Hi, I’m Ernan! With over 20 years of math tutoring experience and a Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics, I specialize in helping students at the GCSE and A-level. My passion for math extends beyond teaching—I’ve applied mathematical principles to game design, making complex concepts engaging and accessible. Fluent in English, I connect well with students from diverse backgrounds, focusing on creating a supportive, dynamic learning environment. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my eight dogs and incorporating my love for music into lessons to make learning fun. Let’s work together to unlock your math potential and make learning exciting! I hold a Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics with a focus on Actuarial Science and have extensive experience in both teaching and practical math applications. Since 2000, I've tutored subjects from primary math to advanced topics like algebra, trigonometry, geometry, statistics, and calculus both in-person and online. I also teach other subjects including Biology, Physics, and Geography. My career also includes roles as a Game Mathematician and Slot Designer, where I developed mathematical models for slot games, as well as experience as a Software Engineer and Actuarial Assistant. With certifications in Computational Finance, TEFL, and various Microsoft and Google programs, I bring a broad range of expertise. Let’s work together to make math both engaging and accessible!

Hi, I’m Chelle, an enthusiastic educator on a mission to transform the way students connect with the English language. I believe that every word holds the power to inspire, communicate, and create. My passion lies in helping students unlock this potential by improving their communication skills and developing a lifelong appreciation for literature and language. From untangling the complexities of grammar to guiding students in crafting powerful narratives, I strive to make every lesson engaging, relevant, and impactful. My teaching philosophy is rooted in innovation, creativity, and a deep commitment to meeting students where they are in their learning journey. At the core of my work is a desire to empower students—giving them the tools and confidence to express themselves authentically and tackle life’s challenges with clarity and courage. For me, teaching is not just about education; it’s about inspiring growth, fostering connection, and igniting a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, which has equipped me with a solid understanding of human behavior, cognitive processes, and emotional well-being. My academic background has been the foundation for my professional journey in both the fields of guidance counseling and education. As a Guidance Counselor, I had the privilege of supporting students' personal, academic, and social development. I facilitated individual and group counseling sessions, working closely with students to address their challenges and develop strategies for resilience and growth. My role also involved collaborating with parents and teachers to create tailored interventions that promoted the holistic development of each student. I am particularly passionate about fostering mental health awareness and empowering young individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential. Currently, I apply my skills as an Online ESL Teacher, helping non-native speakers improve their English proficiency. In this role, I develop engaging lesson plans tailored to students' learning needs and goals. I focus on creating a supportive and interactive environment that encourages confidence in speaking, writing, and comprehension. This experience has further enhanced my ability to communicate effectively across cultures, adapt to diverse learning styles, and motivate students to succeed. My dual experience as a counselor and educator has strengthened my commitment to empowering individuals, whether by addressing their emotional and psychological needs or by equipping them with the tools for effective communication. I am dedicated to fostering personal growth and creating positive, meaningful connections in every role I undertake.

Hallo! :) Ich bin Elisa, 22 Jahre alt, lebe in Finnland und komme ursprünglich aus Deutschland. Ich studiere im sozialen Bereich und engagiere mich leidenschaftlich für internationale Projekte, um Jugendliche zu unterstützen und miteinander zu vernetzen. Neben Deutsch spreche ich fließend Englisch und beherrsche ein bisschen die Gebärdensprache (A1 Niveau); in der Schule habe ich außerdem Latein gelernt und das kleine Latinum erhalten. Mich selbst würde ich als einen aufgeschlossenen und fröhlichen Menschen beschreiben und begegne meinen Schüler*innen auf Augenhöhe. Ich hole sie dort ab, wo sie stehen, und gehe auf ihre individuellen Bedürfnisse ein. Gemeinsam finden wir den Weg, die Freude und den Spaß am Lernen wiederzuentdecken! Ich war Schülerin an einem Gymnasium, habe mich aber während der Corona-Zeit entschieden, einen anderen Bildungsweg einzuschlagen. Ich hätte mein Abitur zu dieser Zeit gemacht, aber ich habe das Gymnasium nach der 11. Klasse verlassen und eine Ausbildung zur staatlich anerkannten Sozialassistentin absolviert. Mit einem 1er-Schnitt habe ich nicht nur meine Hochschulreife, sondern auch eine abgeschlossene Berufsausbildung erreicht. Ich habe mich bewusst für diesen Weg entschieden, weil die Inhalte der Ausbildung besser zu meinem späteren Berufsfeld passten als die allgemeine Abiturvorbereitung. Direkt nach der Ausbildung habe ich mein Studium aufgenommen, und die Ausbildung hat mir eine starke Grundlage für diesen Weg gegeben. Ich habe in verschiedenen Kontexten Nachhilfeerfahrungen gesammelt. In der 7. Klasse erhielt ich selbst Nachhilfe in Englisch, wodurch ich viel über effektive Lernstrategien gelernt habe. Später habe ich selbst Nachhilfe in Deutsch, Mathe, Englisch und Latein für verschiedene Klassenstufen gegeben. Diese Erfahrungen haben mir gezeigt, wie individuell Lernwege sein können. Es macht mir Spaß, andere auf ihrem Weg zu unterstützen. Ich finde es essenziell, einen individuellen Weg zu finden, der auf die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten ist.

Hi, I'm Leigh, and I have a strong background in Civil Engineering. I'm deeply passionate about this field because it beautifully combines creativity, problem-solving, and real-world applications to shape the world around us. But my love for learning doesn't stop there—I have a profound passion for teaching as well. I find immense joy in sharing knowledge, inspiring others, and helping them achieve their goals. Whether I'm explaining technical concepts or mentoring aspiring learners, teaching allows me to connect with people and make a positive impact in their lives. For me, learning should never feel like a chore. It's a journey of discovery, growth, and excitement. When learning is fun and engaging, it becomes more effective and meaningful. It's not just about absorbing information; it's about sparking curiosity, encouraging creativity, and building connections between what we learn and how we live. I hold a degree in Civil Engineering, and I am currently pursuing a course in Education. Transitioning into education has been a deliberate and meaningful decision for me. I am passionate about teaching and inspiring others, and I aim to combine my technical expertise with my love for teaching to make a significant impact on the lives of learners.
