Bluum Institute — 1:1 & Small-Group Tutoring

Where potential
turns into progress.

I work with every student personally to build a plan around who they are — not a generic syllabus. KS2 through university, in person or online.

One tutor, five subjects

Every session is with me directly — no marketplace, no matching process. Here's what I teach and how to book.

Founder and tutor at Bluum Institute. I started tutoring through MyTutor, and my path into teaching began earlier still — teaching English during a university exchange year in Japan, where I first found how much I loved helping something click for someone. Alongside teaching, I spent 3+ years as a Senior Business Analyst in banking, which shapes how I approach tutoring too — structured, outcome-focused, genuinely tracking whether something's working. I now work 1:1 with every student myself, across Maths, English, Economics, Law, and 11+ entrance prep.

KS2 to University
Our approach to tutoring

Progress starts with an honest look at where a student stands.

I don't teach to a syllabus in the abstract — every tutoring plan starts with the student in front of me.

Rooted in the student

Every tutoring programme begins with a real assessment of strengths, gaps, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Steady, visible growth

We track progress session by session, so families always know what's improving and what needs more attention.

Guided by real experience

I've sat where your child is sitting — in classrooms, in exams, working through these same subjects, including teaching abroad in Japan.

How tutoring works

The path from potential to progress

A student's tutoring journey with me moves through four stages, each building on the last.

Assess

Understand where things stand

An initial consultation to map strengths, gaps, and goals.

Plan

Agree the plan

I'll set out what we'll focus on and book in your first session.

Grow

Work the plan, session by session

Regular sessions with notes and check-ins along the way.

Achieve

Reach the goal that mattered

Grades, offers, or confidence — measured against what we set out to do.

“ University Economics
Imy is incredible. She went through each question step by step and made sure I understood the reasoning and the model rather than just memorising answers, then applied it to real-world examples. I have absolutely no regrets in choosing Imy as a tutor.
— Student
“ Scottish Higher Maths
Iman is knowledgeable, patient, and listens to the student, carefully and accurately responding to their needs. She's also flexible and understanding, which has been so helpful given our schedule. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Iman.
— Parent
“ Econometrics
Iman was extremely attentive during the lessons, making sure she went through all the theory behind the learning — ensuring I really understood what I was doing, not just how to answer the question.
— Student
“ GCSE Maths
Overall, a great tutor, helped me to push myself to grade 9 potential. Very easy to work with and good at explaining.
— Student
“ A-level Maths
Iman is a terrific maths tutor. My son has had a couple of weekly lessons so far and Iman has helped with reviewing key concepts for his exams, walking at his pace while challenging him. She's extremely flexible and understanding — I highly recommend her.
— Parent
“ GCSE Maths & English
Imy has been amazing with my stepdaughter, who we found out far too late has dyscalculia and dyslexia. We can see her confidence and ability improving — she's now able to explain concepts rather than just copy words with no understanding. Imy has been a great communicator throughout.
— Parent

FAQs

Good questions to ask before booking

The things parents and students usually want to know before getting in touch.

Where do sessions actually take place?

Online sessions run nationwide over video call — anywhere in the UK (or abroad). In-person sessions are available locally; I'll confirm whether your area works for in-person during the free introductory call.

How quickly will I hear back after I get in touch?

I reply to every enquiry — free call requests, session requests, and general messages — within 24 hours.

What's your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Pay-as-you-go sessions can be cancelled or rescheduled anytime with at least 24 hours' notice. Package sessions don't expire, so a missed slot can simply be rebooked. Subscription sessions roll over to the next month if unused.

Are you actually DBS-checked?

Yes — an Enhanced DBS check is in place. Happy to share the certificate details on request before your first session.

What happens after I book the free 15-minute call?

It's a no-obligation video call to talk through your student's subject, level, and goals, and to see if it's a good fit. There's no pressure to book paid sessions afterwards — it's genuinely just a conversation first.

What ages and levels do you teach?

KS2 through to university level, across Maths, English, Economics, Law, and 11+ entrance preparation. The exact exam boards covered are listed in the Subjects section above.

How do I pay?

Get in touch via the contact section below and I'll confirm the right option (pay-as-you-go, package, or subscription) and send payment details directly — nothing is charged automatically.

Resources, built the way I actually teach

I'm designing a small set of resources based on what students and parents ask me for most — not generic templates, but tools built around real exam technique and how I actually run sessions. Tell me which ones you'd use, and you'll be first to know when they're ready, with early-access pricing. Prices below are guide prices, not final.
