I am Kathrine Joyce Hagunos. I have been teaching English for more than 8 years now. I have taught in a private school for 2 years and 6 years in a public school before I explored the world online teaching. I am a licensed professional teacher in the Philippines and hold a 120hr TESOL certificate. Presently, I am pursuing my master’s degree in Education with specialization in English Language Teaching. I am a graduate of Bachelor in Secondary Education major in English and a licensed professional teacher in the Philippines. I also hold a 120hr TESOL certificate. Presently, I am pursuing my master’s degree in Education with specialization in English Language Teaching.

I am studying Natural Sciences at Loughborough University, focusing on Bioscience and Maths with the hope of entering neuroscience. I have A Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths and GCSE's in Biology, Maths, Chemistry, Physics, French, English Language, English Literature, Religious Studies and History. I have been tutoring for just over a year now and have seen consistent positive improvements and differences in my students, through improved understanding and better results. I believe each student has a way of learning that is most effective to them, and once this is understood, each individual's potential is limitless. I completed my GCSE's at The Nobel School and achieved a grade 9 in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, French, and History and a grade 8 in English Literature, Maths and Religious Studies. I completed my A levels at The Nobel Sixth Form, in Biology, Chemistry and Maths and I achieved an A in Maths, an A in Biology and a B in Chemistry. I am currently completing a Masters in Natural Sciences at Loughborough University with an integrated placement year with a view of entering the field of neuroscience.

My name is Giada, an Italian expatriate in the UK for 7 years. I hold a degree in Forensic Science. My passion for learning fuels a desire to share knowledge, embodying a blend of cultural richness and scientific curiosity. I embrace challenges with a positive mindset, making every experience an opportunity for growth. I love adopting different teaching styles according to the students and their specific needs. I teach various subjecs such as Biology, Chemistry and Italian to students from the ages of 10 to 25+. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy spending my time practising yoga, reading books and volunteering. I have struggled with anxiety and have been always a bit of a perfectionist, therefore I have personal experience with how it feels to want to achieve the best one can, and I try to give some help and advice to students from this point of view as well. I have helped students with ADHD and dyslexia achieve great results in their university exams and coursework, therefore I have an awareness of how these conditions affect each individual differently and how to try and tweak my teaching style accordingly. I am a graduate of Abertay University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences in 2021, achieving a 1st class degree. Throughout my four-year course, I demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence and was recognised with prizes for outstanding achievements in both biology and chemistry-related subjects. My Biology knowledge is strong across all exam boards and I have a particular interest in Genetics and Molecular Biology. During my time at Abertay University, I served as the Class Representative for two consecutive years, actively contributing to the academic community and fostering communication between students and faculty. This experience honed my leadership and organizational skills. Engaging in the Research Volunteer Scheme (of a chemistry-based project) provided me with invaluable practical experience in applying the research process. This training enhanced my understanding of the scientific method and its application in real-world scenarios. As an Online Peer Mentor, I supported new students on their academic journey, demonstrating my dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. In my dissertation, I delved into the intricate realm of mRNA and miRNA, showcasing my in-depth knowledge of these molecules alongside DNA in both general biology and forensic biology. This research experience not only expanded my understanding of molecular biology but also sharpened my analytical and investigative skills. Overall, my academic journey at Abertay University has equipped me with a solid foundation in forensic sciences, complemented by hands-on research experience and a commitment to academic and peer support. I am eager to apply this wealth of knowledge and skills in teaching younger generations. I have been working in industry ever since. I possess academic as well as professional application of biology and chemistry knowledge. I am Italian, therefore I can offer Italian lessons to English speaking students. My experience in tutoring has been mostly with my peers (ages 18-22), however, I have also gained experience with children from ages of 8 to 17.

Here are the subjects I teach. Lower level: Primary School level Maths GCSE: Maths A-level: Maths Exam Board Experience: AQA Languages: Fluent in English and Japanese Preferred student age group: Any About Me: Hi there! I’m Len and I am currently a student at Durham University. I treat tutoring like a hobby rather than a job, I really enjoy improving mathematical understanding and helping students succeed in their studies. In my free time I love keeping myself physically and mentally healthy by swimming and playing Ultimate Frisbee at university. I also started learning the guitar in the summer of 2022. I find that music is a great way to take your mind off of things and de-stress.
