Tutoring Experience
Secondary School, Further Education and Independent Sector. I mainly work with long-term students in order to improve their current progress. Therefore, commitment is a minimum of one school term or the last invoiced lesson. Lessons take place in a library or on Zoom, as I am not a home/travelling tutor. Invoices are issued monthly and are payable in advance via bank transfer only. Please read client reviews to decide if tuition is for you as trial lessons are not offered, the minimum booking requirement is four lessons.
Tutoring Approach
One-one tutoring through explanation, problem solving, case studies, past exam papers and discussions. Support with examination writing technique on application, analysis and evaluation - in particular with A level and GCSE candidates who are seeking to gain A/A*.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Dr Yasmin's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Yasmin is a most wonderful tutor. She knows the syllabus like the back of her hand, and is extremely helpful for not only content but exam technique. She has an inspiring delivery. Couldn't recommend her more.

We have been so pleased with Yasmin’s support for my daughter in A-level Economics. She has greatly improved my daughter’s confidence in exam technique and answering questions, with noticeable and rapid progress. Yasmin explains concepts very clearly and provides a wide range of resources to help with understanding. She is patient, kind, and highly experienced with the exam requirements and syllabus. Yasmin also takes the time to assess where focus is needed and gives clear, targeted guidance. She is an empathetic listener when advice has been needed, and it is clear that she genuinely cares about my daughter’s achievement and success. I would highly recommend Yasmin to any student looking for both academic improvement and supportive encouragement.

We are incredibly grateful for the support and guidance Yasmin has provided to our daughter in her economics studies. Since starting lessons with her, she has developed a deep understanding of the subject, gained confidence, and most importantly, discovered a real passion for economics. Her progress has been remarkable—she is now consistently achieving very high marks and approaching her studies with enthusiasm. Yasmin has a fantastic ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging way, making the subject both accessible and enjoyable. Their teaching style is structured yet flexible, ensuring that lessons are tailored to her needs while also challenging her to think critically and apply her knowledge effectively. Thank you, Yasmin, for your dedication and exceptional teaching—we highly recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding economics tutor!

Yasmin has been an amazing economics tutor for me and has been patient and understanding when I have struggled with certain topics. I am definitely able to see the impact Yasmin has had as it is reflected in what I achieved in my final A-level grade. She has helped me in both understanding the content and my essay writing techniques, which was extremely helpful and has led to me achieving much higher grades. I would highly recommend Yasmin, as I am always looking forward to our weekly lessons and not only has she helped me out in economics but also in my UCAS personal statement process!!!

Yasmin was an excellent teacher/tutor for my home schooled son. She covered the iGCSE Economics curriculum and prepared him for the exams in less than a year. He did very well under her steady guidance. She clearly knew how best to get him through the work, and he really enjoyed the subject. She is a very good tutor.

I struggled in the beginning of Year 12 with understanding all the concepts. Yasmin is good at explaining and patient. In our sessions we focused on exam practice in timed conditions allowing me to feel comfortable and confident when answering higher marked questions. I like how Yasmin went through the answers with me explaining the reasons. Yasmin is very organised in her sessions. I can highly recommend Yasmin. I’m still continuing with Yasmin at Uni.

Yasmin has been tutoring my son for A level Economics . She is very approachable and her sessions are always well prepared, attentive and genuine. My son has immediately grasped where to focus for maximum gain and is already building my sons confidence and enjoyment for the subject. We feel fortunate to have found Yasmin and thereby warrants the highest endorsement.

Yasmin has been an amazing source of support for my daughter throughout. She is now sitting her Economics A-Level exams and has felt much more prepared since her tutoring sessions with Yasmin started. She is very professional, responsive and has made my daughter feel at ease from the start. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone and when my son starts his A-Levels I will be sure to contact Yasmin again!

Yasmin is the best tutor I have ever encountered. She has improved my daughter’s grade from E to B in both Economics and Business Studies and has also improved my daughter’s attitude to study.

I would highly recommend Yasmin as a tutor. Her knowledge is excellent, and she is very helpful in explaining topics. What is more, she has an understanding of what examiners are looking for from her experience marking papers that helped me hugely. I would also like to say a personal thank you to Yasmin, as she tutored me at short notice, long distance, and fitting it into my schedule. At all times she provided excellent tutoring. She really is wonderful in her subjects, with exams, and in supporting learners. Thank you very much!

Yasmin tutored me for A-Level Economics from September 2018 to June 2019 as I got a C grade the year before and wanted to improve vastly in my retakes. Yasmin is a very patient and skilled tutor. We mostly worked on exam technique and essay writing, but also worked on content in areas I was patchy on. I completed exam questions as homework every week and we went through these questions in our sessions to work out where my strengths and weaknesses are - however, she is very flexible in the format of these tutor sessions so you are able to get what you want out of the service. The work we did saw quick improvement in my writing and the grades I was receiving. Due to her examiner experience, she was able to critique my work critically and constructively to ensure maximum improvement and confidence in my writing. Yasmin was also very flexible with our lessons, for example, when I was too ill to travel to Cambridge to meet in person, we had [contact details hidden — unlock to view] sessions where she marked the work in front of me or went through powerpoints that I was able to download to keep as resources for revision. Yasmin's tutoring service and the support she provided for me ensured I felt confident going into my exams this year and whatever the end result in August, my progress in the subject and my overall exam technique has come leaps and bounds. I would highly recommend Yasmin.

I don’t have adequate words to express how invaluable Yasmin’s assistance was to my daughter Tiri . If you are looking for a top of the rank tutor who is kind , passionate , goes out of her way to accommodate your child’s timetable , then look no further for Yasmin is the right person for you . Because of her kindness and attention to details , she helped my daughter build so much confidence in AQA IGCSE business to the extend that she has been working towards a Grade 9 and she says that Yasmin did all that one could humanly do to prepare her towards achieving such a Grade . One thing, is certain , if my daughter ends up doing economics at A level , Yasmin will definitely be her tutor . Yasmin - can’t thank you enough for your work with Tiri . You are such a blessing . Be abundantly blessed for your positive contribution to those fortunate enough to have you as their tutor .

Yasmin has tutored my son in A Level Economics for over a year. A first rate tutor, she has brought his grades up to an A/A* bracket. Always organised and reliable, Yasmin is extremely knowledgeable and has a close understanding of syllabus and examination board requirements. Her teaching approach is flexible, working with tutee to consider individual needs and requirements, but focused within a realistic framework to achieve best results. Yasmin provides good communication and feedback to parents and is always quick to respond; I would highly recommend.
