Hi, I’m Alice! I’m a qualified teacher with a degree in English Literature, which is a subject I’ve always really enjoyed. I love exploring stories, characters and different interpretations of texts, and I particularly enjoy helping students become more confident in expressing their own ideas. I’m friendly, patient and approachable, and I believe lessons should be engaging and give students the confidence to develop their own opinions. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, travelling, exploring new places and spending time with family and friends. I’m really looking forward to meeting my students and helping them build their confidence, discover what they enjoy about learning and achieve their goals. My educational journey began at Plympton Academy, where I attended both secondary school and sixth form from 2011 to 2018. During my time there, I developed a strong interest in English and the arts, which ultimately influenced my decision to pursue these subjects at university. From 2018 to 2021, I studied Drama and English Literature at the University of Winchester, completing my undergraduate degree. My degree allowed me to develop a strong understanding of English literature, while also strengthening my communication, presentation and analytical skills through the study of Drama. I particularly enjoyed exploring different texts, developing interpretations and communicating ideas clearly, skills which have continued to be valuable throughout my teaching career. Following my undergraduate degree, I completed my PGCE at Plymouth Marjon University from 2022 to 2023, specialising in primary education. This gave me the professional training and practical experience required to become a qualified teacher. During my teacher training, I developed my understanding of the primary curriculum, lesson planning, assessment, behaviour management and, importantly, how to adapt teaching to meet the individual needs of different learners. From 2024 to 2026, I worked as a primary school teacher, gaining experience teaching children across the primary age range and developing a broad knowledge of the National Curriculum. My teaching experience has involved planning and delivering lessons, assessing pupils' progress, identifying areas where learners need additional support and adapting my approach to help pupils make progress. Alongside my academic background, my experience in primary education has given me a strong foundation in English, reading, writing and general primary curriculum subjects, as well as experience supporting children with different learning needs and levels of confidence. I am now looking to bring this combination of academic knowledge and practical teaching experience into tutoring, providing students with supportive, engaging and personalised lessons that help them to develop both their skills and their confidence.

Hello! My name is Shruti and I have always been fascinated by technology and how it shapes the world we live in. I have a strong passion for mathematics and science. I enjoy the challenges of solving complex problems and finding different solutions, which strengthen analytical thinking as well as problem-solving skills. I believe this is very important because it helps us to understand problems better and enables us to break them down into smaller, more manageable parts, which is also very crucial to learn. This also allows us to evaluate options logically instead of just guessing. Alongside this, I love listening to music. Listening to different genres helps me to relax and stay motivated; it also enhances my focus, concentration and memory. For me, music also works by blocking out distractions and creating a very steady rhythm for the brain to follow, which further increases my level of concentration. I also enjoy learning different languages because I believe this helps with connecting to different people from diverse backgrounds. Cognitively, learning a new language strengthens memory, problem-solving skills, as well as concentration. Altogether, these skills helped me to build confidence and independence. Therefore, I became better at explaining new ideas clearly and in an easily understandable way. I also became better at learning new things and finding solutions quickly to different problems. This is extremely essential in fields like engineering and tutoring! Throughout my academic years, I have attended Queen Mary's High School, and after that, I attended Queen Mary's Grammar School for sixth form. Currently, I am a first year Computer Engineering Student at the University of Birmingham.During my school years and university so far, I have completed assignments, projects which have helped me to develop my analytical thinking skills and experience explaining difficult concepts easily. Furthermore, I have also done mentoring before in school, where I was teaching maths to a GCSE student, and this also enabled my skills to improve and gave me more experience of teaching.
