Tom R.

Hello there! Hope you are well. My name is Joshua Hailey and my pronouns are he/him. I have been an online tutor for over three years, and I hope this 'About Me' section gives you an insight into who I am and my teaching style. Before I go into more detail about who I am, I would urge you to read the testimonials, (at the bottom of this section), from some of my current parents whose children I am teaching! These statements can help you make an informed decision and, (hopefully), choose me as your child's next tutor. I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. In September 2024 I am undertaking a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. With over three years tutoring experience, a strong work ethic and excellent time management skills, I have challenged and supported students across all educational stages, including primary school pupils right up to A Level students! I want your child to succeed and I truly believe they can do this! My lessons are varied, fun, but get the work done! Education is not 'one size fits all', and online tutoring is the perfect example of this. My sessions will see your child grow from strength to strength, as they learn new concepts and methods of success in their respective subject. You will not find me simply reading off a screen for the entire lesson, but you can expect interactivity to drive every single lesson that I will (hopefully) have with your child! In addition to English tuition, I also offer Primary Maths, 11+ and History. I have experience supporting students in all these subjects, and have completed them to a GCSE/A Level standard (for more information on this, please see my 'Academic Background' section). In summary, I promise to adopt a customised learning plan and positive ethos for your child across all sessions. As the parent, you deserve to feel included in your child's progress. I will endeavour to regularly update you through messages, comprehensive written reports and periodic phone calls should you want them! Here is a full list of the subjects I offer depending on the age of your child: Reception-Year 9: Maths (Primary age only), English Language, English Literature, SPaG, Reading, Comprehension, Literacy, History, 11+ (For 11+ I can only offer English and Verbal Reasoning so please keep this in mind.) GCSE: History, (Edexcel and AQA), English Language (including the Speaking and Listening component), English Literature (AQA, OCR or Edexcel), SPaG, Reading skills Exam Board Experience: AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Languages I speak: English SND Experience: Little to no real-life experience, but I have had mentoring from an SND tutor As mentioned at the start of this, here are some written testimonials from some parents of the students I teach. I hope this enables you to see how beneficial I can be for your child's education! Jaydon's, (a year 3 English student), parent says: 'Joshua is a wonderful tutor and has the ability to engage with children in a warm and nurturing way. He is excellent at engaging my somewhat headstrong son and has not only picked up on his strengths, but is encouraging him to build on them which is increasing his confidence. Joshua’s subject knowledge is second to none, but what makes him wonderful tutor has been his ability to get to know my son, understand his way of thinking and adapt a teaching style that brings out his best work. Homework, the reinforcement of topics learnt in session and the positive feedback has really helped to my son progress well in English. My son looks forward to his sessions with Joshua every week.' Archie's, (a recent GCSE student), parent says: 'We couldn’t have asked for a better tutor than Josh. My son was struggling with his GCSE English Literature and after just one session with Josh, he felt so much more confident with the subject. There was a lot to cover but Josh set out carefully planned revision sessions leading up to and during the exams that covered all the topics. So by the time the exams came my son felt able to tackle anything that came up. Josh is incredibly amiable and knowledgeable and put my son at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone who is looking for an excellent English tutor.' Kimiya's, (an 11+ Verbal Reasoning student), parent says: 'Kimiya has been having lessons with Josh for almost a year. She has improved significantly and is getting better day by day. Kimiya really enjoys the lessons with Josh and is always looking forward to their next lesson. Josh makes the lessons fun and makes sure that Kimiya has understood the subject before ending the lessons. We are very happy and lucky to have him tutoring Kimiya.' So... what are you waiting for!

Hi - I'm Maria! I have just finished my degree in Biochemistry and Genetics from the University of Sheffield and I love Science. I have a passion for sharing my knowledge, owning a YouTube channel in which I make A Level Biology revision videos. Aside from academics, my main passion is Muay Thai (Thai boxing) and I train up to 10 times per week!! I hope to fight professionally one day. My favourite artist is Green Day. I have just graduated from an MBiolSci degree in Biochemistry and Genetics from the University of Sheffield. I also have A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Spanish. I also run a YouTube channel called "A Level Biology Help" where I explain the content of the course followed by related exam-style questions.

I am a quiet and introspective person who values meaningful connections and thoughtful interactions. Although I may be shy at first, I know how and when to engage with people around me, and I enjoy learning from others’ experiences. I believe that every person I meet has something valuable to teach me, and that genuine communication is built on respect, empathy, and understanding. I always look forward to turning my plans into reality and believe that success is achieved through persistence and discipline. I strive for excellence in everything I do, whether it is in my personal growth, academic journey, or professional responsibilities. I have learned that progress does not always come quickly, but that small, consistent steps taken every day lead to lasting results. I trust the process and have faith that the effort I invest today will shape a better version of myself tomorrow. Challenges do not discourage me; instead, they motivate me to improve and to keep moving forward. I believe in hard work, resilience, and self-reflection as essential tools for personal and professional development. Ultimately, I want to be known as someone who remained true to their values, who worked diligently toward their goals, and who inspired others to do the same. My journey may be quiet and steady, but it is filled with purpose, determination, and a deep belief that small repeated efforts truly do pay off. I am a dedicated and passionate educator with a strong foundation in both technology and mathematics. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Limpopo, where I majored in Computer Science and Mathematics. To enhance my teaching capabilities, I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus. I am registered with the South African Council for Educators (SACE) and uphold the professional standards and ethical conduct expected within the teaching profession. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of education and technology in shaping young minds. I have served as an End User Computer Technician, where I gained valuable experience in ICT systems and user support. My teaching experience includes working as a Mathematics tutor for first-year students at the University of Limpopo, teaching Mathematics to Grades 8 and 9 learners, and currently teaching Mathematical Literacy to Grade 11 learners. I approach my work with commitment, patience, and a continuous desire for improvement. I strive to create a learning environment that fosters curiosity, problem-solving, and confidence among students. My goal is to inspire learners to embrace challenges and recognise the importance of small, consistent efforts in achieving success. In the coming academic year, I plan to pursue a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Computer Science to deepen my expertise and expand my impact in education.
