Katrina M.

I’m a dedicated and enthusiastic student, studying German and Economics and university. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence and develop a genuine understanding of their subjects. I aim to create supportive, engaging lessons tailored to each student’s individual needs. I went to Wallington High School for Girls for secondary school, where I completed A levels in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and German. I am going to start a joint honours course in German and Economics at the University of Warwick, which I am thoroughly looking forward to.

I’m a third-year aeronautical engineering student who knows from experience what it feels like when lectures, textbooks, or problem sheets just don’t make sense the first (or fifth) time. I’ve been in the position where school support wasn’t quite enough, which is why I enjoy helping students bridge that gap and actually understand what’s going on, not just memorise steps. My approach is relaxed, patient, and focused on building confidence alongside knowledge. There are no silly questions here — if something doesn’t make sense, that just means it’s worth asking about as I strongly believe that asking questions is part of learning, and no one should feel embarrassed for needing things explained differently. Outside academics, I’m a big sports fan and still play football for my own club as well as my university team. I love the outdoors, animals, and generally staying active, which probably explains why I like explanations that are clear, practical, and grounded rather than overly abstract. My goal is to make learning feel less intimidating and a lot more achievable. My degree has strengthened my analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and ability to break complex ideas into logical, easy-to-follow steps — skills that translate directly into effective tutoring. During school, I took on leadership and mentoring roles, including serving as a Maths Ambassador, and went on to complete certifications in Sports Leadership, Mentoring in Violence Prevention, and Mental Health Ambassador training. Together, these experiences strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and ability to build both understanding and confidence in others.

Having delivered more than 5000 private lessons, I have developed a structured programme that addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of English Language and Literature. Throughout my teaching experience, I have observed that many GCSE and A Level students struggle with contextual understanding, language and structure analysis, and effective time management in examinations. My lessons are designed to address these challenges through clear guidance, targeted practice, and personalised feedback tailored to each student's needs. About Me Language is not simply a tool for communication; it is a reflection of how we understand ourselves, our culture, and the world around us. I am currently a PhD candidate and have published research on sexism and gender bias in language, exploring how linguistic choices can influence perceptions and social attitudes. My research and teaching experience have reinforced the belief that every student learns differently. As a result, I adapt my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, helping students build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and reach their full academic potential. Outside academia, I enjoy going to the gym, playing football, and travelling, which provide a welcome balance to my research and teaching commitments. ✩ Valedictorian Achieved the highest academic ranking throughout both undergraduate and postgraduate studies Education • PhD Candidate (Year 1) • MA with High Distinction | Research Focus: Sociopragmatics and Classroom Research • BA in English Linguistics and Literature (Graduated First in Cohort) • Bachelor's Degree in Education and Teaching Diploma

Hi! My name is Hector, and I am a 3rd year Biochemistry Student at The University of Warwick. My aim is to help people feel confident in Biology. As a university student, I understand how frustrating it can be when a topic just doesn't make sense. My approach is patient and clearly structured, with a focus on making sure the student not only knows what the answer is, but why it is the answer. Outside of my studies I enjoy going to the gym, playing padel and reading. I hope you will find my lessons enjoyable! I attended The Portsmouth Grammar School where I completed my GCSEs and A Levels. I studied Biology, Chemisty and Maths at A Level. After A Levels I took a year out where I worked as a ski instructor, gaining a Level 2 CSIA qualification, which allowed me to work with a large variety of clients. Currently, I am in my 3rd year of Biochemistry at The University of Warwick with a predicted First-Class, after which I'm going to undertake a masters. I'm love all biology, but my studies currently focus on oncology and molecular cell biology.
