Asim Abbas

I am a medically qualified doctor and academic researcher working in the NHS, with extensive experience in teaching, mentoring, and supporting students at different stages of their education. Alongside my clinical training in General Surgery, I am actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research supervision, and academic writing.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s individual needs, goals, and learning style. I teach GCSE and A-level Biology, support medical school applicants and medical students, and provide structured coaching in study skills, exam preparation, and academic confidence. I also work with university students who want to improve their organisation, motivation, and performance.

Each session is carefully planned and has clear objectives. We begin by identifying strengths, gaps in knowledge, and specific areas for improvement. I then provide clear explanations, use practical examples, and encourage active discussion to ensure concepts are fully understood. Sessions include guided practice, exam-style questions, and regular feedback to help students apply what they have learned.
Alongside subject teaching, I focus strongly on developing effective learning strategies. This includes revision planning, time management, note-taking techniques, exam technique, and stress management. My aim is to help students become confident, independent learners who can perform well under pressure.

My teaching style is supportive, structured, and evidence-based. I aim to create a calm, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves. I take pride in helping students not only improve their grades, but also develop long-term skills that will benefit them throughout their education and future careers.
