About Achintya
I studied Politics at King’s College London before completing a Master’s in Law at The University of Law with a Distinction, and I am now working towards a career as a solicitor. Outside academics, I enjoy sport, fashion and art, and I’ve always liked finding ways to make complicated ideas feel more relatable and easier to understand.
I’ll also be upfront: I don’t have years and years of formal teaching experience. What I do have is experience mentoring and tutoring GCSE and A-Level students, including students from underprivileged communities, as well as neurodivergent students. Those experiences taught me a lot about adaptation, communication and meeting people where they are, rather than assuming one approach will work for everyone.
A big reason I want to teach comes from my own experience as a student. Growing up, I often felt that lessons were delivered in one fixed way, and if that way didn’t suit how your brain processed information, you were simply expected to keep up. I found that visual learning, modern examples, discussion and breaking ideas down into smaller stages helped me far more. That is the kind of tutor I want to be for someone else.
I think my fresher approach is actually a strength. I remember what it feels like to be the student who understands something only once it is explained differently. I want to be able to spot that quickly, adapt the lesson, and make even a dull or intimidating topic feel manageable and relevant. If one explanation doesn’t work, I’ll try another.
Ultimately, I want students to leave with more than just a better mark. I want them to build a system for learning that works for them personally, and that they can carry into future exams, university and whatever they choose to do next.
My academic and professional experiences have taught me how to take complex information, work out what really matters, and communicate it in a clear way. Through both legal and financial work, I have had to explain ideas carefully, and adapt how I communicate depending on the audience. I also hold a Grade 8 LAMDA Public Speaking Distinction, which has helped me develop the confidence and communication skills to support students not only in their written work, but also in expressing their ideas clearly and confidently.

My lessons have a clear structure, but the way I teach within that structure is tailored to the individual student. I normally start by reviewing the material in advance so I understand the topic, exam requirements and where the likely areas of difficulty may be. At the beginning of the lesson, I check what the student already understands, what they are unsure about and how confident they feel with the topic.
From there, I break the lesson into stages. I explain the concept clearly, work through examples with the student in a way which sticks in their brain, ask targeted questions to check understanding, and then gradually move towards independent practice. I do not simply give the answer. I want the student to understand the reasoning behind it and develop a method they can use again on their own.
The same lesson can look very different depending on the student. One student may benefit from diagrams and modern examples, colour-coding or breaking a task into smaller steps; another may respond better to discussion, repetition, model answers or timed practice. For students with ADHD, dyslexia or anxiety, I adjust pace, task length, structure and the way information is presented so they are not being forced into a learning style that does not work for them.
I also build in regular recap and retrieval throughout the lesson, rather than waiting until the end, so I can see whether the student has genuinely understood and retained the material. I finish by reviewing what we have covered, identifying what still needs work and agreeing on a clear next step.
Whether I am teaching 7+, 11+, 13+, or GCSE, my aim is the same: to make the lesson feel purposeful and enjoyable, while ensuring the student is being taught in the way that helps them understand, retain and apply the information most effectively.

I met Achintya for the first time in 2024 when we were in the same internship cohort at ICBC Standard Bank. The work both of our teams did went hand in hand, which is why I had the privilege of working alongside Achintya on a regular basis over my 3-month internship experience.
Achintya was someone I learned a lot from in the professional workspace, given how he was always so organized, was always so well-prepared, and was genuinely enthusiastic to create a positive impact with whatever work he conducted, which really inspired me and my mindset. An instance when he helped me that I’ll never forget is when an unintentional minor error from our team had caused widespread downstream impacts at the bank. I was naturally in a state of bother since I was relatively new at the firm and did not know how to deal with this situation. Achintya helped me put together a structured plan of reaching out to all affected stakeholders, and once that had been done, come up with a strategic plan to not only rectify the error but to also avoid such errors in the future - he also helped me document the entire process to increase visibility of the problem and the mitigation measures in place.
In this situation, I really admired Achintya being level-headed and calm in such a tense situation. I also really was inspired by his structured thinking, his broad knowledge of functions at the bank, and his desire to uplift overall efficiency in processes. These are lessons I carried with me in my personal and professional life.
I think Achintya’s strengths are definitely his sense of organization, his unique approach and attitude to different situations, and his willingness to help people out, which is why I think he will make an amazing superprof!Anyone would be lucky to have Achintya as a teacher. He is extremely patient and makes learning English a joy. I could tell how much hard work he put into crafting creative and effective lessons. I would highly recommend him!
Achintya has helped me a lot with my English, especially as someone who struggles with dyslexia. I’ve always found it quite difficult finding tutors because I feel like not everyone knows how to adapt their teaching to someone with dyslexia, which has made it an insecurity of mine for a long time. With Achintya, I’ve never felt like that’s been an issue. He’s really good at adjusting and personalising the lessons to suit the way I learn and explains things in a way that actually works for me. He’s always patient and makes sure I properly understand something before moving on. Since having lessons with him, I’ve noticed a big difference not only in my English but also in my confidence, and I feel much more comfortable asking questions or getting things wrong. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a patient, understanding and adaptable tutor.View more recommendations
