I am an examiner for OCR and Edexcel exam boards and this job helps me to improve students' exam technique. I find that many students are hard working but sometimes don't do well in exams. My teaching includes lots of exam practice particularly in understanding what the examiners require. I have been called an inspirational teacher by colleagues and by my students, so hopefully I can make tutoring sessions enjoyable for you.
I offer support and advice for students applying to university through UCAS and will review and advise on personal statements.

' I was aiming for a minium of a D in biology to get into my university as I was finding it very difficult. When we decided to get Farida to tutor me I improved alot and even got a grade higher then expected. All of her great turtoring got me a grade C, so I'm delighted.''
From Laura SmartI found the teaching very broad yet straight to the point. This profound a greater interest and made me feel more keen towards learning and striving towards the aim. Complex information was broken down in to simple answers in a way where the student can feel they understand the information and retain it's information. Was a pleasure.
Dear Farida
I just wanted you to know that I got the results for my biology resit today. I got 145/150 for the F215 module giving me an A. It also means that my overall grade for Biology moves from a C to an A! Thank you so much for everything , I am over the moon.

07/03/13Farida is a fantastic tutor – her direct approach and knowledge of A-level biology is second to none; the time she invests in you, means students get the results they want. She will sit down with you, assess your needs and gaps in knowledge and starts tutoring you straight away.
Farida also has a lot of experience as an examiner, and helps you improve your exam technique by ensuring your answers are more concise and specific to your exam board. I would highly recommend her to future students.Thank you for all the help you gave me with biology. You were very patient with me and explained everything amazingly! I couldn't have done it with out you.
