Farhana is an experienced Mathematics educator currently teaching at one of Toronto’s leading private schools. She previously served as Head of Mathematics at another school and holds an Engineering degree from Assumption University of Thailand and a master’s degree from Framingham University.

Having completed both GCSE and A Level Mathematics herself, Farhana brings a strong understanding of the curriculum, examination structure, and academic expectations students face. She has experience tutoring GCSE and A Level students and has also taught these programs in a school setting.

Her teaching approach goes beyond simply completing questions. She focuses on helping students understand the mathematics behind each method, develop strong problem solving habits, communicate their reasoning clearly, and approach examinations with confidence and effective technique.

Farhana believes that every student can improve in Mathematics with the right structure, guidance, practice, and encouragement. She has particular experience supporting students who need to strengthen their foundations as well as those aiming for the highest grades.

In addition to GCSE and A Level Mathematics, Farhana has extensive experience teaching senior high school Mathematics, including IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation. She is also an IB Mathematics examiner who assesses Internal Assessments, giving her a strong understanding of mathematical communication, assessment standards, and what distinguishes high quality student work.

Her goal is to help students become confident, independent mathematicians who understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how to perform at their best in examinations.

Dr Rahul C holds a PhD in Physics, specialising in Hadron Physics (Phenomenology), and has over 7 years of teaching experience across the Cambridge and IB curricula, including 5 years of IGCSE Physics and 2 years of full time AS & A Level Physics teaching. He has extensive experience preparing students for Cambridge examinations through a strong focus on conceptual understanding, problem-solving, practical skills, and effective exam technique.

His students have consistently achieved outstanding results, including A* grades in IGCSE Physics and excellent performances in AS & A Level examinations. Dr C has successfully mentored students through investigative practical work, coursework, and advanced physics problem-solving, helping them build both confidence and academic excellence.

Holding Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), England, Dr C combines deep subject expertise with inquiry based teaching strategies and a clear understanding of Cambridge assessment expectations. As an accomplished researcher, he has published multiple papers in international peer reviewed journals and presented his research at academic institutions and conferences in France and the USA.

Dr. Mirela Z is an experienced international educator and curriculum specialist with a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction and extensive teaching experience across the United Kingdom, United States, Europe, and Asia. She has taught secondary and university-level students and specializes in English language development, academic writing, literacy, reading comprehension, and preparation for advanced academic study.

Dr. Z supports students working at GCSE/GCE and A-Level English standards, with particular emphasis on the skills assessed within major UK and international examination frameworks, including Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and AQA. Her instruction focuses on the core competencies students need for these examinations: close reading, text and language analysis, interpretation, comparative analysis, essay planning, evidence-based argument, vocabulary, grammar, and accurate written expression.

Her secondary-level teaching experience includes working with students from diverse linguistic and academic backgrounds and preparing learners for increasingly demanding academic coursework. She provides targeted support with examination-style reading and writing tasks, analytical responses, structured essays, revision strategies, and timed practice. For A-Level students, she places particular emphasis on developing sophisticated analysis, independent interpretation, well-supported arguments, and the academic writing skills required for progression to university.

Dr. Z has also designed and taught university-level courses in English for Academic Purposes, academic and business communication, and content-based English instruction. This experience enables her to help GCSE and A-Level students bridge the gap between examination preparation and the independent reading, writing, and critical-thinking expectations of higher education.

Her tutoring is individualized and data-informed. She identifies each student's strengths and areas for improvement and uses targeted practice, clear explanations, constructive feedback, and measurable learning goals. Her approach is particularly effective for multilingual and international students who may understand academic content well but need additional support expressing complex ideas confidently and accurately in English.

Dr. Z's goal is not simply to help students prepare for an examination, but to develop confident, independent learners with strong analytical and communication skills. She creates a supportive and engaging learning environment in which GCSE/GCE and A-Level students can strengthen their examination performance while developing skills that will serve them throughout university and beyond.

Andra P graduated from Bocconi University with a BSc in International Economics and Management and is now beginning her Master’s in Management at London Business School. She achieved 9 A*s in her IGCSEs and has several years of tutoring experience, particularly in Mathematics, Economics and Geography.

Andra is familiar with the GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level curricula and focuses her tutoring on building strong subject knowledge alongside the exam skills students need to perform at their best. Her lessons place particular emphasis on breaking down difficult concepts, working through exam-style and past-paper questions, and developing effective problem-solving and revision strategies.

She adapts her teaching to each student’s level, syllabus and individual goals, with the aim of making lessons both rigorous and approachable. Andra believes that strong results come from a combination of clear understanding, consistent practice and confidence, and she works to ensure that students feel supported and increasingly independent in their learning.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Mathematics from IBA, Karachi, where I graduated with a CGPA of 3.72. Since 2016, I have been engaged in teaching Mathematics at the O and A Level, both in-person and remotely.

Over the years, I have developed proficiency in delivering instruction across various international curricula, including:

CAIE (IGCSE & A Level)

Singapore Math

American Curriculum (Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus)

In addition to curriculum-based teaching, I prepare students for standardized tests such as the DSAT (Digital SAT) Math section, and coach students for international mathematics competitions, including IKMC and SASMO.

I have been conducting online classes since 2017 using platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet, and am fully equipped to manage virtual instruction effectively. I am passionate about creating engaging, concept-focused learning environments that cater to diverse student needs.
