Personal Description:
I am Dr. Clare, a full-time professional tutor, a current GCSE and A-level examiner, and a former University Lecturer in Pharmacy (University of Nottingham), as well as a past Vice-President of the professional body for private tuition.

I hold a PhD from Imperial College London and have a strong academic and research background. I have led cutting-edge projects for multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations, including Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Zeneca, and Novartis. My published research has been cited over 7000 times in peer-reviewed literature, and I currently serve on the editorial boards of several respected international scientific journals. My passion for science and mathematics, combined with real-world research experience, allows me to bring subjects to life and make complex ideas accessible and engaging.

Alongside my own tutoring, my son-an MEng student at Aston University-works with me as an employee of my business supporting GCSE students in Maths and Physics. He has full access to my teaching resources, holds a current DBS check, and offers sessions at £30 per hour.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities, and I am committed to helping each individual reach their full potential. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and tailored to the unique strengths and needs of every learner.

With extensive experience as a tenured university lecturer, I have taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and have supervised eight PhD students to successful completion. I have also interviewed numerous UCAS applicants and can provide expert guidance on crafting strong personal statements and preparing for university applications.

Teaching Experience:
My students consistently achieve outstanding results. At A-level, the most recent set of results were 100% A*-C grades, with 85% achieving A*-A, 8% B, and 7% C. Every student secured a place at their first-choice university, with 31% progressing to medical school. These results are consistent year-on-year. At GCSE (2025), students achieved 100% grades 9-7 on Higher Tier papers, and 100% grade 5 on Foundation Tier papers-the highest grade available at that level.

I have been a full-time professional tutor for over thirteen years and was elected Vice-President of The Tutors' Association, the UK's professional body for tutors-an acknowledgement of my standing within the profession.

I have extensive experience across all major examination boards, including AQA, OCR, Edexcel, IB, and CIE. As a current and highly experienced Biology examiner and question setter, I provide students with valuable insight into how marks are awarded and how to approach exams strategically from an examiner's perspective.

In addition to tutoring, I have recent secondary school teaching experience, ensuring my methods remain closely aligned with current curricula and classroom expectations.

I also have significant experience supporting students with a wide range of additional needs, including autism (and Asperger's), ADHD, dyslexia, and partial hearing. Furthermore, having lived and worked internationally, I am well equipped to support students for whom English is an additional language.

My experience allows me to adapt my teaching to suit each individual, helping students build confidence, master exam technique, and achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Approach:
I deliver tuition either face to face (students travel to me), or online via Zoom.

Where students travel to me, I offer a dedicated quiet space for tuition free from distractions and with all of my resources and reference books to hand.

Online tuition is carried out via Zoom. Whilst some students are initially concerned that online will be impersonal, once experienced it tends to be the preferred option for many. It Online offers significant advantages: students can learn in a comfortable, familiar environment, avoid travel time and disruptions, and benefit from a more flexible and environmentally friendly approach.

Each session is supported with high-quality resources. Students receive a detailed AI-generated summary after every lesson, along with a PDF copy of all work completed on my interactive whiteboard-providing clear, structured notes to revisit and reinforce learning between sessions.

My teaching is highly personalised. Before tuition begins, we agree clear goals, and I design a tailored programme of study to meet the student's specific needs and aspirations. Progress is carefully monitored throughout, with ongoing assessment and adaptation to ensure each student continues to develop effectively and confidently.

Above all, I believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable. I am approachable, supportive, and committed to creating a positive learning environment where students feel motivated and confident-because when students enjoy their learning, they achieve their very best.

Personal Description:
Hello there! My name is Tanyel and I am an undergraduate student at King's College London. I study BA French and Management and will be entering my second year in September.

I am available to tutor over the summer 2013 starting immediately, with a possibility of continuing this for when I am back at university.

Teaching Experience:
I have a wide range of tutoring experience. This originated from when I was in Sixth Form and developed a knack for explaining things to my classmates and friends. Since then, my enjoyment in tutoring has led me to be involved in two tutoring projects. This is both privately in my local area and also voluntarily, the latter being with my university and an organisation called Team Up ().

Tutoring Approach:
We would work through a main textbook (CGP range seems to work best) and I provide explanations in a clearer, more interactive manner to clarify understanding. I then set homework tasks based on what we have learnt. I can connect with all my students on a friendly level in this way, pausing to answer any questions, whilst ensuring progression and focus at all times. I have seen this approach work countless times in my experience. In some cases, students enjoy it so much they ask me to set them even more homework!

Hello fellow mathematicians!

