About Me
Hello there!
I’m Begum, the proud founder of Mira Tutoring. While I’m a secondary school science specialist by profession, I’ve been tutoring various subjects for even longer. My journey began at 17, when I first tutored GCSE Maths to a student who reached out through a tutoring website. He was struggling with dyslexia and dyscalculia and was on the verge of failing maths, which threatened his college prospects. With some dedicated sessions, we managed to get him to a strong C in just a few months. That was my first paid gig and the start of my passion for tutoring and teaching hundreds of students since then.
My Journey
I pursued a Master of Science Degree in Biochemistry at the University of Surrey and then completed my PGCE. Now, as a fully qualified teacher, I’ve had the pleasure of working in several schools across Surrey, London, and Berkshire.
The inspiration to brand my business came from my daughter’s birth, which led to the creation of Mira Tutoring. Just three weeks after she was born, I began building my online presence, and here we are, over three years later!
I currently reside in Berkshire with my three-year-old daughter Mira, my eight-month-old son Ali, my partner Jon, and our three cats: Whisky, Pebbles, and Cubby. Life is busy but incredibly rewarding!
My Approach
At Mira Tutoring, I do all of the tutoring myself, drawing on extensive expertise in both primary and secondary school curricula, including A-levels, supporting learners from age 5 through to adulthood.
My goal is to foster a welcoming and supportive learning environment, particularly for students who may feel anxious or uncertain. I’m here to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out—whether by phone, WhatsApp, email, or our contact form. I’ll respond promptly. Let’s begin this educational journey together!
“Begum was a fantastic tutor for our 10 year old son. She genuinely cares about children and how they learn best – no two people are the same and tailors her teaching accordingly. Would highly recommend.”
