Shane M.

I am a recent graduate of Biochemistry from the University of York where I got a 2:1. I have 3 A* A Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I have experience of tutoring students doing GCSEs and A Levels and I strongly believe in the importance of understanding concepts completely so that they can be applied instead of rote memorisation. I have a strong passion for the sciences and maths and believe in their importance for understanding and moving through the world as well as becoming resilient to misinformation and misunderstanding. I attended St George's school where I got 10 GCSEs including 9s in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English Language and an 8 in Maths. I then earned 3 A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I then attended the University of York studying Biochemistry where I attained a 2:1.

Hi! I'm Izy, and I recently completed my degree in Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick - BA Language, Culture and Communication. I previously tutored younger children at my high school, and have since taught ESL in Peru, Ecuador and Mexico. I thoroughly enjoy both teaching English as a second language, and tutoring English subjects in the UK. I completed A-Levels in History, English Language and Maths (A*A*A), and am hoping to work as a paediatric Speech and Language therapist, after completing my Masters. I am competent in AQA Exam Boards. At University I competed at an international level for music, and really enjoy reading and learning new languages in my free time! I am currently obtaining my 120-hour TEFL certificate, as well as my Level 2 Understanding Autism qualification. I attended a state school, receiving eight grade 9s, and two grade 8s at GCSE, and A*A*A at A-Level (History, English Language, Maths). I recently graduated from the University of Warwick with a 1st Class BA Hons in Language, Culture and Communication (Applied Linguistics), completing a dissertation in phonetics & phonology.

👋 Hi, I'm Siya! I specialize in Mathematics (KS1 to KS5, GCSE, Precalculus, Calculus , Linear algebra, etc.), English (ESL) CONVERSATIONAL or for school, 11+ Prep and CS, I make online lessons highly visual, interactive, and tailored to your child's pace. 🎨 My Teaching Style No two students learn the same way. I focus on high-engagement, step-by-step problem-solving. My classroom is a patient, supportive space where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning process. Together, we will map out equations, analyze texts, practice 11+ verbal/non-verbal reasoning, and write code in real-time. 🌟 Supporting Diverse Learners I have dedicated experience tutoring students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, and school anxiety. I provide a structured, calm, and encouraging environment where your child can build genuine academic confidence. 💡 What We Can Achieve Together 11+ Exam Mastery: Sharpening speed, accuracy, and confidence in numerical and logical reasoning. Confidence in Key Subjects: Mastering Math, Further Math, English (ESL) and Computer Science. Exam Readiness: Breaking down tricky GCSE, iGCSE, and A-Level questions. I am currently pursuing a double major Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science through the University of South Africa (UNISA). This academic track provides me with a deep, rigorous foundation in analytical problem-solving, advanced algebraic structures, calculus, computational logic, and software development methodologies. My coursework heavily emphasizes the intersection of technical computing and data analysis, which allows me to approach math and technology with a clear, structured framework. In addition to my current STEM degree, I hold a National Certificate in Public Management. This qualification enhanced my professional communication, strategic planning, and organizational skills, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical logic and effective interpersonal engagement.

I am a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor with over 1,000 hours of tutoring experience, supporting students across a wide range of ages and abilities. I specialise in Maths and the Sciences, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and have experience teaching across different exam boards. I focus on breaking difficult concepts down into simple, manageable steps and adapting my teaching style to suit each individual student. My lessons are interactive and supportive, with a strong focus on building confidence, improving exam technique and helping students understand the reasoning behind their answers. I aim to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and developing their skills. I am currently studying Biomedical Sciences at Brunel University London, where my degree has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of biology, chemistry and the wider biomedical sciences. Before university, I studied Maths, Physics and Chemistry at A-Level at King’s College Taunton, giving me a strong academic foundation across both mathematics and the sciences. Alongside my own education, I have gained over 1,000 hours of tutoring experience, working with students across a wide range of ages, abilities and academic levels. I have taught Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, supporting students from KS2 and KS3 through to GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level. I have also worked with students preparing for the 11+ and have experience adapting lessons for students who require additional support or a different approach to learning. I have taught students following several major UK examination boards, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas. This has given me a good understanding of the differences between specifications, assessment styles and mark schemes. I place particular emphasis on exam technique, applying knowledge to unfamiliar questions and helping students understand exactly what examiners are looking for. My tutoring approach is centred around making challenging concepts easier to understand. I break topics down into manageable steps, regularly check understanding and use practice questions to identify and address gaps in knowledge. I adapt my teaching to the individual student rather than using the same approach for everyone, whether they are aiming to secure the fundamentals, improve their confidence or work towards the highest grades. In addition to tutoring, I have experience working with young people as a Summer Sports Camp Coach at King’s College Taunton. This strengthened my communication, leadership and motivational skills and taught me how to keep young people engaged while maintaining a positive and supportive environment. Together, my academic background and extensive tutoring experience have given me the skills to support students effectively and help them make meaningful academic progress.
