Josiah B.

I am a dedicated and results-driven tutor with a strong academic background in the sciences, supported by hands-on experience in laboratory research and academic writing. I have contributed to a publication with the British Heart Foundation in collaboration with the University of Oxford, which strengthened my ability to analyse complex information and communicate it clearly. This experience allows me to explain complex scientific concepts in a way that is clear, engaging, and accessible to students of all levels. I specialise in GCSE Biology and 11+ preparation, with a clear focus on helping students achieve top grades (A/A*). My teaching style is structured, engaging, and tailored to each student’s individual needs. I break down challenging concepts into simple, digestible steps and place strong emphasis on exam technique, ensuring students can confidently apply their knowledge. For 11+ students, I provide targeted support in areas such as problem-solving, comprehension, and critical thinking. I adapt each lesson to suit the student’s pace and learning style, creating a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading widely, particularly around science and personal development, which helps me bring fresh perspectives into my teaching. I enjoy inspiring and supporting others in their learning, keeping active, and pursuing my love of singing, experiences that have shaped my confidence and ability to connect with people effectively. My goal is not only to improve grades but to develop independent learners who feel empowered in their studies. I am committed to delivering high-quality, virtual tutoring that is both supportive and results-focused, helping every student reach their full academic potential. I hold a first-class degree in Biomedical Science, with a strong focus on molecular biology, genetics, and physiology. During my studies, I gained extensive laboratory experience, including DNA extraction, library preparation, and NGS techniques, which strengthened my practical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. I have contributed to a publication with the British Heart Foundation in collaboration with the University of Oxford, enhancing my ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively. In addition, I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Paramedic Science, with training in emergency medicine, which has further developed my practical, decision-making, and problem-solving skills in high-pressure situations. My academic foundation is complemented by GCSEs predominantly at A and A* grades, reflecting a strong record of consistent achievement across core subjects. Alongside my academic qualifications, I have completed training in teaching and academic mentoring, equipping me to design lessons tailored to individual learning needs and help students achieve top grades. I chose Biomedical Science out of a passion for understanding living systems and applying scientific knowledge in practical ways. My combination of a first-class academic record, research and lab experience, paramedic training, and tutoring expertise allows me to confidently support students in GCSE Biology and 11+ preparation. I focus on building both strong subject knowledge and effective exam strategies, helping students gain confidence, stay motivated, and excel academically.

Hi, I’m Pia Vance, a passionate and committed math tutor! I enjoy guiding students through mathematics using clear, engaging, and creative approaches. My aim is to make math enjoyable and meaningful through interactive lessons, practical examples, and thought-provoking problem solving that boosts confidence and curiosity. In my free time, I like reading spiritually uplifting books, watching great series, and exploring lovely spots with good food, coffee, and scenic views which gives me fun real-world examples to make teaching practical and memorable. I graduated with a degree in Electronics Engineering, where I built a strong foundation in mathematical theory and real-world problem solving. I also completed professional teaching units that strengthened my lesson design, student engagement, and classroom management skills. With six years of teaching experience, I combine engineering precision with effective pedagogy to craft clear, interactive lessons, adapt to diverse learning styles, and create a supportive environment where every student can build confidence and succeed.

Growing up in a part of Ireland rich in natural beauty, I developed a passion for hiking and camping, along with music on the Uillean pipes, Violin and piano. I enjoy language learning: specifically Spanish and Russian. Naturally, my main focus is Physics, which provides a constant challenge with every strange concept introduced I attended St. Michaels College, Enniskillen for my GCSE's, of which I obtained 8 A*s and 1 A, before switching to Enniskillen Royal Grammar School in order to pursue Further Maths. Here I obtained an A*A*A* grade in Maths, Physics, and Further Maths. I’m currently studying a Physics degree at the University of Edinburgh
