Hi! I am currently a second-year student at Leeds University studying Zoology. I have a passion for biology but, more specifically, animal biology. I hope to eventually pursue a career in conservation or the study of animal behaviour. My first year at university was almost completely virtual. I, therefore, have first-hand experience with online learning and I can appreciate that it may be more difficult to engage with learning over a computer. My year has taught me many valuable things but something I have certainly picked up is what works online; I am eager to make these lessons engaging and interesting. At primary school level, I am able to teach in any subject, I also have experience with the 11+, having passed and attended a Grammar School. I am looking to teach mostly English Literature and Biology. Despite this, having achieved an A* grade in Chemistry, Physics, French, Spanish, ICT and Maths, as well as English Language and Biology, and an A grade in English Literature and Geography in my GCSEs, I am comfortable in all of these subjects. Having also obtained an A grade at A-level Biology, I am extremely excited about having the opportunity to teach this subject, I hope to be able to share my passion and show just why biology is so great! My interests aren't refined to biology, however; reading has always been an integral part of my life and this is reflected in my love for the study of English as a whole. The book “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini was introduced to me when studying A-level English Literature and has remained to be my favourite novel. I would be very happy to teach both Biology and English Literature to an A-level standard. Outside of academia, I enjoy art. I have recently begun to commission canvas oil paintings and I am also a member of art society at university where we regularly attend art workshops such as life drawing. I also took a year out before joining university in which I was lucky enough to work a ski season in La Plagne, France. Here I worked as a chalet host for three months which was an amazing experience.

Hello, My name is Sridevi! Being a Science graduate with Maths has always made me fascinated with maths. I have a thorough understanding of the curriculum as I have worked in Primary school as a teaching assistant which gives me experience working with SEN children and gifted and talented children which enables me the knack for pitching the lessons and hooking them to the lessons. My interventions and commitment to inspiring children in school who had maths anxiety made them change their perspective toward mathematics and boosted their confidence and scores in SATs. I also tutored Vedic Maths and Hindi for charity and during the pandemic, I quickly adapted to virtual learning and had to prepare my slides accordingly. I have 8 years of experience working in primary school and tutoring primary and secondary maths and my students especially enjoyed Vedic Maths: the techniques of solving mathematically mentally and quicker ways of solving them. Recently I am doing my PGCE secondary Maths being a trainee teacher has doubled my knowledge and experience to share with young minds to excel in their studies in school. Assisting students with homework, projects, test preparation, papers, research, and other academic tasks. Working with students to help them understand key concepts, especially those learned in the classroom. I usually start my lessons with meditation to calm pupils’ agitated minds to relax and get focused. My lessons have knowledge retrieval from previous lessons so the students could recap their previous lessons and problem-solving questions which shows the importance of maths in real life also at the end of the class, we have a quiz and multiple-choice questions which enables the child to get motivated and focused and helps me to pitch the lessons for the next lesson or set a task as homework. My personal skills such as patience, empathy, and active listening will enable my students to persevere in their studies.
