Harini M.

I'm Oscar, a mathematics tutor with an Integrated Master's in Mathematics (First Class honours) from the University of Bath. I am now based in Berlin and am currently completing a MSc in Mathematics at Freie Universität with a focus in graph theory and network science. I've been tutoring maths (and sometimes chess!) both online and in-person for over a year now, and I have enjoyed every moment of it; I like to focus on building a deep conceptual understanding for each student, rather than just simply teaching pattern-matching to exam questions. Tailoring the way I teach to the unique way in which each student learns is one of my favourite parts of getting to know a new student. I attended Ilkley Grammar School in West Yorkshire, England between the ages of 11-18. Here I attained 10 GCSEs (all A*s), 3 A-levels in Maths (A*), Further Maths (A*) and English Literature (A*) alongside an AS-level in Physics (a). I then enrolled at the University of Bath in 2022 on an Integrated Master's course in mathematics, graduating in July 2026 with first class honours and a grade of 84% on my final year dissertation in Probability Theory. I am currently enrolled at Freie Universität and will be completing an MSc in Mathematics, specialising in Graph Theory and Network Science.

I am basically a B.Sc.-qualified technical person who became a language teacher while working as a computer programmer/systems analyst in Switzerland. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. I have been tutoring online for over 5 years, working for such organisations as Berlitz & the British Council. I live near Durham, UK, and have a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. After many years in French-speaking Europe, north Africa, the Arabian Gulf, Chile & central Asia, I now live near Durham, UK, and have had a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. Although language teaching is my main activity, I can also teach PC windows-technique, Microsoft utilities, and a few GCSE subjects. My EFL (English as a Foreign Language) specialities are IELTS preparation for both Academic & General Training candidates. After O/A-levels and completing an Ordinary National Diploma in Engineering, I chose to do a Computer Science degree at N. Staffordshire Polytechnic because it was possible to study French intensively alongside. This meant that the 3rd (industrial) year had to be spent in a French-speaking country and in my case that was Switzerland, where I spent a year at CERN in Geneva. To become an English language teacher I obtained the CTEFLA in Geneva in 1995 and went on to study for the DELTA.

If you are looking for a tutor who combines deep subject expertise with a strategic, exam-oriented approach, I am here to help. As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer holding dual degrees in Engineering and Business Administration, and with extensive teaching experience right here on GoStudent, I specialize in helping students navigate the pressures of GCSEs across all major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, IGCSE). Why Choose Me? Exam-Focused Strategy: I don't just teach the syllabus; I teach the mark scheme. I have a proven track record of moving students from "struggling" to "A/A*" by mastering exam techniques and time management. Expert Adaptability: Having studied in multiple countries, I adapt my teaching style to the students’ unique pace. Whether it’s an intensive "crash course" for upcoming GCSEs or long-term support to build confidence, I tailor every session. The "Insider" Edge: As an Electrical-Electronics Engineer with a background in business, I pair my understanding of complex STEM subjects with clear communication and structured study plans. I bridge the gap between rigorous academic theories and "fun," relatable learning. Experience Across the Board: With 5 years of professional tutoring and 8 years of volunteering, I’ve worked with all ages—from primary foundations to high-stakes secondary exams. My Philosophy I believe that "learning should be fun," but I also know that results build confidence. My goal is to remove the fear of the subject and replace it with a passion for improvement. Whether your child needs a rigorous, fast-paced review for their upcoming GCSEs or patient, long-term support to overcome their academic anxieties, I have the tools and the experience to get them there. Education: Dual Degrees in Engineering & Business I hold degrees in both Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Business Administration. This unique combination pairs the deep, analytical rigor required for advanced mathematics and physics with the strategic communication and organizational skills of a business background. My academic journey has been highly international, allowing me to study, collaborate, and teach across different cultures and educational frameworks. This global exposure has made me highly adaptable, enabling me to seamlessly navigate the UK curriculum while bringing an innovative, well-rounded approach to problem-solving. I speak multiple languages and pride myself on connecting easily with students from all backgrounds, turning complex subjects into clear, manageable strategies for success.

Hello! My name is Erin, I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Birmingham. As a tutor, my main aim is to quickly determine a students weaknesses, then create a dedicated study plan to help them improve in those areas. I believe that active recall, spaced repetition, and lots and lots of past paper questions - are the key to success! I am well versed in tutoring students of all ages; I have tutored various students ranging from ages 6 to 16 in a variety of different settings. I am also experienced in entrance exam tutoring. Having sat several entrance exams over my lifetime, I understand how to make a study plan that is both time efficient and effective, and how to utilise this study plan effectively. I have previously mentored students who wish to study medicine through UCAS, entrance exam and interview preparation; several of them currently study at top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge! In my spare time, I am a highly creative person - I frequently attend dance classes, I music direct/conduct my university choir, and I scrapbook! I also love to read :) Currently attending the University of Birmingham Medical School - 1st year, Medicine. Attended a top London Grammar school; where I achieved 10 A*s (Grades 8-9) at GCSE level, and 3 As at A level in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. In addition to educational qualifications, I also study the piano; I have completed my Grade 8 and am currently working towards my diploma in Music Performance!
