Hi I’m Mahnoor! I am a qualified English teacher with years of experience both in tutoring and school teaching. I teach: Primary School KS1/KS2: English Secondary/High School GCSE: English Language (GCSE), English Literature (GCSE), Urdu and Law College A-level: Law Experience with: -KS1/KS2/KS3/KS4 - English England Curriculum -Students with disabilities/special needs (SEND) -ADHD/Autism/Dyslexia/ODD Languages: English, Urdu, and Punjabi No two children are the same, so a big part of my approach towards tutoring is to adapt each lesson towards that student’s needs in order to achieve their full potential. Why learn with me? I love to deliver lessons tailored to each student that are fun as well as engaging and I encourage students to interact as much as possible. I believe it’s important to make sure students are practicing what they’re taught or revising in their spare time and I am their biggest cheer leader to push them to meet targets! I have plenty of resources for activities, worksheets, homework and especially exam revision! As well as remaining friendly and an approachable person, I also strongly believe in creating and maintaining a professional relationship as a tutor. When I am not tutoring, I like to spend my time with my family, friends and most importantly- my daughter! During my downtime, I enjoy reading, painting and trying out new cooking recipes! I’ve studied a wide range of subjects from a young age! I did my Undergraduate bachelor degree in Law (LLB) and then went on to complete my Postgraduate Masters in Law (LLM) too. After some experience in the legal sector I realised I wanted to go towards a career in teaching as that’s what I’ve always loved the most! That led me to complete my teaching qualification (PGCE) where I additionally specialised in English and worked with primary and secondary school GCSE students. Along with teaching a variety of subjects, I aim to work with students professionally and motivate them to discuss career opportunities and specialisms. Whether it’s teaching Law, Urdu, Primary Education or English- I haven’t looked back since!

Hello! I'm Anoushka, a devoted Mechanical Engineering student at Bournemouth University, with a strong passion for mentoring the next generation in Mathematics, Physics,Chemistry,French and German. My extensive journey in Mechanical Engineering has equipped me with a profound understanding and expertise in these subjects. I channel this knowledge enthusiastically to provide comprehensive and approachable tutoring services to students from various exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and Eduqas. My tutoring methodology is not merely about conveying information; I aim to bring these subjects to life, elucidating their profound implications on our daily existence. In my teaching, I regularly infuse practical examples, with a goal to inspire a long-lasting love for learning in my students that stretches beyond textbooks and traditional classrooms. Understanding the unique learning styles of every student, I have honed a customised teaching approach. Combining this personal touch with my mentoring capacity, I've been successful in unveiling the hidden potentials of numerous students, facilitating significant academic progress. My students regularly improve their grades by as many as 5 levels within a single academic year. A particular accomplishment that I cherish is assisting a student initially grappling with German and Physics at grade 4, to metamorphose into an autonomous problem solver, who eventually achieved grade 9 in both German and Physics GCSE's. I am deeply familiar with the UK GCSE curriculum, owing to my continuous commitment to self-improvement and education. I frequently partake in professional development workshops and courses to stay updated with the evolving GCSE curriculum, exam structures, and contemporary teaching methodologies. This proactive approach empowers me to fully prepare my students for their examinations. At the core, I am committed to guiding my students on their academic journey, assisting them in becoming independent learners, primed and enthusiastic to tackle intricate problems. I put special emphasis on mastering those challenging exam questions that demand more than a rudimentary recall of information. I aim to imbue them with confidence and equip them to unlock their highest potential and secure top grades. This, in turn, enables them to advance in their future career paths. Witnessing my students' holistic growth, both academically and personally, overall brings me the greatest gratification. I am a third-year Mechanical Engineering student studying at Bournemouth University with my academic prowess evident in my A-level achievements in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry alongside stellar grades 7-9 in the same subjects together with French and German at GCSE level. These subjects are not just areas I teach; they are disciplines that I have actively pursued and excelled in throughout my academic career. One key asset that I bring as a tutor is my current status as a Mechanical Engineering student. This up-to-date, hands-on experience allows me to provide learners with fresh insights and contemporary applications of the principles they are studying. This can help to make the learning experience more engaging, relatable, and beneficial for students as they can see the practical relevance of what they are learning. Beyond my academic qualifications, I firmly believe in the transformative power of education and the potential every student holds. My interest in teaching extends beyond just conveying the subject matter. I am committed to understanding the individual learning styles of my students, allowing me to tailor my teaching approach to their needs. This personalised methodology ensures that learning becomes a process of discovery, making it a more enjoyable and effective experience. I am dedicated to helping students uncover and maximise their potential. My aim is to empower students by equipping them with the knowledge they need and by fostering an environment that encourages curiosity and creativity. I strongly believe that learning should be a process of exploration and self-discovery, rather than just rote learning.

Hello! :) My name is Cécile and I am twenty-four years of age. In 2021, I graduated from De Montfort University, Leicester with a Bachelors Degree in Drama and I am currently midway through my Insurance chartership. I will have my CII accreditation by February 2026. I currently work full-time as an Insurance Consultant but the highlight of my week, is supporting students on their academic journeys! :) I have been delivering high-quality teaching in both, face to face and virtual settings, for almost five years. I have operating as a freelance tutor on the GoStudent platform, since January 2022. On the 4th of January 2024, I received my 500th lesson certificate from GoStudent and since January 2022, I have delivered over 700 lessons on this platform, alone. Throughout this time, I have encouraged an array of students who vary in different strengths and abilities, to succeed/reach their goals! I teach the following subjects: Drama, English, History and French. Drama and English are both taught from, Primary through to Degree level. History is taught from GCSE through to As/A-Level. French is taught from Primary through to GCSE standard. I also teach French to individuals who are looking to learn the language, from scratch. I possess dual nationality - I am half French and half English. I also conduct lessons providing coursework and exam help. I love keeping active, listening to music/podcasts, playing with my cat and helping others succeed, is the icing on top of the cake! If I can help someone achieve their goals, then that is a day well spent :) I possess almost five years of tutoring experience and that includes both, face to face as well as online. In 2016, I passed and achieved thirteen GCSE's, nine of which vary from B - A* grades. - Bishop Walsh Catholic School, Birmingham. In 2018, I passed and achieved three A-Levels in Drama, History and Biology. - Bishop Walsh Catholic School, Birmingham. In 2021, I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Drama including a First Class for my Dissertation. - De Montfort University, Leicester. In 2024, I started my Cert CII and I am aiming to have my full Chartership in Insurance, by February 2026. Throughout my degree: I received a First Class Honors for my 'Education and the Performing Arts' module which has proven fruitful with tutoring. This consolidated my understanding of the performing arts education policy, pedagogy, curriculum design, and assessment in a time of educational, economic, technological and social change. It also allowed me to construct innovative ways towards lesson exploration including within the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) sector. I can confidently say that I have explored the place of the performing arts in the evolving English education system and in the early years, informal, community and therapy settings. My degree allowed me to submerse myself into various fields of education and resultantly, have the right exposure towards assisting students within the following categories: - EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage/s). - SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). - Primary Education. - Secondary Education. - Mature learning.
