I am an experienced educator with over fifteen years in teaching and mentoring, now specialising in English, Psychology, and Sociology up to A-level. My academic background includes a BA in Sociology, a diploma in Counselling, ACCHP accreditation, and I am currently completing a Master’s in Psychology at the University of Portsmouth. This academic journey, combined with my teaching experience, allows me to provide learners with both subject expertise and practical strategies to achieve success. In English, I focus on building strong foundations in reading, writing, and critical analysis, helping learners gain the confidence to express themselves clearly and effectively. My Sociology and Psychology teaching draws on my academic knowledge and real-world insights, making lessons engaging and relevant by connecting theory to contemporary issues and everyday life. I believe that every learner has unique strengths, and I adapt my teaching style to meet individual needs. My counselling background helps me create a supportive environment where learners feel comfortable to ask questions, take risks, and develop resilience. Organised, approachable, and enthusiastic, I encourage students not only to meet their academic goals but also to grow in confidence and independent thinking. Above all, I am committed to inspiring curiosity, developing critical skills, and empowering learners to reach their full potential in their chosen subjects. My academic background reflects both a strong commitment to education and a passion for understanding people, society, and the human mind. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Education from Griffith University, Australia, where I developed a foundation in social theory, educational practice, and the ways in which learning is shaped by cultural and societal factors. This degree gave me valuable insights into both the structures of society and the transformative power of education. Building on this, I undertook a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling, which allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of human behaviour, communication, and emotional wellbeing. This qualification provided practical tools for supporting individuals and groups, strengthening my ability to create learning environments that are empathetic, inclusive, and responsive to different needs. Currently, I am completing a Master’s in Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, with only the final stage remaining. This advanced study has deepened my knowledge of psychological theory, research, and application. It has also enhanced my analytical and critical thinking skills, and further developed my ability to connect theory with practice. Studying at postgraduate level has reinforced my commitment to lifelong learning and prepared me to bring a high level of academic and practical expertise into my teaching. Taken together, these qualifications demonstrate not only my academic achievement but also my dedication to education, psychology, and counselling—fields that all intersect in my work as an educator and tutor.

Hello! I am currently studying Theoretical Physics at the University of Bath. My main pastimes include hiking/camping, going to the gym, and running, so I do hope that I can relate to many of you! For me, tutoring is developing a clear understanding of subject knowledge instead of regurgitation of facts; learning should be to question and to think critically rather than to memorise. With me as a tutor, you can expect to gain a deep insight into your subject and acquire the ability to excel in your exams. I attended Swanmore College Of Technology where I studied 10 GCSE's achieving 5 9's in (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Enterprise and marketing and English literature)- 4 8's ( Maths, Computer science, English language and History) 1 7 ( Further maths). In my A- levels I achieved an A* in Maths, an A in Further Maths, an A in Physics and an A* in an extended project qualification for which I did extensive research in quantum mechanics and furthered my understanding of the double slit experiment exponentially (in both the quantum and classical realm). Currently I am a first year undergraduate at the University Of Bath studying Theoretical Physics.

Hi, my name is Aoife, I am 18 years old and currently a first year law student at the University of Leeds (and an aspiring human rights lawyer!). My special subject is English, primarily English literature. My highest academic achievements are my 3 A levels (A* in politics, A in history, B in English literature). I am willing to tutor the English subject to all ages, especially primary and secondary as I believe this is when that extra boost in confidence is so important! My passion for English is reflected in my GCSE grades too - achieving a grade 9 in English language and grade 8 in English literature. I have previous experience with children with SEN needs such as autism and ADHD, shaping my teaching style as one of patience and prioritising clarity without exerting pressure on a student. I personally struggled with confidence in both primary and secondary school, and going through tutoring myself helped with this enormously. My personal hobbies include reading and creating artwork in my free time. I look forward to helping you/your child with English and literacy skills! For secondary school I attended Carr Manor Community school, achieving GSCEs all grade 7 and above. I excelled in humanities subjects, with a grade 9 in both history and English language and a grade 8 in English literature. My academic passion carried on into my A levels which I completed at Notre Dame Catholic VI Form College. I achieved an A* in A level politics, A in A level history and a B in English literature. I have gone on to be accepted to study law at the University of Leeds, a Russell group university. I remain open to constantly improving my skills and developing new ones and therefore significantly look forward to tutoring new students, sharing my knowledge and developing my own. I specialise in English and literacy, hoping to develop the skills of younger students to provide that extra boost in confidence.

🌟 Speak Spanish from Day One with a Friendly Local Through a Natural Approach 🌍 | Experienced Tutor | All Levels Welcome, Whether in Casual or Professional Enviroments🎯 Hola! I'm Kurt from Chile, and I would love to be your friendly guide to mastering Spanish. Here is a little bit about me so you can know me better: I’m passionate about languages 📚, content creation 📝📹, and traveling ✈. I love to connect my interests with my teaching in a very friendly and safe way. This is why my goal as a tutor is to guide you in your Spanish journey and help you gain confidence, regardless of your current level. After some years of working with different students (and also being a language learner myself), here is what you can expect from my lessons 👇🏻 ✅ Friendly, Real-Life Learning: I’m convinced that using the "natural approach" and "comprehensible input" is the best way to learn a language. My lessons focus on real-life situations to help you communicate confidently in Spanish. ✅ Immersive Focus: I focus on full immersion in Spanish, and show you how to keep practicing on your own, no matter your level or background. ✅ Customized Learning Plans: We’ll create a personalized learning plan based on your interests or professional goals. I’ll always give you feedback to ensure you're progressing in a way that matters to you. ✅ Resource Variety: From flashcards to interactive tasks, I’ll provide the materials you need based on your objectives. ✅ Ongoing Support: Whether in or out of class, I’m always available to guide you, ensuring your success at every stage. ✅ Adaptable Learning: I adjust lessons to suit your mood and needs. Whether you’re feeling low on energy and we switch to a fun activity, or you need to focus on a specific task, I’ll tailor the lesson to keep it engaging and effective. ✅ Flexible Scheduling: If you need to reschedule, I’ll do my best to find a new time that works for both of us so that we can keep your progress on track. Imagine yourself speaking Spanish confidently—whether it’s during your travels ✈, with friends and family ❤, or in a business setting 💼. Don’t let age, background, or beginner’s nerves stop you! Spanish is for everyone, and you’re no exception 💫. *I'm currently only teaching students older than 18 years old* *I'm able to teach Spanish to all levels independently of the goals and background* *As an English teacher I only teach EFL students (students who are learning English as a language)* I studied at University, which led to two degrees: one as an English language specialist (grammar and phonology) and another as an English-Spanish Translator. I’m furthering my education daily to specialize in financial and mixology translation and become a better and more efficient Spanish tutor. In addition, I have an extra degree as a community manager which is not 100 % related to coaching. I specialise in teaching conversational Spanish
