Tutor Profile

Shabnam

Private Physics and Maths Tutor in Reigate

I am a full-time tutor with an MSc in Civil Engineering from Tehran University, Iran. I was born and raised in Iran and moved to the UK in 2006. Since then, I’ve built a life in Reigate with my husband and three daughters, aged 18, 16, and 13.

Teaching Experience

I have been teaching since 1997, beginning my journey as a tutor at 18. After moving to the UK in 2006, I resumed tutoring in 2007 and have been teaching consistently ever since. Over the past 29 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students across all age groups, from young children in primary school to university graduates. In Iran, from 1997 to 2006, I taught Maths and Physics, guiding students through their school years and exam preparation. Since 2007, I have been teaching in the UK, specializing in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Farsi. Throughout my career, I’ve helped countless students prepare for exams, develop a solid understanding of complex topics, and grow in confidence as independent learners.

As well as offering in-person tuition, I have been tutoring online via Zoom and other online tutoring platforms since 2018, giving me extensive experience in delivering engaging and effective virtual lessons. During each lesson, all of my explanations and worked examples are clearly displayed on screen, and I can also see my students' working in real time. This enables me to provide immediate feedback and correct mistakes as they occur.

I can provide general study and revision skills, as well as preparation for examinations including the 11+, 13+, GCSEs, A Levels, the Oxford Physics Aptitude Test (PAT), and the UK Junior and Intermediate Maths Challenges.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is patient, personalized, and deeply focused on each student’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, take risks, and explore difficult concepts. In my view, private tutoring is incredibly effective in raising a student’s attainment, as it provides tailored attention and targeted support. With this confidence, I am committed to delivering first-class tuition in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Farsi at all levels, ensuring that every student can achieve their best academic outcomes.

My daughter is studying A-level Maths and, for additional support, is being tutored by Shabnam. My daughter lacks confidence and speed in her maths, and Shabnam has been really helpful in supporting her with both of these areas. She explains things clearly and patiently, which has helped my daughter feel more confident in her approach. Shabnam has a warm, friendly and personable manner, which immediately puts my daughter at ease. She is also very flexible, which has been much appreciated on occasions when my daughter has been unable to attend at the scheduled time. We’ve been very pleased with the support she has provided.

Shabnam is excellent. She has been tutoring my son for his A Level Physics and has made a noticeable difference to his grades, his application and his enthusiasm for the subject. I have been very impressed and she has also gone beyond to make sure that he has access to the past papers, can ask questions and has a strong understanding of each topic. Thank you!

Shabnam has a lovely, caring manor. My son has just achieved a 9 in Statistics GCSE. She is understanding and flexible. Shabnam has built my sons confidence in maths and is always willing to go above and beyond.
