I teach various subjects such as History, Biology, Human Biology, and English. I am extremely experienced in helping students build up their confidence and capability for their exams. I have personal experience with the SQA exam board but I have equal capability in teaching my subjects to other exam board standards and to students of any age and level. Outwith tutoring, I enjoy spending my time reading books, walking my two dogs and playing video games on my Xbox.

Hi there. James here, from South Africa. I taught in London in Walthamstow for my probationary year in 1991, and then in Johannesburg and Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa for a total of 21 years. I have taught Cambridge A Level History and England and South Africa's English and History curricula. I am also a published researcher, poet, and author. I enjoy cross-country running. I like NETFLIX mystery series. I regularly get out wilderness walking and cross country swimming. Since February 2025, I tutor English and Religious Studies for GoStudent. I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B. Ed (1996) degree, at Wits University in Johannesburg. I did a Masters Degree in Theology (Regent College, Vancouver, B.C., 2001) and a PhD in Church History (University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2016). I believe education is a lifelong journey. We master English every day for the rest of our lives. So I'm still learning as I tutor GCSE students, A Level students, and juniors, to reach their highest goals.

Harshini M.
Hello! I’m Harshini Mahesh Kumar, a dedicated STEM educator passionate about helping students build confidence, achieve academic success, and develop a genuine love for learning. With extensive experience teaching and tutoring Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology across GCSE and A-Level, I create personalised lessons tailored to each student’s learning style, strengths, and academic goals. Whether a student is aiming to improve their grades, prepare for examinations, or strengthen their understanding of core concepts, I provide structured guidance and continuous support every step of the way. I specialise in explaining complex concepts in a clear, engaging, and practical manner, helping students develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills while building a deeper understanding of STEM subjects. I believe every student has the ability to succeed when they are supported, challenged, and encouraged in the right way. My lessons are interactive, positive, and designed to build both knowledge and confidence, creating an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, think independently, and achieve their full potential. If you’re looking for a patient, enthusiastic, and committed tutor who is passionate about helping students excel in STEM subjects, I’d be delighted to support your learning journey. I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Molecular Biotechnology from the University of Hertfordshire, where I developed advanced knowledge in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, protein science, and bioinformatics. My studies provided extensive practical experience in laboratory techniques, research methodologies, recombinant DNA technology, next-generation sequencing, and genomics, equipping me with strong analytical and scientific research skills. I previously completed a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in Biotechnology. This programme established a solid foundation in biotechnology, microbiology, molecular biology, and laboratory practices while strengthening my problem-solving, critical thinking, and scientific communication abilities through research projects and practical laboratory work. Alongside my academic qualifications, I have gained valuable experience supporting scientific research and delivering high-quality STEM education. These opportunities have enabled me to apply my scientific knowledge in both research and teaching, further developing my analytical, organisational, and communication skills. My educational journey has equipped me with a strong scientific foundation, a commitment to continuous learning, and a passion for making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging for students.
