Hi there. James here, from South Africa. I taught in London in Walthamstow for my probationary year in 1991, and then in Johannesburg and Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa for a total of 21 years. I have taught Cambridge A Level History and England and South Africa's English and History curricula. I am also a published researcher, poet, and author. I enjoy cross-country running. I like NETFLIX mystery series. I regularly get out wilderness walking and cross country swimming. Since February 2025, I tutor English and Religious Studies for GoStudent. I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B. Ed (1996) degree, at Wits University in Johannesburg. I did a Ma...

Upcoming Doctor who really enjoys learning and exploring new ideas. I love reading books, especially anything about medicine or how people and society work. When I’m not studying, you’ll usually find me running, going to the gym, knitting, or cooking something new. I also enjoy teaching younger students because I like breaking things down in a simple, fun way. I’m always curious, always asking questions, and I love understanding how things fit together. Upcoming Doctor with a strong academic background, having earned 9 A* grades at GCSE and studied biology, chemistry, physics, and maths at A‑level. Throughout my education, I’ve written articles that have been published, attended workshops, and built experience that supports my passion for learning and teaching.

I am an experienced mathematics tutor with a strong background in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Bristol. Over the past five years, I have successfully delivered tailored, one-to-one tutoring sessions for students of all abilities, including those with neurodivergencies. My approach focuses on diagnostic assessment, breaking down complex topics into clear steps, and building automated tracking to measure progress. Dedicated to making maths engaging and accessible, I love helping students build long-term confidence and achieve their full potential. I hold a 2:1 master's degree (MEng) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Bristol, where I specialised in Communications and Coding. This rigorous program provided me with a strong mathematical foundation across signal processing and data transmission. Prior to university, I excelled in my A Levels, achieving straight A grades in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, and was named Physicist of the Year by Imperial College London. I also earned a Bronze Award in the Oxford Physics Olympiad, placing in the top 1-3% nationally.

Hi! I am Teacher Erika Marie, a passionate and flexible English tutor here at Edge! I believe that learning English should be exiting, empowering, and tailored just for you. I bring creativity, energy, and a student-centered approach to every lesson, ensuring that you feel supported and challenged in just the right way. My sessions are interactive and goal-oriented - whether you are aiming to ace your GCSEs, Arbitur, and Oral and Written Exams, preparing to ace your desired Cambridge English Proficiency for reading, listening, speaking, and writing, boost your confidence in public speaking, or strengthen your everyday communication skills for future travel plans. With my rich background in public speaking and love for journaling, I bring both structure and self-expression into the classroom, helping you build clarity, confidence, and your own unique voice in English. I'll guide you through lessons that are both meaningful, personalized, and fun. Learning with me is never one-size-fits-all - it's a personalized journey, and I'm excited to be part of yours! Learn English and connect with the world. See you in class! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Education and a TEFL certification which have equipped me with a strong foundation in teaching methods, linguistics, and literature. I am also advancing my teaching repertoire through my current Master's Degree Education. My academic training allows me to craft lessons that are not only comprehensive but also engaging and adaptable to different learning needs. I combine this formal background with my real-world teaching experience to help students reach their goals—whether that’s exam mastery, stronger writing, or everyday language fluency—through lessons that are personalized, purposeful, and enjoyable.
