Personal Description:
I'm a very approachable person who interacts well with students of all ages. Most would say that I have a positive outlook on life and always leave a positive impact on those I meet. I'm friendly, down to earth and honest. My philosophy is that studies don't have to be boring, and I always use my career as a teacher/tutor as testament to this.

I enjoy a variety of different things such as arts, culture and cuisine. My hobbies include drawing comic strips, magna, anime and playing electric bass. I am open minded and welcome students of any age, race, background and culture as an honour for me to teach.

Teaching Experience:

Over 19 years experience teaching and tutoring in and out of classrooms. I have taught both in the UK and abroad. I am one of the few teachers in London who is able to teach Mathematics, English Language, English Literature and the three respective Sciences to A* at GCSE.

Valid DBS
School/Classroom references available
Tuition references available

Tutoring Approach:

Each student is different, and I feel it an insult to my students' integrity to tell them how to revise when first meeting them. Through my experience teaching, there is no right way to study, but there are a variety of 'better' ways to make the best grades for each person's potential.

Many students approach me frustrated that they often don't achieve the same calibre as their peers despite the hours they put in. Often it is due to the fact that they aren't their peers and a different approach to revision and homework is required. I believe in working smart before working hard.

We'll tailor a program as a team, and prioritise it factorising your: current ablities, time proximity, and scope of subjects you'd like to cover.

Personal Description:
Thank you very much for looking at my profile. Currently I am working as Head of Physics/ teacher of Science in a School. (Details available on Request.) I Have worked as a teacher of Physics and as a science teacher in various independent and state schools and taught science teacher across all key stages and A level Physics and medical science. I am also working with many Tutoring Agencies.

Teaching Experience:

More than 22 year experience in teaching with Different institution and Schools.

Currently working as a Head of Physics/ teacher of Science and teaching all three Science up to GCSE (across all key stages) Physics and Maths up to A level.

Also working as with many tutoring agency such as Top Tutors,Galaxies Learning and Delta Tutors. More than 22 year experience in group Tution as well as one to one.

Worked In various School.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe dont go for per hour price just look towards quality of education not quantity and result will be in your hand.
My tutoring approach will depend on the students learning ability, I can differentiate the student according to different range of ability and then work according to that.
I believe that tutoring should in most cases supplement the teaching that is received at school. I will focus on any difficulties that the student is facing and also concentrate on answering exam questions - especially answering techniques. If the student requires more extensive teaching of the syllabus then I will happy to go through this in further detail.
I honestly believe that a Teacher hasn't taught until the student has learnt.

Personal Description:
I started tutoring in 2009 and have been an associate lecturer in Earth Sciences with the Open University since 2014. I love all science and am passionate about supporting learners of all ages and abilities to achieve their best, while hopefully finding a bit of the magic in the subject along the way!

I'm also a student myself, in the process of writing up my PhD which is focused on the tectonic evolution of central Greece,

I'm based in North London, living in Finsbury Park, and I've lived here most of my life... 44 years old and counting!

Teaching Experience:

I have been a tutor of secondary school sciences/Geography (KS3 - A Level) since 2009.
I have taught science at secondary school and revision colleges teaching KS3, GCSE and A Level.
I am an associate lecturer in Earth Science and Evolutionary Biology with the Open University (Since 2014).
I have have had various fixed-term lectureships teaching geology and palaeontology at UCL & Birkbeck College (London).

Tutoring Approach:

My core approach:

Is friendly and student-centred, empowering students to succeed in their studies with support and guidance every step of the way.

Focuses on developing a real grasp of the key concepts central to the course of study, including homework support and ample practice to refine exam technique.

Provides a safe and supportive atmosphere where no question is too daft and the focus is constantly on the journey towards achieving the best possible results in exams and coursework.

