Subjects and levels: Lower level - Maths, 11+. GCSEs - Maths Exam board experience: Edexcel, AQA, 11+ SEND experience: ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia I am passionate about education having worked fulltime as a tutor for over two years and in various education roles for 5 years including student outreach for a UK university supporting the learning and future education progression of students with lower predicted outcomes due to a wide range of social and personal circumstances. I have tutored over 100 students, with my GCSE maths students overachieving thier predicted grades by 1.8 on average. I currently tutor 20+ students on GoStudent and have new spaces available with my previous cohort of Yr 11s having completed their exams. I believe learning can be an enjoyable experience for all students, given the right space and support to blossom in their own time.

Lower Level: English National 4/5 & GCSE: English Scottish Higher: English Scottish Advanced Higher: English Exam board experience: None Languages: English (native), German (native), Gaelic (basic competency), French (basic competency) SEND experience: None Preferred Student Age Groups: Secondary School, National 4/5, Higher About me: I am a creative, relaxed and friendly English tutor originally from the Highlands with a 1st Class Honours degree in Drama and Contemporary Performance, currently studying for my Master's in Theatre Studies. Having left secondary school in Scotland with seven Highers and an Advanced Higher only four years ago, as well as having experienced studying online during the pandemic while at university, I understand the challenges facing students right now. I joined GoStudent in May 2023, and since then have been working with students across multiple age groups, from KS2 to GCSE. My teaching background is in youth theatre and drama classroom contexts - I was the assistant tutor for the LAMDA Grades 1-5 at Eden Court Theatre, Inverness from 2017-2020, and the director of Millburn Academy Drama Club from 2017-2020. It was here that I developed my teaching style, which focuses on identifying gaps in students' knowledge and skillsets and facilitating a student-focused approach in which I work with the student to explore the techniques that are right for them. Working with the students at LAMDA involved developing their close reading skills to extract information about character and context from a monologue and exploring effective memorisation techniques for line-learning with each individual student, and this individualised, student-led approach is essential to my teaching. I am particularly skilled in literacy, comprehension, and essay-writing. My drama background informs my tutoring, as I aim to bring some flair to lessons, while balancing fun with learning! I believe in removing all barriers to educational achievement, and have always striven to be fair, kind and open-minded to the young people I teach, seeing students not just as grades, but whole people, and supporting them throughout their education with empathy and compassion. Outside of teaching I'm an avid bookworm, film buff, and baker.

Hi there! I am an experienced and empathetic English Literature and Language tutor with over 5 years of experience and many success stories under my belt. I have experience teaching English Literature and English Language for the following levels and exam boards: A-Level— AQA, OCR, WJEC Eduqas; GCSE— AQA, OCR, WJEC Eduqas; Key Stage 3, as well as the 11+ exams. I'm also very interested in tutoring students at the undergraduate level. I only (fluently) speak English, and I do not have any SEN tutoring experience. My approach to tutoring is student centric, with a focus on developing skills via scaffolding. I encourage participation and employ multimedia learning tools when and where appropriate. Empathy and support are the cornerstones of a good classroom experience, so I am highly patient with all of my students and try to structure my tutoring to build on their schoolwork and complement their existing learning. My proudest moments are when something has 'clicked' for one of my students that they have previously struggled with in class! In my spare time, I (predictably) enjoy reading, walking and listening to podcasts, but I'm also an enthusiastic home cook, amateur forager and volunteer at a local art gallery. I have something of a tech-y side also, and I've been known to tinker with computers and play videogames (usually on the artsier side)! In 2021, I graduated from the English Master's programme at the University of Liverpool with a strong Distinction and a highly commended dissertation. I had also previously completed a BA at UoL, and received As and A*s in my English Literature A-Level and GCSEs. My Master's degree specialised in contemporary and modern literature, but I love Victorian, Renaissance and classic lit too! I'm a bit of a nerd for literary theory and poetry in particular (my MA dissertation even drew on my experience of teaching poetry to young people).

Hi there! My name is Sarai and I'm a 33-year-old maths tutor. I graduated from the University of East Anglia with a degree in mathematics and have experience teaching students at primary, GCSE and A-level, as well as adult learners. I love helping students understand and excel in maths, and I'm all about providing personalised instruction tailored to each student's needs. Whether you're struggling to keep up or want to get ahead, I'm here to help you achieve your goals and build a strong maths foundation. I have a passion for making maths accessible and fun for students, and I am always looking for new and creative ways to explain difficult concepts. I believe that every student has the potential to excel in maths, and I strive to help each student reach their full potential. I have experience with SEN students, including those with anxiety, ADHD, and autism. Above all I believe in a relaxed learning environment - a stressed brain is not a learning brain! Whether your child needs help with basic maths concepts, or you're a student preparing for A-Level exams, I'm here to help. My goal is to make maths fun and accessible for everyone. I look forward to working with you!

I also obtained an A-level in Physics. I continued my education at university completing an Undergraduate BSc Honours and Postgraduate degrees in Civil Engineering. I am very enthusiastic about teaching mathematics, and I have taught a variety of students across many ages and abilities for over 20 years. I find tutoring very rewarding as it enables me to inspire students to improve and achieve their goals.
