About Me
I am an experienced teacher with background in Academia and Industry (Pharma).
I was faculty member of Univ of Dhaka, Bd, before I moved to the UK to do my PhD. I was extremely lucky to do this at the interface of Biology/Chemistry at Univ of Oxford. I was a postdoc for a year, developing bio-devices at Univ of Oxford before I had to leave for NL with award under Marie-Curie. I moved back to the UK to take up a job as Senior Scientist with Pfizer. After almost 3 years there, I am doing a career change to take up teaching, which I had been doing on-and-off throughout my career. I thus bring unique insights on how the world uses science to the classroom, giving space for the student to be inspired by them.
I have a daughter who is young enough to not care about studies at all. However, my two older boys are another matter. They have to as they are both in secondary schools. They are at two different Grammar schools with very different approaches to study as well as in the board they choose to follow for some of their subjects. My two boys are also very different in their personalities, which is making it a very interesting phenomenon to observe as they begin to tackle their own GCSE issues.
Tutor Experience
I have been teaching on-and-off for more than 20 years. I specialize in teaching students who have 'fallen behind'. I will work according a schedule catered to the students' needs. I am also happy to conduct GCSE assessments.
I have experience teaching GSCE/A level Maths, Biology and Chemistry. I have taught 1st year Chemistry students their Maths in tutorial sessions (Univ of Oxford). I have also taught Chemistry at University level as well as done research at the interface of Chemistry/Biology, both in Academia (Bd, UK and NL) )and Pharma (UK). This gives me unique insights/anecdotes in teaching which enable students to be excited about the subject.

Client Reviews
Great. Very willing to arrange lessons around my exam schedule to accommodate my needs as well as organising lessons in a way where i can complete prioritised tasks as soon as possible!
Bridget - Chemistry
Really good. Content is explained really well in addition to in-depth discussions relating to chemistry topics on the syllabus.
Bridget - Chemistry
Very patient with my learning needs, there were occasionally times where I lost track due to the working being a bit too fast for me but she did not hesitate to go back and explain it again and again until I understood.
Owen - Maths
Tutor is knowledgeable and was able to break down the concepts using her own words instead of sticking to the lecture slides provided.
Lessons were well planned to ensure that sufficient time was allocated to re-explain certain concepts I was unclear about. I was also able to ask questions from my own tutorial set and clear any doubts along the way. Tutor summarised and formed connections between certain diagrams so that I was able to understand the overview of the topics.
Overall, it was a fulfilling experience. Thank you, Dr Shams Tania :)
Arifah - Biology
The tutor read through the teaching materials shared before the lesson so that she could get a grasp of what had been taught in school. This helped in her explanations that linked to the concepts introduced by my lecturers in school.
Pace was just right and the constant use of diagrams or drawings helped in clarification of conceptual processes.
Arifah - Biology
Shams was very patient and thorough with her explanation, I was able to understand her methods of calculation.
Daniela - Maths
