Hi! I’m Mehmood, 19 years old and currently studying medicine (MBBS) at Hull York Medical School. While I absolutely love studying, I have many other passions that burn just as brightly — I’m into sports, gym, and cycling, and I’m always open to trying new ones! Some cool facts about me: I speak English, Pashto and Urdu. Also, I have a 4-year-old tabby cat called Misty, and I’m one of six siblings! I’d describe myself as calm, composed, and confident—and I’m excited to share my tips and tricks to help others rise to the top of their academics. I attended St. Peter's RC High School in Gorton, where I studied separate sciences, business, geography, religious studies, and core subjects, achieving 6 grade 9s and 3 grade 8s. I then studied biology, psychology, and chemistry at Loreto Sixth Form College, earning A*AB in my A-levels. During my medical school application, I achieved a UCAT score of 2750 Band 1, securing four medical school interviews and ultimately firming Hull York Medical School—where I am currently studying medicine (MBBS). Alongside my academic journey, I’ve been a private tutor for the past two years, helping students build confidence and achieve top grades in science and math. I also completed a 3-week teaching internship at COOP Academy, delivering science lessons to Year 8 and 9 students. Additionally, I’ve gained valuable clinical experience working in GP practices and hospital settings, consulting with patients and developing strong communication and empathy skills. My educational background reflects a strong foundation in science and a passion for teaching. I’m excited to share the strategies and insights that helped me succeed and to support students in reaching their full academic potential.

Hi! I am a tutor specialising in English Literature, History, and Psychology, currently studying Human, Social, Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I personally also love arts and illustration; and so I aim to also work as an illustrator in the holidays during my degree. I teach Psychology to ALevel and GCSE standard, and English Literature for KS3, GCSE and Alevels. I also teach History from KS3, GCSE, and A-level as well. For all my students, I aim to encourage a love of learning and create a deep understanding of the importance of education. I enjoy seeing students progress and gain self-motivation and self esteem, as I believe that every student has potential and needs to believe in themselves to unlock it. Many students feel as if they are not 'intelligent' enough to do well, and feel ashamed to ask for help. I want to stress to all my students that there is no such thing as failure; only redirection, and that there are many different forms of intelligence. Every student is intelligent in different ways - creative, emotional, or logical, even if the mainstream idea of intelligence does not immediately reflect their personal strengths. It is important for students to understand that grades do not define their self worth, but are merely tools to unlock new paths for their life, and are not the be all and end all of their existence. Learning should encourage a student to be an all-rounder and introduce critical thinking and analytical perception into their toolkit for life. This is why I stress the importance of a good work-life balance to my students and try and help them make links between what they are learning and how it relates to the world around them and their personal, primary interests. After achieving A*A*A in my A-levels (English Literature, Psychology, and History) at St Clement Danes School, I am now studying HSPS (Human, Social, Political Science) at the University of Cambridge. I have tutored students in English Literature, helping them understand themes, structure and language through personalised resources, word banks and guided reading. My work in school mentoring programmes, including Reading Buddies and Franklin Scholars, has given me valuable experience supporting younger students academically and emotionally. I have helped students with lower reading ages gain confidence and progress to harder books, and I have acted as a supportive mentor for pupils facing challenges at home or in school, ensuring they always felt heard and safe. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different needs, lead group sessions and create an inclusive, encouraging dynamic. I have also had significant experience with SEND (ADHD and ADD) kids and I tailor lessons to their individual needs, ensuring that everyone can access learning at their own pace. For students who struggle with reading and dyslexia, I always make sure to have extra material with double-spacing and more accessible fonts, so that no student feels left out and are ready to commit to learning fully. I also am extremely confident teaching both A-level and GCSE Psychology, as I self-studied GCSE Psychology in 6 months and achieved a 9. I am well-versed in examiner reports and mark schemes; and can aid students in understanding structure and content to get top grades in their exams. My strongest teaching experience comes from independently establishing and coaching my school’s World Scholars Cup programme. I created lesson plans from scratch, developed resources across a wide academic curriculum and trained eight students in both debate and subject knowledge. Through structured sessions tailored to each student's learning style and consistent emotional support, my teams went on to win 89 medals and 12 trophies, progressing through multiple global rounds and ultimately qualifying for the final round at Yale University. Alongside coaching, I managed all logistics, balanced communication between parents, teachers and students, and ensured every participant felt confident, organised and motivated. My teaching philosophy is rooted in structure, empathy and tailored guidance. I always begin by understanding each student’s learning style and identifying the areas they struggle with most, because focusing on these areas leads to faster and more meaningful progress. I create detailed lesson plans supported by a bank of ready-made materials and teach students not just what to learn but how to learn. I use techniques such as blurting, mind maps and flashcards and encourage active participation, independent thinking and self-motivated learning. Regular check-ins allow me to monitor their emotional wellbeing and academic progress, ensuring they always feel supported, confident and connected to the learning process.

Hi, I’m Has — a friendly and supportive tutor who recently graduated from the University of Nottingham. I’m passionate about teaching and helping students achieve results they’re proud of. I tutor Maths, Sciences, and Geography — subjects I achieved highly in at school and now enjoy making clear, accessible, and manageable for my students. My lessons are structured, supportive, and appropriately challenging. I push students to develop strong subject mastery and confidence with exam-style questions, while always maintaining a calm and patient learning environment. This approach has proven effective — I’ve helped many students exceed their target grades, and I’d love to do the same for you or your child. I've recently recieved a bachelors degree from the University of Nottingham, where I achieved a 2:1 studying Politics and International Relations. I studies my A-levels at a state school in South London, where I excelled in Mathematics and Geography, achieving an A grade in both subjects.
