Subjects

Personal Description:
I graduated from the University of Nottingham in June 2012 with a degree in mathematics, with honours. I also attained A, A and B in my maths, further maths and physics A Levels, respectively.

Since graduating, I have worked in finance departments and technology, while tutoring part-time. Because my passion for helping others with their maths has grown, I have been tutoring full-time for over a year now.

My aim is always to get the student to think critically and learn the topics thoroughly, whilst inspiring them to want to learn more about the fascinating world of mathematics.

I am available for both online and in-person tutoring.

Since lock-down in March, all the students I was tutoring face-to-face switched over to tutoring online. I used Zoom for video chat and bitpaper.io for an online whiteboard. This was successful for me and my students.

Teaching Experience:
I was tutoring mathematics part-time after leaving university in 2012 and due to positive feedback, I have been tutoring full-time since last year. I tutor students from KS3 through to A Level including Further maths A Level. I am very up-to-date with all syllabuses, exam techniques and requirements.

Tutoring Approach:
Everyone learns at a different pace and in different ways. My primary goal is to listen and communicate well with each student, so that I can really understand their needs and cater for them; in turn, they get the most out of each lesson. Furthermore, I actively engage each student with what they need (or want) to learn, as opposed to them taking a back seat. I encourage students to ask lots of questions because it gives an opportunity to discuss and challenge what they know.

I motivate students to want to learn and to do well. One thing I do differently from others is I explain how what they are learning is relevant to the real world. I have found that this makes it more exciting, interesting and enjoyable for the student, and they tend to engage more in the lessons. I try and strike a balance between motivating students, but not stressing them out too much.

Working through many examples from the syllabus is important and reinforces what the student has learned. I ensure this aspect of learning is both challenging and productive, ultimately getting the student closer towards their goal of achieving a high grade in their exams.

I am efficient with time management so that each student gets the most out of each lesson. I strongly encourage them to spend time outside of the session learning, including setting them homework, because this is where they will make their biggest strides forward.

Tutoring Approach:
Many students are not fully familiar with the subject matter and this is the most important thing! They need to understand the facts in order to remember them and apply them. Students need to have much practice with the mathematical aspects of the course and understand how to manipulate equations, establish constants,interpret graphs and answer questions using the relevant details.

Personal Description:
Hello, My name is Lincoln, I graduated from Heriot-Watt University with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. I am presently a master's student at Newcastle University, pursuing a master's in Applied Mathematics. I worked as a teacher assistant during my school days in Math classes and supported students who had difficulties with the subject. I think Mathematics is accessible to all; we only need to discover the best methods of presenting the concepts as educators. I assist my students in boosting their confidence when tackling new questions and encourage them to utilize their creativity alongside their knowledge when confronting a challenging problem. Remember that studying Mathematics revolves around making errors and gaining knowledge from those errors.

I have participated in numerous Mathematics Olympiads as well. I've studied Mathematics thoroughly from the start, which means I also instruct my students in a way that encourages understanding Mathematics, NOT rote memorization

Teaching Experience:
I specialise in tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology from KS1 up to A-Levels. My teaching experience includes both one-to-one sessions and group classes in tuition centres, which has given me a deep understanding of how personalised support can significantly enhance a student's grasp of challenging subjects. My lessons are structured to ensure clarity, engagement, and complete understanding of each topic covered.

I strive to create a positive and motivating learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions, challenge themselves, and develop a resilient approach to their studies. Drawing from my own academic journey, I aim to instil not only subject knowledge but also the habits and mindset necessary for long-term academic success

Tutoring Approach:
My lessons are carefully tailored to suit your individual learning style and the subject you're working on. Whether it's tackling tricky equations in Maths, breaking down complex processes in Biology, or making sense of chemical reactions in Chemistry-I'll adapt the lesson to what you need. We might walk through exam-style questions together or go through past papers-whatever helps you learn best.

Every session starts with checking your understanding of the topic so we can focus on the areas where you need the most support. I don't believe in rushing through the syllabus just to get it done. Instead, I take the time to break difficult concepts into simple, manageable chunks that actually stick.

I also aim to make learning enjoyable and meaningful. I'll show you how these subjects connect to real life, explain things clearly and simply, and keep you motivated every step of the way. With over three years of tutoring experience, I know how to build your confidence and help you improve-fast.

If you're ready to boost your GCSE grades in Maths, Biology, or Chemistry, book a lesson with me and let's get started. One session could be the turning point!

Personal Description:
I'm Mel, a father of three children living in Manchester. I tutor for entrance exams and GCSE and KS3 Maths, English, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Additionally I tutor A level Biology and welcome adult learners.

Teaching Experience:
For the last ten years I have tutored hundreds of students in Maths, English, Biology, chemistry and Physics. I've also taught a number of students in the US, China, Russia, Canada and many countries in Europe. To date I have taught 20,000+ lessons.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to keep a flexible teaching style to work out what is best for each student.

Depending on what you need help with, we`ll work together in your first lesson to design a plan that will take you to where you need to be.

This might involve practising your maths skills, gaining confidence with concepts on the syllabus, or translating your knowledge more effectively into marks on your exam. Many students struggle with exam technique and it is definitely something a little tutoring can help with.

I have developed plenty of resources through my experience as a tutor to help students learn the key concepts on the biology syllabus for GCSE and A Level, and to get better at using this to tackle the harder exam questions. We`ll use a combination of slideshows, online whiteboard tasks, lots of discussion, and past paper practice to help you get the marks you need.

If you are happy to, I might ask you to do some practice for homework or to read up on some topics we will cover before the lesson. I find this can also help students with time management and study skills. For those looking to go on to study at university, this can be particularly helpful.

I also offer advice and practice interviews for those looking to apply to university for biology and related STEM subjects. This includes personal statement tips, ideas for developing your extracurricular interests, and help presenting yourself at interview.

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.
