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.

Hi, I’m Harrison; I look forward to working with you! I hold a first class degree in English Literature, going on to study for an MA in public policy at the university of York. I achieved top marks at gcse (A*) and achieved a B in English literature and History at A-Level. That’s the academics out of the way, in terms of experience, I have tutored since 2020. I was volunteering with an educational charity called action tutoring, providing English and History tuition to groups of 1-3. These were children mainly on the borderline of a pass, looking to achieve passing and even top grades (including 8/9s)I have a good track record of tangible outcomes and was responsible for their progress throughout, keeping records of tests, progression and revision structure.. Some of these students also had significant challenges at home and at school, and so I developed a strong sense of resilience and motivation for education. A few students were also neurodivergent, and so I gained a appreciation and understanding of neurodivergence in education. Since then, I have kept tutoring throughout my university education and hope to do it as I study for my masters degree. All in all that's about 4 years experience! I pride myself on keeping my lessons personal and supportive, and will always ask for suggestions to improve and include the student in the direction of study. I enjoy politics, history, sci-fi and gaming! I hope that sounds convincing, and if so, I look forward to working with you! : ) I hold a B.A (hons) English Literature degree, awarded first class. My degree focused on a vast array of texts and study, and allowed me to have a wider skillset in order to tutor effectively. I am also studying for an MA in Public Policy at the University of York.

Hi I am Albert! I am currently studying for a Master degree in Health Economics at the University of York. I obtained a Bachelor degree in Economics, also from the University of York. My A-Levels were in Mathematics, History and Economics from a college in Leeds. I am excited to tutor in GCSE & A-Level Economics, helping students grasp economic concepts and master their essays needed to succeed in their AQA, OCR and Edexcel exams and beyond. My passion lies in the health sector which requires advanced knowledge of microeconomic and macroeconomic methods including, game theory, demand and producer theory, general equilibrium analysis and equity/equality principles. I am also keen to tutor GCSE & AQA A-Level History, particularly to help students wrestle with the challenges of examining events from an economic perspective. During my A-Levels I studied British Empire 1857-1967 and Germany 1918-1945, whilst during my degree I studied Economic History throughout 1500-2000. I wish to build upon my experiences of tutoring students on the University of York's Next Step Program. I am bilingual in English and Polish. My main interests are basketball where my favourite player is Luka Doncic , Formula 1 where my favourite driver is Charles Leclerc, hiking, cooking and travelling. I obtained a First-Class grade for my Bachelor of Economics degree from The University of York. My best piece of work was my dissertation on medical technology and spending growth in the United States. I proved that TPF is an accurate appropriator of technical progress and concluded that every month, more than $1,000,000,000 is spent on improving medical technology in the USA to help patients! My postgraduate research focuses on the cost-effectiveness and expected value of sampling information with regards Low-Level-Laser Therapy in the treatment of oral mucositis from Head and Neck Cancers. I completed an internship with Hammond Partners London, where I successfully found and linked up talented individuals with roles at hedge funds!

My name is Monica and I have just graduated from St. Andrews with an MA in history and social anthropology. I always loved history and indeed still do. I choose to study anthropology because my English teacher got rather annoyed at my consistent questions about the characters' lives. "Just go study anthropology then" - and that is what I did. I am have graduated with a further masters with distinction in the history of Scotland and am moving onto a PHD this October. I love being able to combine my two passions in one degree. I try to explain it as anthropology giving an understanding of the present and history of the past. The marriage of the two academic subjects is interesting, indeed. For example, for my dissertation in the School of Anthropology looks at the community in Glasgow in 1592; tracking the influence of the Reformation at a local freedom. School exams definitely prepare you well for university expectations! There were some things that stood out for me at school as helping. I think you have to look after yourself as well as sticking to a study plan, definitely schedule breaks as well as something nice every now and again. I also think essay plans are key for the arts and english examinations and that is something I would be keen to help students create. Ultimately you need to understand the content, not merely recite a list of facts, once you do it is far easier to remember and argue your point in an exam.

Levels & Subjects you teach Lower Level: Maths GCSE: History and Maths Exam Board Experience: I have previous experience with Edexcel. For History I covered topics of Medicine Through Time, The American West, First and Second World Wars, Henry VIII, Russian Revolution and Weimar & Nazi Germany which all span across exam boards. At University Level I studied the period 1555 - present with a particular interest in the development of Global Health in that period. Languages: English (fluent) SEND: no previous experience Prefered Student Age: 14-16 (GCSE ) for History and Primary/GCSE for Maths Hello, my name is Alex and I am currently working part-time as a Museum Engagment Officer for the University of Dundee. I graduated from the University of St Andrews in 2021 with a first-class degree in Social Anthropology. I also took modules in History and Art History in the first two years of my course. My passion for History led me to an MSc in Digital Heritage at the University of York and to my current job at the University of Dundee Museums Service. I also have over 7 years of experience volunteering at Heritage sites and Museums. I've done various roles in archives, social media, events and exhibitions as well as working as a tourguide at a castle with a 1500 year history. I think this gives me a lot of skills in communicating heritage alongside the academic skills that would make me a good tutor for History. My hobbies are art and design. I love to paint and draw but have been doing a lot of digital illustrations recently. I'm also really interested in historical fashion. I've done costuming for theatre shows and I like to sew from vintage patterns or make history inspired items. I have also been working on designing historical dress-up doll online games which is an extension of my MSc dissertation research. Additionally I love to bake and enjoy yoga and walking. I would like to take a students hobby/interest and use that as an entry point into the period to capture their imagination. Coming from a museum background I would also like to incorporate objects from collections as a starting point for understanding the past and a way to develop the source analysis skills needed in exams.
