I'm a final-year Education and English student who's passionate about literature, creative writing and inclusive education. An, aspiring secondary English teacher, lifelong learner and advocate for helping every student find their voice and reach their potential. I have a strong academic background, including a Master’s degree, a Bachelor of Science and my current BA Education and English degree. Alongside my studies, I have completed a placement in further education and currently volunteer in a secondary school’s English department, gaining valuable experience of teaching and learning across different educational settings.

Hi, I'm Neha, a medical student at King's College London with a strong academic background in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics and I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. My tutoring style is patient, supportive and structured. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps, helping students understand the logic behind what they are learning rather than relying on memorisation. Whether a student is aiming for top grades or looking to improve their confidence, I strive to create a positive learning environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and developing their understanding. I achieved A* grades in Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics at A Level, and Grade 9s in all 10 GCSE subjects, including Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, and Computer Science. My academic achievements include Bronze awards in both the UK Biology Olympiad and UK Chemistry Olympiad (2024), Gold awards in the UKMT Mathematics Challenge (2019–2021) and a High Merit in Grade 6 LAMDA Public Speaking (2024). I was also the winner of the Behavioural Sciences category at my school Science Fair. Through my studies, I have developed strong subject knowledge, analytical thinking, and excellent communication skills. My specialisms are Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and medicine application mentoring, and I am passionate about helping students build confidence, deepen their understanding, and achieve their academic goals.

My name is Mark Sean A. Manubag, and I hold a degree in Chemistry. For the past two years, I’ve been teaching and tutoring high school and college students, mainly in math, chemistry, and physics. I love making complex topics feel simple and approachable for learners at different levels. As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and goal-oriented. I believe in guiding students step by step until they feel confident in themselves. One of my strengths is breaking down difficult concepts into clear, relatable ideas. Seeing students progress—from struggling on quizzes to celebrating their own achievements—is what inspires me to teach. My teaching style is interactive and student-centered. I enjoy connecting lessons to real-life examples, whether through cooking, music, or everyday situations, so that learning feels both meaningful and fun. I’ve found that when students can relate to a topic, they learn faster and remember it longer. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading, exploring different genres of music, and learning languages. At the moment, I’m studying Italian, which helps me stay in touch with the challenges of being a learner myself. That perspective allows me to connect more deeply with my students and encourage them to see learning as a lifelong skill. Teaching, for me, is about helping students discover their own potential. I want my learners to not only improve their grades but also develop the confidence and curiosity that will benefit them well beyond the classroom. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. During my studies, I gained extensive training in laboratory instrumentation, including GCMS, FTIR, AAS, and UV-Vis, and completed internships with the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines, the Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and the Philippine–Japan Active Carbon Corporation. My undergraduate thesis focused on the spectrophotometric determination of phenolics from plant extracts, which strengthened my background in analytical chemistry. After graduation, I successfully passed the Philippine Licensure Examination for Chemists in September 2014. Alongside my academic journey, I began working as a freelance tutor between 2012 and 2014, supporting high school and college students in mathematics, chemistry, and other sciences. Many of the students I taught came from institutions with advanced science and math programs, while others needed help building foundational understanding. Through one-on-one lessons, I developed a teaching approach that emphasized patience, step-by-step guidance, and real-life applications, helping students not only grasp concepts but also build confidence in their own abilities. This tutoring experience deepened my passion for education and showed me the impact of making complex topics simple and engaging. I take pride in seeing students’ progress—from struggling on exams to achieving strong results. Teaching continues to be a meaningful part of my career, complementing my professional work as a chemist by allowing me to share knowledge and inspire curiosity in the sciences.

MATHS (Primary, GCSE, SQA National 5 & SQA Higher) I have extensive experience in tutoring Mathematics to students of all ages, from primary school education to SQA Higher/AS Level, and can adjust my tutoring approach according to each child's strengths and weaknesses in Mathematics with high efficiency. 11+ EXAMINATIONS (Private schools, CEM & GL) I have amassed over 3 years of experience in tutoring students for their 11+ examinations, and have successfully enabled all of my students to gain admission into their competitive schools of choice. ENGLISH (Primary, SQA National 5, SQA Higher) I have extensive experience in tutoring students of all ages in English, from phonics at primary school level to essay writing at GCSE/SQA Higher level. SCIENCES (Primary, SQA National 5, SQA Higher) My background in programming and in Mathematics have enabled me to develop a unique perspective all of the subject matter that I teach. Through this, I have become a very versatile tutor, and also specialise in tutoring sciences like Chemistry, Biology and Computer Science for students of all ages. ABOUT ME I am a passionate, ambitious student who is studying for an undergraduate degree in Computer Science at the University of St Andrews. I have been tutoring children for 5 years, and always operate based on the belief that each of my students has the potential to succeed, given the right guidance and support. QUALIFICATIONS I achieved 8 A band 1 (85%+) grades at SQA National 5 level in the subjects of Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Spanish and Drama in 2021. I then achieved 5 A band 1 (85%+) grades at SQA Higher level in the subjects of Computer Science, Mathematics, Human Biology, Chemistry and English in 2022. Finally, I achieved 3 A band 1 (85%+) grades at SQA Advanced Higher level in 2023, in the subjects of Computer Science, Mathematics and Biology. I am currently on track for a first class degree in BSc (Honours) Computer Science at the University of St Andrews.