Personal Description:
I am an experienced maths and science teacher with nearly 30 years experience. I have worked as a teacher and head of maths in sixth form college and I have a PhD in physical chemistry.
A bit of background about me: I completed my degree in chemistry in 1993 and began my PhD in physical chemistry the following year. Following completion of my PhD I continued to work in academic research in physical and materials chemistry until 2002 when I changed career to work in industry. I initially started off as a chemist in an analytical laboratory before working my way into senior management in the automotive, chemical and oil industries. My areas of industrial expertise also cover quality, environmental and health and safety auditing and management. I then moved into full time education and teaching in 2012 where I found my true vocation.
I first began tutoring nearly 30 years ago and I enjoyed it so much that I have maintained a small tuition business over the years prior to committing to a full time career in education. I also coach kayaking and cycling.
I am experienced with online tuition. I am experienced with using a number of different platforms and can help you get set up if needed. For online tuition I use an electronic white board which the student can also write on and other media platforms as required.
I have some online availability at weekends and also evenings. I am also prepared to travel in the Sittingbourne area.

Teaching Experience:

I have worked as Head of Mathematics in a local sixth form teaching GCSE and A level maths including further maths and I have also taught chemistry at GCSE and A level in school.
I have experience of teaching chemistry up to and including degree level and I have also supervised students up to and including PhD level in chemistry. I have also taught physics and maths to undergraduate science students.
I have a PhD in physical chemistry and an Honours degree in applied chemistry.
I am qualified with level 5 diploma in education and training and hold QTS status

Tutoring Approach:

I believe in helping the student to understand fully what they are learning not just reciting information from memory. Not all students can recall everything they are told to memorise but understanding how something works or what causes something to happen is more readily remembered. Breaking down difficult subjects into more easily understood concepts in a progressive manner makes learning less stressful and more readily absorbed.
Everyone learns at different rates hence I am flexible with bookings and the amount of time required to cover what needs to be learned.

Personal Description:
With over a decade of professional experience across education, healthcare, and scientific research, I bring a unique and richly layered skill set to students at all academic levels. I am a Qualified Teacher (QTS) and a recent PGCE graduate with a science specialism, currently teaching across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. My extensive background includes roles as a Science Teacher, Science Technician, Trainee Biomedical Scientist (NHS), Pharmacovigilance Specialist, and Quality Assurance Specialist within clinical and regulatory healthcare environments.

I hold two Master's degrees MSc in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and a Distinction-awarded MSc in Healthcare Leadership which underpin my rigorous academic approach and commitment to evidence-based teaching and mentoring. My professional and academic journey equips me to support students in a wide range of subjects, including GCSE and A-Level Sciences, healthcare and nursing coursework, leadership and management assignments, and dissertation projects requiring in-depth critical analysis and Harvard referencing.

I specialise in:

1) Homework and curriculum support across KS3-KS5 in Science (Chemistry, Biology, and Physics)
2) University-level coursework, including healthcare leadership, nursing, and care-related qualifications (Levels 3, 5, and 7)
3) Academic mentoring, including research proposals, literature reviews, leadership tasks, and full dissertation support
4)Personalised guidance on scientific writing, referencing, academic integrity, and critical thinking development

Above all, I strive to empower each learner to exceed their goals and grow in academic confidence, while fostering deep subject understanding through adaptive teaching tailored to individual needs. Whether you're preparing for exams, tackling university assignments, or pursuing professional development, I am here to help you succeed and thrive.

Teaching Experience:

