Taha A.

Hello! My name is Mark and I’m a graduate from Northumbria University with a 1st class Physics BSc with honours. I like to focus my sessions on the areas of a subject that you struggle with the most, starting from the beginning and building a strong understanding that you can use in the classroom and your exams. My sessions are pupil-led, where I am there to provide guidance, direction, examples and support. I love physics, especially the topics of space and energy, and I think that a passionate teacher can make even the most difficult subjects more approachable. I have experience tutoring, helping local pupils with their physics over COVID lock-downs. I look forward to meeting you! I have graduated from Northumbria University Newcastle with a First Class Bachelors with Honours in Physics. I studied Physics (A), Computer Science (A) and English Literature (B) at Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School. I have 12 months experience tutoring GCSE physics both online and in person.

I’m Kyle Aron Tan, and I’m excited to support you on your English learning journey. I’m a certified TEFL holder with over two years of experience teaching learners from diverse backgrounds and proficiency levels. In our sessions, I focus on helping you communicate clearly and confidently. I specialize in building speaking confidence, improving pronunciation, and guiding you to express your ideas in a structured and logical way. My background in debate and public speaking also helps me teach you how to organize your thoughts and communicate with clarity. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, going to the gym, and engaging in debate. Reading helps me continuously learn new ideas and perspectives that I can bring into my lessons. Fitness keeps me disciplined and energized, which allows me to stay focused and positive during classes. I also enjoy writing, public speaking, and debate because they help me reflect, organize my thoughts better, and become a more effective communicator and instructor. Our lessons will be tailored to your goals, pace, and learning style. Together, we’ll strengthen your fluency, build your confidence, and make steady, meaningful progress. I’m looking forward to meeting you in class and starting this journey together. See you soon! I am a graduate of the Bachelor of Science in Legal Management program, which provided me with a strong foundation in law, governance, and business principles. My academic journey developed my competencies in legal research, critical analysis, policy review, and professional writing, equipping me to approach complex issues with both analytical and practical perspectives. Beyond the classroom, I actively engaged in student leadership, serving as a Student Regent and Student Council President, where I represented the student body in high-level discussions, contributed to policy-making, and helped implement initiatives that supported academic and student welfare. These roles strengthened my skills in leadership, communication, and decision-making, while reinforcing my commitment to ethical governance and collaborative work. In addition, I am a national debater and a debate trainer for national-level competitors, experiences that have further refined my abilities in argumentation, strategic thinking, public speaking, and evidence-based advocacy. My educational background, combined with hands-on leadership and competitive debating experience, has prepared me to contribute effectively in professional environments that require legal knowledge, organizational management, and strong interpersonal skills.

--- About Me! --- I'm Danny, a 4th year physicist at the University of Edinburgh, currently undergoing a research year abroad working on a thesis at GSI/FAIR, a facility for high energy physics. My work involves a lot of programming, knowledge of physics, and application of engineering and design principles. I love inspiring others and talking about my subject, so any student who comes my way will hopefully leave feeling confident, ready for common exam questions, and most importantly, wanting to learn more beyond their curriculum. I play the violin to a diploma standard, love trying out new cooking recipes (sometimes with disastrous consequences), and really enjoy mountain sports, like climbing and hiking. --- My Education --- As mentioned above, I am a physicist at the University of Edinburgh on a year in industry at GSI. I am working on the upcoming DIRC particle detectors for the PANDA project and the EIC at Brookhaven (google these things, in my opinion they are very cool). This research of course involves knowing a bunch about programming, mathematics and physics! I achieved 4 A* grades at A-Level, in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Music, with the WJEC exam board. For these grades, I abused my poor printer, drilling past paper questions endlessly, so I am very familiar with this specific curriculum. However, mathematics and physics are very similar across all exam boards. There are common questions in every exam, and your child will become familiar and confident with these questions with me, ideally able to reproduce 'stock answers' with a high level of understanding and speed. This saves time in exams and guarantees easy marks; this is a major step in reducing exam anxiety, and one of the main strategies I used to achieve my marks. I taught a STEM program at a US summer camp. It was much more of a 'for fun' thing, so we focused on making classes lightweight and enjoyable, rather than drilling worksheets and past paper questions. As such, I won't exclusively bore tutees to death with math problems! I pride myself on being able to break down concepts into simple to understand analogies. I am also a huge advocate for using past questions as revision material. However, I recognise the importance for students to balance time spent on questions with going over textbook concepts.

Hi, I’m Maite! I’m a native German speaker and teach German at all levels — Primary, GCSE, and A-Level. Besides German and English, I also speak French and Spanish. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies with a minor in Educational Science, which deepened my understanding of cross-cultural learning, communication, and how to make complex ideas accessible. During my time at university, I spent over three years tutoring children of different ages, working in a programme led by the German federal government to support children from migrant and refugee backgrounds in their school learning. I am now excited to work with adults as well. When I think back to my own school years, the teachers who inspired me most were those whose honest passion made even my least favourite subjects enjoyable. That’s the atmosphere I aim to create in my lessons: engaging, light, and enjoyable. Outside tutoring, I teach meditation and mindfulness and support a charity creatively, which helps me bring patience, flexibility, and creativity into my teaching. I tailor lessons to each student — whether you need grammar support, speaking practice, exam preparation, or a personalised lesson to build confidence at your own pace, or simply want to learn German out of interest and enjoyment. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies and Educational Science, which I completed at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany. I specialised in cultural theory and visual culture and spent an Erasmus semester at Université Bordeaux Montaigne in France. In addition, I hold a Yoga Alliance–approved 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certificate, complemented by an additional 50 hours of training in meditation.
