Allison P.

I am currently studying Medicine at the University of Plymouth. From a young age I have always enjoyed helping others as it brings happiness and joy to me. This is also the main reason why I wanted to become a tutor. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports, particularly football and cricket. I have 2 younger brothers, so I am always entertained. I love talking and spending time with them. For secondary school, I attended the Oxford Spires Academy where I completed my GCSEs. For 6th form, I was accepted by The Cherwell School, where I completed my A-levels. At GCSE level science I achieved a grade 8/8 and at A-levels I achieved grades A in both Biology and Chemistry. In my first year of UCAS application, I did not receive any offers to study Medicine at University. However, towards the end of summer I came across an opportunity to study medicine through an alternative route. The University of Plymouth were offering a one-year transfer from Biomed to Medicine providing one achieved 3 As at A-levels, maintained a 70% pass rate across all modules in 1st year and passed the interview for Medicine. In the previous year only 2/23 applicants were successful in this route. Although this was intense, I was able to successfully transfer from Biomed to Medicine after the 1st year. This year I just completed my 1st year as a Medical student at the University of Plymouth

📘 Economics Tutor Introduction Hi, I’m Jay, an Economics graduate from The Open University, specialising in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and applied economics. I offer tutoring for students at GCSE, A-Level, and university level, with hands-on experience across major exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. My lessons are structured, engaging, and always tailored to the individual needs of each student. I typically begin with a quick recap to reinforce past learning, then move into clear explanations of new concepts, followed by interactive examples, discussions, and exam-style practice questions. I also tie in current economic events and trends to help students see how theory applies in the real world — making lessons more relevant, thought-provoking, and practical. I enjoy tutoring because I’m passionate about making economics understandable and accessible. What motivates me most is seeing students gain confidence, improve their grades, and begin to genuinely enjoy a subject they may have once found difficult or intimidating. Helping them unlock their potential and develop a stronger academic mindset is incredibly rewarding. My teaching style is friendly, patient, and focused on building long-term understanding, not just short-term results. I encourage active participation, independent thinking, and a safe space to ask questions and explore ideas without fear of being wrong. Whether you’re preparing for important exams, aiming for top grades, or just looking to improve your understanding, I’m here to help you succeed — and maybe even learn to love economics along the way. I hold a degree in Economics from The Open University and several industry-recognised certifications in Data Analysis. I bring both academic rigour and practical, hands-on experience to every session. My background spans microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the full quantitative toolkit.

Hello! My name is Shruti and I have always been fascinated by technology and how it shapes the world we live in. I have a strong passion for mathematics and science. I enjoy the challenges of solving complex problems and finding different solutions, which strengthen analytical thinking as well as problem-solving skills. I believe this is very important because it helps us to understand problems better and enables us to break them down into smaller, more manageable parts, which is also very crucial to learn. This also allows us to evaluate options logically instead of just guessing. Alongside this, I love listening to music. Listening to different genres helps me to relax and stay motivated; it also enhances my focus, concentration and memory. For me, music also works by blocking out distractions and creating a very steady rhythm for the brain to follow, which further increases my level of concentration. I also enjoy learning different languages because I believe this helps with connecting to different people from diverse backgrounds. Cognitively, learning a new language strengthens memory, problem-solving skills, as well as concentration. Altogether, these skills helped me to build confidence and independence. Therefore, I became better at explaining new ideas clearly and in an easily understandable way. I also became better at learning new things and finding solutions quickly to different problems. This is extremely essential in fields like engineering and tutoring! Throughout my academic years, I have attended Queen Mary's High School, and after that, I attended Queen Mary's Grammar School for sixth form. Currently, I am a first year Computer Engineering Student at the University of Birmingham.During my school years and university so far, I have completed assignments, projects which have helped me to develop my analytical thinking skills and experience explaining difficult concepts easily. Furthermore, I have also done mentoring before in school, where I was teaching maths to a GCSE student, and this also enabled my skills to improve and gave me more experience of teaching.