With a strong foundation in both education and health sciences, I bring an integrative and practice-informed approach to teaching and tutoring. As a Qualified Teacher (QTS) with a completed PGCE in Secondary Science (Chemistry Specialism), I have taught across multiple London-based schools, including structured placements and real classroom instruction at both Key Stage 3 and 4 levels. I am well-versed in delivering AQA, OCR, and Edexcel curricula, with hands-on experience planning and providing full schemes of learning, assessing student progress, and managing classroom dynamics effectively.
Over the years, I have worked in six different secondary schools across London, serving in capacities including science teacher, science technician, and teaching assistant. I regularly stepped up to deliver complete lessons during teacher absences and collaborated with departments to design, demonstrate, and adapt practical experiments that align with national curriculum requirements. My classes are interactive, inclusive, and geared towards deep understanding, utilising a range of strategies that include visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning.
Alongside my educational expertise, I possess a distinguished career in healthcare and biomedical science, having worked across four NHS Trusts (Chelsea and Westminster, Royal Free London, Epsom & St Helier, and Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells). As a trainee biomedical scientist in histopathology, I've analysed biological specimens and explored disease pathways in real clinical settings, translating these insights into powerful learning tools for students interested in science, nursing, or medicine.
This dual exposure to real-world healthcare and frontline teaching significantly enriches my tutoring. I specialise in bridging classroom science with its real-life applications, making topics more relevant, engaging, and impactful. My support extends from primary and secondary education to university-level students, including those studying nursing, healthcare leadership, and biomedical sciences.
Academic Contributions and Specialist Coursework:
• Leadership in Healthcare: Developed reflective essays and action plans grounded in Kotter's and Goleman's theories to explore personal leadership growth.
• Innovation & Change: Created quality improvement project proposals using PDSA and other evaluation models.
• Patient Safety & Quality: Delivered critical analyses of healthcare incidents, policy frameworks, and safety protocols using real case studies.
• Policy & Global Health: Presented advanced policy analysis via a 10-minute narrated presentation examining the evolution of UK health policy.
• Capstone Project: Delivered a full poster and narrative evaluating the integration of AI, predictive analytics, and psychosocial support in dementia care demonstrating academic rigour and healthcare foresight.
My personable approach, deep subject expertise, and commitment to adapting instruction to every learner's needs make me a trusted educational partner for students across London and beyond.

Tutoring Approach:

Tutoring Approach (Updated Version)
My tutoring approach is grounded in academic precision, real-world relevance, and a deep commitment to inclusive, adaptive learning. With a Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE in Secondary Science, I integrate my classroom teaching experience with a strong scientific foundation in biomedical science and healthcare leadership. I tailor each session to support diverse learning styles visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and reading/writing ensuring students of all abilities can access, understand, and retain complex scientific concepts.
To deepen engagement, I design sessions using:
• Scenario-based learning
• Annotated diagrams and mind maps
• Real-life clinical examples
• Modelled answers and worked examples
• Interactive PowerPoints and digital whiteboards
This multi-modal teaching strategy enhances comprehension, exam readiness, and critical thinking across all key stages and university levels.
Having worked as a trainee biomedical scientist across several NHS Trusts and at LGC (Local Government Chemist) Europe's leading scientific laboratory I bring advanced scientific expertise into every lesson. From analysing biological specimens for disease pathology to detecting complex substances like cocaine and heroin, I translate these experiences into tangible, relatable lessons that inspire students and build curiosity.
Technology plays a central role in my sessions. I use:
• Laptops and tablets for simulations and assessments
• Short videos and animations to visualise processes
• Live demonstrations and experiments (where applicable)
• Curated lecture notes and handouts for revision and consolidation
Each student receives bespoke academic resources before and after sessions, reinforcing learning continuity and promoting independent study habits.
Furthermore, I regularly collaborate with science departments to plan and facilitate practical experiments that align closely with national curriculum specifications (AQA, OCR, Edexcel). This ensures students not only master theoretical knowledge but are fully prepared to apply it in practical settings, assessments, and future careers-whether in science, medicine, or health.
Ultimately, my goal is to transform each tutoring experience into a confident, high impact learning journey, equipping students with the academic tools, mindset, and motivation to excel beyond expectations.

Personal Description:
I have cisco webex software, zoom and skype, and am also DBS cleared

I am a highly experienced, enthusiastic and very versatile optical engineering senior lecturer/researcher, who gained a PhD from the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, City University, London, UK in "Fibre optical temperature and strain sensors using fluorescent techniques" for measurement applications using the fluorescence generated from rare earth-doped optical fibres (e.g. Er3+, Yb3+, Tm3+ etc.). I also possess very good experience and knowledge of industry, with excellent complimentary skills gained from higher education - in particular industrial measurement, forensic analysis, quality control and statistical analysis. A BSc first degree in forensic science is combined with a further specialist MSc in engineering metrology and topped with a PhD in photonics - making for good, broad-based, multi-disciplined measurement science and analytical capabilities right across the scientific spectrum. I have a proven high degree of personal motivation, and am capable of working on my own initiative or equally as part of an effective team. In addition, I am able to communicate very well at all levels of hierarchy, with excellent skills developed in scientific report writing (journal papers, periodicals, book chapters etc.) and oral presentation (conferences, lecturing etc). I have over 50 publications to date in my field: 20 journal papers, 22 conference papers, 2 articles, 4 book chapters and other major works.