I'm Chris, a 23 year old maths PhD student at Brunel University. I was originally granted a School Studentship to fund my studies but then soon after starting my research I was upgraded to an ESPRC grant. I study maths because I enjoy it, and enthusiasm to teach it comes part of this package. For A-level and higher I specialize in pure maths, so algebra, calculus etc so if you happen to be struggling with areas such as these then I'm your guy. Any level lower than A-level I will also be happy to help with.

I do not have a current CRB check but I'm sure I could get one if it is needed - I haven't commited any crimes trust me.

Teaching Experience:
Whilst in 6th form and during my undergraduate years I often went back to my secondary school to help out in the maths department.

For the past academic year I have taught many seminars for foundation, 1st and 2nd year undergraduates. These have ranged from 2-100 students per seminar.

I tutored in the Maths Cafe which is to aid student's revision before their summer examinations.

Personal Description:
I have been a fully qualified teacher for over 6 years and I absolutely love what I do! I have particular interest in working with children on a 1-1 basis as I love to personalise their learning and help them to see things in a different way then they may have been taught and not quite understand before.

I strongly believe that if children are having fun then they will learn and be able to reach their full potential. I have seen such wonderful results with this over my teaching career so far. I create small achievable targets for my children so not only their learning can progress but so can their confidence!

No child should ever be worried about learning as we all learn things at different rates and in different ways! It's our job as teachers to ensure we find the best way for them!

Teaching Experience:
I have been a qualified teacher for over 6 years and I have been lucky enough to teach in London and in Wales. I am currently a full time class teacher in a Welsh primary school.

I have been running my own private tuition sessions for over a year now. We do have lots of positive feedback that has been left and there are lots of lovely pictures of the children on there taking part in some of the activities we do.

Tutoring Approach:
I tutor children in my own purpose built classroom in Mold - just off the A55.

There is a coffee shop 2 mins drive away if parents want to stay close by or a soft play center (Infinity) just on the corner if little ones need entertaining whilst waiting for a sibling.

Personal Description:
I am currently attending Cardiff University, where I have just finished my first year, studying Accounting. I am currently offering tutoring in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, until October.

I thoroughly enjoying helping people progress and sharing my love of learning! I pride myself on my enthusiasm and my approachable, relaxed nature.

Regarding what I am able to teach -
I currently am offering 11 plus tutoring as well as A Level Mathematics.
I offer C1, C2, C3, C4, S1 and S2 Mathematics modules, across all boards, as well as Biology A level topics, also across all boards. The exam board I took my own exams in was OCR MEI (for Mathematics) and OCR A for Biology.

I am aware the A Level syllabus has now changed from modular to linear, and have tutored a Year 12 student doing Mathematics under the new course. The content is very similar to previous years - it is just the style of the exam that has changed!

Teaching Experience:
I have taken on a number of leadership roles, both in school and in my freetime. I ran House Art, an intraschool competition, during Year 13, and held the rank of Corporal for the last few years of my time as a cadet as part of St John Ambulance.

Prior to going to university, I tutored two students in A level Mathematics (EdExcel and MEI OCR), who both achieved Bs, and one student in A level Biology (who achieved an A). While I have been in Cardiff, I have also been tutoring two students in A level Mathematics (both Edexcel).

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that a good teacher is vital for A level subjects such as Maths and Biology - otherwise it is easy to become lost in class and fall behind, which is where I hope to help! I am open to working with students in different ways depending on their requirements and how they work best, whether this involve helping with homework questions or teaching topics from scratch. I endeavor to establish a connection with students and am always contactable by text or email for help with questions or queries, over the week.

Personal Description:
I am a diligent and hard-working student who enjoys bringing new facts and contents into the minds of other people and adore helping, developing someone else's potential by sharing mine. As I am full of wonder, I relish taking an adventure within the study of almost any field and I aim to spread this positivity and my knowledge through teaching and mentoring students in an innovative way. I serve friendly behaviour and bring upon an optimistic attitude to any task, am very responsible and organisational, manipulate skills developed from hobbies, am self-disciplined and persevered to reach any goal, am punctual and balance between work and leisure. I get along well with a wide range of age groups from my social activities, tutoring experiences and my position as the second eldest in my family, I have spent a long time taking care of my younger siblings. I have been remarked as organised, polite, altruistic and supportive when I aid others from any perspective.

As I love helping others in struggle and to support others to reach higher goals, I have taught various age groups, held responsibility as a School Ambassador and School tutoring, volunteered to be a Reader Leader who helps those who struggle reading and understanding the story with success. I aid in writing model answers for GCSE & A-Level exam questions as well. From these experiences, not only have I built responsibilities and punctuality and polished my competencies but those who I mentor have developed their own self-esteem, confidence and perseverance to fulfil their own aspirations.

