Hello. I'm Debs, nice to meet you. I tutor a range of subjects, all based on experience of teaching within school, college and less tradiitional settings. I love tutoring one to one as that is the best way to give the student exactly what they need. I teach Sociology, Business and English at GCSE and A level and I have experience of AQA and Edexcel exam boards. I have also taught Btec Business level 1-3 In 2023 I completed a Master's degree in Philosophy as I love learning new things just as much as I love to teach. I make learning fun wherever possible and tailor every lesson to the student's needs. I use a variety of methods so you won't get bored and I am always happy to answer questions and re-explain things. There's no such thing as a silly question! I appreciate people who try, no matter what their ability is, and i love seeing people achieve things that they never dreamed they could. Let me help you do that. Outside of work I enjoy reading, walking, cycling, and making art and fabric items which I sometimes sell at craft fairs. I sometimes pet-sit two very friendly dogs. MA in Philosophy Level 5 Education and Training Diploma Level 7 Diploma in business administration. BA Humanities (comprised of modules in Philosophy, History and Literature) University certificate in Social Sciences A level English, Sociology, Psychology 8 GCSE all at grades A-C

I am a First-Class Computer Systems Engineering graduate. Mathematics and Computing have been central to both my academic journey and professional experience. With 11 years of teaching and tutoring experience across GCSE and A-Level, I have developed a strong understanding of the UK curriculum and the common challenges students face. I enjoy helping students move from confusion to clarity by breaking complex topics into structured, logical steps. Beyond improving grades, my goal is to help students build confidence and develop deep, sustained understanding. I believe Mathematics and Computing should feel logical and empowering — not intimidating. I completed my BSc in Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Westminster, graduating with First-Class Honours. My degree gave me a strong foundation in programming (Python, C++, C, VHDL and Assembly), embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware design and robotics. During my studies, I led and contributed to several technical projects, including designing FIR filters using VHDL, programming PIC and MBED microcontrollers, and developing software systems in C++ and Python. I was also recognised with academic excellence awards for my performance. Prior to university, I completed my A-Level certification at Ahmadu Bello University, studying Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, and earlier obtained my secondary school leaving certificate at Livingstone College . Alongside my academic background, I have over 11 years of experience teaching and tutoring GCSE and A-Level Mathematics, as well as several years teaching Computing. I have worked in UK secondary schools as a Teaching Assistant supporting STEM subjects and SEN students, and as an online tutor delivering structured, results-driven lessons. My specialisation lies in Mathematics and Computer Science, particularly breaking complex, abstract ideas into logical, manageable steps that build deep and lasting understanding.

About me: Hi, I'm Rhianna. I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their best results. My tutoring is tailored to each student and their exam board, ensuring that content is clearly understood and effectively applied, so students feel prepared and confident in exams. Subjects I Tutor: With over 4 years of experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students across a range of subjects, tiers, and abilities, I help students develop understanding, critical thinking, and exam confidence. I tutor: Biology, Chemistry, English Language, Maths (GCSE, all exam boards); English Literature (GCSE and A- Level, all exam boards); Psychology & Sociology (AQA, GCSE & A-Level) Teaching Style: My lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. Sessions typically involve teaching key content, guided examples, and applying knowledge to exam-style questions specific to the student's exam board and level. I place strong emphasis on exam techniques and confidence, ensuring students understand content and how to apply it. Students typically receive one piece of homework every three weeks (e.g., essays, writing tasks, or worksheets). Exam-year students (Years 11-13) receive up to 2 pieces every 3 weeks to support their progress. All extended tasks come with detailed feedback reports that highlight areas for improvement, assess the student's work relative to their current level, and guide how to reach the next grade or top bands.

✩ GoStudent Tutor of the Year – 2025 Award 5000+ Lessons Delivered PhD Candidate | A Level & GCSE English Teacher SEN Tutor (Dyslexia Focus) – No Experience with ASD or Other SEN Needs • Preferred Age Group: Year 7 and Above (Native Speakers & EFL/ESL Learners) • Main Focus: AQA, OCR and Edexcel GCSE; Cambridge IGCSE; AS Level; Edexcel A Level English Literature and A Level English Language • IELTS Preparation and Exam Support Over the past five years, I have helped more than 180 students achieve at least a Grade 7 in their GCSE English examinations and supported over 15 students in achieving excellent results in Edexcel A Level English Literature. Having delivered more than 5000 private lessons, I have developed a structured programme that addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of English Language and Literature. Throughout my teaching experience, I have observed that many GCSE and A Level students struggle with contextual understanding, language and structure analysis, and effective time management in examinations. My lessons are designed to address these challenges through clear guidance, targeted practice, and personalised feedback tailored to each student's needs. About Me Language is not simply a tool for communication; it is a reflection of how we understand ourselves, our culture, and the world around us. I am currently a PhD candidate and have published research on sexism and gender bias in language, exploring how linguistic choices can influence perceptions and social attitudes. My research and teaching experience have reinforced the belief that every student learns differently. As a result, I adapt my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, helping students build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and reach their full academic potential. Outside academia, I enjoy going to the gym, playing football, and travelling, which provide a welcome balance to my research and teaching commitments. ✩ Valedictorian Achieved the highest academic ranking throughout both undergraduate and postgraduate studies Education • PhD Candidate (Year 1) • MA with High Distinction | Research Focus: Sociopragmatics and Classroom Research • BA in English Linguistics and Literature (Graduated First in Cohort) • Bachelor's Degree in Education and Teaching Diploma
