Hello, my name is Tabassum Sheikh, With over 20 years of experience in the field of education, I am a dedicated and qualified teacher, who spent 5 years as Head of Science, committed to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment. My proven track record of enhancing student performance is a testament to my effective teaching methods and strong relationships with my students. I take pride in helping students improve their grades significantly, often achieving increases of 1, 2, or even 3 levels.
I am well-versed in all the main syllabuses taught for A Level Chemistry, GCSE, and O Level Science. My passion lies in ensuring students succeed and are inspired to pursue careers in STEM-related fields. I am acutely aware of the significant gaps in the schooling system caused by administrative pressures and large class sizes, and I strive to narrow those gaps through my tailored teaching methods.
Parents and students alike attest to the positive impact of my teaching style and the strong relationships I maintain with them. Their testimonials reflect the success and confidence that students gain under my guidance, making their educational journey both effective and enjoyable. My commitment to education is unwavering, and I continually seek to inspire and support the next generation of scientists and innovators.
I look forward to transforming your children’s perception of science and the depth that it can be used to in the world.
As an ‘outsider’ looking in, classroom practitioner, I have noticed a concerning decline in the love for science among students. This waning enthusiasm is primarily due to a lack of funding, inadequate equipment, scarce resources, the impacts of the pandemic, and the prevalence of non-specialist teachers. These factors have hindered the development of a genuine passion for STEM subjects. Additionally, the increasing volume of taught content leaves teachers unable to dedicate sufficient time to nurture students' interest and passion for science. Consequently, they also struggle to impart essential skills such as time management, organization, and effective study habits. Many students are pushed into science due to parental academic aspirations, only to be left without a clear understanding of how to leverage the subject for future career opportunities. Recognizing these challenges, I envisioned the creation of a global Science Hub—a centralized platform designed to connect students grappling with various aspects of their education, from revision and recall to application and comprehension of scientific concepts. This hub aims to be a comprehensive resource, guiding young minds towards a deeper understanding, appreciation, and utilization of science to achieve their future aspirations and goals.
