Hello! I'm Novelle, a passionate educator with 16+ years of experience. I teach math, earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and ESL with a student-centered approach. I hold a TEFL certification, a master’s in education from Bukidnon State University, and a bachelor's from St. Mary’s College. I'm also a licensed teacher with civil service eligibility. Fluent in Bisaya, Tagalog, and English, I support students with unique needs. My goal is to foster an inclusive classroom where every student succeeds. Outside the classroom, I enjoy crafts, cooking, reading, outdoor activities, and traveling. Join my classes for an engaging and supportive learning experience. Let's unlock your potential together! "I touch the future, I teach. I hold a TEFL certification, a master's in education (General Science) from Bukidnon State University (2017), and a Bachelor's in Secondary Education (General Science) from St. Mary’s College, Tagum (2007). I'm also a licensed teacher with civil service eligibility.

I am a dedicated tutor with experience teaching English, Chemistry, and Biology to students of various levels. I create engaging and tailored lessons to suit different learning styles, helping students improve comprehension, build confidence, and excel in exams. My goal is to make learning interactive and enjoyable while ensuring academic success. With experience in one-to-one tuition, I tailor my lessons to each student’s needs, helping them achieve their full potential. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy baking and painting, as well as exploring new creative projects. I am currently studying MPharm at a Russell Group university, which provides me with a strong foundation in Chemistry and Biology. My academic background allows me to teach these subjects confidently, ensuring students develop a clear understanding of complex concepts. In addition, I have 2 years of experience teaching English to Years 7 to 11 in a tuition setting, where I helped students improve their writing, comprehension, and exam techniques. My experience in one-to-one tutoring has strengthened my ability to tailor lessons to individual learning styles, ensuring each student reaches their full potential.

I'm literally so overjoyed to have had the amazing opportunity to join GoStudent as a tutor back in April 2023 and I just wanted to elaborate further on my academic and in addition extracurricular skills which have equipped me greatly to be able to shine a light on my own capabilities as well as my weaknesses at this time! I think that I have developed my communication skills via group work with the rest of the tutors and programme coordinators and also have had the privilege to really just go into further detail about what actually makes me tick and I really appreciate how supportive everyone has been in terms of my development and progress thus far. But how about he excitement of sharing a wonderful session with my tutees? We usually discuss the relevance of outside-of-the-box thinking and how phenomenal it is when the student and their loved ones get to choose what will happen during the lesson itself and also set the standards regarding the content to be covered so the sessions are usually quite fun and engaging to be honest! :-) I really enjoyed my time at the UCL School of Pharmacy while studying for the MPharm degree and I am just waiting to be able to sit some deferred final year exams and graduate hopefully quite soon following a recent gap year actually. I did graduate with a first in MSci in Pharmaceutical Studies back in October 2022. Now I am just in the process of applying for medical school and tend to spend my free time on either reading novels, playing the keyboard or making artsy-craftsy notes which will hopefully contribute towards a revision blog that I am starting to establish. I also like going for walks and exploring all sorts of new exciting places within London. I did of course go to Exeter medical school back in 2017 and left (for personal reasons such as the PBL structure of the course) before joining UCL in 2018. This means I am quite agile when it comes to things like discussing interview techniques and CV requirements if needed for individual students. I also tend to motivate my tutees to stay and CONTINUE with what they are doing rather than back away, especially in the face of challenges! This is because I myself wish I hadn't left medicine and now am re-applying so it indicates my perseverence and understanding of the new and surprising aspects of the course! ;)
