Milo here - an incoming first year medical student and aspiring surgeon, with a passion for medical education. Outside the lecture hall, you’ll find me pushing limits in the gym or tackling challenging trails on my mountain bike, always chasing my next adventure. I’m a life long learner and crave knowledge - I feel a high degree of satisfaction passing on this knowledge throughout my time as a tutor, from breaking down complex theories into understandable chunks of information, to finally being able to answer that tricky exam question; I will be there to support you in your journey through the education system. My teaching style consists of ensuring fundamental topics are well understood - thus building on this foundation with direct application to exam board questions. I do not teach outside of the relevant specification. Once content is well understood, lessons with me will be almost entirely exam question based, working through past paper questions together or sharing thought processes - working with me will ensure you are ready for your GCSE and A-Level exams. "The eyes cannot see what the mind does not know".

Hi! I am a tutor specialising in English Literature, History, and Psychology, currently studying Human, Social, Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge. I personally also love arts and illustration; and so I aim to also work as an illustrator in the holidays during my degree. I teach Psychology to ALevel and GCSE standard, and English Literature for KS3, GCSE and Alevels. I also teach History from KS3, GCSE, and A-level as well. For all my students, I aim to encourage a love of learning and create a deep understanding of the importance of education. I enjoy seeing students progress and gain self-motivation and self esteem, as I believe that every student has potential and needs to believe in themselves to unlock it. Many students feel as if they are not 'intelligent' enough to do well, and feel ashamed to ask for help. I want to stress to all my students that there is no such thing as failure; only redirection, and that there are many different forms of intelligence. Every student is intelligent in different ways - creative, emotional, or logical, even if the mainstream idea of intelligence does not immediately reflect their personal strengths. It is important for students to understand that grades do not define their self worth, but are merely tools to unlock new paths for their life, and are not the be all and end all of their existence. Learning should encourage a student to be an all-rounder and introduce critical thinking and analytical perception into their toolkit for life. This is why I stress the importance of a good work-life balance to my students and try and help them make links between what they are learning and how it relates to the world around them and their personal, primary interests. After achieving A*A*A in my A-levels (English Literature, Psychology, and History) at St Clement Danes School, I am now studying HSPS (Human, Social, Political Science) at the University of Cambridge. I have tutored students in English Literature, helping them understand themes, structure and language through personalised resources, word banks and guided reading. My work in school mentoring programmes, including Reading Buddies and Franklin Scholars, has given me valuable experience supporting younger students academically and emotionally. I have helped students with lower reading ages gain confidence and progress to harder books, and I have acted as a supportive mentor for pupils facing challenges at home or in school, ensuring they always felt heard and safe. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different needs, lead group sessions and create an inclusive, encouraging dynamic. I have also had significant experience with SEND (ADHD and ADD) kids and I tailor lessons to their individual needs, ensuring that everyone can access learning at their own pace. For students who struggle with reading and dyslexia, I always make sure to have extra material with double-spacing and more accessible fonts, so that no student feels left out and are ready to commit to learning fully. I also am extremely confident teaching both A-level and GCSE Psychology, as I self-studied GCSE Psychology in 6 months and achieved a 9. I am well-versed in examiner reports and mark schemes; and can aid students in understanding structure and content to get top grades in their exams. My strongest teaching experience comes from independently establishing and coaching my school’s World Scholars Cup programme. I created lesson plans from scratch, developed resources across a wide academic curriculum and trained eight students in both debate and subject knowledge. Through structured sessions tailored to each student's learning style and consistent emotional support, my teams went on to win 89 medals and 12 trophies, progressing through multiple global rounds and ultimately qualifying for the final round at Yale University. Alongside coaching, I managed all logistics, balanced communication between parents, teachers and students, and ensured every participant felt confident, organised and motivated. My teaching philosophy is rooted in structure, empathy and tailored guidance. I always begin by understanding each student’s learning style and identifying the areas they struggle with most, because focusing on these areas leads to faster and more meaningful progress. I create detailed lesson plans supported by a bank of ready-made materials and teach students not just what to learn but how to learn. I use techniques such as blurting, mind maps and flashcards and encourage active participation, independent thinking and self-motivated learning. Regular check-ins allow me to monitor their emotional wellbeing and academic progress, ensuring they always feel supported, confident and connected to the learning process.

To Administrators : my schedule is not open to trial lessons, only regular students. Any booking of a trial in my schedule would be considered as a mistake from the administrator. This message has been precised here by advice from the administration itself to avoid any mistake about this subject. To regular students : Hello ! I'm Valentin and I'm an enthusiastic french tutor. Willing to learn French and discover all its secrets ? Here I am ! I offer and adapt my lessons to be suitable for all ages. Whether it's simple conversation, grammar exercises, comprehension, writing, reading or pronunciation. I will work with you to improve your French the best way possible. I can also help with homework or GCSE preparation ! However, you will see that studying with me is not like school. I don't do notation system. What's important for me is to relax the student so that he wants to try to express without being afraid of making a mistake. And even if he does, I could take time to correct him and see together how to improve himself. Mistakes are part of the process of learning. About myself ! I'm mostly a travel-addict and I tell my stories by making cartoons. I've been teaching French to people for two years now and I really discovered the joy to share. I'm quite certain I will share my enthusiasm with you. What's primordial for me is to make people at ease and create a trustful relationship between teacher/student. Finally, sadly, even if my calendar shows any availabilities, these are only opened to students already engaged with Gostudent, also called regular students. I do not give any trial lesson. However, I definitely encourage any already subscribed student to ask me as a tutor. It would be my pleasure to meet you and see how to improve your french. I have : - a Master's degree in Film theory allowing me to teach as a Film studies teacher. - DAEFLE training to have the official FLE teacher title. (DAEFLE = Diplôme d'Aptitude à l'Enseignement du Français Langue Etrangère = Diploma of aptitude to teach French like a foreign language).
