Dr Nayim P.

I am a Cambridge Mathematics graduate and experienced online Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics tutor with ten years of private tutoring and teaching experience.

I studied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, completed an MSc in High-Energy Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and am completing doctoral research in energy policy at UCL. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) and a published academic.

I achieved five A*s at A-level in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, including full marks across my Mathematics and Further Mathematics modules.

I specialise particularly in A-level and IB Mathematics, Further Mathematics, STEP, MAT and advanced mathematical problem-solving. I also teach GCSE/IGCSE Mathematics, Physics, Digital SAT Mathematics, AP material, 11+ and other selective school and university entrance examinations.

Students I have supported have gone on to universities including Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, UCL, King's College London, Durham, Princeton, Harvard and MIT. I have also supported successful MAT and STEP candidates who subsequently went on to read Mathematics at Oxford and Cambridge.

My teaching experience extends beyond private tutoring. I taught Mathematics and Further Mathematics at City of London Academy Highbury Grove from Years 10–13, including contributing to the structure of the A-level curriculum. I have also contributed to entrance-examination and summer-school design and taught at university level, including at UCL and New York University Abu Dhabi.

My approach begins with diagnosis. I identify whether a student's progress is being limited by missing foundations, weak algebra, difficulty recognising which method applies, examination technique or confidence with unfamiliar questions. I then build a structured plan around those particular needs.

I focus on understanding and independent problem-solving rather than simply demonstrating solutions. Students are expected to explain their reasoning, recognise patterns in their mistakes and gradually work with fewer prompts.

I have repeatedly supported students in improving by two or more grades, including previous examples of U to B, D to A and C to A*.

I can tutor online or in person.
