Riya is a Bachelor of Science student majoring in Laboratory Medicine, so she works with real-world applications of maths and science every day. Having studied Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Biology at school, she understands the step-by-step skills students need to succeed in these subjects. This tutor is well placed to help primary and high school students strengthen core numeracy and science understanding, especially for those who need concepts explained clearly and patiently, one small step at a time.
Riya brings strong communication skills and a naturally calm manner, shaped by her experience supporting people in care settings and helping to run group activities. She is used to breaking tasks into manageable parts and giving gentle, practical guidance, which translates well to helping students who may feel anxious about maths or science. Parents can expect a tutor who listens carefully, checks understanding regularly, and creates a safe space for students to ask questions without feeling judged.
Balancing university study with volunteering has given Riya excellent time management and organisation skills, which she uses to plan focused, efficient lessons. She is punctual, prepared, and able to adapt quickly if a student needs extra time on a tricky topic. This tutor enjoys creating simple practice exercises and real-life examples to make abstract ideas easier to grasp, and works with students to set small, achievable goals so they can see their own progress and build confidence week by week.
