Hi! I'm Aiman, a recent First Class Honours graduate in Mathematical Physics from The University of Edinburgh. I wasn’t the typical “top student” back in high school, but through A-Levels and university, I gradually developed the mindset, habits and problem-solving skills that helped me understand and enjoy the subject. Because of that journey, I approach teaching with empathy and patience—I know what it feels like to struggle, and I aim to make learning less intimidating and more rewarding for my students. I’ll be starting my Master’s degree overseas this October, but I plan to continue tutoring online and remain fully committed to supporting my students throughout their learning journey, regardless of location.

While I haven’t professionally tutored before, I’ve had the rewarding experience of mentoring first-year university students through the MathBuddies peer support programme back in university. That experience sparked a genuine passion for teaching and helping others learn, and I’m now looking to grow further by tutoring students in mathematics and physics at various levels—from SPM, IGCSE, and A-Levels to undergraduate and adult learners.

I see this opportunity not just as a way to earn an income over the summer, but as a valuable step toward my long-term goal of becoming a researcher and educator. I’m committed to making abstract ideas understandable and I truly enjoy helping others build their confidence in technical subjects, especially these that I enjoy.

My teaching approach is adaptable and student-centered, grounded in the belief that genuine understanding and mathematical fluency are far more valuable than rote memorisation. I aim to build independent, confident learners who are comfortable with being uncomfortable—able to adapt, self-teach and approach unfamiliar problems with resilience.

For school-level students (SPM, IGCSE, A-Level), I aim to focus on developing strong fundamentals through analogies, clear explanations and plenty of practice with essential algebraic and mathematical tools. I prioritise understanding over shortcut memorisation, while also guiding students in exam strategy—such as recognising patterns in common question types, mastering time management and leveraging easier problems to accumulate marks efficiently. I also help students develop flexible thinking for tackling unfamiliar or ‘out-of-the-box’ questions.

At the undergraduate or adult level, I emphasise conceptual clarity, logical structure, mathematical rigour and the "why" behind key ideas. I draw on my experience in mathematical physics to show how abstract concepts fit into a larger picture, particularly for those studying technical subjects like physics or engineering.

My lessons are not one-sided. I encourage students to bounce ideas back, verbalise their reasoning and actively engage in the learning process. This interactive style helps break down abstract topics and fosters deeper, long-lasting understanding.

Above all, I strive to help students become independent thinkers who are fluent in the language of mathematics and confident in their own learning journey.
