Liso S.

I’m Akosua, a Chemical Engineering student who enjoys understanding how things work and finding new ideas to explore. I’m naturally calm and steady, and I like taking my time to think things through. People often describe me as approachable and easy to talk to, and I enjoy creating a positive atmosphere wherever I am. My experience in customer service and child supervision has helped me grow into someone who communicates clearly, listens well, and stays patient even when things get busy. I enjoy connecting with others, supporting people when they need it, and bringing a sense of reliability and kindness into my everyday life. Outside my studies, I like staying active, listening to music, and discovering new interests. I care about personal growth and being someone others can depend on, and those values shape how I move through the world. I completed my secondary education at The Nobel School, where I finished all of my GCSEs across a wide range of subjects. I continued into sixth form at the same school, studying A‑levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, which strengthened my interest in science and problem‑solving and prepared me for further study. I am now studying for a BEng in Chemical Engineering at Swansea University, where I’m building a strong foundation in engineering principles, laboratory work, analytical thinking, and applied scientific methods. My academic strengths and specialisations are in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, which support both my degree and my wider academic interests. Alongside my formal education, I’ve gained experience in customer service, child supervision, and scientific environments through roles at Argos, Sunday School, and placements at Lister Hospital, GSK, and BP. These experiences have strengthened my communication skills, professionalism, and ability to work well with different people. Overall, my educational journey has been shaped by curiosity, consistency, and a genuine interest in understanding how things work.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with a strong passion for teaching and supporting children in their academic development. I enjoy working with students of all ages, from primary school through to A-level, and I take great pride in helping learners build confidence and achieve their academic potential. Alongside my academic background, I have a wide range of interests including playing sports and cooking different recipes, which I enjoy in my free time. I am also multilingual and can speak both Bengali and Urdu fluently, allowing me to communicate effectively with students and families from diverse backgrounds. I have valuable teaching experience, having previously run my own private tuition sessions for primary school children, primarily focusing on English. I am currently expanding this to include secondary school students as well. I tutor primary school students in both Maths and English, GCSE students in English Language and English Literature, and A-level students in Finance. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to improve and succeed. In addition to tutoring, I have worked in a primary school where I provided one-to-one support for SEN (Special Educational Needs) students, assisting them with their learning and development. This experience has given me valuable insight into different learning styles and classroom approaches, helping me tailor my tutoring to meet the individual needs of each student. Teaching is something I have always been passionate about from a young age. I strongly believe in the importance of education in shaping a child’s future, and I am committed to supporting students in reaching their full potential. I hope to continue inspiring and guiding students through their academic journeys while also progressing within my own professional career in finance. Academically, I achieved a Grade 8 in English Literature and a Grade 6 in English Language at GCSE level. I also studied Finance at A-level, achieving an A*, which reflects my strong interest and ability in the subject. I recently completed my undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of East London in 2024, graduating with First Class Honours. Throughout my degree, I developed a strong understanding of financial principles, accounting practices, and analytical skills essential for a successful career in finance. Following my degree, I also completed a postgraduate course related to Accounting and Finance, achieving a Pass with Distinction. This has further strengthened my knowledge and reinforced my ambition to pursue a career as a Chartered Accountant in the future.

I have just started university and I am eager to help my students in a supportive way with a dynamic based on mutual respect. Outside of my studies I love to watch football, go on hikes in the South Downs and read the financial times, as I am of course interested in any developments in markets. I went to Sackville School, East Grinstead and completed 12 GCSE's and one level 2 certificate in Further Maths, all at grade 7 and above. I then progressed to my A-Levels, achieving A*AAA in Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Physics. During my time I also gained a Gold Certificate in the Senior Maths Challenge and participated in the Senior Maths Kangaroo, whilst also participating in the FCDO Next generation Economics essay competition.
