I have always had a massive passion for maths since I was young and it has always came to me naturally, and I would love to help other students learn maths, whether they are already proficient with the subject and want help revising, or are struggling. Some of my hobbies include gaming (another passion of mine), doing the daily Wordle/Nerdle and then spending time and going out with my fiancée. My other qualifications include a GCSE grade 8 in Mathematics. I then went on to achieve a B in Mathematics, A in Financial Studies and a Distinction Star in Creative Media (Games Development) at A Level. Following, I am currently in my second year of studying towards a degree in Accounting and Finance at the University of Durham.

Hi! I'm Stella - a 3rd year undergraduate at Durham University studying French & Spanish. I've been tutoring both languages for over two years now, helping predominantly GCSE and A-level students, along with a couple of mature students as well. Along with being a keen linguist, I also enjoying reading, singing, and the odd bit of painting. I'm kind, approachable, and fluent in both French & Spanish, so if you'd like help with either language at any stage, just give me a bell!

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.

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.
