Hi, my name is Sophia and I'm a 24 year old tutor, writer, and theatre maker. I run weekly writing workshops for young people between the ages of 12 and 16, and have experience working one-to-one with secondary school students with special educational needs as a learning mentor. I am passionate about providing teaching which supports, inspires, and builds confidence by responding to the individual needs of each student. As a writer, theatre maker and avid reader, I have a broad knowledge of fiction, poetry, and play texts. I love playing guitar, drawing and being outdoors. Levels & subjects I teach: - GCSE: English Literature & English Language - A-Level: English Literature Exam board experience: - I can provide support for students preparing for AQA and Edexcel examinations. Languages: - Native English speaker I am a graduate of the University of Exeter where I studied Drama BA and received first class honours. I was awarded the Christopher McCullough prize at the end of my final year for my collaborative and collegial work ethic. The award recognises a final year student who has made a difference to the department, University or wider community. Prior to university, I was a student at Varndean College in Brighton where I studied A-Level English Literature (A*), Drama (A), and Anthropology (A*).

I am a BSc Mathematics graduate from the University of Leeds. I offer a friendly approach to tutoring maths from GCSE to A-Level (I can also offer support to University students doing a maths/maths related subject). My goal is to help students become more confident in their mathematical abilities and learn to love the subject just as I do. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and ask any questions, I am here to help.

I'm a highly driven, enthusiastic learner and teacher; I am currently completing my qualification to become a certified TEFL/TESOL teacher to teach abroad and help students of all ages and backgrounds gain confidence in English. Alongside this, I am currently completing my degree in Zoology. I can teach a variety of age groups and subjects including maths, biology, general sciences, geography, zoology, and English at primary and KS3 levels—as well as English literature, English language, biology, psychology, zoology and geography at GCSE. Due to a new job in childcare, the only times I have available for teaching are during school hours on Monday-Friday. I also have a 9 a.m. slot on Sundays. Exam Board Experience: AQA, Edexcel. Languages: Fluent/native in English (currently completing a TEFL/TESOL course in the English language as well), Basic French and Spanish. SEND: I do not have any specific experience with SEND groups, however, I have worked with children in mixed-ability groups. I am more than happy to cater my tutoring towards any SEND requirements or disability requirements, I aim for my lessons to be as accessible as possible. I have quite a few students currently that are SEND and have been successful with them so far. Preferred student age group: Primary age up to GCSE, and any ESL/TEFL students wanting to learn English I have many hobbies including music, reading fiction and non-fiction and learning new things from scientific literature. I would like to say that I'm always doing a hobby that is interesting and productive but I also love watching movies in bed and taking lovely, long walks around town with my headphones on. As a student that prioritised my grades and my studies so much, I understand far too well how it can affect your mental health and well-being. Making sure my students are happy and confident is my number one priority, and I will ensure that I act as a supportive and compassionate tutor. Higher education at university base in the Biological sciences department (specifically focused on Zoology) Completed A-Levels/BTECs in biology, psychology and medical science and 10 GCSEs ranging from A*-B grades I have a level 1 certificate in British Sign Language, I completed this by joining a British Sign Language Society in my 2nd year of university. I also have a Gold University of Chester Volunteering Award (UCV), awarded to me for dedicating over 150 hours to various volunteering projects. This included my role as a project leader for 'Bonding Through Books'; this project aimed to create a fun and safe environment for primary-age children to learn and read outside of the curriculum.
