Tutor Profile

Sharando Marvin

GCSE & A-level Maths and Economics Tutor with 9 year experience

I am an experienced private tutor with over nine years of teaching experience, helping students of all ages and abilities build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Mathematics from University of Bristol, which provides me with a strong analytical foundation and deep subject knowledge, particularly in mathematics and related disciplines. I also have a L3 Award in Education and Training. Throughout my tutoring career, I have developed a particular specialism in supporting learners with neurodiverse minds, including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other learning difficulties.

My approach is highly personalised, patient, and strengths-based. I understand that every student processes information differently, so I adapt my teaching methods to suit each individual’s learning style, pace, and interests. I keep lessons engaging by incorporating interactive activities, real-world examples, visual aids, and varied teaching techniques that maintain focus and make challenging concepts more accessible and enjoyable. This may involve breaking complex topics into manageable steps, using structured routines, and tailoring sessions around each student's interests to build motivation and confidence.

Many of my students go on to exceed their predicted and expected grades, often achieving results that reflect not only stronger subject knowledge but also greater confidence and independence in their learning.

Over the past nine years, I have helped students improve not only their academic performance but also their self-esteem and enjoyment of learning. I aim to create a calm, supportive environment where students feel understood, empowered, and capable of reaching their full potential.

Tutoring Approach

I use a variety of techniques to engage and enhance the learning of my tutees. A typical session would involve a short introduction to a topic followed by one or two examples, leading on to a question being set. When setting questions I seek to probe students into thinking what if they had asked X instead of Y or what would I need to find Z. I believe that analysis and evaluation are the best tools a student can possess in any subject, my sessions focus on deep understanding to enable each student to be able to push themselves and really hit those high grades. Particularly in Maths, there are usually multiple ways of reaching a correct answer, I find it best to take students through different methods and let them compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each through their own reasoning.

Sharando helped to prep my son for his A level economics exams this year. My son found his input helpful in revising for the exams. Booking sessions was easy and he was tutored online. Technology failed a few times with connectivity dropping out occasionally, but overall the sessions were very helpful. Hopefully his exam results will be good! Thank you Sharando.

First Tutors

Sharando is an excellent tutor, and has really helped me understand the fundamentals of A Level maths. He is very thorough with explaining topics and is very good at breaking down hard concepts. He is also very open to helping me outside of my allocated tutoring sessions by allowing me to send him questions or concepts that I need assistance with. Overall, my confidence in maths has improved significantly since having him as my tutor and my grades in maths have also improved.
