Hi! I’m an experienced and enthusiastic tutor specialising in GCSE English Language, English Literature, and General Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). I also teach Geography, Economics, and Business Administration, offering students both strong academic support and confidence-building strategies. I’m passionate about helping students break down difficult ideas, improve exam technique, and achieve grades they didn’t think were possible. What I Specialise In 🎓 English Language (AQA Expert) • Paper 1 & Paper 2 structure and timing • High-level analytical writing • Understanding writers’ methods • Model answers, mark-scheme breakdowns, and strategies to jump a grade quickly English Literature • Of Mice and Men, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Poetry • Essay structure, theme analysis, key quotations, and exam-ready paragraphs Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) • Clear explanations of tricky concepts • Memory techniques for content-heavy topics • Exam practice focused on command words and application Humanities & Business Subjects • Geography – physical & human geography, case studies, exam technique • Economics – micro, macro, diagrams, and real-world application • Business Administration / Business Studies – planning, marketing, finance, exam writing 🌟 Success Stories Here are a few examples of the progress my students have made: • GCSE English Language student: improved from Grade 4 to Grade 7 in 8 weeks through structured practice and targeted feedback. • Biology student: moved from Grade 5 to Grade 8 after focusing on exam command words and simplifying complex processes. • Chemistry student: gained confidence with calculations and improved two grades by developing step-by-step problem-solving methods. • English Literature student: went from writing short paragraphs to producing full, high-level essays, eventually achieving a Grade 9. • Geography student: improved exam timing and case-study recall, boosting their mark by 25%. Parents regularly tell me their children feel more motivated, more confident, and more prepared after just a few lessons. My Teaching Style⭐️ • Friendly, patient, and clear explanations • Lots of exam practice, model answers, and personalised feedback • I teach students how to think like examiners • Strong focus on confidence, planning, and understanding why answers score marks • I tailor lessons to match each student’s ability, school curriculum, and goals 🎯 What Students Can Expect With Me By the end of our lessons, students typically: • write higher-level answers with confidence • understand exactly how to hit the mark scheme • improve grades quickly and consistently • feel motivated and supported • learn efficient revision and exam techniques 📩 Looking Forward to Meeting You Whether your child needs to boost confidence, improve grades, or push towards top marks, I’m here to help. I make lessons engaging, structured, and fully tailored to each student’s needs.

Mechanical Engineer, incredibly passionate about teaching, precisely Mathematics; -LC/A-level Math (I would love to have A-level trials as a priority for now if possible) -JC/GCSE Math - primary level Math(11+) Languages: English, French, Arabic Having a couple of years of experience, I find that it's extremely efficient to build a genuine friendly relationship with my students accompanied with respect, the right ethical mannerism, and last but not least, pleasure, because learning is highly interesting when the tutor is ready and thrilled to deliver his absolute best in the most suitable way. I am glad that I now have a one year of GoStudent experience with over a thousand completed sessions, consequently, I know what it takes for a student to be interested in an online session and how make him/her feel welcomed and non-hesitant about asking any question that comes to mind. I would love to focus on taking A-level students at the moment. I successfully completed my A-levels back in 2018, and I'm currently a mechanical engineering student in university, aiming to gain simultaneous work experience in both engineering and online tutoring. My academic background includes a strong foundation in core subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Additionally, I have pursued specialized coursework in engineering principles and mechanical systems, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Hi, I am Naomi and I am thrilled to be your online tutor. I have had the pleasure of working with students from different ages and backgrounds. I am a tutor for Mathematics and my target students are primary to secondary students. Everyone has a unique learning style, and I like to adapt my teaching approach to meet each student’s needs. I use the online interactive whiteboard for lessons which allows both parties to write, annotate or highlight on the screen. The work for every lesson is carefully designed to suit each individual's need which is identified from initial assessment and ongoing observations. I enjoy teaching because I love helping students to develop their skills and achieve their academic goals. Levels and subjects I teach: GCSE: Mathematics KS3: Mathematics 11 plus: Mathematics I graduated from Imperial College London in BSc in Chemistry with Management with First Class Honours. For A Level, I achieved A in Maths, Chemistry and Accounting and also B in Physics For GCSE, I had 9 GCSEs including 7 A in Maths, Science, Commerce, Geography, etc My academic excellence serves as a strong foundation in tutoring as I can explain concepts clearly ensuring students grasp the material effectively. My experience in tackling challenging problems equips me with strategies to help students approach difficult questions with confidence and precision.
