Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at West Virginia Wesleyan College (WVWC) - 4 years Master of Science Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology at Georgia State University (GSU) - 2 years Teaching assistant (TA) for the biology department at GSU for 4 semesters at a biology laboratory course - 3 semesters Neuroscience research at the DKFZ in Heidelberg (Germany) with professor Hannah Monyer Currently doing a PhD in neuroscience at IRB Lleida located in my hometown, Lleida (Spain). Over 500 lessons taught to over 20 students in this platform Keen on helping students learn the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in biology and chemistry for both A-level and GCSE exams My teaching experience includes teaching assistant position at a biology lab at Georgia State University (United States of America) for 4 semesters as well as teaching different techniques to lab groups at the institution I am currently enrolled in doing my PhD. I have also delivered over 500 lessons on this online platform to over 20 students seeking help for their GCSE, OCR, WJEC, and AQA A-level exam boards in both chemistry and biology. While my experiences both as a student and as a teacher have developed my communication skills by using the proper tone and terminology, I value the most having learned from the doubts and questions from my past students as well as having done many final past paper questions. Despite every student being different, experience helps tremendously. Some students are very advanced and prefer working on past paper questions by tackling some specific aspects of the exam board, while some others require a bit more work on some modules and require a session more akin to covering a variety of concepts. When teaching new concepts, I use self-made PowerPoint slides specifically designed to incorporate the knowledge required to succeed in the exam questions for that exam board. In these slides, I use a scaffolding teaching technique which is about covering fundamental learning outcomes prior moving towards the more advanced concepts. I also incorporate past paper questions in every lesson to ensure the student is engaging in proactive learning, and not simply passively listening to me talk for 50 minutes. Overall, my goal is to engage the student in his or her own learning by teaching them skills and by giving them greater focus in some areas of each module. A lot of concepts are covered in these exam boards but knowing where to place great emphasis surely fosters their learning. This is where experience teaching these exams really comes into play, and it will also help me quickly devise the best study plan for the student. To complement my online teaching sessions, I have a digital pad that enables me to quickly write notes, draw or paste diagrams to ensure the lesson is smooth and dynamic. Online teaching may seem, at first glance, limited in terms of being able to write notes, however, currently online learning has been greatly updated thanks to such devices. I am currently only teaching biology and chemistry from GCSE and A-level exams but not higher levels (i.e. not teaching university programs). Like many teachers, my personal preference are students that are keen on learning regardless of their starting point. However, I have taught students that needed motivation coming from me and I was able to help them significantly. I will be happy to answer any questions that may concern you in the trial session if these were not answered in this introduction or by any GoStudent agent.

With years of experience, I have developed effective teaching strategies that cater to a wide range of learning styles.

I have a longstanding love for English Literature and Language and enjoy helping students develop strong analytical and communication skills. My enthusiasm for Psychology and Religious Studies stems from my fascination with human behavior, thoughts, and emotions—an interest I continue to explore as an aspiring psychiatrist and active member of mental health initiatives. Beyond academics, I am a Netball coach, helping young athletes refine their skills while fostering teamwork and confidence. I am also experienced in working with students with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, ensuring that my lessons are engaging, accessible, and tailored to individual needs. I take pride in building strong rapport with my students, boosting their confidence, and helping them achieve their academic goals. I look forward to supporting you on your learning journey!

