A bit about Amna

I am a scientist with a PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering and an A-level chemistry examiner. I am an expert tutor for GCSE/IGCSE, A-level, IB (SL and HL), and SAT II chemistry with 12 years of teaching and lab research experience. - IB chemistry (SL, HL) - A-level chemistry - GCSE/IGCSE chemistry only - SAT II chemistry - AP chemistry My lessons will be adapted to your needs. During the first lesson, we usually go through a short diagnostic test together (based on the curriculum you're studying). This helps me to identify your strengths and weaknesses and to create a personalised study plan for you. I started tutoring high school students back in 2008, when I was a university undergraduate. When I got accepted to a PhD program, I spent a lot of time doing biomedical lab research and supervising university students. The time I spent in the lab is now extremely helpful for my tutoring as I can share real research and academic experience with my students. In 2018, I started teaching chemistry online full time. As a teacher I chose to specialise in specific curricula, which are IB, A-level, GCSE/IGCSE, SAT II, AP chemistry. I do not teach students younger than 14 years old, I do not teach college students, I do not teach undergraduates. This strategy allows me to hone my teaching program to achieve the maximum grade increase in the shortest time frame. The key to my students success is: 1. The perfect study plan (knowing what you really need to know for the exam is 50% of the success) 2. Simple explanations of difficult concepts 3. Lots of practice of exam-style questions with rigorous explanations My students' reviews from other platforms: === Aysha === 5* May 14, 2023 Before I started having chemistry lessons with Amna my understating of the subject was very limited. Even though we started having lessons only a month before my IBDP Chemistry exams, we managed to go through the entire syllabus. Amna has great materials, is extremely knowledgeable, and she made sure that we studied at a pace that I was comfortable with, which I really appreciated. Thank you! === Leen === 5* May 11, 2023 I started off my IB chemistry journey with very low grades and i couldn’t understand anything. After i started my lessons with Mrs.Amna i started to see a major difference in my performance. The notes that she provided helped me a lot during my revision for the world exam and i would really recommend her for other struggling IB chemistry students. === Mounia === 5* March 12, 2023 Best chemistry tutor you will find. Amna is really good at meeting you where you are and lifting you up. She makes even the hardest topics easy to understand and she is so well prepared for every class ===Erum=== 5* January 7, 2023 Amna is an excellent Chemistry tutor. I required extra support with As and A level AQA Chem, as I found some concepts difficult to grasp. I am so glad that I found Amna. Being taught by Amna was a blessing, she manages to prepare great material and tailor the teaching method to suit your learning style. Amna helps simplify tasks which can seem confusing, especially organic chem and nomenclature, as well as physical chemistry and inorganic. I believe Amna has played a huge role in helping boost my grades to meet the Uni requirements to study my chosen Uni course. Thank you Amna ===Kiran=== 5* September 5, 2022 Amna was the best support throughout my IB experience. With a detailed approach to breaking down complex topics for me to understand the content. Helping me achieve a 7 in Chemistry SL- something I thought was not possible for me. Highly recommend!! :) ===Asia=== 5* August 19, 2022 Honestly I was very scared about starting to learn chemistry again as I didn't remember it as my favourite subject, but with Amna I really enjoyed it and waited for every lesson! I could easily understand everything and I always had fun :DD I will also mention that I felt comfortable during the lessons, in my school I often felt discouraged to learn as my teachers would shame me for not knowing something, but with Amna even if I forgot something she would just explain it again and say that it's alright and that with practice I will get there! ===Wanda=== 5* June 11, 2022 Best chemistry tutor ever!!! :)) She helped me so much and always explains things so clearly! She will always make sure that you truly understand a topic before moving on so you don't get confused. Even if you don't understand one way, she will try to find another way to explain it to you! She is really funny and friendly and also has perfect notes XD ===Tim=== 5* May 30, 2022 Amna was an excellent From C to A in less than 3 months with 1 lesson per week. 1. PhD in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering 2. MSc in Biophysics - IB chemistry (SL and HL) - A-level chemistry - GCSE and IGCSE chemistry
