Hi! I’m a Geography student at the University of Birmingham with a genuine passion for helping students unlock their full potential. Although I was initially predicted CCD at A-level, I achieved AAB on results day — something I’m incredibly proud of. This experience has shaped the way I tutor. I understand what it feels like to doubt your ability, and more importantly, I know what it takes to turn things around. My goal is to help my students achieve the same transformation, or even better! I have over a year of tutoring experience, and I genuinely find it one of the most rewarding things I do. Seeing students grow in confidence, understand topics they once found difficult and improve their grades is why I love tutoring. Subjects & Exam Boards Geography GCSE: SQA, AQA, Edexcel A-Level: AQA, Edexcel, OCR Sociology GCSE: AQA A-Level: AQA English Language & Literature GCSE: AQA (texts may vary) GCSE Literature Texts: * Macbeth * Romeo and Juliet * An Inspector Calls * Blood Brothers * A Christmas Carol * Power and Conflict Anthology * Worlds and Lives Anthology * Of Mice and Men A-Level English Literature: AQA (texts may vary) Texts: * Othello * Tess of the d'Urbervilles * The Kite Runner * A Thousand Splendid Suns * William Blake Poetry * Little Women * The Handmaid's Tale * Death of a Salesman I am currently a final-year Geography student at the University of Birmingham, developing a strong academic foundation in both physical and human geography. My degree has strengthened my analytical thinking, essay writing, research and data interpretation skills, which I bring directly into my tutoring.

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'm Aarushi, a tutor for GCSE and A Level English. I received A*A*A on my A Levels in English, Spanish and History in 2026, scoring 99.9% in English, and am headed to LSE for Law next year. I love sharing my passion for English and helping others achieve their target grades, and am keen to help with analysis, essay writing and more! I attended The Tiffin Girls' School from 2019-2026, which is the 4th best selective grammar school in the UK. I received 10 GCSEs in 2024, achieving a mixture of 8s and 9s, and was awarded a certificate for the highest marks in GCSE Spanish in my school. In 2026, I received an A* in my English Literature A Level, scoring 99.9% on my exam, as well as an A* in Spanish and an A in History. I have tutored students both within school and outside for 11+ and GCSEs, including special needs students.
