A bit about Mojdeh

As a Research & Development Chemist and a qualified secondary science teacher, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the world of online tutoring. My expertise lies in Chemistry, where I excel in teaching students at the KS3, GCSE, and A-level stages. Additionally, I am skilled in teaching Biology and Physics at the KS3 to GCSE levels. With my unique combination of real-world experience and teaching qualifications, I am the perfect guide for students looking to master the fascinating world of science. Hello, and welcome to my online tutoring profile! I am a Chemistry expert with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and a wealth of experience in the field. I have worked as a qualified science teacher in secondary schools for 4 years, as a Research & Development Chemist for a global decorative paint company for 6 years, and have been an online tutor for the past 3 years. My passion for teaching Chemistry began at the age of 15 when my science teacher challenged me to improve my grades. I taught myself from a CGP revision guide and fell in love with the subject, even teaching my friends during lunch breaks. Seeing them improve their grades from an F to a C was incredibly rewarding, and I knew then that I had a natural gift for teaching others and passing on my knowledge. I find it extremely fulfilling to inspire young people to explore the fascinating world of science and love seeing my students gain confidence in the subject during our lessons! My lessons are structured like a 3-course menu, designed to engage and challenge you at every step. We’ll start with a Starter, where I’ll introduce the subject we’ll be learning and assess your prior knowledge. This is a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to tailor the lesson to your needs. Next, we’ll move on to the Main course, where we’ll dive into the new concepts and explore them in depth. I’ll ask you lots of questions to test your understanding and help you build a strong foundation in the subject. Finally, we’ll finish with Dessert, where we’ll apply what you’ve learned to exam-style questions and see how much you’ve really absorbed. This is the fun part, where you get to show off your knowledge and see how far you’ve come! My teaching style is interactive and pupil-centered, which means that my students are encouraged to lead the direction of the lesson and actively participate in their own learning. I ask open-ended questions throughout the lesson and give my students the opportunity to solve problems on their own before providing guidance. I also challenge my students to think outside the box and use everyday applications of science to connect the dots. One of my favorite techniques is to encourage my students to come up with their own analogies to remember complicated scientific concepts. My students love the real-life examples I use to explain scientific concepts, as they are relatable and often humorous. I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and I strive to create an interactive environment where my students are actively participating rather than passively listening. Fitness is a big part of my life, as I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself both mentally and physically. Exercise helps me manage stress and focus better, and I am currently exploring the world of Cross-Fit to push my limits even further. Cooking is another passion of mine, and I love experimenting with new recipes and finding the perfect balance of flavours. As a true chemist at heart, I enjoy working out the right ratios to create delicious dishes. Science is also a major interest of mine, and I am an avid fan of The New Scientist podcast and keeping up with the latest scientific developments. I find that sharing these with my students during lessons helps them link what they are learning to a wider perspective and deepens their understanding of the subject.
