Preferred Student Age Group: GCSE About Me: Hi! I’m Lorien, and I’m currently studying at university after recently completing my A Levels. I now attend the University of Cambridge to study English Literature. I love both English and Maths, and studied both at A Level. In English, I enjoy reading into a text and finding deeper meanings to better understand the writer’s intentions and message. In Maths, I enjoy working through difficult questions, and using my problem solving skills to reach the answer. My hobbies include reading and writing, ice skating, and anything creative. I have worked with young people previously, volunteering as a Young Leader and, more recently, a Unit Helper in Girlguiding. I was also a reading ‘Super-tutor’ in my school’s reading programme, designed to help Year 7 students boost their confidence and skill in reading, meaning I would step in to cover for any tutors who were absent when they planned to meet with their assigned tutee, and I oversaw the running of the programme as a whole. I really enjoy seeing students develop and become more confident in their own abilities as tutoring progresses, and would love the opportunity to work with you and help you to achieve success in your studies! I attended a high school in the North East for my GCSEs, achieving Grade 9s in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Business, Design and Technology, French, and Geography, and Grade 8s in English Language and English Literature. I stayed at my high school to complete my A Levels in English Language, English Literature, and Maths, and achieved three Grade As. I now attend the University of Cambridge studying English Literature.

Hi, I’m Stephen, a medical student at the University of Nottingham with a strong interest in science and education. I achieved an A in A Level Chemistry and continue to develop and apply my scientific knowledge throughout my medical studies. Having been through GCSEs and A Levels myself, I understand that knowing the content is only part of doing well in Chemistry. Exam technique is just as important. Students can understand a topic well but still lose marks because they do not know what the question is asking for, how to structure their answer or which key words the mark scheme expects. I therefore place a strong focus on exam questions, mark schemes, identifying common mistakes and learning how to turn knowledge into marks. I also believe that Chemistry does not have to feel intimidating or boring. With clear explanations and the right approach, Chemistry can be fun and it is absolutely a subject you can do well in. I aim to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, getting things wrong and gradually building their confidence. My approach is patient and adaptable because every student learns differently. Alongside tutoring, I have experience mentoring university students, which has strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly and support people towards their goals. Outside of Medicine and studying, I am a big football fan and enjoy running. I recently completed a half marathon, so I understand the value of consistency, discipline and gradually improving over time. I try to bring the same mindset into tutoring. You do not need to understand everything immediately. With consistent practice and the right guidance, progress follows. My goal is to help students understand Chemistry, master their exam technique and become confident enough to work towards grades 7 to 9. I am currently studying Medicine at the University of Nottingham, where I have developed a strong scientific foundation across areas including Chemistry, Biology, physiology and human health. My degree has strengthened my analytical thinking, problem solving and communication skills, all of which I bring into my tutoring. Before starting Medicine, I completed A Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, achieving an A in Chemistry. Chemistry has always been one of my strongest subjects and remains an area I enjoy teaching. My current medical studies allow me to continue applying scientific concepts at university level, while my experience mentoring students has helped me develop a patient, clear and supportive approach to explaining difficult topics and improving exam technique.

Hi, I’m Scarlet Davis, an enthusiastic and dedicated math teacher who enjoys helping students discover the beauty of mathematics in engaging and meaningful ways. I strive to make learning math exciting through interactive activities, real-world applications, and problem-solving experiences that encourage curiosity and build confidence. Outside the classroom, I enjoy cross-stitching and journaling, which allow me to relax, reflect, and express my creativity while developing patience and attention to detail. I graduated with a degree in Mathematics Education from the University of Antique. With over 8 years of teaching experience in the Philippines and the USA, I have developed effective teaching strategies, classroom management skills, and engaging lessons that support diverse learners and help students build confidence in Mathematics.