PhD thesis title:

"Fibre optic sensors based on fluorescence lifetime techniques for temperature and strain measurement"

Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy
at
City University
School of Engineering

November 2002

Abstract

The author presents a thesis based upon the use of the fluorescent properties of rare earth doped materials. The thesis commences with a review of the current fibre sensor technology in the field, with special emphasis on those sensors designed for temperature and strain measurement. The use of the physical phenomena of fluorescence produced from rare earth doped optical fibre for temperature measurement is then introduced and explained in more detail, particularly with regard to utilisation of the fluorescence lifetime technique in such sensing, which is then compared to the other fluorescence-based methods for measuring temperature.

The recently discovered small strain sensitivity of the fluorescence lifetime is then introduced as a theoretical candidate for potential application to simultaneous temperature-strain sensing, using two different doped fibres in a single sensing element, and subsequently state-of-the-art temperature-strain discrimination techniques are then explored for the purposes of exploitation to dual measurement.

Results achieved from using the fluorescent lifetime approach for a range of rare earth materials are then presented, followed by further results obtained from combining the lifetime technique with Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) for the first time. Also, the irreversible effects upon FBG performance after exposure to long-term high temperatures are explored.

Finally, there is a summary of the work presented in this thesis and the author's opinions on achievements made. Current trends in fluorescence lifetime-based sensing are discussed, both commercially and academically, together with projected work for the future.

Personal Description:
I am a 34 year old Post doctoral researcher in the field of endocrinology.

My undergraduate degree (2010) was in Biology from Imperial College, London, where I continued to study to Masters level (2011) in Reproductive and Developmental Biology. between 2013-2016 I completed my PhD in reproductive endocrinology. therefore my knowledge of biology spans multiple subject areas.

I have A-levels in Biology, Physics, Maths and History and a keen interest in all of these subjects.

Having completed my PhD and fulfilled 3 post-doctoral research positions, I feel I have gained experience in the skills required at all levels of education to progress and succeed and would really like to help others to realise their academic talents and to succeed in their education.

Teaching Experience:

I am currently training for my postgraduate certificate of academic practice, for lecturing and small group teaching at undergraduate level.

I have been tutoring privately for the past 6 years and have successfully guided GCSE and A-Level students to achieve their goals, gaining further jobs through recommendation.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for overseeing and training undergraduate students in the laboratory and ensuring they have a key understanding of protocols, the biology behind them and how to use this knowledge to work out problems for themselves. This also involves mathematics skills, such as fractions, dilutions and molar concentrations, as well as helping them with any biology questions they may have outside of the lab. I provide feedback on presentation skills and on key learning skills required at degree level.

I have also had experience teaching students at A-level stage, in a two part workshop surrounding the biology of genetics. A key component of this is helping them to understand a totally new subject and to answer any questions they have surrounding university applications, study skills and personal statements.

I like to think this broad range of experience has taught me to interact with students of various ages and to recognise learning approaches that work best for different individuals.

Tutoring Approach:

The most important thing to consider is a student's personal requirements and to find a learning style that works for them. People learn in different ways so to teach in a style that maintains interest and works for the individual student is really important to me.

a goal based approach is important in my eyes. to understand what need to be learnt, by when and to work through a strategic plan to achieve the best results for the student.

Personal Description:
Hello, my name is Robert. Learning and teaching in some form has always been part of my life; my personal motto is "Never stop asking questions....". I am a dad of two lively children (10 & 7), a primary teacher and a private tutor. I have a can-do approach to life and am never happier than when I am busy with my work or with my family. I play classical guitar, always have at least one book on the go, and love to walk in the countryside whenever our busy lives permit.

