Hi, I’m Maja! (Pronounced Maya). I’m an astrophysics postgrad and a qualified secondary school science teacher. I’ve been through the full rollercoaster of science education, from fighting my way through a master’s degree and emerging with first-class honours, to teaching Year 9s on a Friday afternoon who would rather be anywhere else. Now I help GCSE and A-Level students believe what I already know: you can do this. My goal is to make science feel understandable, interesting, and even a bit fun. When I’m not teaching, you'll find me hanging upside down on an aerial hoop, or writing stories inspired by science and folklore. I went to secondary school in Hungary, where I was initially more interested in the humanities, until I fell in love with space and modern physics. For my leaving qualifications, I completed Advanced Exams in Mathematics and Physics and achieved an A. At university, I completed an integrated Master of Physics degree at the University of Southampton. My first three years focused on general physics (including lab work, mechanics, quantum physics, solid state physics, and wave physics) with a few modules of astronomy. During my master’s year, I had the incredible opportunity to conduct research at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where I studied the relationship between black holes and their host galaxies and wrote my thesis on this topic. I graduated with first-class honours in Astrophysics. After university, I felt drawn to education and wanted to help students grasp the beauty of science, so I completed a year of school-centred initial teacher training. I now hold a PGCE with QTS as a qualified science teacher.

Hello, I'm Taher Ahmed, a dedicated tutor with a focus on GCSE Mathematics, GCSE Science, GCSE Computer Science, A-level Mathematics, and A-level Computer Science. With over a year of experience in online tutoring and private sessions, I've assisted students in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. My background includes six months at Excel Tutor, aiding GCSE and A-level students. I believe in fostering a positive learning environment, ensuring each student feels supported. As an undergraduate at Queen Mary, my multicultural background enhances my adaptability and communication skills. Achieving top grades in A-levels and GCSE Mathematics reflects my commitment to academic excellence. With experience in sales and insights from virtual work at Vodafone and a placement at Fujitsu, I offer a diverse skill set. Volunteering at Poplar Mosque underscores my dedication to community service. Proficient in web development and programming languages, my multilingual skills in English, Italian, French, and Bengali add depth to my communication. Beyond academics, my interests in gaming, coding, chess, and sports showcase a well-rounded personality. As a nanny, I bring a blend of academic rigor, multicultural understanding, and a creative approach to engaging with children. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Science with Industrial Experience at Queen Mary University of London, a program that integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications in the field. Prior to my university studies, I completed my A-levels at Six21 in London, achieving outstanding results in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics. This solid foundation in the sciences laid the groundwork for my academic journey. My interest in computer science was further cultivated during my time at Langdon Park School, where I obtained excellent grades in GCSE subjects, including a grade 9 in Mathematics and Computer Science. This academic background has equipped me with a diverse skill set, encompassing both technical expertise and a broad understanding of scientific principles. I am enthusiastic about applying these skills in real-world scenarios during my industrial experience, and I am confident that my education will serve as a strong foundation for a successful career in the dynamic field of computer science.

Hello! I'm Ashleigh, an experienced English tutor with nearly a decade of teaching experience. I'm here to help you navigate the complexities of language and literature. Whether we're analysing Shakespeare or refining your creative writing, my aim is to make learning both enriching and enjoyable. Originally from Manchester, I now live in Scotland with my cat, Gus. I’ve always loved literature and enjoy exploring different perspectives through a wide range of genres, from dystopian fiction to poetry. I’m especially drawn to writing poetry that captures people, landscapes, and the natural beauty of Scotland. I also have a keen interest in TV and film, which often inspires the way I think about storytelling and brings a bit of imagination into my lessons. Alongside tutoring, I’m currently completing a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Strathclyde, where I’m developing a novel while researching how storytelling shapes the way we understand relationships and human experiences. I’m also working on a collection of short stories that explore human connections, while continuing to write poetry. Here’s what I bring to the table: GCSE English (KS3–KS4) – AQA, Edexcel & WJEC/Eduqas
I specialise in GCSE English across multiple exam boards and support students with both English Language and English Literature, helping them analyse texts, structure essays, and develop the skills needed to succeed in exams. SQA English (National 5 and Higher)
I’ve successfully guided students through Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) English courses at both National 5 and Higher levels. Creative Writing
I offer engaging creative writing sessions where we craft stories, write poetry, and explore language in imaginative ways. Conversational English
I help students improve their real-world communication skills through conversational English, practical vocabulary, and cultural nuances. Essay Editing & Proofreading
I also provide detailed feedback on essays and written assignments, including proofreading, improving structure and clarity, refining arguments, and helping students develop stronger academic writing while maintaining their own voice. I teach students across a wide range of ages, from 6 to 18, and can support you with all aspects of English. Because I work with different age groups and exam boards, I don’t have every text committed to memory—but if you let me know what you’re studying in advance, I’ll make sure I’m fully up to date and ready to help you get the most out of our lessons. My academic journey began at the University of Stirling, where I completed a BA (Hons) in English Studies and later an MLitt in Creative Writing, graduating with distinction. Alongside tutoring, I’m also a published short story writer and poet, a freelance editor, and currently completing a Level 5 TEFL qualification. My teaching style is professional but relaxed, with a focus on building confidence, encouraging independent thinking, and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed. Every lesson is tailored to the student’s goals, combining discussion, guided practice, and clear feedback so you can see your progress week by week. Whether you're preparing for exams, developing your writing, or simply looking to build confidence in English, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Hello! My name is Jhuzen, but you can call me Zen. I’m a dedicated Math tutor with over five years of experience specializing in Algebra and Geometry. I’m passionate about making math both accessible and enjoyable, and I always strive to adapt my teaching style to fit each student’s individual needs. I believe that with the right support, anyone can improve their math skills and gain confidence. I have a strong desire to travel the world and immerse myself in different cultures, learning from each place I visit. In my downtime, I enjoy watching a variety of videos and movies, especially ones that broaden my horizons or simply bring a bit of fun to my day. I hold a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, but my true passion lies in teaching mathematics. I feel entirely confident in this subject, and this is reflected in my ability to present complex concepts in a straightforward and highly effective way. My goal is to make math accessible and engaging for students of all levels and abilities, adapting my teaching style to meet their unique needs and learning preferences.