My name is Giada, an Italian expatriate in the UK for 7 years. I hold a degree in Forensic Science. My passion for learning fuels a desire to share knowledge, embodying a blend of cultural richness and scientific curiosity. I embrace challenges with a positive mindset, making every experience an opportunity for growth. I love adopting different teaching styles according to the students and their specific needs. I teach various subjecs such as Biology, Chemistry and Italian to students from the ages of 10 to 25+. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy spending my time practising yoga, reading books and volunteering. I have struggled with anxiety and have been always a bit of a perfectionist, therefore I have personal experience with how it feels to want to achieve the best one can, and I try to give some help and advice to students from this point of view as well. I have helped students with ADHD and dyslexia achieve great results in their university exams and coursework, therefore I have an awareness of how these conditions affect each individual differently and how to try and tweak my teaching style accordingly. I am a graduate of Abertay University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences in 2021, achieving a 1st class degree. Throughout my four-year course, I demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence and was recognised with prizes for outstanding achievements in both biology and chemistry-related subjects. My Biology knowledge is strong across all exam boards and I have a particular interest in Genetics and Molecular Biology. During my time at Abertay University, I served as the Class Representative for two consecutive years, actively contributing to the academic community and fostering communication between students and faculty. This experience honed my leadership and organizational skills. Engaging in the Research Volunteer Scheme (of a chemistry-based project) provided me with invaluable practical experience in applying the research process. This training enhanced my understanding of the scientific method and its application in real-world scenarios. As an Online Peer Mentor, I supported new students on their academic journey, demonstrating my dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. In my dissertation, I delved into the intricate realm of mRNA and miRNA, showcasing my in-depth knowledge of these molecules alongside DNA in both general biology and forensic biology. This research experience not only expanded my understanding of molecular biology but also sharpened my analytical and investigative skills. Overall, my academic journey at Abertay University has equipped me with a solid foundation in forensic sciences, complemented by hands-on research experience and a commitment to academic and peer support. I am eager to apply this wealth of knowledge and skills in teaching younger generations. I have been working in industry ever since. I possess academic as well as professional application of biology and chemistry knowledge. I am Italian, therefore I can offer Italian lessons to English speaking students. My experience in tutoring has been mostly with my peers (ages 18-22), however, I have also gained experience with children from ages of 8 to 17.

Hi, I am fourth year Civil Engineering undergraduate at the University of Liverpool. I studied Maths, Physics and Geography at A-Level and am passionate about teaching GCSE Maths and Physics. *I am currently taking on new male students for GCSE Maths, and GCSE + A-Level Physics for 1 lesson a week.* I have tutored a range of students throughout my two years at GoStudent ranging from Year 4 up to Year 13 in both Physics and Maths. My approach with most students is laid back with my understanding that a tutoring session must not feel the same as the school day. Most students are fed up of school at the end of the day, and continuing a similar environment after school in my experience does not lead to great engagement from students. For the students to learn they have to want to, and trying to make the tutoring session as laid back and enjoyable as possible I believe works really well. I studied A Level Physics, Maths and Geography and have gone on to study Civil Engineering at the University of Liverpool. The course mostly focusses on the practical application of mathematical and physical concepts which to me is much more interesting than learning the theory behind everything which can sometimes be a little boring.

My name is Nita Bose. I was born in England, where I completed all my education. I am qualified with a B.Ed Honours Degree and hence my preferred age group is the primary years. I am an experienced primary school teacher and English tutor. I have a patient and nurturing approach to teaching, which puts children at ease so they can develop confidence and excel in their learning. I am an expert in teaching handwriting, and you will see the results just after a few lessons! I teach in a fun and engaging way so my students thoroughly enjoy their lessons. Having a clear British accent, I can also teach English as a second language to adults who wish to improve their spoken English, as well as their grammar and writing. My own love of learning led me to also study law and pursue a career as a solicitor for some years. Thereafter, I returned to teaching and I have been tutoring children and adults for several years. It is so rewarding to make a difference to people's lives. I enjoy yoga, cooking and travelling around the world. It's fascinating to learn about different cultures. My favourite thing about tutoring with GoStudent is that it's a fantastic online platform and you can teach from anywhere in the world! My best study tip is, you can do anything that you put your mind to; have faith in yourself.

Gabriella was the most bubbly, kind, patient and fun tutor. My son, who has gross Dyslexia, really enjoyed and looked forward to their sessions. He has to rewrite his English GCSE exams hence why we got Gabriella for a few months. He felt he learnt a lot from her and felt he was far more prepared and confident about his exams than he was when he was at his private school. We can rate her more highly.

“Shahana’s dedication to my daughter’s learning is truly commendable. Not only has she mastered her times tables, but her reading and spelling abilities have soared under Shahana’s guidance. The weekly homework ensures consistent practice, reinforcing what she learns during lessons. What’s particularly impressive is the ease and convenience of rescheduling lessons when needed, making the entire learning experience stress-free for both my daughter and me. Grateful for Shahana’s positive impact on my child’s education!”
