Sonya B.

I am a dedicated, committed and experienced tutor who excels in helping GCSE students develop exam technique and content confidence to reach those top marks most other students miss. I utilise a range of learning techniques and resources not readily available elsewhere which helped me achieve grade 9 in eight of my subjects at GCSE, which I will work through and teach with you or your child. I am an expert in helping students cross grade boundaries and flourish and my patient, complete learning approach ensures they'll have the confidence to take on any question. I attended Queen Elizabeth's school in Barnet, the highest ranking boys grammar school currently. My education and the resources I had access to there allowed me to attain grade 9 in 8 subjects at GCSE, Grade 8 in the remaining two subjects, an A grade - which is the highest that can be attained - in all of my AS-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths, as well as receive a predicted Grade of A*, A*, A in Biology, Chemistry and Maths respectively at A-level. I am a current Imperial medicine offer holder, and can provide support for prospective medical applicants if they wish. Finally, I have had 2 years of experience tutoring younger students for their GCSE's and 11+ exams.

I'm Kurt from Chile, and I would love to be your friendly guide to mastering Spanish.

I love to connect my interests with my teaching in a very friendly and safe way. This is why my goal as a tutor is to guide you in your Spanish journey and help you gain confidence, regardless of your current level. After some years of working with different students (and also being a language learner myself), here is what you can expect from my lessons 👇🏻 ✅ Friendly, Real-Life Learning: I’m convinced that using the "natural approach" and "comprehensible input" is the best way to learn a language.

Spanish is for everyone, and you’re no exception 💫. *I'm currently only teaching students older than 18 years old* *I'm able to teach Spanish to all levels independently of the goals and background* *As an English teacher I only teach EFL students (students who are learning English as a language)* I studied at University, which led to two degrees: one as an English language specialist (grammar and phonology) and another as an English-Spanish Translator. I’m furthering my education daily to specialize in financial and mixology translation and become a better and more efficient Spanish tutor. In addition, I have an extra degree as a community manager which is not 100 % related to coaching. I specialise in teaching conversational Spanish

I've been a tutor three years now, helping dozens of students. If you are interested, I'd be happy to put you in contact with some of them so that you can chat about anything you're interested. I'll work with you in conversation, which'll brings us intellectually close to each other. This allows empathy to guide the learning process. One of the challenges I often face is answering an insightful question. If I'm not able to do it independently, I focus on relating to you through a simpler concept we are both familiar with. By breaking this concept down into smaller pieces and unveiling our own understanding of it, we enlighten ourselves. The thing I enjoy most about teaching is learning about you. I help with a tough concept or methodology by relating my presentation to how you reckon already known matters. This process will familiarize us with your subject's topics. This is the reason why we'll mostly avoid memorizing stuff. - Do you find lectures boring? If so, you'll find my lessons a perfect fit! Our lessons won't be old-school. Whether you're cutting your teeth with tuition or not, you'll be in conversation with me. As your tutor, I'll share thoughts back and forth and build our understanding of your subject's concepts and methods. - Do you find yourself in stupor at school? From our very first class, I'll lead you to explore and become your own coach, so that you can see results after the first two weeks. We don't need to learn by heart most of the things required to pass with flying colors. As your mentor, I pursue with fervor the breaking down of concepts and getting to the bottom of them. Once we achieve this, you won't have to revise said concepts ever again. - What if you find exams particularly tough? Isn't it annoying when you know the material but still can't get those marks? I offer exam preparation and methods to get those precious marks. We'll read the questions together and work on writing expression. See you soon in the classroom! ===== ** NOTE ** - taking only students that are interested in 3 lessons per week or more ===== - Subjects I teach: - Lower level: Writing, History, Physical Ed. - GCSE: Writing, Computer Science, Physical Ed. - AS-level: Writing, Math, Biology and Physics. - A-Level: Biology. - Languages: Spanish (native speaker) and English as a second language. I completed Secondary School in Life Sciences and hold a Vocational School Diploma in Biomedical Science. I took first-year University courses in Chemistry and Engineering. These included subjects like Physics, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, Calculus, etc. Lastly, I'm a self-taught personal trainer. Throughout this particular academic endeavour, I studied biomechanics and anatomy, with a solid knowledge of their application to weightlifting.

I'm a dedicated tutor with genuine enthusiasm for helping students excel in English, Maths, and Italian. Having completed my own GCSEs and A-Levels in England and currently studying at the University of Bristol, I understand the pressures students face and know how to make learning feel less overwhelming. My previous tutoring experience has taught me that every student learns differently, which is why I tailor each lesson to individual needs and learning styles. Whether you're struggling with algebra, need conversation practice in Italian, or want to improve your English grammar, I believe learning should be engaging and confidence-building rather than intimidating. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and celebrating progress. My goal is to help you not just understand the concepts, but to use your knowledge confidently in exams and real-world situations. I'm patient, encouraging, and always happy to explain concepts in different ways until they click I completed my GCSEs and A-Levels in England at St Benedict's School in Ealing with strong results, achieving A*AA in Spanish, Mathematics, and Economics at A-Level. This led to my acceptance at the University of Bristol where I am currently studying Spanish and Italian. My language studies have deepened my understanding of grammar structures and language acquisition. As Italian is my mother tongue - spoken at home and during regular visits to Italy - I have native-level fluency and cultural understanding that I can share with students. My strong mathematical foundation, combined with a natural ability to explain complex concepts clearly, allows me to help students build confidence in problem-solving. I've always enjoyed breaking down challenging topics into manageable steps, making them accessible and understandable. Additionally, I hold a 120-hour advanced TEFL certification, which has equipped me with specialized teaching techniques for language instruction.
