About Charlie:
My name is Charlie Sunda and I am 24. I have a BA in Philosophy, Religion and Ethics and an MA in Psychology of Religion. I am an excellent motivator and I am positive that I can maximise your child's potential. I am very easy to get on with and I find that pupils always work hard for me.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach is based around motivation: I realise that it is not enough to provide a pupil with information and expect them to necessarily achieve a top grade. Many talented pupils need a mentor who understands their needs and who can help them become self-motivated.

Miss Ellie Fialho

About Ellie:
I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with a First Class degree in Music. I achieved 5 A levels in music, maths, chemistry, biology and Spanish, all at grade A and straight A* marks at GCSE level.

I am currently studying for the GDL in law, having achieved sponsorship from top International Law Firm with whom I will commence employment upon finishing my studies in 2010.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught piano, flute and music theory since the age of 15, with a total of ten pupils before stopping teaching to start university (where splitting my time between Cambridge and home made teaching impossible due to a lack of continuity).

I have helped pupils prepare for entrance exams for Oxbridge and have also tutored maths and english in the past.

Tutoring Approach:
I have a firm but friendly approach to teaching - this is more enjoyable both for me and my pupils! I tackle the obstacles in a graded and logical approach and only ask that pupils engage as much in their sessions as I do in order for them to gain as much as possible from them.

Mrs Martha Tsigris

Subjects: Spanish
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Martha:
I was born in Peru which means that i am a native speaker and came to england in my early twenties so my english is also of native standard. i enjoy reading and love travelling and all things cultural

Teaching Experience:
Whilst living in Peru i use to privately tutor in english to children who had difficulty learning the language. In the past i have tought in an indipendant spanish school which ran on saturdays. This enabled me to work with children of various ages. At the school I had the opportunity to teach pupils with Special Educational Needs as well as gifted ones and I am therefore aware of their need for differentiation through support and extension activities provided when delivering lessons.
I have also tutored private lessons to various children in Spanish who wished to catch up on work they fell behind with or hwo had problems grasping the language.

Tutoring Approach:
I prioritize in giving individual attention to my students and to know exactly on what level they are. I am very flexible and patient and can adapt according to the needs of the student, but try to make learning varied and interesting. I prefer to to conduct the lessons in the spoken language that way the student will become more familiar and fluent with the language.

Mr Banerjee Soumitra

About Banerjee:
I am currently a student of MSc. Automotive Engineering at Coventry University.I have done my BSc. Mechanical Engineering from India and have worked as a Marine Engineer for 3 years in Merchant Navy.I have a good record in my academics specially in all the science subjects.I am fluent in verbal as well as written in three languages, English, Hindi and Bengali.

Teaching Experience:
Having studied in a convent in India from the famous Jesuit Father's group, I proudly say that I am a student of St. Xavier's school, a brand all through the world.I have done private tutoring in India about 4 years during my BSc. Engineering days and I have seen tutoring comes naturally to me.Had I not been an engineer I'ld have been a tutor.My prowess in science subjects help me to teach with more authority and confidence.

Tutoring Approach:
As the saying goes, a good tutor necessarily don't need to be a good student rather he needs to be a very patient man and a good orator.I believe to express your knowledge you need to have a very good communicational skill and the thought process should start by thinking on the same way as the student.It helps you to understand what is his/her problem rather finishing your lectures.A tutor is satisfied when he sees his student doing well in assignments.A good student is actually a pride of a tutor.

Mr Nyein Chan

Subjects: Japanese | Maths | Physics

Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Nyein:
I have recently (June 2007) been qualified to graduate with BSc (Hons) Physics with Space Science degree from University College London (UCL). I will be continuing with my studies for Master's level in Applied Mathematics or Theoretical Physics and aim to follow research and teaching career. I am fluent in English, Burmese and Japanese and I also have computer programming skills. I am patient, which is most important in teaching, relaxed, flexible and friendly.

Teaching Experience:
Most of my teaching experience come from helping fellow students, teaching an adult person on a foundation course and through dropping into a few peer-assisted learning (PAL) sessions.

