Aivy Louise Y.

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).

I am a recent graduate of mechanical engineering from Lancaster University. I am passionate about learning in all its forms and I firmly believe that any sudent can do great at any subject, it all just depends on how good the teacher is at making the material acessible and fun.

Hello! I'm a Chemical Engineering student at the University of Birmingham with a passion for learning and helping others. When I'm not immersed in my studies, I enjoy dancing and playing badminton to stay active and refreshed. I'm excited about the opportunity to tutor and share my knowledge, aiming to make complex subjects more understandable and enjoyable for my students. I completed my A-levels at Archbishop Ilsley Catholic School, where I studied Maths, Physics, and Chemistry, achieving grades of A*, A*, and A respectively. Additionally, I completed an AS-Level in Further Maths, earning an A grade. Currently, I am a student at the University of Birmingham, entering my third year of studying Chemical Engineering. My strong foundation in the sciences and mathematics, combined with my university experience, equips me with a deep understanding of the subjects I tutor.
