Passionate finalist PhD Candidate and Teaching Assistant in Russian Studies who is interested in sharing his knowledge with equally eager students who want to learn foreign languages (Russian and German), alongside history, sociology, philosophy and political theory. I am also equally eager to teach about culture as part of the lesson. I am finalising my PhD in Russian Studies at Durham University and will obtain my doctor title by the early summer. I also possess an MA in Social and Political Thought from Sussex University and a joint-honours BA in History and Sociology from the University of Greenwich. I also have Erasmus+ exchange experience at the Linnnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden and also taken studied courses in Russian culture and history at the Plekhanov Russian University of ...

Lorenzo G.
Hello, my name is Lorenzo and I am an Italian mathematician. I have been a university lecturer of maths at the Department of Pharmacology of the University of Rome Sapienza for 4 academic years. I have worked at an international college school in Rome (courses fully taught in English language) as a teacher of maths and physics for students of years 10 and 11, following UK Cambridge curriculum and preparing them for the IGCSE exam. Here on Gostudent, so far I have helped tens of students to face Edexcel or AQA advanced maths exams. I am working as a private tutor of maths and physics since approximately 25 years, and I have recently been awarded with the University of London Worldwide Recognised Tutor Status. I want to do some extra job here and I am eager to communicate my passion for Maths ! Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education achieved at University of London (UK) Bachelor's degree in Mathematics achieved at University of Rome Sapienza (Italy). Scientific liceum diploma achieved at a public high school in Rome. Over 4 years of continuous experience as adjunct professor of maths and related subjects at University of Rome Sapienza. 2 years of experience as academic instructor of maths and related subjects at University of Trieste (Italy)

About Me: Relatable & Expert GCSE Maths Tutor with a Double Master’s Background Hello! My name is Daphne Zhang, and I am a dedicated educator here to help you conquer GCSE Mathematics. My academic foundation is built on two Master’s degrees from prestigious Russell Group universities: an MA in TESOL from the University of Sheffield and an MA in Education from the University of York. However, my most valuable asset as a tutor isn't just my degrees—it’s my empathy. To be honest, I wasn't always a "Maths genius" as a child. I personally experienced the frustration, confusion, and "Maths anxiety" that many students feel today. Because I had to work hard to overcome my own struggles with the subject, I truly understand the mental hurdles you might be facing. This personal journey, combined with years of professional teaching experience, allows me to teach GCSE Mathematics (AQA, Edexcel, and OCR) with a unique perspective. I specialize in turning that "I can't do this" attitude into "I understand this now." My TESOL background further helps me deconstruct complex mathematical terminology into simple, everyday language, making even the most intimidating word problems feel manageable. What we will achieve together: • Build Real Confidence: We create a safe space where no question is "silly." I’ve been in your shoes, so I know exactly how to rebuild your self-belief. • Step-by-Step Clarity: I break down Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics into logical chunks that actually make sense. • Exam Success: By mastering exam techniques and past papers, we will work toward jumping 2–3 grade boundaries. I am not just here to help you pass an exam; I am here to show you that with the right support, anyone can master Mathematics. Let’s start this journey together! My Educational Journey & Professional Foundation My academic and professional foundation in the UK began at the University of York, where I earned my first MA in Education. Studying at one of the UK’s leading centers for pedagogical research provided me with a deep understanding of learning psychology and curriculum design. It was during my time at York that I officially began my career in mathematics instruction. I worked extensively as a GCSE Mathematics tutor, delivering both online and face-to-face sessions to local students. This hands-on experience was very helpful and meaningfull; it allowed me to apply educational theories directly to the classroom, helping students navigate the complexities of the AQA and Edexcel syllabi while building their confidence from the ground up. Following my success at York, I moved on to the University of Sheffield to pursue a second MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). While this might seem like a shift in focus, it was actually a strategic move to enhance my math teaching. At Sheffield, I specialized in applied linguistics and communicative strategies. This advanced training gave me the unique ability to "decode" the language of mathematics. I realized that many students struggle with GCSE Maths not because of the numbers, but because of the complex wording of the questions. My expertise from Sheffield allows me to bridge this linguistic gap, making abstract mathematical concepts accessible and clear for every learner. By combining the pedagogical mastery from York with the linguistic precision from Sheffield, I offer a sophisticated, dual-lens approach to tutoring. My background ensures that I don't just "show" students how to solve equations; I use evidence-based teaching methods to ensure they truly internalize the logic, leading to long-term academic success.

Hello! My name is Imo, and I’m a dedicated online Science and Mathematics tutor with a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy. I am passionate about helping students understand challenging topics, gain confidence in their abilities, and achieve their academic goals. Science and maths can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance and support, every student can succeed. My goal is to make learning clear, engaging, and enjoyable, while helping students develop strong problem-solving skills. 📚 Subjects & Levels I Teach Lower Level: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, 11+ Preparation. GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Mathematics. IGCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics. A-Level: Biology Scottish Curriculum: • National 1–4: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics • National 5: Chemistry and Biology 🎓 Experience with Major Exam Boards: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, SQA. ✨ My Teaching Style: My lessons are interactive, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on: • Breaking complex topics into simple, easy-to-understand steps. • Using charts, diagrams, and visual explanations. • Encouraging students to ask questions and think critically. • Building confidence alongside academic ability. What students gain from my lessons are confidence in science and maths; develop strong exam techniques; improve their understanding of difficult concepts; build independent learning skills. My aim is not just to help students pass exams, but to help them truly understand the subject and enjoy learning. I hold a First school leaving, an A-level certificate and a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy( B.Pharm ). In addition, I have earned a TEFL/TESOL certificate and a digital marketing and e-commerce certificate through an online course. Currently, I am further enhancing my skills by undertaking a Data Analyst course, which helps strengthen my problem-solving and logical teaching methods.