Tutoring Approach:
My approaching to teaching is to make students learn through examples. In doing so, students will not only gain problem-solving skills and understand the theories better, but also will be well-prepared for the exams at the same time. I believe it is very efficient way to learn and most suitable for subjects like Mathematics and Physics which you cannot remember everything but must try to understand underlying principles and must be able to apply them in different contexts. However, different students have different tastes to different teachings and I am therefore prepared to be adapt the way the student wants me to.

I have been teaching children up to GCSE level for the last 4 years according to the national curriculum. I have very strong interpersonal and communication skills which are used to their best advantage when trying to convey the subject matter to my audience.

Tutoring Approach:
I am punctual, reliable and able to work under pressure, either within a team or alone, am highly motivated, ambitious and enjoy working to deadlines, being positive and fair with a friendly disposition.

I have a good academic track record, obtaining straight A's for Maths, Chemistry and Physics in 'A' Levels and is on the track in attaining a 1st class honors in my field of study.

Peter

Teaching Experience:
I have tutored students at primary to GCSE levels in Maths, Science, English, Physics and Chemistry for the past few years, where all had made improvements in their grades.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that having a strong foundation is important before tackling a subject in depth, especially for Maths and Sciences, thus I will start from the basics if the student's foundation is weak. I will cultivate their interest in the subject and emphasize the importance of practicing and true understanding rather than memorizing.

Mr Niall Bruce

Subjects: Maths
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Niall:
I am a 21 year old student, currently studying Financial Maths at Loughborough University. I have always had a flare for maths and excelled at it throughout school. Outside of studying, I am a keen sportsman, playing both tennis and golf to a relatively high standard. I am a hard working and reliable individual who loves new challenges.

Teaching Experience:
Although no formal mathematics teaching experience, during college and university, I often helped out classmates and other friends who struggled with problems in classwork or homework. I am a qualified tennis coach though, so I do have experience in working with children and adults in a coaching scenario which I think is a great benefit.

Tutoring Approach:
I love to pass on my knowledge (in either maths, tennis, or any other subject) and help others to learn/improve. I feel that I can adapt my style to the pupil, as everyone learns differently. Some like to be shown a method/technique and left to try, whilst others like to be talked thought it step by step. I am able to cater for all learning styles.

I have a website which outlines my experience in more detail, but I'm not allowed to include the link in this profile. Drop me a line if you want to know more.

Tutoring Approach:
I adopt a straightforward, friendly approach to tutoring. I'm always careful to define what exactly it is you want to get out of tutoring before we start, whether it be generally improving your musicality or working towards a particular qualification.

I'm flexible regarding timings - I understand that people have busy lives - so I generally don't charge for missed lessons.

I've never tried online tutoring but I'm happy to give it a go!

Tutoring Approach:
My approach is quite relaxed as I believe patience is essential as a tutor. I like to use diverse and innovative methods such as the visual and audio means during times of revision. Predominantly I feel the individuals needs are most important, therefore different techniques work with different people, so I feel adaptability of the tutor is essential.

Ms Tomoka Anan

Subjects: Music
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Tomoka:
As a graduate of The Musashino Academy of Music in Japan, I have extensive experience in performing as a concert pianist in Japan and accompanist for Violinist and Vocalist for their concerts.
I accompanied on a Japanese Canzone CD which was released in 2005 and I used to make music for TV commercials. I'm not only limited to classical music, I also have experience and understanding of many types of composition, from ethnic forms right through to modern, contemporary, techno and electro. I am well traveled and have an understanding of many different cultures.
I am an outgoing, fun person and although I think this shows through to pupils, my lessons are strict and I prefer only to take on serious students who are determined to achieve their goals.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching for 13 years in Japan, 1 year in the USA and 13 years in the UK. I can train you to all levels, for all English or Japanese piano grade exams or for entrance to music schools, universities and all levels above.

Tutoring Approach:
Students who want to improve your skills & pass exams, I am confident that you will see improvement from the very first lesson.
I feel that music is not just about learning the notes & playing them in the right order - like people, every piece has it's own character, emotion & depth. I think it is just as important to get the student to recognise & express this, as it is for them to learn the correct technique.
