am fully prepared to help you. I find the best way to learn and understand something is by using examples and going through questions. I will use diagrams and drawings to help explain challenging concepts and try and make the sessions fun but useful. I understand that everyone learns differently and so each sessions is tailored to every individual.

If you are working towards GCSEs or A levels we will spend some time going through past papers so that you fully understand what the questions are asking you and what the exam board expects.
