"Shanta is determined to want us all to do well and the lessons I receive from her are very effective because it makes me understand complex things when it`s broken down or in a more simple way. Her teaching style is very good because she pushes me to try to do my best even if I find it very hard, and what makes the lessons even better is that she`s very friendly and I don`t feel judged at all even if I do get the easiest questions wrong, and she doesn`t rush me at all, so I would recommend her to anyone 100/10 :) " - Reena, Student (2024)

Hello, my name is Shanta! I have been tutoring for 10 years now. I have worked as a teaching assistant at a secondary school in South-East London for the 3 years and in the last 2 years I have been working in Education Recruitment. I am an enthusiastic, friendly and hard-working person and believe in a tutoring approach that is friendly, patient and tailored to the student’s needs. Everyone is different and so teaching methods need to be adapted to each student.
Furthermore, I studied at a private secondary school and in my GCSEs I attained an A* for Maths, A for Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Studies. In the school that I work for at the moment, requires me to work with children in the classroom, differentiate subject material for each subjects and hold intervention sessions with small groups. I believe that this shows that not only do I know the subject material well but I am also capable of teaching these subjects to children and meet their educational needs.
I hold an up-to-date Enhanced DBS.

Experience:
I have been tutoring for 10 years now and working as a teaching assistant for 3 years. I have taught many children from different schools and diverse backgrounds. My students have ranged from primary school up to students doing their GCSEs.
Privately, I mainly tutor Maths, English and Science. I have also tutored Religious Studies too. All the students that I have tutored have increased with a minimum of 2 grades, but my main aim is that my students leave my sessions a little more confident each time. It brings me a great sense of happiness and satisfaction to see a child reach their full potential and to see them grow in confidence in subjects that they were nervous about before.