Teaching Experience:

I have 12 years' experience as a teacher, the first years spent gaining experience, the later years in positions of responsibility culminating in being appointed Head of Science responsible for delivering the whole of the curriculum to years 7 to 13. I taught Combined Science up to age 14, Physics and Chemistry to GCSE and Physics and Geology A' levels. In addition to my classroom experience I have a TEFL qualification which I put to good use while I was living and working in France for 12 years tutoring French people on a 1:1 basis. I taught both children and adults to learn English in the spoken and written word. Since returning to the UK just over a year ago, I have been working as a supply teacher in local primary schools delivering the complete curriculum, and I have started my own tutoring business and have a number of students whom I see after school for Maths and/or English tuition.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe the greatest benefit of 1:1 tutoring (or tutoring small groups), is that it is so much easier to tailor the learning to the student's needs, aiding understanding and building on that towards mastery of a subject. Progress is often swift because as has been so often stated, 1:1 tuition for an hour is probably the equivalent of several days in the classroom! My initial approach is to assess the student's needs in the first couple of sessions, using the information gleaned to build a program of study that is particular to that student. With regards to TEFL, having lived abroad for 12 years I appreciate just how difficult it can be as an adult to learn a foreign language, so I have great empathy with my adult learners and love helping them get to grips with our complex language.

Personal Description:
My name is Ngum-Agnes, I am 18 years old. I live in Cardiff and am currently studying Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and French at A level.
I received all As and A*s at GCSE and A Levels and all A*s in the subject I am tutoring in.
I like to think of myself as friendly, polite and patient.

Teaching Experience:

I have had tutoring experiencing in the UK for over a year now in French, English, Mathematics, and Science.

I recently volunteered at children's orphanage in Africa where, among other things, I taught the Ethiopian children English. Doing so taught me the effectiveness and importance of patience and empathy when tutoring, as well as giving the pupil time to think through things in their own way.

Tutoring Approach:

I make sure to explain things slowly yet effectively and take time to understand the pupils way of learning and adapt my teaching in that way. I ensure that I am patient and friendly when tutoring and try to create a relaxed and calm but attentive atmosphere. I like to create a bond with my student so that they feel comfortable when learning but also eager and unafraid to ask questions when they do not understand.

Personal Description:
I am a secondary school science teacher with Physics specialism. I have tutored KS3 and KS4 while I was at university and have carried on since. I thoroughly enjoy the one to one interaction with students to help them learn and reach their potential.

Teaching Experience:

I have tutored Science for KS3 and Physics for KS4 for the last 7 years. I currently teach science and physics in a secondary school.

Tutoring Approach:

Most issues tutees encounter are due to a lack of confidence or an inadequate teaching method. Each person is different therefore various approaches -tailored to the tutee- have to be used to reach our objectives.

Your success is my success, your failure is also mine. So let's get started and put ourselves on the path to success


During the first session together, I use part of the time to discuss with the tutee objectives and expectations, hence only half the fee needs to be paid.

Personal Description:
My name is Adenike. I am a graduate of University of South Wales, with a PGCE in Numeracy /Mathematics. I also had a first degree in Computer Forensics. I have the ability to develop good relationships with students, am patient, caring and kind. I have good oral and written communication skills, l am organise and very detailed.

Teaching Experience:

My acquired skills in the university gave me the opportunity to teach learners mathematics and ICT according to the curriculum requirements, at different settings namely: elementary, high schools and post - compulsory education. I have worked as a supply teacher in various schools in Newport, Cardiff and Barry. I also have had the opportunity to support learners with special education
needs to achieve learning.

Tutoring Approach:

I used various teaching strategies to achieve effective teaching and learning. I prepared learning resources according to the learners need, so they can achieve learning. I also used additional learning resources such as: online maths games, quizzes and cards to achieve effective teaching and learning.
I regularly assess my learners to ensure learners are acquiring all the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare them for the external GCSE examination. All the years, learners have come out in flying colours in their GCSE results at the end of their programmes and they proceed either to the College or University for further studies. Teaching has been very rewarding for me, because l have supported learners that are now fully qualified in various fields and it does make me fulfil in life.

