Currently studying MSc Global Crime, Justice and Security at the University of Edinburgh, I have done my entire education in France and graduated from high school with an A* average. French is my mother tongue and I am particularly eager to share my language and culture. I have been tutoring for 2 years now, whether it be privately or on other platforms. I am experienced with both in person (in schools) and online session and have so far given over 400 french tutoring sessions. I have helped students from the age of 5 up to 30 years old, whether it was for improving conversational skills or preparing for Entrance Exam, GCSE or A-Level.

Lower Level: Mathematics, Physics GCSE: Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Additional Mathematics A-Level: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics Exam Board Experience: Cambridge O' and A' levels, SAT, IMAT Languages: English (mother tongue), Urdu Preferred Student Age Group: Any up to A' levels (included) About Me: I have over 5 years of tutoring experience which started in my O levels when my classmates asked me to teach them physics and mathematics. Over the course of my A levels, I started helping more and more students in either one-on-one settings or in groups of two or three, both, face to face and online. This is the point where I realized that I enjoy teaching; when students younger than me and, in some cases, even my own friends came up to me and told me how well their tests and exams went. I have taught many subjects throughout my tutoring experience: GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Additional Mathematics, GCSE Physics, GCSE Computer Science, A-level Mathematics, A-level Physics, A-level Computer Science and Mathematics and Physics for entrance tests such as for SAT, IMAT and the admission test to my university Politecnico di Torino. Simply put, I love teaching! I try to make tutoring experiences as interactive as possible especially with the use of technology. Apart from teaching, I enjoy reading, cooking and travelling the world! I recently completed my Bachelors in Computer Engineering and I am now pursuing my Masters Degree in Artificial Intelligence at Politecnico di Torino in Italy, a university that ranks in the top 40 for Engineering and Technology in the world. I have completed my GCE O' levels with 8 A*s and 2 As and my A' levels with 3 A*s and 1 A. During my O' Levels, I opted for Additional Mathematics and Statistics as additional subjects on top of the regular Mathematics course. The other main subjects in my O' Levels were physics, chemistry and computer science. In A' Levels, I studied Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science and Chemistry.

Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at West Virginia Wesleyan College (WVWC) - 4 years Master of Science Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology at Georgia State University (GSU) - 2 years Teaching assistant (TA) for the biology department at GSU for 4 semesters at a biology laboratory course - 3 semesters Neuroscience research at the DKFZ in Heidelberg (Germany) with professor Hannah Monyer Currently doing a PhD in neuroscience at IRB Lleida located in my hometown, Lleida (Spain). Over 500 lessons taught to over 20 students in this platform Keen on helping students learn the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in biology and chemistry for both A-level and GCSE exams My teaching experience includes teaching assistant position at a biology lab at Georgia State University (United States of America) for 4 semesters as well as teaching different techniques to lab groups at the institution I am currently enrolled in doing my PhD. I have also delivered over 500 lessons on this online platform to over 20 students seeking help for their GCSE, OCR, WJEC, and AQA A-level exam boards in both chemistry and biology. While my experiences both as a student and as a teacher have developed my communication skills by using the proper tone and terminology, I value the most having learned from the doubts and questions from my past students as well as having done many final past paper questions. Despite every student being different, experience helps tremendously. Some students are very advanced and prefer working on past paper questions by tackling some specific aspects of the exam board, while some others require a bit more work on some modules and require a session more akin to covering a variety of concepts. When teaching new concepts, I use self-made PowerPoint slides specifically designed to incorporate the knowledge required to succeed in the exam questions for that exam board. In these slides, I use a scaffolding teaching technique which is about covering fundamental learning outcomes prior moving towards the more advanced concepts. I also incorporate past paper questions in every lesson to ensure the student is engaging in proactive learning, and not simply passively listening to me talk for 50 minutes. Overall, my goal is to engage the student in his or her own learning by teaching them skills and by giving them greater focus in some areas of each module. A lot of concepts are covered in these exam boards but knowing where to place great emphasis surely fosters their learning. This is where experience teaching these exams really comes into play, and it will also help me quickly devise the best study plan for the student. To complement my online teaching sessions, I have a digital pad that enables me to quickly write notes, draw or paste diagrams to ensure the lesson is smooth and dynamic. Online teaching may seem, at first glance, limited in terms of being able to write notes, however, currently online learning has been greatly updated thanks to such devices. I am currently only teaching biology and chemistry from GCSE and A-level exams but not higher levels (i.e. not teaching university programs). Like many teachers, my personal preference are students that are keen on learning regardless of their starting point. However, I have taught students that needed motivation coming from me and I was able to help them significantly. I will be happy to answer any questions that may concern you in the trial session if these were not answered in this introduction or by any GoStudent agent.
