Jessica S.

I teach senior high school mathematics at all levels, from foundational to advanced. With years of experience as a government tax specialist and roles as a system analyst, programmer, and statistician in IT, I transitioned to teaching, which has always been my passion. I began tutoring in college to support my expenses and discovered the rewarding challenge of working with a student with dyscalculia. Through tailored strategies and building strong rapport, she succeeded. My diverse background has made me resourceful and innovative, enhancing my effectiveness in both teaching and problem-solving. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from St. Scholastica’s College, Manila, where I completed challenging courses such as Calculus, Statistical Analysis, Number Theory, and Linear Algebra. I also pursued post-graduate studies in Mathematics Education at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, focusing on educational strategies and child development, with research on learning disabilities. Although I couldn’t complete my thesis due to budget constraints, I am skilled in teaching all levels of mathematics, including Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Statistics, and Business Mathematics.

I studied Biology, chemistry and maths at A-levels. I have been tutoring for the past 4 years and my students always say that I have helped and encouraged their learning! I love to bake, cook, swim and run. Hi, my name is Dhruvi Kanadia and I am a fourth year dental student at the University of Birmingham! I'm really enthusiastic and I can't wait to teach you biology, chemistry and maths at GCSE. As an individual that has personally benefitted from tutoring, I understand the positive impact good tutoring has on students. I aim to develop confidence and inspire curiosity in the topics I tutor. I find interactive lessons most productive, as tutoring is 1-to-1, students can engage more and ask questions that they may have been afraid to ask in school. - As at A Level in Biology, Chemistry, Maths - 8 x Grade 9s in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Geography, English literature, French, Religious Studies - 2 x Grade 8s in English Language, Business Studies
