Hi there. James here, from South Africa. I taught in London in Walthamstow for my probationary year in 1991, and then in Johannesburg and Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa for a total of 21 years. I have taught Cambridge A Level History and England and South Africa's English and History curricula. I am also a published researcher, poet, and author. I enjoy cross-country running. I like NETFLIX mystery series. I regularly get out wilderness walking and cross country swimming. Since February 2025, I tutor English and Religious Studies for GoStudent. I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B. Ed (1996) degree, at Wits University in Johannesburg. I did a Masters Degree in Theology (Regent College, Vancouver, B.C., 2001) and a PhD in Church History (University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2016). I believe education is a lifelong journey. We master English every day for the rest of our lives. So I'm still learning as I tutor GCSE students, A Level students, and juniors, to reach their highest goals.

Hi, I’m Sean Brown, a passionate and dedicated science teacher who enjoys making learning meaningful, engaging, and accessible to every student. I believe science is more than memorizing facts—it’s about understanding how the world works and developing curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. As a tech-savvy educator, I enjoy integrating digital tools, multimedia resources, visual aids, and interactive activities into my lessons to make challenging concepts easier to understand. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel confident asking questions, exploring ideas, and learning at their own pace. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, major in Physical Sciences, which provided me with a strong foundation in Physics, Chemistry, and other areas of science, along with effective teaching strategies and classroom practices. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Education, majoring in General Science, further developing my knowledge and skills in science education.

Ich heiße Anna und studiere Internationale Wirtschaft auf Englisch an der ELTE-Universität in Budapest. Mathematik hat mich schon immer fasziniert, besonders das Erklären und Weitergeben von Wissen. Deshalb habe ich mich entschieden, als Tutorin zu arbeiten. Mein Ziel ist es, dir zu zeigen, dass Mathe nicht nur lösbar, sondern auch spannend sein kann! Mir ist es besonders wichtig, komplexe Aufgaben verständlich in kleine Schritte aufzuteilen, damit du sie leichter nachvollziehen kannst. Gemeinsam finden wir den besten Weg, damit du Mathe nicht nur verstehst, sondern auch Spaß daran hast! Ich habe mein Abitur an einem Gymnasium mit erhöhtem Mathematik-Niveau absolviert. Leider hatte ich einen Mathelehrer, der nur ungern auf die Schwierigkeiten seiner Schüler einging. Doch anstatt aufzugeben, brachte ich mir den Stoff selbst bei – oft stundenlang zu Hause – und bestand mein Abitur mit großem Erfolg. Das eigenständige Lernen hat mir nicht nur viel Spaß gemacht, sondern auch mein Interesse daran geweckt, anderen zu helfen. Meine erste "Schülerin" war meine Schwester, die sich oft in den einzelnen Schritten eines Problems verlor. Durch sie habe ich gelernt, scheinbar einfache Konzepte noch klarer und verständlicher zu erklären. Später unterstützte ich auch mehrere Mitschüler dabei, ihre Mathematiknoten zu verbessern. Derzeit helfe ich einer Studentin an der Universität in Mathematik, und bereits nach wenigen Einheiten sind deutliche Fortschritte in ihren Ergebnissen zu sehen.

My name is Gemma and I am an English and Drama Graduate from Exeter University, 2:1 with a Creative Writing Dissertation. I have aspirations in teaching at Secondary School level and classroom and mentoring experience. I have worked for a year post graduation as a Sabbatical Officer in the Students Union. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing poetry and performing. I achieved 1x 7, 2x 8, 2x A* and 7x 9 in my GCSE's and 3x A at A level in English, Drama and Philosophy and Ethics. I took a gap year working, and volunteered in my school supporting extracurricular drama, and I have since returned 3x with paid opportunities, 2x teaching in music and drama. I went to Exeter University and studied English and Drama acheiving a 2:1 and departmental commendation for contributing to the life of the department. During my time at University I took on leadership and mentoring roles in extracurricular and this led me to my current position as a Sabbatical Officer advocating for Students in the University.
