Plácido M.

I’m a first-year Business student at Nottingham and an International Baccalaureate graduate, offering friendly and reliable tutoring. I understand exam pressure and workload, and I help students build confidence, clear understanding, and strong study habits. Alongside academics, I’ve represented Scotland at U21 netball, so I bring discipline, motivation, and a positive attitude to every session. I studied at Wellington College, where I achieved strong GCSE results with grades 7–9 across my subjects and took on a demanding academic and co‑curricular workload. I then completed the International Baccalaureate, scoring 39 points, including high marks in my higher‑level subjects. I am now a first‑year Business student at the University of Nottingham, continuing to build a strong academic record while developing skills in quantitative analysis, microeconomics, and applied business strategy.

I am extremely passionate about Mathematics leading me to continue studying it to a higher level at university, alongside Economics. Having passed the 11+ and gotten into The Henrietta Barnett School, as well as having achieved a grade 9 at GCSE level, I have been in the shoes of all of my students. Therefore, I am able to understand the discipline required to achieve such outcomes and am willing to tailor my teaching style to benefit each individual. Some of my hobbies include cycling, swimming, reading and sudoku! I am currently in my first year of completing a BSc in Mathematics and Economics at the University of Nottingham. For secondary school and sixth form I attended The Henrietta Barnett School, where I achieved a grade 9 in GCSE Mathematics. I completed the 11+ in 2018, where I sat exams for CEM, CSSE and HBS, passing all of them.

With extensive experience teaching a wide range of subjects, I have developed interdisciplinary methods that make learning both enjoyable and relevant. By integrating geospatial sciences with English language instruction, I create lessons that demonstrate the real-world applications of what students are learning. My aim is to ignite curiosity and passion for the subject while equipping students with the skills to excel academically and beyond. Over the years, I have taught students from diverse age groups, from primary school to university, and from various cultural backgrounds and nationalities. This breadth of experience has allowed me to tailor my teaching approach to meet individual learning needs, ensuring that every student, regardless of their background, can succeed. Whether we are tackling complex geographical concepts or refining language skills, my goal is to make learning engaging and empowering for each student. - PhD in Earth Sciences, specializing in Cartography (Toponymy) and onomastics - Master's in Linguistics and Advanced English Studies, with a specialization in Education - Training in Technical Translation - Bachelor's in English Studies, specializing in Sociolinguistics - Bachelor's in Cartography, Geology, and Geoinformatics

GCSE Maths & Chemistry | UCL Graduate | English · Mandarin · Cantonese 80% of my students achieve grade 7 or above. If you're looking for results, you're in the right place. I'm a UCL graduate specialising exclusively in GCSE Maths and Chemistry — two subjects I know inside out, including every exam board trick and mark scheme trap students fall into. I also teach in Mandarin and Cantonese. If your child grasps concepts faster in their first language, that's never a problem here. Before tutoring full-time, I worked in a SEN school — so I genuinely know how to adapt to different learners. Not every student thinks the same way, and I don't teach the same way twice. Every lesson includes: A tailored approach based on your child's specific gaps Clear explanations — no jargon, no condescension A recap summary sent after each session Regular, honest progress updates for parents Whether your child is aiming to push from a 5 to a 7, or just needs to finally get the topic that's been confusing them all year — let's make it happen.
