Queen B.

I am 19 years old taking a year out before going to study economics at university. I studied maths, physics and economics at A-level and got A*AA. I was captain of my first XV rugby team and have put on workshops for younger students so leading and helping peers is in my nature. Having recently left school, A-levels are fresh in my memory. I understand how a student wants to learn and what they may be struggling on in the syllabus. I attended Bradford Grammar School, where I was awarded a means-tested bursary in the 11+. I have 11 GCSEs and 3 A-levels all of equivalent grade A and above. Physics at A-level, in particular, forced me to work hard and be a critical thinker. I enjoyed the challenge of applying knowledge.

Hi! I’m a second-year 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 exactly how 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 truly find it one of the most rewarding things I do. Seeing students grow in confidence and improve their grades is why I love teaching. Subjects & Exam Boards Geography GCSE: SQA, AQA, Edexcel A-Level: AQA, Edexcel Sociology GCSE: AQA A-Level: AQA English Language & Literature GCSE: AQA (texts may vary) A-Level English Literature: AQA (texts may vary) Education experiences: I am currently a second-year Geography student at the University of Birmingham, where I am developing a strong academic foundation in both physical and human geography. My degree has strengthened my analytical thinking, essay writing, research skills and ability to interpret complex data, all of which I integrate into my tutoring. At A-Level, I exceeded expectations by achieving AAB, despite being predicted significantly lower grades. This experience has shaped my academic mindset and my approach to tutoring. I understand the importance of effective revision strategies, exam technique, and building confidence alongside subject knowledge.

Hi, I’m Nushra Imtiyas — an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher of both Mathematics and English, with a genuine love for helping students grow in confidence and ability. I believe learning should never feel dull or overwhelming; instead, it should be engaging, meaningful, and even enjoyable. Whether we’re analysing a text in English or solving a challenging Maths problem, I aim to create lessons that spark curiosity and encourage students to think deeply and independently. I love transforming abstract ideas into something relatable and clear. In English, that might mean stepping into a character’s perspective, debating themes, or connecting literature to real-life experiences. In Maths, it could mean breaking down complex problems into manageable steps and linking concepts to everyday situations so they feel practical and relevant. My teaching style is interactive and student-centred. I encourage discussion, questioning, and active participation because I believe students learn best when they feel heard and involved. I use visuals, real-world examples, guided practice, and creative activities to ensure that every learner — regardless of their starting point — feels supported. Most importantly, I celebrate progress, no matter how small. Watching a student move from “I don’t understand” to “I’ve got this” is the most rewarding part of my work. Beyond teaching, I enjoy reading, playing netball, and jogging every morning. Staying active keeps me energised, focused, and positive — qualities I bring into every lesson. For me, teaching is not just about academics; it’s about inspiring resilience, building confidence, and helping students realise that they are capable of far more than they think. I graduated with a degree in Software Engineering, where I focused on English, Mathematics, and Information Technology. This combination gave me a strong balance of logical thinking and creativity, which I now bring into my teaching. Over the past six years, I’ve been teaching and tutoring students of different ages and abilities, and that experience has helped me grow not just as a teacher, but as a mentor too. My studies gave me a solid understanding of teaching methods, language, and literature, while also strengthening my problem-solving and communication skills. I learned how to plan lessons that are clear, engaging, and structured in a way that makes learning feel manageable rather than overwhelming. I also developed the ability to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs, whether a student learns best through visuals, discussion, practice, or step-by-step guidance. Most importantly, I always aim to create a warm and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and building confidence. For me, teaching is not just about delivering content it’s about helping every student feel capable and encouraged to reach their full potential.

I’m someone who is curious, motivated, and always eager to learn. I’m currently studying an undergraduate degree in Cybersecurity at university, and I really enjoy the challenge of exploring new ideas and developing practical skills that I can use in the real world. I like learning from constructive feedback because it keeps me motivated and helps me improve, both personally and academically. Outside of my studies, I have a range of interests that I’m passionate about. I enjoy reading, as it gives me a chance to explore new perspectives and ideas. I also like staying up to date with technology—I find it fascinating how quickly things change and how innovation affects our daily lives. I’m also someone who values keeping active, so I make time to go to the gym regularly. It helps me stay focused, disciplined, and energised. I like challenges and enjoy pushing myself out of my comfort zone. For example, in Sixth Form, I chose to study Business and Law without any prior experience. It was tough at first, but fully committing to it taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of perseverance. I’ve found that these qualities carry over into all areas of my life, whether it’s learning something new, staying disciplined, or taking on responsibilities. Overall, I’m a person who enjoys learning, growing, and taking on challenges. I like activities that stretch me mentally and physically, and I’m motivated by opportunities that allow me to develop myself and make the most of my potential. I successfully completed my GCSEs, as well as Level 3 BTECs in Business, Law, and IT, achieving two Distinction* grades and one Distinction. In addition, I was awarded an IT certificate in Year 13, which helped deepen my knowledge and practical skills in technology. I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Cybersecurity at University, where I am continuing to build my expertise in IT and develop my understanding of digital security. My education has provided a strong foundation in both academic knowledge and practical skills, preparing me for further challenges and professional growth.
