Daisy L.

I'm currently a first year undergraduate studying Computer Science and Maths at university. I really enjoyed Maths throughout secondary school and sixth form and hope to use this passion to aid students who are currently in the same position I was in. I am offering tutoring in GCSE Maths. Overall I have always been a high performing student. I achieved 9999999888 at GCSE (including 9’s in Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and A* A* A at A-level in Maths, Further Maths and Physics respectively. I have also had plenty of experience tutoring Maths at GCSE level and so it is a subject I am very comfortable with teaching

GCSE: Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics A_Level: Maths, Further Maths Uni Level: Maths Exam board exp: AQA/OCR/Edexcel/private school system entry Experience with: KS1/KS2/KS3/GCSE's/A-Levels/MAT Languages: Persian Exp with disabilities/special needs: Exp with dyslexia, Autism and exam anxiety Preferred student age group: Any About me: I love playing badmiton and cycling. I'm actually planning to cycle to Uni every day when term start. Other than that, I love reading, and that could be anything from novels to sci-fi etc. I have just finished my first year doing Maths at Imperial College London with a 2.1 and am going into second year. I finished my A-Levels in 2020 and got 4 A*'s in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Biology. I also got 68 on the MAT entrance exam.

I am John Carlo Pontilllas, a licensed mechanical engineer, master plumber, board exam top-notcher, and instructor with five years of combined experience in engineering and teaching Math, Science, and Engineering. As a private tutor, I am passionate about helping students understand challenging concepts, tailor lessons to their individual needs, and build confidence in their abilities. I take pride in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive. With my expertise and dedication, I aim to help students reach their academic goals and develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. Let's reach your academic goals together! I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. As a city scholar, I balanced academic excellence with practical experiences. My licensure as a Mechanical Engineer and Master Plumber reflects my dedication to professional growth. Beyond engineering, my teaching experience in Math and Science has deepened my ability to simplify complex topics, ensuring students reach their full potential.

I'm literally so overjoyed to have had the amazing opportunity to join GoStudent as a tutor back in April 2023 and I just wanted to elaborate further on my academic and in addition extracurricular skills which have equipped me greatly to be able to shine a light on my own capabilities as well as my weaknesses at this time! I think that I have developed my communication skills via group work with the rest of the tutors and programme coordinators and also have had the privilege to really just go into further detail about what actually makes me tick and I really appreciate how supportive everyone has been in terms of my development and progress thus far. But how about he excitement of sharing a wonderful session with my tutees? We usually discuss the relevance of outside-of-the-box thinking and how phenomenal it is when the student and their loved ones get to choose what will happen during the lesson itself and also set the standards regarding the content to be covered so the sessions are usually quite fun and engaging to be honest! :-) I really enjoyed my time at the UCL School of Pharmacy while studying for the MPharm degree and I am just waiting to be able to sit some deferred final year exams and graduate hopefully quite soon following a recent gap year actually. I did graduate with a first in MSci in Pharmaceutical Studies back in October 2022. Now I am just in the process of applying for medical school and tend to spend my free time on either reading novels, playing the keyboard or making artsy-craftsy notes which will hopefully contribute towards a revision blog that I am starting to establish. I also like going for walks and exploring all sorts of new exciting places within London. I did of course go to Exeter medical school back in 2017 and left (for personal reasons such as the PBL structure of the course) before joining UCL in 2018. This means I am quite agile when it comes to things like discussing interview techniques and CV requirements if needed for individual students. I also tend to motivate my tutees to stay and CONTINUE with what they are doing rather than back away, especially in the face of challenges! This is because I myself wish I hadn't left medicine and now am re-applying so it indicates my perseverence and understanding of the new and surprising aspects of the course! ;)
