Hello there! Hope you are well. My name is Joshua Hailey and my pronouns are he/him. I have been an online tutor for over three years, and I hope this 'About Me' section gives you an insight into who I am and my teaching style. Before I go into more detail about who I am, I would urge you to read the reviews, (also on this page), from some of my current and past parents whose children I am teaching/have taught! These statements can help you make an informed decision and, (hopefully), choose me as your child's next tutor. I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. I also have a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. With over three years tutoring experience, a strong work ethic and excellent time management skills, I have challenged and supported students across all educational stages, including primary school pupils right up to A Level students! I want your child to succeed and I truly believe they can do this! My lessons are varied, fun, but get the work done! Education is not 'one size fits all', and online tutoring is the perfect example of this. My sessions will see your child grow from strength to strength, as they learn new concepts and methods of success in their respective subject. You will not find me simply reading off a screen for the entire lesson, but you can expect interactivity to drive every single lesson that I will (hopefully) have with your child! In addition to English tuition, I also offer Primary Maths, 11+ and History. I have experience supporting students in all these subjects, and have completed them to a GCSE/A Level standard (for more information on this, please see my 'Academic Background' section). In summary, I promise to adopt a customised learning plan and positive ethos for your child across all sessions. As the parent, you deserve to feel included in your child's progress. I will endeavour to regularly update you through messages, comprehensive written reports and periodic phone calls should you want them! Here is a full list of the subjects I offer depending on the age of your child: Reception-Year 9: Maths (Primary age only), English Language, English Literature, SPaG, Reading, Comprehension, Literacy, History, 11+ (For 11+ I can only offer English and Verbal Reasoning so please keep this in mind.) GCSE: History, (Edexcel and AQA), English Language (including the Speaking and Listening component), English Literature (AQA or Edexcel), SPaG, Reading skills Exam Board Experience: AQA and Edexcel Languages I speak: English SND Experience: Little to no real-life experience, but I have had mentoring from an SND tutor So... what are you waiting for! Are you ready to see your child thrive? Let's do this! I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. I have completed a Masters degree in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. Below are my other qualifications and their examination boards. If you decide to choose me as the tutor for your child I am more than happy to go into detail about my qualifications at your first session!

Hello! I’m Harshini Mahesh Kumar—a passionate educator with a strong academic foundation in Molecular Biotechnology and a rich background in STEM teaching and tutoring. I bring together the precision of science and the art of education to create a meaningful and results-driven learning experience for every student I work with. With years of experience tutoring Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at both GCSE and A-Level, I specialize in designing personalized learning strategies that cater to each student’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach is student-centered and results-focused—fostering not just subject mastery, but also long-term academic confidence. My scientific training adds depth to my teaching, allowing me to highlight real-world applications and encourage analytical thinking. Whether we’re exploring the laws of motion or the intricacies of the cell, I aim to bring each topic to life in a way that is accessible, engaging, and intellectually stimulating. What drives me most is the belief that every student has untapped potential. I strive to create a supportive, motivating, and inspiring environment where learners feel empowered to ask questions, take risks, and truly grow. I continuously seek out innovative teaching tools and methods to keep lessons dynamic and impactful. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring tutor to help you or your child excel in STEM subjects, I’d be delighted to support that journey. Let’s make learning a truly empowering experience! I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Hertfordshire (2021–2022), where I developed an in-depth understanding of molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and protein science. My academic journey was complemented by extensive hands-on experience in research methods, laboratory techniques, and bioinformatics. I also gained exposure to cutting-edge technologies, including recombinant DNA technology, next-generation sequencing, and genomics—preparing me to contribute meaningfully to the rapidly evolving field of biotechnology. Prior to my master’s, I earned a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Biotechnology from Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering & Technology, graduating in 2021. This program laid a strong foundation in biotechnological principles, computational tools, and analytical techniques. Through research projects and practical labs, I cultivated problem-solving skills and a passion for innovation in life sciences. Currently, I serve as a freelance Scientific Assistant at Protlab GPL Limited, where I assist in research, data collection, analysis, and report writing under the guidance of senior scientists. Alongside this, I actively tutor students in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and English through platforms like Tutor Cambridge and freelance services. I specialize in personalized, interactive online lessons that adapt to each learner’s needs and pace. Beyond the sciences, I’ve also contributed in marketing and consultancy roles at Global Trade Fairs, where I led strategic campaigns, promoted global exhibitions, and provided digital marketing solutions to international clients. My journey has also included enriching internships in research, lab management, and clinical settings. Projects such as my study on chick embryo development and work on phytoremediation reflect my ability to conduct independent research and think critically. Passionate about both science and education, I continue to grow as a researcher, mentor, and educator—committed to making a lasting impact through innovation and learning.
