Hi! I’m Laureen Caitlin, a passionate Math tutor dedicated to helping students aged 11–18 build confidence and actually enjoy problem-solving. Math doesn’t have to be scary, and I’m here to prove that! I love breaking down complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand steps, making every lesson feel achievable and even fun. Seeing students go from “I don’t get it” to “I got it!” is what I love most about teaching. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy singing and exploring new hobbies which helps me bring positive energy and creativity into my lessons. I hold a Master of Arts in Education major in Mathematics from Far Eastern University and a PhD in Educational Leadership from Universidad de Dagupan. With years of teaching and tutoring experience, I specialize in guiding high school learners to master mathematical concepts with clarity, patience, and a student-centered approach. I am passionate about building confidence in learners and helping them develop a deeper understanding of Mathematics through structured, engaging, and supportive instruction.

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.

From a remarkably young age, my journey has been defined by an insatiable curiosity and a multi-disciplinary drive—whether I was writing poetry and stories, teaching mathematics, repairing bicycles, phones, and computers, or mastering multiple musical instruments. Driven by deep planning, discipline, and consistency, I possess the proven ability to learn and master any skill from novice to advanced level. Over nine years of teaching Mathematics and English across diverse age groups—and designing my own custom educational materials—I have empowered learners to truly understand complex concepts, with 90 percent of my students significantly improving both their academic performance and work ethic. This impact led local schools to invite me specifically to help break down advanced mathematical concepts for their classes. Parallel to my teaching, my background in technology spans practical software development, data science, systems administration, and security. I code fluently in Python and JavaScript, hold intermediate proficiency in C, C++, C#, Java, and PHP, and build custom, accurate software tools that automate workflows and dramatically reduce operational time. Highly adaptable across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, I leverage my advanced mathematical background alongside cloud computing to group, sort, organize, and analyze complex datasets into meaningful, actionable insights. I am proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) to optimize business efficiency, and I maintain a solid foundation in cybersecurity to perform safety tests, protect systems, and execute proper threat response measures. Beyond technical and academic expertise, I am a dedicated communicator, mediator, and community mentor. I take pride in explaining products and services with clarity, treating every customer with respect, and stepping in as a neutral third party to resolve conflicts with win-win solutions. Grounded in empathy, I deliver motivational talks on life, technology, the arts, and mathematics, and I have spent my spare time teaching piano, guitar, and vocals to youth as a constructive outlet against depression, violence, and substance abuse. Ultimately, I don't work merely for a salary; I work to learn, teach, innovate, and collaborate, combining ideas with diverse teams to build healthy, successful systems where quality solutions thrive. I am a passionate educator with over 12 years of experience teaching Mathematics, dedicated to helping students build confidence and excel in their studies. Throughout my teaching career, I have supported learners across Key Stages 2, 3, and 4, as well as GCSE (AQA, OCR, Edexcel), AS Level, and A Level Mathematics. Beyond classroom instruction and private tutoring, I extend my impact by authoring mathematics books and developing educational apps designed to make complex concepts clear, engaging, and accessible. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, alongside a BSc in Computer Science—a combination that allows me to bridge the gap between theoretical elegance and practical innovation. While my work in mathematics gives me the tools to decode complex patterns, structure rigorous logic, and model the universe's most intricate problems, my studies in computer science allow me to bring those abstract formulas to life through code, algorithm design, and software engineering. I don't just study equations on a page or lines of code on a screen; I build a unified discipline where mathematical precision fuels technological solutions, transforming raw logic into real-world impact. My teaching practice is deeply informed by educational psychology, allowing me to understand how individual learners process information and tailor my approach to their unique learning styles. I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent learners, including students with ADHD and dyslexia, and I adapt strategies to foster an inclusive, structured, and encouraging environment. Having worked with a diverse range of international students, I often communicate with learners in their home languages to build trust, bridge cultural gaps, and ensure complex concepts are fully understood. Driven by a strong belief in lifelong learning and effective communication, my work spans multiple disciplines. In addition to tutoring mathematics, I serve as an Air Traffic Service Officer—where precision, analytical thinking, and high-stakes problem-solving are paramount—and perform as a musician, blending technical expertise with creative passion. I explore the beauty of pure mathematical theory and apply it directly to real-world challenges. By taking abstract concepts, patterns, and complex equations, I translate them into practical solutions for modern problems. Whether it's modeling complex systems, analyzing data, or building logical frameworks, my focus is on using the power of mathematics to make sense of the world and build better solutions for the future.

Hello, I am a stop motion animator and aspiring filmmaker based in Scotland. Stop motion has allowed me to focus on my passion for storytelling and combines my love of literature, theatre and art. I absolutely adore stories: reading them, watching them, and capturing them myself. I am dyslexic and it has taken me time to develop all of the studying tips and tricks that I now have the privilege to share with others. I’m also a keen gardener, baker and painter. I have a first class joint honours Master of Arts in English literature and Film & Visual Culture from the University of Aberdeen. I was given the Seafield medal for English and the Film 23’ prize for my dissertation. I also studied Geology, Geography and Ecology as elective subjects at university. I also recently completed the Aardman Academy animation courses SM1 and SM2. I did GCSE’s and IGCSE’s followed by the International Baccalaureate at St Leonard’s High School and attended the Royal Conservatoire Juniors Production program alongside. My main subjects at IB level were English, Environmental Systems and Societies, Maths, Italian, art and theatre.
