My name is Aarzu and I've been teaching English and Primary level Maths for 3 years. Teaching is one of my biggest passions, along with writing and film. I believe in the importance of understanding the material, rather than simply learning it and my goal is provide you guidance to achieving that. I tailor classes according to the student's needs and guide them towards building their confidence. I keep my classes engaging, light and well-rounded to help students achieve advanced communication and other essential learning skills for academic and professional success. I am an international student from India, currently in my final year of a Bachelor's degree in English and Film Studies Joint Honours at the University of Leeds. I have studied Economics for 4 years and taught it for 2 years before joining university, along with Political Science and French. I am highly passionate about teaching, in addition to which I ran a special creative writing workshop for primary and secondary school children every week for 2 years, to enhance their storytelling abilities. I have also been working as a freelance writer for the past 3 years, having completed projects for multiple international companies.

I'm currently studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at the University of Leeds, building on my A-levels in Maths, Economics, and History. I’ve always had a passion for understanding how the world works—whether through economic systems, political structures, or philosophical thought. Outside of my academic life, I really enjoy teaching and helping others learn. I often spend time tutoring my 13-year-old brother and younger cousins, which has not only strengthened my communication skills but also deepened my own understanding of the subjects I love. I’m currently studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) at the University of Leeds, following my A-levels in Maths, Economics, and History at Nower Hill High School. My academic interests have always centered around understanding the systems that shape our society, and PPE has allowed me to explore that from multiple perspectives. Studying Economics and Maths has not only strengthened my analytical thinking for my PPE degree, but also enhanced my ability to break down complex ideas clearly when teaching others.

I, having acquired the CertTESOL certificate, possess a profound understanding of delivering the target language through context. Besides that, with a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering, I studied math and computer science until my 7th semester, thus gathering extensive knowledge in these areas. Having recently completed a postgraduate diploma course in teacher training in the Montessori method at INTESOL Worldwide, UK, and obtaining a certificate in teaching UK-based synthetic phonics, I specialize in creating engaging and exciting environments for teaching phonics and math. Through real-world applications, children can enjoy learning in a fun and interactive manner. Teaching Methodology: I favour the ESA (Engage, Study, Activate) method.

Finally, they engage in free practice activities related to the target language.

Hi, I’m John Audry, an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher! I have over two years of teaching under my belt, and I have always loved helping students explore the world of mathematics in engaging and innovative ways. My goal is to make learning mathematics easy and exciting for everyone through interactive activities and stimulating problem-solving sessions that spark curiosity and build confidence in my students. Also, I make sure to give real-world applications of the abstract theories in mathematics to make it feel more relatable. In my free time, I enjoy working and designing machines and engines, which has developed my attention to detail, and has helped me stay sharp, focused, and analytical. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, where I gained a robust foundation in mathematical theories, scientific concepts, and their real-world applications. My studies equipped me with the knowledge to provide you with excellent mathematics education, and the skills to work with other people with diverse backgrounds. I use these traits to create engaging lessons, address different learning styles, and cultivate a supportive learning environment that will give every student the opportunity to excel.