I am someone who has academically succeeded highly with 11A*s and 1 A in my GCSE subjects and am predicted to get 4A* in my A-Level subjects this summer 2021. I have been awarded many times for UKMT, Chemistry and Physics Olympiad challenges. Not only am I determined to excel greatly academically but I enjoy hobbies that are based on creativity: DIY craft and art, piano, dancing, sport, ballet. I am also fluent in English and relatively fluent in Korean with a basic level of French language.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught various age groups from 5 to 18.

I have conducted my past tutor sessions based on creativity of my hobbies such as art, which always worked absolutely well. I tutored very young children outside school who lacked motivation, in Sciences and Mathematics since when I was a GCSE student. I have many experiences working with children, especially with spending my work experience as an assistant in a primary school class, I was able to deal with various situations to keep the children calm, focused and motivated. In these instances, I aimed to ensure that they understood all aspects of the content, therefore, embedding simple terminologies and associating similar example situations for comparison to ease the hard contents. Nonetheless, I was very tolerant of any issue during the online teaching and was strongly resilient for full engagement.

I volunteered as a tutor for students aged 8 and 12, I was responsible and was relied upon to plan the meetings via emails where they suited their best learning time in advance. I utilised my organisational skills to collect resources and investigated various methods of teaching to find the most efficient way to deliver difficult contents. Hence, especially for biology, I altered the way I presented the resources so they suited the students' own learning attitude appropriately. I evolved my communication competency whilst discovering the students' difficulty and preferred revision methods, also.

As a school tutor during my A-Level studies, I have tutored GCSE students for Mathematics. I applied my patience to introduce difficult ideas carefully. In the cases for tutoring mechanics, my tutee found it difficult to identify and link various components of the forces together and to grasp the content clearly. Thus, I investigated the source of this lack of understanding then gave a clear explanation and support. Afterwards, I managed to explain various application questions using the struggling contents and interacting with my tutee (ie. asking what the next step would be) as I went through the questions to expand his understanding. I shared my method of working out the questions logically and giving clear guidance helped him greatly, hence, I was able to see improvement in his speed of understanding and solving of the questionnaires, showing a transition in his grades in Mathematics.

Tutoring Approach:
My mentoring sessions are carried out in innovative ways to find the best route for my mentees.

My mentoring sessions are carried out in innovative ways to ensure all aspects of the content is understood (ex: embedding simple terminologies and associating everyday situations for comparison to ease the hard contents), are full of collated useful resources and present them in the most appropriate way for individual's own learning styles, are delivered with tolerance and patience at all times. My teaching methodology becomes flexible to appropriately suit the individual's learning styles to efficiently carry this tutoring session forward. However, my basic format of teaching is always going through the struggling content to make sure the understanding of it becomes clear then is based on questionnaires in-between going through the content or (application) questions to check upon the students' understanding then involves various interactive activities (ex: quiz, mix-match, ...) to engage the learning. I always work towards finding the best route for my mentees. Through my tutor sessions, my tutees always develop their confidence, self-esteem and their competencies.

Personal Description:
My name is Jeannie, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a tutor specializing in math and computer science subjects. I am a fresh System Engineering graduate from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
As an engineering major, I possess a strong foundation in mathematical principles and computational concepts. I am well-versed in various branches of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, discrete mathematics, and statistics. Additionally, my expertise in computer science extends to programming languages, data structures, algorithms, software development, and more.

Teaching Experience:
I tutored primary to GCSE level student's Mathematics in my undergraduate years part-time.

Tutoring Approach:
1. Assessment and Goal Setting:
- Begin by assessing the student's current knowledge and understanding of the subject.
- Have an open conversation with the student and their parents to understand their goals and expectations from the tutoring sessions.

2. Individualized Lesson Plan:
- Based on the assessment and the student's goals, create a customized lesson plan that covers the necessary topics and skills.
- Break down the lessons into manageable units, ensuring a logical progression from foundational concepts to more advanced ones.

3. Clear Learning Objectives:
- Clearly communicate the learning objectives to the student at the beginning of each session.
- Ensure that the objectives are measurable and specific. For example, "By the end of this session, the student will be able to solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula."

4. Engaging Teaching Methods:
- Encourage student participation and active engagement during the sessions. Ask questions, initiate discussions, and provide opportunities for the student to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills.
- Assign regular practice exercises and homework to reinforce the concepts learned during the tutoring sessions.
- Provide constructive feedback on the student's work, highlighting areas of improvement and acknowledging their progress.
- Incorporate regular review sessions to revisit previously covered material and ensure long-term retention.

5. Progress Monitoring and Adjustments:
- Regularly assess the student's progress through quizzes, tests, or periodic evaluations. Use this information to identify areas that require further focus and to track overall improvement.
- Continuously adapt the tutoring plan based on the student's progress and feedback. If certain methods or approaches are not effective, be flexible and explore alternative strategies to ensure optimal learning.
