Hi, I’m Maja! (Pronounced Maya). I’m an astrophysics postgrad and a qualified secondary school science teacher. I’ve been through the full rollercoaster of science education, from fighting my way through a master’s degree and emerging with first-class honours, to teaching Year 9s on a Friday afternoon who would rather be anywhere else. Now I help GCSE and A-Level students believe what I already know: you can do this. My goal is to make science feel understandable, interesting, and even a bit fun. When I’m not teaching, you'll find me hanging upside down on an aerial hoop, or writing stories inspired by science and folklore. I went to secondary school in Hungary, where I was initially more interested in the humanities, until I fell in love with space and modern physics. For my leaving qualifications, I completed Advanced Exams in Mathematics and Physics and achieved an A. At university, I completed an integrated Master of Physics degree at the University of Southampton. My first three years focused on general physics (including lab work, mechanics, quantum physics, solid state physics, and wave physics) with a few modules of astronomy. During my master’s year, I had the incredible opportunity to conduct research at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where I studied the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies and wrote my thesis on this topic. I graduated with first-class honours in Astrophysics. After university, I felt drawn to education and wanted to help students grasp the beauty of science, so I completed a year of school-centred initial teacher training. I now hold a PGCE with QTS as a qualified science teacher.

Hi, I'm Alice! I'm currently a university student, so I know first-hand how tricky it can be when you're struggling to grasp a topic. But I also know that with the right support, you can get there and I'd love to help you on that journey! I have two years of tutoring experience, working with a wide range of age groups and abilities. I’ve also supported SEND pupils and am always ready to adapt my teaching style to suit individual needs. I’m flexible, and always happy to explain things in different ways until it clicks so that you reach your full potential! I completed my A-Levels in 2024 at Greenhead College. I achieved 3A*s in Mathematics, English Literature, and History. I also got an A in AS Further Maths. Prior to this I did my GCSEs at Rastrick High School where I obtained the following grades: Mathematics (9), Further Maths (8), English Literature (9), English Language (8), Biology (9), Chemistry (9), Physics (8), Drama (8), Art (8).

I’m someone who really enjoys learning and helping others do the same. I’m patient, reliable, and always happy to explain things in a way that makes sense. I like creating a relaxed, no-pressure vibe where people feel comfortable asking questions. Whether it’s going over the basics or tackling trickier topics, I’m here to help and make things easier to understand. I successfully completed my A Levels with excellent grades, particularly in science subjects, which sparked my interest in healthcare. I am currently a first-year dental student, pursuing my studies with a strong foundation in academic excellence and a passion for oral health and patient care.

Hello! My name is Imo, and I’m a dedicated online Science and Mathematics tutor with a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy. I am passionate about helping students understand challenging topics, gain confidence in their abilities, and achieve their academic goals. Science and maths can sometimes feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance and support, every student can succeed. My goal is to make learning clear, engaging, and enjoyable, while helping students develop strong problem-solving skills. 📚 Subjects & Levels I Teach Lower Level: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, 11+ Preparation. GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Mathematics. IGCSE: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics. A-Level: Biology Scottish Curriculum: • National 1–4: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics • National 5: Chemistry and Biology 🎓 Experience with Major Exam Boards: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, SQA. ✨ My Teaching Style: My lessons are interactive, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on: • Breaking complex topics into simple, easy-to-understand steps. • Using charts, diagrams, and visual explanations. • Encouraging students to ask questions and think critically. • Building confidence alongside academic ability. What students gain from my lessons are confidence in science and maths; develop strong exam techniques; improve their understanding of difficult concepts; build independent learning skills. My aim is not just to help students pass exams, but to help them truly understand the subject and enjoy learning. I hold a First school leaving, an A-level certificate and a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy( B.Pharm ). In addition, I have earned a TEFL/TESOL certificate and a digital marketing and e-commerce certificate through an online course. Currently, I am further enhancing my skills by undertaking a Data Analyst course, which helps strengthen my problem-solving and logical teaching methods.
