Hi! I’m Teacher Tracy from Johannesburg, South Africa 😊 I am passionate about teaching English and helping students gain confidence in their language skills. I create lessons that are interactive and enjoyable, making sure students feel confident and motivated every step of the way ✨. I use visuals, roleplay, and a variety of creative methods to make learning engaging and effective 🎨🗣️. I have experience teaching students of all ages, from as young as 4 years old to adults, so I am happy to work with learners at any level 👶👦👧🧑👩. I love studying, reading, and languages, and I bring this enthusiasm into every lesson to inspire a love of learning in my students 📚🌍. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exercising, traveling, and socializing 🏃‍♀️✈️💃. A fun fact about me is that I’ve always been drawn to the creative world — I even wanted to be a model when I was younger 💫👗. In my class, mistakes are welcome, progress is celebrated, and every lesson brings you closer to success. I look forward to meeting you in class 🌍✨ I hold two 120-hour TEFL certificates 📜✏️, which have equipped me with the skills and methodology to teach English effectively to learners of all ages 🌍🗣️. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Communication Science from the University of South Africa (UNISA) 🎓🇿🇦 and a Higher Certificate in Economic and Management Sciences 💼📊, achieving 20 distinctions out of 30 modules 🏅, reflecting my strong academic dedication. I am passionate about academics and lifelong learning 📚✨, which is why I will be pursuing a Masters degree iin 2026🎓💡. I continuously work on advancing my skills to provide high-quality, engaging lessons for my students 🎯📝. I have 2 years of tutoring experience, having taught students of various ages 👶👦👧, which has helped me develop adaptable teaching methods and a deep understanding of individual learning needs 💡💖

About Me: Relatable & Expert GCSE Maths Tutor with a Double Master’s Background Hello! My name is Daphne Zhang, and I am a dedicated educator here to help you conquer GCSE Mathematics. My academic foundation is built on two Master’s degrees from prestigious Russell Group universities: an MA in TESOL from the University of Sheffield and an MA in Education from the University of York. However, my most valuable asset as a tutor isn't just my degrees—it’s my empathy. To be honest, I wasn't always a "Maths genius" as a child. I personally experienced the frustration, confusion, and "Maths anxiety" that many students feel today. Because I had to work hard to overcome my own struggles with the subject, I truly understand the mental hurdles you might be facing. This personal journey, combined with years of professional teaching experience, allows me to teach GCSE Mathematics (AQA, Edexcel, and OCR) with a unique perspective. I specialize in turning that "I can't do this" attitude into "I understand this now." My TESOL background further helps me deconstruct complex mathematical terminology into simple, everyday language, making even the most intimidating word problems feel manageable. What we will achieve together: • Build Real Confidence: We create a safe space where no question is "silly." I’ve been in your shoes, so I know exactly how to rebuild your self-belief. • Step-by-Step Clarity: I break down Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics into logical chunks that actually make sense. • Exam Success: By mastering exam techniques and past papers, we will work toward jumping 2–3 grade boundaries. I am not just here to help you pass an exam; I am here to show you that with the right support, anyone can master Mathematics. Let’s start this journey together! My Educational Journey & Professional Foundation My academic and professional foundation in the UK began at the University of York, where I earned my first MA in Education. Studying at one of the UK’s leading centers for pedagogical research provided me with a deep understanding of learning psychology and curriculum design. It was during my time at York that I officially began my career in mathematics instruction. I worked extensively as a GCSE Mathematics tutor, delivering both online and face-to-face sessions to local students. This hands-on experience was very helpful and meaningfull; it allowed me to apply educational theories directly to the classroom, helping students navigate the complexities of the AQA and Edexcel syllabi while building their confidence from the ground up. Following my success at York, I moved on to the University of Sheffield to pursue a second MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). While this might seem like a shift in focus, it was actually a strategic move to enhance my math teaching. At Sheffield, I specialized in applied linguistics and communicative strategies. This advanced training gave me the unique ability to "decode" the language of mathematics. I realized that many students struggle with GCSE Maths not because of the numbers, but because of the complex wording of the questions. My expertise from Sheffield allows me to bridge this linguistic gap, making abstract mathematical concepts accessible and clear for every learner. By combining the pedagogical mastery from York with the linguistic precision from Sheffield, I offer a sophisticated, dual-lens approach to tutoring. My background ensures that I don't just "show" students how to solve equations; I use evidence-based teaching methods to ensure they truly internalize the logic, leading to long-term academic success.

I have been tutoring with GoStudent for almost a year now, having formerly worked at museums, churches and summer camps. I enjoy working with children and am a current Sunday-School teacher and former volunteer with several youth charities. I also have two years of classroom experience with Years 2 and 3, but am happy to work with children of any age, teaching English, Maths, History, Latin, and RE. Please note I do not take adult learners at this time. I am a graduate of the University of Cambridge with a first-class degree in History, also having taken papers in Classics and Theology. I won several prizes during my degree, including three prize scholarships and the Roy Porter Prize for History in my second year. Prior to my degree, I took three A-Levels in History, Maths and English, receiving all A*s, and prior to that, ten GCSEs, receiving all 9s.
