Information about Devinder

Professional and friendly online tutor. Offering a bespoke, quality tutoring service designed with your child and their needs in mind.

+10,000 hours teaching experience. 25+ 5-star reviews on personal social media page. Reviewers` comments include that I present subject matter clearly and thoroughly.

Curriculum-aligned material is taught, learners’ understanding is checked systematically, misconceptions identified accurately and clear, direct feedback provided. In doing so, knowledge gaps are identified and content repeated to plug gaps where appropriate and embed learning.

Common errors are shared to help student prevent making them in their practice and in their exams.

Homework can be expected at the end of each lesson. This is to prepare the students to become masters in their topics and to decrease their dependence on the tutor.

All lessons are prepared in advance to make the best use of tuition time.

A record of every lesson and scores are sent to parents after each lesson for transparency, allowing them to assess the effectiveness of the tuition and monitor their child`s progress closely.

I use a collaborative, interactive, online whiteboard which is free and simple for my students to use: no holding aloft shaky notepads aimed at the webcam. This allows me to watch and check students` understanding in real time.

Using the `I Do, You Do, We Do` model, students are told what they need to know and how to do it, then we work on a task together to help student become more confident with new learning and finally student individually uses what they have been shown to demonstrate proficiency using practice questions or repeating back to me what they have learned.

Access to vast amount of publications to help support and boost your child`s education.

Worked with students of various abilities

Aim of every lesson is to ensure student understands and fill knowledge gaps.

Prepared to plan and deliver sessions tailored to the needs of individual students

Emphasis on accuracy first, followed by speed

Homework provided at student discretion though highly recommended for entrance exams and GCSEs

Can significantly increase your child’s chances of success at gaining a place at their chosen school/university.

Strategy for entrance exam preparation :
Lay foundations for technique
Highlight weak areas
Identification appropriate resources to develop weak areas
Practice until accurate
Practice until both accurate and quick


Tutor style

The aim is to create an independent learner who understands content and can apply knowledge to exam style questions. Technique and strategy is first and foremost.

Using the `I Do, You Do, We Do` Model, students are told what they need to know and how to do it, then we work on a task together to help student become more confident with new learning and finally student individually uses what they have been shown to demonstrate proficiency using practice questions or repeating back to me what they have learned.

In the second phase, past papers are attempted. Importantly, incorrect answers are never addressed by simply providing the correct answer. Instead, the student is guided to the correct answer by scaffold approach using a series of questions posed by the tutor, leading to skills such as independence and confidence.

Pupils can access vast resources including a catalogue of more than 50 books on technique and 200 past papers, covered by multiple publishers. This represents a substantial cost saving on books compared to the initial outlay needed to prepare for the exams which can stretch into several hundred pounds.

After having some tutors who didn`t really seem to be making much of a difference, Devinder has been a great find for us, and my daughter is so pleased to have a tutor she understands and can learn from. Devinder has only been teaching my daughter for a couple of weeks now but already there is a difference, my daughter is more confident, able to immediately apply her new knowledge and feels more able to face her exams.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for putting your trust in me. It was a real pleasure for me to tutor your lovely daughter and I`m glad I was able to make a difference.

Absolutely fantastic online tutor, my son loves his sessions with her and feels more comfortable aswell. she is a reliable, professional and very organised tutor. My son online sessions are engaging and squeeze in a wealth of practice, techniques and strategies for the 11+ Really my son found it incredibly helpful in understanding how to tackle exam questions also we have seen that he started showing progress in all the subjects. She did maths, verbal reasoning, comprehension also when he is struggling with a subject she gives more time to explain very clearly and easy to understand also gives him more homework to do out of the hours of the sessions. After every session she send me a report full of explanation about what they did and all his scores also all his work scanned so she keeps me updated which is very good. Thank you very much We are highly recommend her to everybody who preparing their children to sit the 11+ exam

Tutors Response :
