Harshini Shanker
Maths maverick, science nerd and passionate tutor at your service! Well-trained in A-level **physics**, **chemistry**, **economics**, **finance**, **statistics**, **mathematics** and **further maths** with top grades. I’m here to do more than just get you past your exams. I break down the big stuff until it fits in your pocket. You will build a rock-solid foundation with me, no matter what your starting point is. Anything you don’t understand in class is my failure, not yours. When I’m not helping you ace your coursework, you’ll find me diving into a Shakespeare tragedy, twisting Rubik’s cubes or painting. But enough about me. What’s tripping you up? What ambitious but achievable goals can we pursue together? Let’s talk.

I graduated from the University of Leicester with an integrated Masters in Physics. I’m currently doing a part-time PhD in BioPhysics at University College London, where I’m hoping to shed light on how cancer develops at the earliest of stages. I’ve always loved physics and maths due to the elegance in which simple formulas and fundamental theories can be applied to complicated, real world situations, helping us understand and see the world around us in a way we couldn’t before. I enjoy trying to pass this passion on to students of all ages in both science and mathematics, helping them understand the relevance of these subjects outside of their exams, whilst instilling confidence in their own abilities to solve problems and persevere with challenging topics. I have extensive tutoring experience with students of all abilities, including those with special educational needs. I am compassionate and patient in my approach, and am able to adapt my teaching style dynamically to each student, focusing on their strengths while finding any weaknesses that may prevent them from achieving their goals. I develop long term, personalised study plans with each student and monitor their progress throughout our work together, ensuring they’re staying on track, and adapting the plan and my tutoring methods if there are any plateaus in progress. I am honest and open in my communication, ensuring parents and students are informed of study plans, progress and any additional attitudes and behaviours that are relevant to the student’s academic progress. I understand the importance of this collaborative approach in order to ensure tuition continues to be beneficial, and the student achieves their full potential.

Hello! I’m currently working as a Maths Teacher in Croydon High School and have experience in teaching Maths to age groups ranging from 11-18 for over 5 years now. I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering in University College London and my PGCE from Oxford University, both of these equip me quite well to understand how to teach Maths at a much deeper level, along with tying the subject to real life applications to ensure students enjoy the subject as much as I do! Outside of studying, I participate in Model United Nations at university and run the society at my school. Even as a Maths Teacher, I take a great interest in history, politics, and geography and enjoy reading about different eras in my spare time.

I am a computer science graduate from the University of Manchester. I love computing and mathematics, because they promote an empirical understanding of common problems in the world, and provide the tools for creatively finding logical solutions to those problems. The freedom to explore the world like this with the appropriate tools and, more importantly, mindset is invaluable in my opinion. I also have a great appreciation for the natural sciences and economics for the same reasons. In my spare time, I like to spend meaningful time with friends, read, exercise, watch movies, and play games.

I am currently studying at Loughborough University, and I am a GCSE Maths tutor for Manning’s tutors. I love tutoring Math’s because it is great to see the ‘Aha!’ moment in students when it all starts to make sense. I understand that maths can be a difficult subject for some people, and I aim to make the subject more accessible and enjoyable. I take a patient and supportive approach, intending to break down complex concepts into more manageable and simpler components.
Maurits Bekkers
I am a Philosophy and Political Theory MA student at the University of Manchester, graduating earlier this year with a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Philosophy, also at Manchester. I loved the duality of my undergraduate degree, since it enabled me to understand what may initially seem to be stubbornly pure subjects in an interdisciplinary way. In particular, I enjoy the incontestability and exactness Mathematics is able to offer, while at the same time having the ability to engage with more abstract and conceptual topics in Philosophy. Since both of these fields follow a common logic and a certain list of proof-formats, I was able to continually strengthen my knowledge in either area by practicing the other. I spend my spare time arranging and making music, writing articles, and running!

Mathematics is, in essence, not about finding solutions to equations or calculating the velocity of a projectile. Although those are useful consequences, mathematics is about discovering structure, finding deep connections and understanding why they exist. As a first year mathematics student at King’s College London, this is why I chose to study the subject. A favourite quote of mine, by Maryam Mirzakhani, says that “The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to its more patient followers”. The rewarding feeling of success after battling with a challenging problem is exactly what makes me pursue mathematics, and I hope to instil that same feeling in my students when they overcome the challenge of a problem to uncover the beauty of mathematics.
