Alisha Rizwan

Hi! I'm Alisha: a really engaging, positive, patient tutor. I have always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and being a tutor allows me to pursue this dream around a schedule (I'm in my 2nd year at UCL studying English literature). I know that feeling of finally getting something you've been struggling with for a while and achieving something that felt impossible and limited to your wildest dreams. I want to share those feelings with my students. I always begin my tutoring lessons with some active recall of previously learnt topics to ensure absolute confidence and facilitate mastery of the topic. Forgetting is normal, making recap essential! I provide example responses, top tips, explain common student misconceptions so they don't trip you up! I always ask follow-up questions and ensure students feel comfortable and not judged when they ask questions. I give multiple examples before asking the student to walk me through a similar question. I aim to expose students to as many different questions styles as possible. Typical length of a lesson: 1 hour. I have tutored for 3 years and my students have gone on to achieve great things. Lessons are for GCSE Maths students.
