Originally from Manchester, I now live in Scotland with my cat, Gus. My enthusiasm for literature drives me to explore a wide range of perspectives through various genres, from captivating dystopian tales to poignant poetry. Additionally, I have a keen interest in TV, film, and creative writing, which adds a touch of imagination to our lessons. Right now, I'm immersed in crafting a collection of short stories that delve into the intricacies of human connections. I've also got a novel in the works that's really close to my heart. Excitingly, I'm also exploring opportunities for doctoral research, aiming to deepen my knowledge and appreciation of literature and language. But most importantly, I'm here to help you unleash your creativity and deepen your love for English. Let's embark on this journey together! Hello!   I'm Ashleigh, and I'm thrilled to be your English tutor! With nearly a decade of tutoring experience, I'm here to navigate the complexities of language and literature alongside you. Whether we're dissecting Shakespearean prose or refining your creative writing skills, I aim to ensure that learning is both enriching and enjoyable. Here’s what I bring to the table: -GCSE English (KS3-KS4) (AQA Exam Board): I specialise in GCSE English, particularly tailored to the AQA exam board, but I’m adept at teaching English across the entire secondary education curriculum. Whether it’s analysing literature, mastering language skills, or acing exams, I’ve got you covered. -SQA English (National 5 and Higher): I’ve successfully guided students through the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) English courses at both National 5 and Higher levels. -Creative Writing: I offer engaging creative writing sessions where we’ll craft stories, poems, and explore language playfully. -Conversational English: Enhance your real-world communication skills. We’ll focus on conversational English, practical vocabulary, and cultural nuances.

My academic journey includes earning two degrees from the University of Stirling: a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English Studies and a recent postgraduate degree in MLitt Creative Writing, where I graduated with distinction. This experience has deepened my understanding of storytelling and language, and I'm eager to share my insights with you, whether you're aspiring to be a novelist or simply aiming to enhance your conversational English skills.   Currently, I'm furthering my teaching expertise through a Level 5 TEFL course. Beyond tutoring, my passion for writing extends to being a published short story writer and poet, and I also freelance as an editor in my spare time.   Central to my teaching philosophy is fostering independent thinking and self-discovery. I firmly believe in empowering students to think critically and develop lifelong learning skills. My approach is professional yet relaxed, creating an environment where you feel encouraged to explore and express yourself freely.   Whether you're grappling with exam anxiety, brimming with creative energy, or seeking to deepen your appreciation for the English language, I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Beyond teaching, I am passionate about reading non-fiction books and playing football. I pursued my Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree from Ayub Medical College.

Hello, I’m George, a qualified and experienced Science teacher specialising in Biology. I began teaching in a secondary school and sixth form in 2020 and have more than 2000 hours of teaching experience and have taught hundreds of students across KS3, GCSE, and A-level, helping them achieve real progress and confidence in their science studies. My passion for teaching began during a volunteer placement in Ghana in 2016, where I taught English and helped coach local sports teams, seeing first-hand the transformative power of education. I later supported first-year university students as a Peer Assisted Study Leader at the University of Bristol, further developing my skills in guiding students to achieve their potential. I hold a BSc in Biological Sciences from the University of Bristol and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education in Secondary Science from the University of Buckingham. Through my university studies, I have not only gained expert science subject knowledge but I also have an excellent understanding of the latest teaching methods to help facilitate learning and, ultimately, help pupils achieve their goals. Beyond the classroom, I have been involved in conservation projects in Sri Lanka and Costa Rica, experiences that have deepened my enthusiasm for Biology and environmental studies — knowledge I bring into my lessons to inspire students. As a tutor, I tailor each session to the individual needs of the student, combining engaging activities with exam-focused strategies. I emphasise exam technique, including effective question approaches and time management, to ensure students are confident and fully prepared for assessments. My lessons are interactive, personalised, and designed to build both understanding and results. With my classroom experience, subject expertise, and commitment to student success, I offer more than typical tutoring — I bring a teacher’s insight and proven methods to help you excel in Biology. As a secondary school pupil myself I achieved excellent results, obtaining 12 GCSES all graded A or A*, including Maths & English, with A*'s in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. At A-level I then went on to study Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, Religious Education and also achieved an AS level qualification in Critical thinking. Following this, I attended the University of Bristol, a Russel Group university which is renowned for its world-leading research and academic excellence. Here, I achieved my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences. Following this, I began working towards achieving qualified teacher status and took my first post as a teacher of Science at a secondary school in 2020. I attended the university of Buckingham and completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Education with a focus on Science in order to become a qualified teacher. Through my university studies, I have not only gained expert science subject knowledge but I also have an excellent understanding of the latest teaching methods to help facilitate learning and, ultimately, help pupils achieve their goals. Further to this I also have other experience in coaching and mentoring roles. In 2016, I volunteered for 6 weeks in a primary school in Accra, Ghana. My primary role was teaching English to students, but given that I have achieved a Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training and level 1 qualified rugby coach, I also helped to introduce organised sport in the school and also coached local men's rugby team, the Dansoman Hurricanes.

Hi, I am Tutor Mega. I have 3 years of experience teaching online and over 5 years of teaching offline. My journey as a tutor started in the university, by helping my colleagues catch up with the curriculum. This passion grew and I absolutely love helping students jump hurdles that seemed like mountains in the past. I am a Pharmacist by profession and this requires a broad knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Psychology to the advanced level, as it is needed to understand, discover and produce medicines for human use. I also have a teaching certificate from the TEFL Professional Institute. I have tutored Biology, Chemistry,Psychology and Physics at GCSE and A-levels, and I have also tutored Pharmacology to medical, nursing, and pharmacy students. My goal and tutoring style is to prioritize understanding while providing strategies to answer questions properly for the maximum possible marks, therefore, helping students achieve their academic goals. My story is one of pure resilience which is what I want to impact in my students daily. I went from a struggling high school student to acing my GCSE, and finally becoming a Pharmacist, which has always been my dream. I am a clinical researcher because I love to discover new things which also fostered my love for teaching. After all, learning is a two-way process and it never stops. Aside from teaching, I love to read, I love to cook as well as I am on a journey to discover new recipes!!! Finally, I think that learning doesn't have to be boring, and knowledge should be a lifelong gift. Bachelor's degree - Distinct Bachelor of Science ( Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences) GCSE - A* - Maths Chemistry Biology Physics Add Maths A ( English, Economics) TEFL Certificate - International Open Academy of London
