Welcome

Hi, I’m Kiran! I’ve been tutoring full-time since I graduated from UCL in 2016 with an MSci in Physics. During this time I’ve given thousands of hours of one-to-one A-level Physics, Maths and Further Maths tuition.

Physics & Maths Lessons

  • Presentations on all topics that include theory and questions

  • Thousands of exam questions, picked for their uniqueness and ranked according to difficulty to help you progress

  • 'Specification suitability tabs' at the bottom of each presentation

  • Summary slides to help you distill key information

  • Unique examples

  • Enrichment slides to boost understanding and to bring joy to Physics!

  • 'Challenge' questions to push you beyond the specification

What I Offer

Fully prepared lessons

As a full-time tutor, I am committed to creating the best lesson plans and compiling the best exam questions for my students. The most important step to succeeding in Physics and Maths is to have good, regular question practice. I provide thousands of specification-appropriate exam questions for my students to work through in and out of the sessions. I also offer comprehensive specification-appropriate theory, providing a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon.

Effective learning habits

Learning is an acquired skill. I encourage students to adopt active forms of learning, including question practice and recall, whilst discouraging passive forms of learning, such as extensive note-taking and re-reading of textbooks. Students can improve the durability and versatility of their knowledge by spacing and interleaving their question practice. These techniques increase the amount of cognitive effort exerted. Whilst they may feel less productive at the time, learning is scientifically proven to be more effective in the long run.

Confidence building

On top of doing extensive exam question practice to build confidence, I remind students that intellectual ability is not wholly fixed. It lies, to a good degree, in our own hands. With greater cognitive effort we physically change the brain and its neural pathways. The mistakes we make are badges of effort, which offer useful corrective information and an invitation to double down on our efforts and try new approaches. When attempting questions I encourage experimentation, followed by reflection on the outcomes – a highly effective way of learning that some students may find daunting to do independently.

Ensured learning

I explain content through a variety of approaches, test my student’s understanding with question practice and revisit concepts/questions that they find difficult.

Adaptable lessons

This is perhaps one of the most important aspects of one-to-one tutoring. The pace, structure and difficulty of lessons is tailored to the student’s ability and personality.

Regular feedback

With frequent corrective feedback, students are continuously guided in the right direction. It can often be hard to judge our own levels of ability. I provide weekly feedback on what I believe my students can do to improve.

Online Lessons

For the convenience of tuition within your home, I offer online lessons over zoom. I use an online interactive whiteboard that students can edit if they own a tablet with a stylus. If they don’t own all of these tools, it’s not a problem! Our lessons will run smoothly with a pen, paper and a device for zoom.

In-person Lessons

I also offer lessons from my location at Harrow on the Hill. I am a 10-minute walk from Harrow on the Hill station, or if you are driving, there is free parking on site.

The map shows an approximate location. I will share my exact location once we commence!

 

  • "Kiran was an excellent tutor for A-level physics. He has so many well-resourced power-points well organised according to the new specifications, and very relevant to each spec. His exam questions were also organised across a range of difficulty levels, which I found tremendously useful when first familiarising myself with a topic vs later pushing myself with the extension material. Not only that, Kiran was always happy to explain anything I was struggling with diagrams, etc. He always made sure I had really understood the topic before moving on, and had well thought out explanations using analogies, etc. for the more abstract topics. Most importantly, he always seemed interested and excited to be teaching, making my lessons a very enjoyable experience. Ultimately, he played a big role in me achieving my A* in A-level Physics."

  • "Kiran was an excellent tutor to my son, who was sitting A-level physics. His lessons were extremely well prepared - all lessons were thoughtfully structured and Kiran developed his own high quality teaching materials. Kiran was also extremely knowledgable and capable of teaching the subject matter. And his communication was brilliant. He gave me as a parent a written update on every lesson - how it went, topics covered and my son`s current estimated grade. And was also willing to thoughtfully discuss any challenges or issues that came up in my son`s learning. Overall - Kiran is fantastic; certainly one of the very best tutors I`ve experienced across my childrens` entire education. Thank you!"

  • “After leaving a tutor in the local area who had a PhD but lacked dedication to tutoring I found Kiran, whose arsenal of additional resources and flexibility to his approach of teaching based on his students really highlighted to me how dedicated he is to helping his students succeed in their exams. His quick response time to emails and general good communication along with his willingness to update and make presentations to aid my learning is one of the main reasons he makes an excellent tutor. He allowed me to personalise the structuring of my lessons to what suited me through the use of a revision timetable, but he also also often gave me advice on what topics we should spend more time on based on his experience with my exam board and what can be deceivingly hard…

  • … I found his explanations to be clear and concise and especially liked the fact that he always sought for different ways to explain things to me if I was struggling to understand concepts e.g. through diagrams, analogies or by simply talking through a concept and asking me questions throughout the explanation to confirm I understood what he meant. He was also flexible on my lesson times on the occasions I couldn’t make it to my lesson and was always willing to accommodate for change and try to fit me in at other times that worked for us both. I found Kiran’s pricing very reasonable for the service I got and the impression I got from him is that he cared about getting me a good grade for my subject provided I put in the hard work necessary, which I found very reassuring.”

  • “One of the best physics teachers my son has had. His use of presentations, as well as questions throughout the session, ensured my son was able to fully engage with the teaching and content. Additionally, he has excellent knowledge of key exam techniques. I would highly recommend Kiran if were looking for an A* or aiming for the best.”

    Kuljit Grewal

  • “Kiran was a great tutor and I would highly recommend him! He was always punctual, polite and friendly. My son really liked the fact any physics question he had Kiran could answer! He has excellent knowledge of both Maths and Physics A level and was happy to switch between the two. My son got 3A* and an A in his A levels. Thanks for all your help Kiran throughout the last two years!”

    Sonal Patel

  • “Kiran has been assisting this year my son with A level physics (Y13). My son is extremely pleased with the way the topics are covered and the lessons have helped him massively. Kiran provides PowerPoints and goes through the theory and exercises in detail. He thoroughly deals with anything challenging and prioritises his teaching according to the individual’s needs, ensuring there are no gaps. He will go the extra mile and share with the student additional material to work on if it is needed or when he is asked. He does not waste any time during the lesson and the communication is excellent. I would highly recommend Kiran as he is proven to be a very well organised, knowledgeable and proactive tutor with excellent teaching skills. He is also very responsive to messages and keeps parents informed. Five stars from me.”

    Katerina Psoma

  • "My son has recently started lessons with Kiran for both A level Maths & Physics. My son is extremely happy with Kiran’s teaching and has commented on how quickly each lesson has helped him to understand and apply the subjects. He has had other tutors in the past, and has told me that Kiran is an excellent tutor and far better than anyone he has had in the past!!"
