About the tutor

Maha Farooq came to teaching from clinical practice. She graduated as a gold medallist in Audiology and Speech Language Therapy, then spent several years in hospitals and therapy centres working with children who have autism spectrum disorder, hearing impairment and a range of communication needs.

That work gave her two things her students benefit from: an unusually detailed grasp of how the human body and nervous system function, and the patience to explain a difficult idea a second and a third way. Across 5 years and more than 15,000 hours of tuition she has learned to spot exactly where a learner has lost the thread. Her sessions are calm and structured, and she builds confidence in students who had decided that science was not for them.

Education

Maha Farooq holds a Bachelor of Science in Audiology and Speech Language Therapy, graduating as gold medallist for overall academic excellence, and she is a licensed speech language therapist and audiologist. She also took Best Academic Performance awards in her second, third and fourth years, alongside Best Clinical Performance awards in her second and third.

Teaching style

She adapts each session to the learner in front of her rather than to a fixed lesson plan.

  • Neurodiversity-informed

    Her therapeutic training shapes how she reworks explanations for different learning needs.

  • Clinical connections

    Real cases from health, anatomy and communication make biology stick.

  • Exam technique

    Structured revision and past-paper practice sharpen how students write their answers.

  • Confidence building

    A supportive tone gets hesitant students volunteering answers instead of waiting.

  • Study strategy

    She teaches memory techniques, note organisation and revision planning alongside the syllabus.
