Hello! My name is Yasmine and I am finishing my 3rd year of my undergraduate degree, I’ve loved studying criminology and psychology, but my main interests are in criminology and cybercrime!. I really love English literature, reading and social psychology, as well as other crafty hobbies in my free time :) I have completed my 9 GCSEs C-A* including mathematics and English, A-levels in psychology, media studies and English literature, and currently in my final year of my undergraduate degree in Criminology and Psychology, with plans to focus on the areas of cybersecurity and forensic analysis after graduation.

If you are looking for a tutor who combines deep subject expertise with a strategic, exam-oriented approach, I am here to help. As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer holding dual degrees in Engineering and Business Administration, and with extensive teaching experience right here on GoStudent, I specialize in helping students navigate the pressures of GCSEs across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, IGCSE). Why Choose Me? Exam-Focused Strategy: I don't just teach the syllabus; I teach the mark scheme. I have a proven track record of moving students from "struggling" to "A/A*" by mastering exam techniques and time management. Expert Adaptability: Having studied in multiple countries, I adapt my teaching style to the students’ unique pace. Whether it’s an intensive "crash course" for upcoming GCSEs or long-term support to build confidence, I tailor every session. The "Insider" Edge: As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer with a background in business, I pair my understanding of complex STEM subjects with clear communication and structured study plans. I bridge the gap between rigorous academic theories and "fun," relatable learning. Experience Across the Board: With 5 years of professional tutoring and 8 years of volunteering, I’ve worked with all ages—from primary foundations to high-stakes secondary exams. My Philosophy I believe that "learning should be fun," but I also know that results build confidence. My goal is to remove the fear of the subject and replace it with a passion for improvement. Whether your child needs a rigorous, fast-paced review for their upcoming GCSEs or patient, long-term support to overcome their academic anxieties, I have the tools and the experience to get them there. Education: Dual Degrees in Engineering & Business I hold degrees in both Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Business Administration. This unique combination pairs the deep, analytical rigor required for advanced mathematics and physics with the strategic communication and organizational skills of a business background. My academic journey has been highly international, allowing me to study, collaborate, and teach across different cultures and educational frameworks. This global exposure has made me highly adaptable, enabling me to seamlessly navigate the UK curriculum while bringing an innovative, well-rounded approach to problem-solving. I speak multiple languages and pride myself on connecting easily with students from all backgrounds, turning complex subjects into clear, manageable strategies for success.

Hi! My name is Amy and I’m currently studying Maths and Philosophy at the University of Leeds. I am a Maths tutor aiming to help students between KS2 and GCSE level to enjoy and understand Maths. Beyond studying, I have a passion for dancing and love to perform on stage. When I am not dancing, I also love to solve puzzles and riddles. Initially, I attended All Saints Primary School. Then, I went to Greenbank High School and received 11 GCSEs with grades ranging from 7-9. I took a mix of GCSE subjects from Dance and Drama to History and Further Maths. After High School, I attended Runshaw College. I completed A-levels in Maths, Psychology and English Literature and earned grades AAC. I also completed an AS-level in Further Maths and earned a grade C. I am currently completing a BSc Maths and Philosophy honours degree programme at the University of Leeds. I have completed my second year and will hopefully be graduating in the summer of 2026.

*Empowering Students to Reach their Potential as a Dedicated Tutor I specialise in helping students excel in GCSE and A Level Maths & Business Studies, boosting their confidence and surpassing their academic targets. With a track record of guiding students to achieve grades from C to A*, I focus on unlocking each student's potential. With nearly 10 years of experience in one-to-one tuition, I am well-versed in the latest GCSE and A Level Maths specifications across exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, IGCSE, CIE IGCSE & TMUA. *Teaching Approach* Understanding each student’s unique needs and capabilities is central to my teaching. I aim to make maths relatable by delving into the logic and structure behind the concepts, which not only aids in problem-solving but also builds confidence and independence. Many of my students achieve their predicted grades months before their final exams, often exceeding their original goals. *Philosophy & Strategy* My teaching philosophy is to be patient, to understand the students' need and learning capability to encourage them to be the best they can be. I also like to provide an understanding of how the maths works on a fundamental level by providing the knowledge on the logic and structure. This way my students are not only taught how to answer questions, but why we answer the way we do. I believe this can be highly encouraging and help build confidence in the subject overall. Attended Staffordshire University between 2006 and 2001. During this time I achieved a BA Hons 2.1 in Business Studies and an MSc Pass in Marketing. During this time I helped International students understand subject material who found lectures too fast paced. It was during this time that I realised 1 to 1 tuition was something I could excel at.
