About me: I am a dedicated and passionate science tutor with a strong background in biology, chemistry, and physics. I am committed to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment that encourages students' curiosity and scientific thinking. With a proven track record in adapting teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, I am adept at conveying complex scientific concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. My experience spans across various online platforms, where I have successfully conducted needs assessments and designed individualized tutoring services. I am also skilled in preparing and delivering engaging lessons, monitoring student performance, and adjusting teaching strategies for improved content delivery. My goal is to help students master material content, improve their study skills, and build confidence in their scientific abilities. University of Sunderland A-Levels GCSE TESOL TEFL I hold a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, a rigorous program that has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. My academic journey has been marked by intensive coursework in areas such as organic and inorganic chemistry, human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and biophysics. This strong foundation has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to effectively teach and simplify complex scientific concepts. My passion for science, coupled with my academic background, allows me to bring a unique perspective to tutoring, making learning an engaging and enriching experience for my students. In addition to my degree, I have also completed a 120-hour TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. This certification has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate complex scientific concepts in an accessible and understandable manner. It has also enabled me to adapt my teaching methods to cater to the diverse learning styles and needs of students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. With this blend of scientific knowledge and teaching expertise, I am well-prepared to guide students through their academic journey in the sciences.

Lower Level: Maths, Biology, Chemistry GCSE: Biology, Chemistry A-Level (IB): Biology, Chemistry Exam Board Experience: AQA, OCR, EDEXCEL Languages: Italian (fluent), English (fluent), French (Basic) SEND experience: During my time in sixth-form, I took the opportunity to tutor students struggling with learning difficulties. Here, I developed key skills which proved extremely useful for their progress e.g., altering my communication to their level of understanding while giving relatable and fun examples, ensuring that the students are actively engaged by asking continuous questions to assess their understanding, and each new lesson I conducted with each student was started with a quick recap of the previous lesson. I noticed that these small steps proved extremely useful in the long run for the child's academic progress. Preferred age group: GCSE (However I can also teach A-level and Primary School children) A bit about myself: I am charismatic and enthusiastic Barts and the London School of Medicine student, with a willingness to learn and grow in any field despite the challenges that may be presented. I consider myself well-rounded, excelling in both academics as well as sport e.g., Football (My favourite!) and have passion for social interaction. Through exposure to tough situations as well as reading books on the topics I have honed my emotional intelligence and communication skills which I have since applied to provide help in various avenues such as education. I've had leadership roles such as Headboy of the school and thus have developed strong rapports with students who look at me as a role-model as well as their parents, especially during information evenings where I had conversations on how "parents could best support their children". As a fluent English and Italian speaker, I've acted as a bridge and advocate for foreign students to make them feel integrated in the community. This has also proved useful when teaching students who's first language isn't English as my fluency in another language allowed my to better understand the students I've worked with. I am a published author who is passionate about writing short stories as means of expressing issues that many children are faced with. One such issue is bullying and I have published a book titled Scars the Bullies and The Bullied which aims to inspire readers to take action against bullying. I will work alongside my students, supporting them along each step of the way so that in the end, they can excel; not solely academically but also in life.

Lower Level: Maths, SATs GCSE: Maths and 11+ Maths Exam Board Experience: AQA, Edexcel, Cambridge iGCSE and WJEC Languages: English fluently Preferred student age group: GCSE/Primary About me: I am a reliable and determined individual who can multi-task and work well under pressure. One of my main hobbies is Taekwondo, in which I have achieved titles of National, European and World Champion and my 4th Dan BlackBelt. I enjoy helping others and have had experience doing so in a 4 week volunteer trip to Tanzania in 2019 where I experienced different cultures and helped conserve wildlife and build a school for the local children. This was an eye-opening worthwhile experience that I will always remember and I appreciated helping others. I am also a Grade 6 in piano which has helped my confidence and determination to improve in the 10 years I have been playing.

Subjects taught: Psychology Educations levels taught: GCSE/Scottish Nationals, A-Level/Scottish Highers, UG Psychology My Teaching Style: I'm a tutor because I love helping people to learn and succeed, and this is reflected in my approach to tutoring. I adapt lesson style and content to your needs. We can go through specific subject areas, study skills and exam skills as required. I can vary how the material is delivered according to the situation and what works for you. I will teach and do lecture notes where appropriate, or take a more "coaching" style if that suits you and the situation better. We can even do more seminar/discussion style lessons as you become more comfortable with the material. At the heart of all of the above is making sure that we are working together so that you can achieve your goals. I know that you are probably already having lessons in school or at home, and my goal will be to complement those existing lessons rather than replacing them so that you can get the best value out of our time together. Specialisms: I am able to cover all aspects of the curriculum but I am particularly focused on skills. Psychology is a little different to other subjects covered at A-Level - not only do students have to learn a lot of information and produce it under exam conditions, but there is also a need to analyze and evaluate what has been learned so that they can write clearly, concisely and insightfully about that information. As well as teaching the syllabus content, I can help improve a student's thinking and writing skills so that they can go into exams with more confidence. I have also developed my coaching skills so work with students to help them improve their own problem-solving capabilities so that they can identify how they can study more effectively. A bit about me: I'm a PhD-qualified tutor who, over the course of my career, spent time working as a researcher, consultant and analyst across different industries. In all of those other roles, the part I enjoyed most was training, teaching and coaching people, so I am working towards making that my full-time career. Working in industry has taught me the importance of always turning up prepared and ready to work, using clear, prompt and honest communication and making sure that whoever I am working with knows that I am working in their best interests. The same will apply when we work together. In my spare time I love to play football and follow a lot of sport. I am learning to play guitar (very slowly) and enjoy listening to music, going to gigs when the opportunity arises. I love learning and am always doing some course or another - I'm currently studying to teach English as a foreign language and working towards accredited coach status. PhD Psychology - University of Leeds MSc Occupational Psychology - University of Sheffield BSc Psychology - University of Sheffield A-Levels - Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Sociology (all A grade) Teaching Experience: Delivered MSc lectures on Psychology Research methods Lead seminars, labs and one-to-one sessions with Undergraduate Psychology students on a variety of topics within Psychology I have worked in a number of roles as an Improvement Consultant, Client Services Analyst and Academic Researcher. A common thread in all those roles was coaching and teaching colleagues and communicating complex information to a range of people who did not necessarily share the same background.
