I achieved A* in Economics and A's in Biology and Chemistry in my recent A-levels. Unlike typical tutors, I've been in the student's shoes, balancing A-levels, a social life, and university applications. As a gap year student aspiring to study medicine, I'm here to guide you through this challenging journey. In Year 12, I faced initial struggles, earning E, D, and C grades in Economics, Chemistry, and Biology. But within 8 months, I transformed my grades in economics achieving one of the highest marks in the country. As a student I've overcome the same roadblocks, revision hardships, and academic pressures as you. Top grades require more than just content knowledge; they demand effective hard work. Luck plays a role, but it's essentially a mathematical probability principle. With strategic effort, you can tilt the odds in your favour, no matter what challenges come your way. My tutoring sessions are personalised to each student's needs. To ensure the most effective guidance, I ask students to provide specific instructions for our sessions. This way, I can tailor my approach . My tutoring philosophy is based on a series of books / research paper i have read on educational neurosciences of how to learn most effectively which i personally implemented thus i know work for the average student . I have tutored for over 1000 hours so far - testimonials available on request . I accommodate the students as much as possible . Spaces are available but they are limited Achieved A* , A , A in alevels in 2023 in Economics , Biology , Chemistry respectively. As a student I know the struggles of taking some of the hardest alevels and balancing the workload that comes with them , I also took GCSEs in 2021 and received 12 GSCES at 9-7 grades .

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.

Hello! I'm Alex, an enthusiastic English teacher from England with a love for making learning fun, engaging and memorable. I've always been passionate about language - starting from my early school days, where I would read thesauruses and Atlases memorising all the words and capital cities for pure entertainment! Now, I focus on helping students enjoy and remember what they learn, making every lesson both captivating and effective. With a degree in Media, Culture & Social Sciences from the University of the West of England and as a fully qualified TEFL teacher, I bring a rich blend of cultural insight and academic excellence to my English teaching. I’ve traveled extensively across China, South America, and Europe, which has deepened my understanding of diverse learning styles and cultural nuances. In addition to my educational background, I’m also a certified health coach, specialising in holistic healing and self-empowerment. My approach to teaching is holistic and student-centred, fostering a supportive environment where your child can thrive both academically and inter-personally. I’m committed to helping students build confidence and achieve success in their English language journey.

My name is Chloe, and I am currently in my final year of my masters! I enjoy teaching as much as I enjoy learning. My lessons will be interactive, detailed and adapt to your needs, it will be a safe space to learn and understand different topics. I look forward to sharing my love for knowledge with you! I completed the International Baccalaureate where I went to study 6 subjects in sixth form at Dartford grammar, (rather than the typical 3 A levels). I then completed a degree in biomedical sciences (1st class dissertation), then went straight into my Masters. I am now in my final year of my masters studying to be a Physician Associate!
