Ahlbie S.

I am a fully English-educated student with a strong academic background in Mathematics. I achieved an A in A-Level Mathematics and have over 3 years of tutoring experience, completing 300+ hours of lessons. I have helped many GCSE Maths students improve their grades, with several achieving Grade 8s and 9s. I also participated in the UK Maths Challenge, achieving the highest score in my school, which developed my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Teaching Style My teaching style is student-centred, patient, and adaptable. I first identify the areas a student finds difficult and then break each topic down into simple, manageable steps. I use clear explanations, worked examples, and guided practice before encouraging students to tackle questions independently. I place particular emphasis on exam technique. I help students understand different question types, show their working clearly, avoid common mistakes, and apply their knowledge to unfamiliar problems. I adapt each lesson to the student's ability and goals, whether they are aiming to secure a pass or achieve a Grade 8 or 9. Proudest Achievements One of my proudest achievements is helping many GCSE Maths students achieve Grade 8s and 9s. Seeing students progress from struggling with a topic to confidently answering exam-style questions is extremely rewarding and is one of the main reasons I enjoy tutoring. I am a fully English-educated student with a strong academic background. I am currently studying Medicine. My education has provided me with a strong foundation in Mathematics, science, and analytical problem-solving. I achieved an A in A-Level Mathematics and have over 3 years of tutoring experience, with more than 300 hours of teaching. During this time, I have specialised in GCSE Mathematics, working with students of different abilities and helping many students achieve Grade 8s and 9s. My main specialisation is GCSE Mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, number, and problem-solving. I also have extensive experience with exam preparation, helping students improve their exam technique, identify common mistakes, and approach unfamiliar questions with greater confidence. I have not yet completed my university degree as I am currently studying Medicine. My academic and tutoring experience has allowed me to develop strong communication, patience, adaptability, and problem-solving skills, which I apply to every lesson.

I am basically a B.Sc.-qualified technical person who became a language teacher while working as a computer programmer/systems analyst in Switzerland. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. I have been tutoring online for over 5 years, working for such organisations as Berlitz & the British Council. I live near Durham, UK, and have a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. After many years in French-speaking Europe, north Africa, the Arabian Gulf, Chile & central Asia, I now live near Durham, UK, and have had a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. Although language teaching is my main activity, I can also teach PC windows-technique, Microsoft utilities, and a few GCSE subjects. My EFL (English as a Foreign Language) specialities are IELTS preparation for both Academic & General Training candidates. After O/A-levels and completing an Ordinary National Diploma in Engineering, I chose to do a Computer Science degree at N. Staffordshire Polytechnic because it was possible to study French intensively alongside. This meant that the 3rd (industrial) year had to be spent in a French-speaking country and in my case that was Switzerland, where I spent a year at CERN in Geneva. To become an English language teacher I obtained the CTEFLA in Geneva in 1995 and went on to study for the DELTA.

Subjects: Sociology, Media Studies and Spanish Levels: Lower, GCSE, A-Level and Higher Level in all the mentioned subjects. Exam Board Experience: AQA, OCR, WJEC, Eduqas, and Cambridge International. Languages: English and Spanish. I am a native Spanish and Dr in social anthropologist at the the University of Manchester. I teach Sociology and Media Studies at all Levels including GCSE, A-Level including IB curriculum and exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel, 11+ and Cambridge International. I also teach Spanish to adult students at different levels. My teaching philosophy is shaped by my academic background in anthropology and interest in how culture influence the production of knowledge. I also have knowledge in film studies and skills in audio-visual production. I can support students in their academic and artistic creative process. In my teaching, I link the learning material and cultures to engage in communication with the students and contextualise what we are learning. Cycling, climbing and the love for animals are some of my main personal interests. I love travelling and I am currently living in Berlin.

Hello! My name is Anna Mai, and I am a passionate and dedicated tutor currently studying to become an Early Years Teacher. I have extensive experience working with children and young people in educational settings, and I am committed to helping every student build confidence, develop their skills, and achieve their full potential. Alongside my studies, I work in a Montessori setting and part-time in afterschool care, where I support children's learning, social development, and overall wellbeing. These roles have given me valuable experience in adapting lessons and activities to suit different learning styles and abilities. I understand that every child learns differently, and I enjoy finding creative and engaging ways to make learning enjoyable and accessible. I also spent three years teaching and studying abroad, which broadened my understanding of education and allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and ability to build positive relationships with learners and their families. As a tutor, I strive to create a supportive, encouraging, and patient learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves. Whether a student needs help building foundational skills, improving academic performance, or gaining confidence in a particular subject, I am dedicated to providing personalised support that meets their individual needs. I am kind, caring, reliable, and enthusiastic about education. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but also to foster a love of learning that will benefit them throughout their lives. I look forward to supporting students on their educational journey and helping them reach their goals. I am currently studying Early Years and Childhood Studies at University College Cork (UCC), where I am developing a strong understanding of child development, early childhood education, inclusive practice, and effective teaching methodologies. My studies have provided me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that enable me to support children's learning and development in a meaningful and engaging way. In addition to my current studies, I spent three years studying abroad in the ITEPS International Teacher Education for Primary Schools programme. This international teacher education programme gave me valuable experience in primary education, exposing me to a range of teaching approaches, educational systems, and multicultural learning environments. Studying and teaching alongside people from diverse backgrounds strengthened my communication, adaptability, and intercultural skills while deepening my passion for education. Alongside my academic background, I have gained extensive practical experience working with children. I currently work in a Montessori setting, where I support children's learning through child-centred, hands-on activities that encourage independence, creativity, and confidence. I also work part-time in afterschool care, assisting children with homework, organising educational and recreational activities, and supporting their social and emotional development. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages, abilities, and learning styles, helping me develop strong skills in behaviour support, lesson planning, communication, and student engagement. I am passionate about helping children achieve their full potential and creating a positive, supportive learning environment where they feel confident to learn, grow, and succeed. My combination of university study, international teacher education experience, and hands-on work with children has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm needed to support students on their educational journey.
