Hi! I’m an experienced and enthusiastic tutor specialising in GCSE English Language, English Literature, and General Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). I also teach Geography, Economics, and Business Administration, offering students both strong academic support and confidence-building strategies. I’m passionate about helping students break down difficult ideas, improve exam technique, and achieve grades they didn’t think were possible. What I Specialise In 🎓 English Language (AQA Expert) • Paper 1 & Paper 2 structure and timing • High-level analytical writing • Understanding writers’ methods • Model answers, mark-scheme breakdowns, and strategies to jump a grade quickly English Literature • Of Mice and Men, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Poetry • Essay structure, theme analysis, key quotations, and exam-ready paragraphs Science (Biology, Chemistry & Physics) • Clear explanations of tricky concepts • Memory techniques for content-heavy topics • Exam practice focused on command words and application Humanities & Business Subjects • Geography – physical & human geography, case studies, exam technique • Economics – micro, macro, diagrams, and real-world application • Business Administration / Business Studies – planning, marketing, finance, exam writing 🌟 Success Stories Here are a few examples of the progress my students have made: • GCSE English Language student: improved from Grade 4 to Grade 7 in 8 weeks through structured practice and targeted feedback. • Biology student: moved from Grade 5 to Grade 8 after focusing on exam command words and simplifying complex processes. • Chemistry student: gained confidence with calculations and improved two grades by developing step-by-step problem-solving methods. • English Literature student: went from writing short paragraphs to producing full, high-level essays, eventually achieving a Grade 9. • Geography student: improved exam timing and case-study recall, boosting their mark by 25%. Parents regularly tell me their children feel more motivated, more confident, and more prepared after just a few lessons. My Teaching Style⭐️ • Friendly, patient, and clear explanations • Lots of exam practice, model answers, and personalised feedback • I teach students how to think like examiners • Strong focus on confidence, planning, and understanding why answers score marks • I tailor lessons to match each student’s ability, school curriculum, and goals 🎯 What Students Can Expect With Me By the end of our lessons, students typically: • write higher-level answers with confidence • understand exactly how to hit the mark scheme • improve grades quickly and consistently • feel motivated and supported • learn efficient revision and exam techniques 📩 Looking Forward to Meeting You Whether your child needs to boost confidence, improve grades, or push towards top marks, I’m here to help. I make lessons engaging, structured, and fully tailored to each student’s needs.

Hi, I’m Safoora, currently a second-year medical student with a strong passion for education across a range of subjects. Medicine has taught me not just the importance of hard work, but also how to communicate complex ideas clearly and patiently — skills I bring into my tutoring sessions. I tutor GCSE Biology, chemistry, combined science and psychology, as well as KS3 and KS2 Science. I understand that subjects like biology and chemistry can sometimes feel overwhelming, so I focus on breaking down difficult concepts into manageable, straightforward steps tailored to how each student learns best. I’m genuinely passionate about helping students build confidence and develop a deeper understanding so they’re fully prepared to tackle any challenges they face in exams. I believe learning should be interactive, engaging, and relevant, so I work to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether it’s helping with exam preparation or simply tackling tricky topics, my aim is to support students in developing critical thinking skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom. Outside of my studies, I enjoy reading and keeping fit, which help me maintain balance and stay motivated. I’m excited to share my enthusiasm for learning and help you achieve your goals — whether that’s improving your grades, boosting your confidence, or just enjoying the learning process more! I received my early education at three different primary schools, which provided me with a strong academic foundation. I then completed my GCSEs at a college and pursued A-levels at a community school. I am now a second-year medical student at the University of Nottingham.

About me: I am completing my Physics degree at the University of Manchester and used to compete in Physics and Astronomy competitions at school, which inspired me to pursue a career as a scientist. One of my hobbies is astronomy, especially stargazing and tracking meteors during meteor showers. Still, my true passion is to make knowledge accessible to as many people as possible and use science to make the world a slightly better place. Lower level: Mathematics, Science GCSE level: Mathematics, Physics A-level: Mathematics, Physics Higher level: Physics Programming languages: Python, C++, LaTeX SEN experience: I have worked with year 7&8 SEN students for a few weeks as part of my teaching internship, helping them with their Science lessons. Preferred age group: I don't have a preferred age group; I simply want to work with someone willing to put in the work and communicate openly about their struggles. Any additional languages: Bulgarian I am currently completing my Physics undergrad (preceded by a foundation year) at the University of Manchester. I graduated from one of the most elite high schools in my home country, which focused on Maths and Computer science. I used to compete in Physics and Astronomy competitions and olympiads, where I was one of the top-performing students. Before I studied Physics, I studied Architecture for two years at the same university - I wanted to try something different, since I love arts and see myself as a very creative person, but realised that science was my true passion and switched to Physics, where you find me now. I have worked several part-time jobs and completed several internships to support myself alongside my studies. These include an internship as a civil servant, part of the Government Operational Research Service, and the National Teaching Internship Programme, provided by the Department of Education. The teaching internship involved teaching GCSE and A-level Maths and Physics to students between years 7 and 12 in a few local schools and colleges. This experience helped me realise how much I enjoy teaching, fostering critical thinking skills in others, and guiding them towards discovering their passions. It also taught me how inclusive and expansive science can be and how crucial education is.

Hi! I’m Catherine Solomon, a tutor passionate about turning tricky concepts into “aha!” moments. I teach Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Basic Science, Math, and English, breaking down complex topics into simple steps. My goal is to create a positive space where learning is fun, clear, and rewarding! I hold a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering, where I honed problem-solving skills and discovered a passion for teaching as a part-time tutor in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Science, and Math. I’ve also taught English to diverse learners, helping students confidently achieve their academic goals.
