Tutoring Preference: - Primary English and Maths - SATs Preparation - NO SEN EXPERIENCE I pride myself on my friendly and approachable demeanour, coupled with a naturally bubbly personality. This enables me to effortlessly connect with students, fostering an environment where they feel comfortable and motivated to learn. Building strong relationships with my students is at the heart of my teaching philosophy. How my Sessions Go: I meticulously plan each tutoring session to ensure an enriching and productive learning experience for my students. Every session kicks off with an engaging starter activity covering a diverse range of topics. This initial assessment allows me to pinpoint each student's strengths and areas for improvement effectively. I believe in the power of visual aids to enhance understanding. That's why I always come prepared with informative presentations tailored to the topic at hand. These presentations serve as valuable learning tools, providing clarity and depth to the subject matter. Throughout the session, I incorporate a mix of interactive activities. Some tasks involve direct engagement with me, facilitating personalised guidance and feedback. Meanwhile, I also provide independent activities that challenge students to apply their knowledge autonomously. These activities are thoughtfully designed to be both stimulating and educational. As a firm believer in the importance of motivation and engagement, I love to conclude sessions with a fun, educational game. These games not only serve as a rewarding break but also help maintain focus and enthusiasm. By integrating elements of play into learning, I ensure that students remain actively engaged and invested in their progress. Through this structured approach, I aim to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore, learn, and excel. I tailor personalised study plans to address your child's individual needs, ensuring they receive the support where they need it most. By creating mini assessments on topics covered, I closely monitor your child's progress and provide detailed reports on their development. Following each session, I promptly send a comprehensive feedback report and supplementary homework within 24 hours. This approach not only reinforces the concepts we've covered but also boosts your child's confidence and knowledge. I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role as a tutor, with a strong foundation in both academic and industry qualifications: - Level 2 Apprenticeship in Children and Young People's Workforce: Completed following my GCSEs, this apprenticeship provided me with invaluable insights into child development and effective teaching strategies. - Primary Teaching Assistant Experience: Over the past four years, I've honed my skills as a Primary Teaching Assistant, gaining extensive knowledge of the English and Maths curriculum. This hands-on experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of students' learning needs and effective classroom management techniques. - Degree in Digital Marketing: Alongside my work as a Primary Teaching Assistant, I pursued a degree in Digital Marketing, further enhancing my communication and organizational skills. - Tutoring Experience with GoStudent: In April 2022, I joined GoStudent, a leading global ed-tech company, where I've been tutoring Key Stage 2 students in English and Maths. This experience has allowed me to refine my teaching methods and adapt to the unique needs of each student. Additionally, I have converted 100 trials since I have been with the platform. - Specialisation in 11+ Exam Preparation: In the past year, I've had the privilege of supporting students in preparation for their 11+ exams, witnessing their growth and success first-hand. I'm adept at teaching Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, particularly for exams such as the GL Assessments.

Blessy I.

Hello there! My name is Blessy I am currently a third-year medical student. I have had previous experience tutoring children of all ages in person and two years on the GoStudent platform. I am confident the skills and resources I have built will allow me to excel at my job here. I am happy to tutor GCSE Biology and Chemistry as well as primary maths. GCSE: Biology; Chemistry Exam Board Experience: Biology - AQA; Chemistry - AQA I received seven 9s, two 8s and one 7 in my GCSEs which I sat in person as well as ABB in A-level chemistry, biology and maths. I enjoy going on walks, which stems from partaking in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, listening to music and crocheting in my spare time!

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.
