Hi! I’m Tom! I’m 20, and I’ve been in education my whole life. After a switch to a new teacher in Y9, I fell in love with education, especially Maths. I currently live in Newcastle. In my spare time, I participate in Athletics and Darts, the latter of which I act as Secretary for the University associated club. I completed my GCSE’s in 2022, achieving a grade 9 in Mathematics (A* equivalent). I went on to study Maths and Further Maths at A level, achieving an A* in Maths and an A in Further Maths. I studied BSc Maths and Economics for 1 year at *Russell-Group* Newcastle University, before switching to BSc Mathematics, where I am now.

Hello, my name is George Barnes! I am a highly motivated and dedicated teacher of Science, committed to helping students unlock their full potential. I am a qualified and experienced science teacher specialising in Biology, with a proven record of delivering results at KS3, GCSE and A-level. My motivation to pursue a career in education began in 2016 when I volunteered for two months in Accra, Ghana, teaching English and introducing organised sports in a secondary school. This experience reinforced my belief in the transformative power of education and ultimately inspired me to become a qualified teacher. Following this, throughout my time as a Student at the University of Bristol, I worked as a member of the university student inclusion team as a Peer Assisted Study Leader; this role involved supporting classes of 20 first year students at the University and helping them to learn more effectively through planned activities and discussions, ultimately helping them to feel more prepared for their upcoming examinations. My passion for Biology and conservation studies has heightened my awareness of the crucial need to protect our environment. Whilst at University, this conviction prompted me to extend my exploration beyond the classroom curriculum and I was fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer for one month at a Sea Turtle Conservation centre in Sri Lanka. This experience not only allowed me to immerse myself in a different culture but also enabled me to share my growing knowledge of conservation with local communities and work along side and learn from local experts. Additionally, my dedication to Biology led me to participate in a research project in the rain forests of Costa Rica, conducted in collaboration with the University of Bristol. This trip provided me the opportunity to design and defend a research project and contribute to ongoing research at the University. Again, here I was fortunate to see first hand the impacts of a changing world on the environment in this part of the world and learn from other leading Scientists. After graduating from the University of Bristol with a BSc in Biological Sciences, I then began working towards achieving qualified teacher status and working as a teacher of Science at a secondary school in 2020. I achieved my Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Buckinghamshire and I am experienced in teaching pupils of all ages from Year 7 through to Year 13. In 2024, I left my teaching post in order to relocate to support my partners work goals. In doing so, I have also changed my full time profession and I now have experience as a production manager and head of production in the events industry, managing international event logistics and leading team operations. However, I am still deeply passionate about science and teaching; I find helping students achieve their goals to be immensely rewarding. As a secondary school pupil myself I achieved excellent results, obtaining 12 GCSES all graded A or A*, including Maths & English, with A*'s in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. At A-level I then went on to study Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, Religious Education and also achieved an AS level qualification in Critical thinking. Following this, I attended the University of Bristol, a Russel Group university which is renowned for its world-leading research and academic excellence. Here, I achieved my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences. Following this, I began working towards achieving qualified teacher status and took my first post as a teacher of Science at a secondary school in 2020. I attended the university of Buckingham and completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education with a focus on Science in order to become a qualified teacher. Through my university studies, I have not only gained expert science subject knowledge but I also have an excellent understanding of the latest teaching methods to help facilitate learning and, ultimately, help pupils achieve their goals. Further to this I also have other experience in coaching and mentoring roles. In 2016, I volunteered for 6 weeks in a primary school in Accra, Ghana. My primary role was teaching English to students, but given that I have achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and level 1 qualified rugby coach, I also helped to introduce organised sport in the school and also coached local men's rugby team, the Dansoman Hurricanes.

GCSE: Biology & Chemistry A-Level: Biology, Chemistry & Psychology Exam Boards: AQA sciences (GCSE), OCR A-level biology, AQA A-level chemistry & psychology. Preferred age group: primary/ GCSE/ A-Levels About Me: Hello I am Yasmin! Currently a final year undergraduate student at UCL. I achieved 10 9s (9s in English language, literature, and all 3 sciences) and 4A*s at A-Level (biology, chemistry, psychology and art). I sat the 11+ when I was younger and attended a grammar school, so I have experience both studying for it and teaching it!

Completed a Bachelors in Physics at the University of Bristol, achieved a 2:1. Have 2 years previous experience with online tutoring, and find developing students' academic skills very satisfying. Able to teach and adapt lessons to all learning styles, and find how you learn best. Like to Climb and Skateboard in my free time. Teaching: Maths and Physics both at GCSE or A-Level. 2:1 in Physics from University of Bristol.
