Personal Description:
I have spent many years accumulating a wide range of academic qualifications, and my work has often primarily consisted of passing on my knowledge to others in a form they can understand. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people to understand something they thought was beyond them. By virtue of having studied several subjects at a high level, I empathise with the feeling of finding something difficult, and have the patience and technique to get past this. I am not a single-subject specialist who might find it difficult to understand why others struggle in their area of expertise.
For students who are preparing for exams, my knowledge of examination technique, and an empathy with the marker, should be invaluable. I always keep in mind the importance of the student's goals, but never take myself too seriously.

Teaching Experience:
My whole career has been geared towards some form of teaching. I have trained groups of adults and children, as well as individuals, in elements of mathematics, psychology, actuarial science, pensions, and even tennis! I have tutored both of my children through IGCSEs, GCSEs, and A-levels (one was home-schooled, the other attended a local comprehensive and 6th Form College). Both obtained numerous As and A*s, and I was particularly pleased to help my daughter to achieve 3 A*s in her A2 exams.

Tutoring Approach:
I look at what is important for the student. I emphasise clear, logical ways of working, and clear presentation. I make sure that they realise that they not only need to understand why they are doing something, but they must also be able to explain it clearly. Explaining a difficult concept to someone else can often be the best way to make yourself remember it. I am calm and patient, and English is my first language, all of which can help when a student finds something tricky.

I am consistently available for tutoring during weekday daytimes. I will sometimes be available in the evenings and at weekends, but this will be by arrangement and should not be relied upon.

Personal Description:
Hi I'm Elise! A second year environmental science student at Lancaster University. I have a wide range of science knowledge and am excited to begin sharing and supporting GCSE aged pupils grow in their knowledge and interest of the sciences as well! Outside of tutoring, I spend lots of my time playing the flute, reading, and hiking! I'm looking forward to beginning this tutoring journey in a fun, creative and beneficial way .

Teaching Experience:
I have experience tutoring one to one close friends and family but I believe I am suited to further tutoring since I already have quite a lot of experience in supporting and facilitating young people in scouting since I am an experienced scout leader in the Winchester district. I also would say I have a recent and relevant understanding of the GCSE syllabus and examinations, especially in the sciences since I am currently taking a Bsc Environmental Science degree and my passion for science has only grown since I took my GCSE's.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring will be adapted specially to each student, depending on how they prefer to be taught but also recognizing weaknesses in the syllabus and working on those until overall confidence is build. I hope to teach in a creative, interactive way that will not only build confidence in the syllabus but also in exam technique and exam nerves too, especially for GSCE students. I am happy to teach all exam boards of combined Science GSCE and the sciences separately too.

Please contact me if you have any questions :)

Personal Description:
Hi, I'm Daiki. I'm originally from Japan and now live in Lichfield, UK.

I enjoy helping people learn Japanese in a relaxed, friendly and practical way. Whether you are learning Japanese for travel, hobbies, culture, anime, school, exams, or simply because you love Japan, I can support you step by step.

My lessons are personalised to each student's goals, level and learning style. I focus on building confidence and helping students use real Japanese in natural situations, not just memorise from textbooks.

My background is in teaching and education. I originally worked as a Japanese history teacher, so I can also include Japanese culture, history, education and study in Japan in lessons where relevant.

I welcome complete beginners, younger learners, and students preparing for JLPT N5/N4.

Teaching Experience:
My background includes around 9 years of teaching experience in Japan and around 2 years of experience working in education in the UK.

In Japan, I worked as a teacher in mainstream secondary schools, mainly teaching Japanese history. In the UK, I have experience supporting students with individual learning needs, including one-to-one support.

At the moment, I teach Japanese privately to several learners, including UK secondary school students and adult learners. I also teach at a Japanese supplementary school on Saturdays.

I enjoy creating lessons that are clear, relaxed and suited to each student's goals. Lessons can include conversation, grammar, reading, writing, travel Japanese, Japanese culture, education in Japan, study in Japan, and JLPT preparation. I can also use textbooks such as Genki, depending on the student's level and goals.

