Abigail D.

My name is Gemma and I am an English and Drama Graduate from Exeter University, 2:1 with a Creative Writing Dissertation. I have aspirations in teaching at Secondary School level and classroom and mentoring experience. I have worked for a year post graduation as a Sabbatical Officer in the Students Union. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing poetry and performing. I achieved 1x 7, 2x 8, 2x A* and 7x 9 in my GCSE's and 3x A at A level in English, Drama and Philosophy and Ethics. I took a gap year working, and volunteered in my school supporting extracurricular drama, and I have since returned 3x with paid opportunities, 2x teaching in music and drama. I went to Exeter University and studied English and Drama acheiving a 2:1 and departmental commendation for contributing to the life of the department. During my time at University I took on leadership and mentoring roles in extracurricular and this led me to my current position as a Sabbatical Officer advocating for Students in the University.

✩ GoStudent Tutor of the Year – 2025 Award 5000+ Lessons Delivered PhD Candidate | A Level & GCSE English Teacher SEN Tutor (Dyslexia Focus) – No Experience with ASD or Other SEN Needs • Preferred Age Group: Year 7 and Above (Native Speakers & EFL/ESL Learners) • Main Focus: AQA, OCR and Edexcel GCSE; Cambridge IGCSE; AS Level; Edexcel A Level English Literature and A Level English Language • IELTS Preparation and Exam Support Over the past five years, I have helped more than 180 students achieve at least a Grade 7 in their GCSE English examinations and supported over 15 students in achieving excellent results in Edexcel A Level English Literature. Having delivered more than 5000 private lessons, I have developed a structured programme that addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of English Language and Literature. Throughout my teaching experience, I have observed that many GCSE and A Level students struggle with contextual understanding, language and structure analysis, and effective time management in examinations. My lessons are designed to address these challenges through clear guidance, targeted practice, and personalised feedback tailored to each student's needs. About Me Language is not simply a tool for communication; it is a reflection of how we understand ourselves, our culture, and the world around us. I am currently a PhD candidate and have published research on sexism and gender bias in language, exploring how linguistic choices can influence perceptions and social attitudes. My research and teaching experience have reinforced the belief that every student learns differently. As a result, I adapt my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, helping students build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and reach their full academic potential. Outside academia, I enjoy going to the gym, playing football, and travelling, which provide a welcome balance to my research and teaching commitments. ✩ Valedictorian Achieved the highest academic ranking throughout both undergraduate and postgraduate studies Education • PhD Candidate (Year 1) • MA with High Distinction | Research Focus: Sociopragmatics and Classroom Research • BA in English Linguistics and Literature (Graduated First in Cohort) • Bachelor's Degree in Education and Teaching Diploma

Hi! I’m a multilingual Chemical Engineering student at the University of Edinburgh. I teach Spanish, English, Maths and Chemistry, adapting each lesson to the student’s level, goals and learning style. I focus on clear explanations, practical examples and interactive exercises to help students build confidence, improve their understanding and make steady progress. I am patient, approachable and happy to support both schoolwork and exam preparation. I am currently studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, where my degree combines advanced Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, programming and engineering problem-solving. Before university, I completed secondary education (Spanish Baccalaureate) in Spain following a scientific curriculum. I also spent an academic year abroad in New York, which strengthened my English, independence and ability to adapt to an international learning environment. I hold a Cambridge C2 qualification in English and am fully fluent in Spanish, English, and Catalan, allowing me to support students confidently in these languages as well as in STEM subjects.
