Hello! My name is Rifnas Siyathdeen, and I am a dedicated tutor with 10 years of teaching experience supporting O/L and A/L students. I help learners build strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and academic confidence across their subjects. I have taught students following UK Local, several USA State syllabi, Cambridge, Edexcel, American, and Indian CBSE curricula. I believe every O/L and A/L student can succeed with the right guidance and encouragement. That’s why I use real-life examples, visual aids, interactive activities, and step-by-step explanations to ensure students truly understand concepts rather than memorizing them. I’m patient, friendly, and committed to helping students move from confusion to confidence. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, motivating, and tailored to each student’s individual needs, and I look forward to supporting you in achieving your academic goals. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce and a Master’s Degree in Accounting. I also hold a TEFL certificate, which has strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt my teaching to students of different backgrounds and language levels. Over the past 10 years, I have developed professionally by tutoring students from various academic systems, including Cambridge IGCSE, Edexcel, UK Local, American curriculum, USA State syllabi, and Indian CBSE. I have also supported students with mild Autism and ADHD, which has taught me how to adapt lessons to match each student’s individual learning style and abilities. My educational background, combined with hands-on experience, allows me to simplify complex concepts and teach in a way that truly connects with learners, helping them gain confidence and succeed in their studies.

Hello! My name is Erin, I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Birmingham. As a tutor, my main aim is to quickly determine a students weaknesses, then create a dedicated study plan to help them improve in those areas. I believe that active recall, spaced repetition, and lots and lots of past paper questions - are the key to success! I am well versed in tutoring students of all ages; I have tutored various students ranging from ages 6 to 16 in a variety of different settings. I am also experienced in entrance exam tutoring. Having sat several entrance exams over my lifetime, I understand how to make a study plan that is both time efficient and effective, and how to utilise this study plan effectively. I have previously mentored students who wish to study medicine through UCAS, entrance exam and interview preparation; several of them currently study at top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge! In my spare time, I am a highly creative person - I frequently attend dance classes, I music direct/conduct my university choir, and I scrapbook! I also love to read :) Currently attending the University of Birmingham Medical School - 1st year, Medicine. Attended a top London Grammar school; where I achieved 10 A*s (Grades 8-9) at GCSE level, and 3 As at A level in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. In addition to educational qualifications, I also study the piano; I have completed my Grade 8 and am currently working towards my diploma in Music Performance!

Hello! I am a dual Australian–British national and a recent graduate with Bachelor of Laws and Master of Laws degrees. Having lived in four different countries, I understand first-hand the challenges and experiences of international students, and I bring this awareness into my tutoring through an empathetic and flexible approach. Last year, I had the opportunity to teach abroad in Switzerland, where I taught English to French, German, and Italian students learning it as a second language. This experience gave me valuable insight into the needs of ESL learners, allowing me to support students in building confidence and fluency in both written and spoken English. *I am currently only taking GCSE & A-level students (AQA). I am comfortable teaching all texts except for An Inspector Calls.* Education I recently completed a Master of Laws (LLM) degree, graduating with a Distinction and receiving the LLM Award for the highest overall grade in my cohort. Prior to this, I earned a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). For my A-levels, I studied English, Religious Studies, Psychology, and completed an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) - achieving four A*s. At GCSE level, I completed eight subjects, including a Grade 9 in English Language and a Grade 8 in English Literature, reflecting my strong foundation in the subject I now teach.
