Hello there! Hope you are well. My name is Joshua Hailey and my pronouns are he/him. I have been an online tutor for over three years, and I hope this 'About Me' section gives you an insight into who I am and my teaching style. Before I go into more detail about who I am, I would urge you to read the reviews, (also on this page), from some of my current and past parents whose children I am teaching/have taught! These statements can help you make an informed decision and, (hopefully), choose me as your child's next tutor. I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. I also have a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. With over three years tutoring experience, a strong work ethic and excellent time management skills, I have challenged and supported students across all educational stages, including primary school pupils right up to A Level students! I want your child to succeed and I truly believe they can do this! My lessons are varied, fun, but get the work done! Education is not 'one size fits all', and online tutoring is the perfect example of this. My sessions will see your child grow from strength to strength, as they learn new concepts and methods of success in their respective subject. You will not find me simply reading off a screen for the entire lesson, but you can expect interactivity to drive every single lesson that I will (hopefully) have with your child! In addition to English tuition, I also offer Primary Maths, 11+ and History. I have experience supporting students in all these subjects, and have completed them to a GCSE/A Level standard (for more information on this, please see my 'Academic Background' section). In summary, I promise to adopt a customised learning plan and positive ethos for your child across all sessions. As the parent, you deserve to feel included in your child's progress. I will endeavour to regularly update you through messages, comprehensive written reports and periodic phone calls should you want them! Here is a full list of the subjects I offer depending on the age of your child: Reception-Year 9: Maths (Primary age only), English Language, English Literature, SPaG, Reading, Comprehension, Literacy, History, 11+ (For 11+ I can only offer English and Verbal Reasoning so please keep this in mind.) GCSE: History, (Edexcel and AQA), English Language (including the Speaking and Listening component), English Literature (AQA or Edexcel), SPaG, Reading skills Exam Board Experience: AQA and Edexcel Languages I speak: English SND Experience: Little to no real-life experience, but I have had mentoring from an SND tutor So... what are you waiting for! Are you ready to see your child thrive? Let's do this! I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. I have completed a Masters degree in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. Below are my other qualifications and their examination boards. If you decide to choose me as the tutor for your child I am more than happy to go into detail about my qualifications at your first session!

Hello! I’m Harshini Mahesh Kumar, a dedicated STEM educator passionate about helping students build confidence, achieve academic success, and develop a genuine love for learning. With extensive experience teaching and tutoring Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology across GCSE and A-Level, I create personalised lessons tailored to each student’s learning style, strengths, and academic goals. Whether a student is aiming to improve their grades, prepare for examinations, or strengthen their understanding of core concepts, I provide structured guidance and continuous support every step of the way. I specialise in explaining complex concepts in a clear, engaging, and practical manner, helping students develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills while building a deeper understanding of STEM subjects. I believe every student has the ability to succeed when they are supported, challenged, and encouraged in the right way. My lessons are interactive, positive, and designed to build both knowledge and confidence, creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, think independently, and achieve their full potential. If you’re looking for a patient, enthusiastic, and committed tutor who is passionate about helping students excel in STEM subjects, I’d be delighted to support your learning journey. I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Hertfordshire, where I developed advanced knowledge in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, protein science, and bioinformatics. My studies provided extensive practical experience in laboratory techniques, research methodologies, recombinant DNA technology, next-generation sequencing, and genomics, equipping me with strong analytical and scientific research skills. I previously completed a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Biotechnology. This programme established a solid foundation in biotechnology, microbiology, molecular biology, and laboratory practices while strengthening my problem-solving, critical thinking, and scientific communication abilities through research projects and practical laboratory work. Alongside my academic qualifications, I have gained valuable experience supporting scientific research and delivering high-quality STEM education. These opportunities have enabled me to apply my scientific knowledge in both research and teaching, further developing my analytical, organisational, and communication skills. My educational journey has equipped me with a strong scientific foundation, a commitment to continuous learning, and a passion for making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging for students.