Personal Description:
Passionate, experienced educator and Chartered Mechanical Engineer with an MBA from London Business School and a strong background in STEM fields.

Before tutoring, I worked in the city for large blue chip financial services organisations within technology and data architecture. And before that I worked for tech companies including Microsoft and Uber, taking some time to organise an expedition to Antarctica on behalf of HRH Prince Wales, the Commonwealth and the BBC. I've learned how to build and lead world-class teams and really enjoy bringing a love of mentoring into tutoring key subjects.

Beyond my work, I enjoy climbing and writing music, and I'm driven by a desire to help others succeed, both in the classroom and beyond.

Teaching Experience:

100% success rate in improving student's GCSE and A-Level performance by a minimum of 2 grades or to the top possible grade.

Experience in GCSE Maths and Physics; A-Level Maths, Further-Maths and Physics; Post-Graduate Business and Management.

"Thanks so much for all your help it really paid off! I really wasn't the biggest fan of maths but I will miss our tutoring lessons as I actually found them fun." - Tutee Testimonial

"I also want to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for the fantastic support you've given my daughter." - Tutee Parent Testimonial

General Experience:

I have also coached and mentored professionals throughout my career, guiding them through complex projects and helping them to achieve personal and team goals. My experience working with young people stems from my time as a mountain guide, where I took groups of children on outdoor expeditions, teaching them about the environment and leadership.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is to tailor each session to the student's individual needs, focusing on making challenging subjects like Maths, Economics and Physics more accessible and engaging.

I believe in building confidence through problem-solving and helping students develop critical thinking skills that will serve them well beyond their exams.

Drawing on my experience in high-pressure environments, I aim to foster resilience and curiosity, encouraging students to ask questions and explore topics from different angles.

Personal Description:
Hi! I'm a friendly and enthusiastic tutor who would love to help you understand subjects better. I currently study Biomedical Science at the University of Oxford.
I received A*AA in my A-levels, with a 90 and 92 in maths paper 1 and 2. I also took 12 GCSEs, achieving eight 9s in total, including in Maths, triple sciences and English literature.

Teaching Experience:

I have tutored the 11+ for four years, and am familiar with all common exam boards (GL, CEM, CSSE). Last year, I tutored 3 students for the 11+ with weekly sessions starting from early June, and some more sessions towards the end. Two received offers from Ilford and Woodford county, their first choice grammar school, while the other passed the exam for other grammar schools in the borough.

For GCSE's, I have professional experience tutoring GCSEs and KS3 english, maths and science at an Ofsted-registered tuition centre. I strongly believe with the right support and revision methods, anyone can pass their key subjects, even go on to get grades 2/3 levels higher than their predicted if they revise strategically. I would love to share my tips and tricks for maths, English and the sciences that helped me and many others attain A*s/9s.

Tutoring Approach:

I love Maths and Biology and would love to help you understand them aswell. I will personalise my lessons for each student, taking tests to see where you are weak and then we can improve on those topics.

Personal Description:
I am a dedicated and reflective education professional with a strong commitment to continuous learning and personal development. An enthusiastic reader who enjoys walking, travelling, and discovering new environments, bringing curiosity, cultural awareness, and adaptability into both professional and personal life. Fluent in French and Italian, with the ability to communicate confidently across cultures and build positive relationships. Approaches work with professionalism, openness, and a genuine interest in people and the world around them

Teaching Experience:

I'm a science teacher and I focus on supporting students' understanding and confidence in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
I am a dedicated professional with over 9 years of experience in education, committed to supporting students academically and personally.

Tutoring Approach:

I am available for One-to-One Tutoring that offers personalised attention, allowing me to tailor lessons to the student's pace and needs. It provides a more focused environment, which can lead to faster progress and better understanding.

I offer also Group Tutoring that Involves a small group of students learning together, which can enhance peer interaction and social learning. It can be beneficial for students who thrive in a collaborative environment and may benefit from peer support.
