Proven track record of helping students raise grades by 1–3 levels within 8–10 sessions. Expert in AQA, Edexcel, OCR and CIE. Many students have gone on to Cambridge, UCL and Imperial.
Pure & applied maths, physics and related modules—from linear algebra and vector calculus to specialist topics. Ideal for resits or intensive mid-term support when you need a fast, structured breakthrough.

I'm Xin, a professional tutor with a PhD in Materials Science & Engineering from the University of Manchester. With over seven years of experience, I specialise in deep-level understanding—whether you're a GCSE student aiming for an A* or a university student tackling complex modules.
My style is patient and encouraging, designed to build confidence in students who find maths and physics daunting, while giving the technical depth that high-achievers need.
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic assessment to find knowledge gaps, then a bespoke roadmap for your exam timeline. Sessions (60–90 minutes) focus on conceptual clarity, exam-style problem solving and mark-scheme tactics. I provide revision notes and structured homework between sessions.

"Zhiying has been fantastic so far! My son feels that she explains the material in detail so that he better understands it. She also sends notes from the lesson every week for his revision and some review homework questions to further cement the learning. She's fab!"
"My son's been receiving physics tutoring from Zhiying for around a month now, and his comments could not be more positive. Lessons are effective and productive, with a clear balance between completing adequately challenging questions and learning at an appropriate pace. Thanks Zhiying!"
"Wonderful tutor. Zhiying has been helping me improve confidence in maths and prepare for an entrance exam for a trade school. She has a brilliant calm teaching style. I would strongly recommend her to anyone preparing for an exam—or who just needs more confidence with maths."
"We have had several lessons so far in GCSE maths and physics and feel happy with our son's progress. Zhiying has been professional from the beginning. She's very good at what she does and clearly very knowledgeable. She is organised and everything is prepared. We also appreciate that she provides homework to complete after the lesson and marks the answers. We feel lucky to have found her."
"Zhiying has adapted her teaching to suit my daughter well. My daughter is showing improvement and increased confidence even after a few weeks. Thank you."
