Hello, my name is Niloufar Wijetunge and I’ve taught science and mathematics for 27 years. I specialise in physics and maths up to A-Level and up to GCSE in biology and chemistry. Alongside classroom teaching, I’ve supported educators at all career stages, working with national organisations to train and mentor physics teachers - sharing strategies for effective lesson design, student engagement, and deepening subject knowledge.

​

My experience extends to being an external exams examiner, authoring physics content for the Institute of Physics, The Ogden Trust, and more recently, Save My Exams. I also prepare students for competitive university entrance exams, including the ESAT and PAT for Oxbridge.

More recently, I am tutoring students from under-resourced backgrounds through the Access Project, an initiative allowing me to give back to the community and help empower young learners to achieve their academic goals.

​

Over the past decade, I’ve focused on online tutoring, refining methods to deliver adaptable, focused lessons using digital tools. My resource library - built over decades - includes past papers, custom exercises, and interactive simulations, all tailored to address individual learning gaps and build on understanding. I have an up to date understanding of science and maths education, which enables me to support my students' learning relative to the curriculum and exam specifications.

​

My approach prioritises independent problem solving: equipping students with frameworks to tackle challenges confidently, not just memorise answers. This means structured guidance, regular feedback, and adapting techniques to suit their learning style. I also ensure transparency with parents and students, offering clear progress updates and actionable steps for improvement. Outside lessons, I invest time preparing materials and marking work thoroughly - because effective tutoring doesn’t stop when the session ends.

​

Beyond education, I work as a personal trainer. While seemingly unrelated, both roles share core principles: setting clear goals, tailoring strategies to individual needs, and tracking progress through consistency and adaptability. Whether mastering a concept or improving fitness, success hinges on fundamentals, patience, and incremental growth.