Tutoring Approach:
Online lessons are £25 for 50 minutes.

Face-to-face lessons are £30 for 1 hour.

My teaching style is friendly, patient and flexible. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable, practical and not stressful.

Lessons are adapted to each person's goals, whether they want to improve conversation skills, prepare for a trip to Japan, understand Japanese culture, study for JLPT, or build confidence from the very beginning.

I like to explain things clearly and give students plenty of opportunities to practise using Japanese naturally. I can use textbooks such as Genki, but I also include real-life examples, conversation practice and cultural topics depending on the student's interests.

Mistakes are an important part of learning, so my lessons are a relaxed space where students can build confidence step by step.

Face-to-face lessons are available locally, either at the student's home or at a suitable public place. Home-based lessons may also be possible by arrangement.

An additional travel fee may apply for lessons outside Lichfield.

Personal Description:
I'm a maths tutor based in Hounslow, London, with about a year of experience working with young people. Most of my work has been one-to-one and in small groups, through ChalkDuster, Brunel University London, and Queen Mary University of London.

I mainly teach math to KS2, KS3, and KS4 GCSE students. A lot of what I do is help students with topics they've struggled with in class and explain things in a different way until it finally clicks for them. I've worked with a mix of students, including some with SEN and SEMH needs, so I'm used to adjusting how I teach depending on the person in front of me.

One thing I care about is building confidence. A lot of students come to me feeling anxious about math or thinking they're just "not a math person." I try to create a relaxed environment where it's okay to get things wrong and where we work through problems step by step until we feel more sure of ourselves.

My own background is in math, science, and computer science, and I hold a master's in cloud computing. I enjoy tutoring because I like seeing the moment a student goes from feeling stuck to actually understanding something. I'm looking for tutoring work where I can keep doing that and keep improving as a teacher.

Teaching Experience:
I've been tutoring math for about a year now, across a few different places.

Right now I'm working as a teaching assistant with Queen Mary University of London on their outreach program. I run maths sessions for KS3 and KS4 students and visit partner schools to support students one-to-one and in small groups. I mostly help them work through topics they've found tricky in class. Working alongside the lead tutors has taught me a lot about planning a lesson, managing a room, and keeping students engaged when the maths gets harder.

I also work as a teaching assistant at Brunel University London, supporting math sessions for KS2, KS3, and KS4 students. I sit in while the lead teacher introduces a topic, then step in to help the students who are finding it harder to follow or who need it explained a different way. Working closely with experienced teachers has been really useful for picking up classroom management.

Before this, I worked as a mathematics tutor at ChalknDuster, teaching KS2 to KS4. I planned and delivered lessons aligned with the UK National Curriculum, focused on exam techniques and closing gaps in students' knowledge. A big part of my job there was building confidence and helping students who had a lot of math anxiety.

I also did weekly tutoring with WeSolveProblems through the University of Leicester, working with students in years 6 to 11 on core topics like algebra, geometry, and number, as well as exam-style problem solving.

Across all of these, I've mostly done one-to-one and small-group work, which is the kind of teaching I enjoy most.

Tutoring Approach:
My main goal is to help students actually understand what they're doing, not just memorise steps to pass a test. So I try to explain the "why" behind the math, not only the "how."

Every student is different, so the first thing I do is work out where they're at and where the gaps are. Some students just need a topic explained in a different way, while others have missed something earlier on and need to go back and fill that in first. Once I understand that, I can adjust how I teach to suit them.

I like to keep sessions relaxed. A lot of students feel anxious about math or think they're "just not good at it," so I try to make it okay to get things wrong. We work through problems step by step, and I get the student to do as much of the thinking as possible rather than just watching me solve it. When they get stuck, I ask questions to guide them instead of giving the answer straight away.

I also try to build confidence as we go. I point out what they've done well, set work that's challenging but not overwhelming, and celebrate the small wins. Over time, this helps students feel more sure of themselves and more willing to try.

When it comes to exams, I make sure we cover the right techniques and practice past-paper-style questions so students know what to expect and feel prepared.

In the end, I want students to leave a session feeling like they understand more than they did before and a bit more confident about math in general.
