I am very enthusiastic about Maths and the Sciences. Having just finished my A Levels studying Biology, Physics, and Mathematics at A Level; I understand the challenges students face when learning these subjects and enjoy helping others build confidence and improve their understanding. I aim to make learning engaging and accessible for every student. I recently completed my A Levels at Queen Anne's School, Reading, where I studied Biology, Physics, and Mathematics. I've had a strong interest in science, sport and problem-solving since I started secondary school, which has inspired me to pursue a degree in Sports and Exercise Science at university. Prior to that, I completed my GCSEs at King's Academy Prospect, Reading, achieving good results across all subjects, including Maths and the Sciences. During school, I enjoyed helping classmates with revision, which sparked my interest in tutoring. My recent experience with the current curriculum gives me insight into how students can succeed both academically and confidently

I am a First-Class Computer Systems Engineering graduate. Mathematics and Computing have been central to both my academic journey and professional experience. With 11 years of teaching and tutoring experience across GCSE and A-Level, I have developed a strong understanding of the UK curriculum and the common challenges students face. I enjoy helping students move from confusion to clarity by breaking complex topics into structured, logical steps. Beyond improving grades, my goal is to help students build confidence and develop deep, sustained understanding. I believe Mathematics and Computing should feel logical and empowering — not intimidating. I completed my BSc in Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Westminster, graduating with First-Class Honours. My degree gave me a strong foundation in programming (Python, C++, C, VHDL and Assembly), embedded systems, microcontrollers, hardware design and robotics. During my studies, I led and contributed to several technical projects, including designing FIR filters using VHDL, programming PIC and MBED microcontrollers, and developing software systems in C++ and Python. I was also recognised with academic excellence awards for my performance. Prior to university, I completed my A-Level certification at Ahmadu Bello University, studying Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, and earlier obtained my secondary school leaving certificate at Livingstone College . Alongside my academic background, I have over 11 years of experience teaching and tutoring GCSE and A-Level Mathematics, as well as several years teaching Computing. I have worked in UK secondary schools as a Teaching Assistant supporting STEM subjects and SEN students, and as an online tutor delivering structured, results-driven lessons. My specialisation lies in Mathematics and Computer Science, particularly breaking complex, abstract ideas into logical, manageable steps that build deep and lasting understanding.

I’m Kyle Aron Tan, and I’m excited to support you on your English learning journey. I’m a certified TEFL holder with over two years of experience teaching learners from diverse backgrounds and proficiency levels. In our sessions, I focus on helping you communicate clearly and confidently. I specialize in building speaking confidence, improving pronunciation, and guiding you to express your ideas in a structured and logical way. My background in debate and public speaking also helps me teach you how to organize your thoughts and communicate with clarity. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, going to the gym, and engaging in debate. Reading helps me continuously learn new ideas and perspectives that I can bring into my lessons. Fitness keeps me disciplined and energized, which allows me to stay focused and positive during classes. I also enjoy writing, public speaking, and debate because they help me reflect, organize my thoughts better, and become a more effective communicator and instructor. Our lessons will be tailored to your goals, pace, and learning style. Together, we’ll strengthen your fluency, build your confidence, and make steady, meaningful progress. I’m looking forward to meeting you in class and starting this journey together. See you soon! I am a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Legal Management program, which provided me with a strong foundation in law, governance, and business principles. My academic journey developed my competencies in legal research, critical analysis, policy review, and professional writing, equipping me to approach complex issues with both analytical and practical perspectives. Beyond the classroom, I actively engaged in student leadership, serving as a Student Regent and Student Council President, where I represented the student body in high-level discussions, contributed to policy-making, and helped implement initiatives that supported academic and student welfare. These roles strengthened my skills in leadership, communication, and decision-making, while reinforcing my commitment to ethical governance and collaborative work. In addition, I am a national debater and a debate trainer for national-level competitors, experiences that have further refined my abilities in argumentation, strategic thinking, public speaking, and evidence-based advocacy. My educational background, combined with hands-on leadership and competitive debating experience, has prepared me to contribute effectively in professional environments that require legal knowledge, organizational management, and strong interpersonal skills.
