GCSE/Junior Certificate: English Literature, History, Classics. A- Level/Leaving Certificate: English Literature, History, Classics. Exam Board Experience: Providing lessons for Irish Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate subjects Experience with: Students from 12-18 in the Irish schooling system Students from 4 - Adult teaching ESL in an online environment Adult students teaching ESL individually in person. Adept at teaching to students for whom English is not their first language. Languages: English- Native Speaker Spanish- Basic Preferred student age group: Any age About me: Hello there, My name is John O'Byrne and I am from Ireland I have been teaching for a number of years now, Over the past few years I have been teaching English as a Second Language, I have taught online for over two years and before that I taught Academic English, Business English and Conversational English to individual students in a face to face setting. In university I studied a wide range of subjects including Philosophy, History, English and Arth History before I chose the areas I would focus on for my degree. Eventually I decided on Ancient Greek and Roman Civilization alongside Politics and I was awarded a degree with honours from University College Dublin. After graduation I was invited to participate in their Masters programme but I declined their kind invitation as I wanted a break from the academic life. While in university I participated in a tutoring programme where we went to a number of schools and helped students to prepare for their examinations. I tutored groups of students in a range of subjects but mainly concentrated on English Literature and History. These years tutoring were very rewarding as the students were from under-privileged schools and were quite appreciative of all the help we gave them. Cycling is a passion of mine and as my skill in riding bicycles developed I was given opportunities to work with a few different bicycle companies. I was given bicycles and components in order to test their design and durability. I was also asked to preform in a number of marketing campaigns and advertisements for these bicycle companies. The learning processes in the physical arena and the academic arena are quite similar, they involve focus, critical thinking, repetition and study. These processes can be sped up to a certain extent if you have someone to guide you through them. I was also given the opportunity to teach bicycle skills to various groups of people and I really enjoyed this experience. I enjoy travelling and have lived for periods of time in Sweden and Spain. I have always loved learning and I continue to read about a wide range of subjects including Philosophy, Linguistics, Psychology and works in the areas I studied during my degree. So with this background I believe I can help tutor students in English as a Second Language, English Literature, History and Classics. I hope to see you in class where we can find ways to make the subject you may be having difficulties with interesting and relevant to you. Thank you. I studied in University College Dublin where I was awarded a BA degree with honours in Ancient Greek + Roman Civilization, and Politics. When I graduated I was invited to stay on to complete a Masters Degree in Classics but I declined. During my time in UCD I also studied Philosophy, English and History before I decided on completing my degree in Ancient Greek + Roman Civilization along with Politics. I have studied to teach English as a second language and earned my ESL teaching certification from TEFL.org.

I am a Law graduate training to become a barrister, with a particular persuasion to Human Rights Law. My commitments to social justice and contributing to the tangible progress of my community, mark my aspirations as both a tutor and barrister-to-be. As a conscientious tutor, I seek to inspire an interest in the education I deliver. Through carefully tailored and creative teaching, I aim to empower student development. Perhaps as a by-product of my legal profession, I like to play devil's advocate by challenging and pushing students to grow confidence in their independent skills whilst simultaneously nurturing their understanding with warm guidance and friendly support. More an advocate and less a devil!

I’m a 24-year-old dental student with a passion for both my studies and my hobbies. In my free time, I love taking dance classes, which allow me to express myself creatively and stay active. I’m enthusiastic about learning, whether it’s perfecting dental techniques or mastering new dance moves. My friends describe me as approachable and energetic. I started my academic journey at Beaconsfield High School, where I completed my GCSE. I thoroughly enjoyed GCSE Maths the most. I then took on A-levels in Maths, Chemistry, and Biology, which fueled my passion for pursuing a career in dentistry. After finishing my A-levels, I decided to study abroad at Plovdiv Medical University in Bulgaria. It’s been an amazing experience! Overall, my educational background has equipped me with the knowledge and skills I need for my career.

Hi! I'm Eve. Levels & Subjects I teach: The subjects I can tutor are English Literature and English Language at a lower and GSCE level, and also History at lower, GSCE, and A-Level. Exam Board experience: Although I have personally sat my exams with the AQA exam board (meaning I have the most experience with their particular content), I am adaptable and can tutor for any exam board necessary! Languages: I am fluent in English. SEND (Special Education Needs and Disability) experience: I have yet to gain experience with SEND. Preferred Student Age group: My preferred student ages are GSCE and A-Level, but I am completely happy and able to provide tutoring for all ages! About me: I am a third year History and Philosophy student, who has always loved English, history, and the arts. My degree has made it possible for me to learn more in-depth about my favourite areas of history - particularly the cold war and feminist history - and to continue my passion for English by taking minor classes in Classics. In my GSCES, I received a 7 in both English Lit and English Language, and an 8 in History. At A-Level, I received an A in History. Some of my favourite past-times are reading (both novels and poetry), listening to music, and designing and sewing clothes. My current favourite read is The Odyssey by Homer, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - both of which I highly recommend. I am excited to gain more experience in tutoring the subjects I love, and I look forward to hopefully working with some of you!
