I started teaching Asian students back in 2014 and immediately fell in love with teaching and the ability to bestow the next generation with the necessary tools to understand the "true language of love", English! I love spending time with my 2-year-old daughter and trying to teach her how to play PlayStation 5. I love spending time with my family, watching movies, and trying to get my wife to watch Marvel movies (This is an ongoing battle). I am currently studying towards my degree in education and loving it! I have 4 years of online teaching experience (teaching Chinese, Japanese, and most recently, Vietnamese students) I am currently studying towards my degree in education. I have a CELTO certificate that certifies me to teach English as a foreign language.

Hi! I study Physical Natural Sciences at university and I am interested in continuing my studies in chemistry. I also have other hobbies such as football which I love to play and watch. I am studying at the University of Cambridge and have had an amazing first year learning at one of the best academic institutions! I received 9 grade 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Literature and Language, RE, Geography, Design and Technology, Chemistry, Physics and Biology and a grade 8 in French. At A-Level I received 4 A*s in Physics, Chemistry, Maths and an EPQ which I focused on nanotechnology. I am currently studying Physical Natural Sciences at Queens' College in the University of Cambridge.

As someone who has excelled in mathematics throughout my academic career, I am confident that I can make a significant impact as a GCSE-level mathematics tutor. I have always been passionate about numbers, and I believe that this enthusiasm translates well into my teaching style. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms that students can relate to, and I always strive to make my lessons engaging and interactive. In addition to my strong academic background, I have gained valuable experience working with students in various capacities, including volunteering as a tutor for younger students and coaching boxing at a youth level. These experiences have allowed me to hone my communication and leadership skills, which I believe are crucial for effective tutoring. My academic background includes pursuing an undergraduate degree in Mathematics at Queen Mary's University London. Additionally, I achieved A-levels in Economics (A*), Mathematics (A*), and Further Maths (A) and obtained 10 GCSE grades ranging from 9 to 6. Throughout my academic career, I have developed a strong passion for Mathematics and a deep interest in Economics. These subjects have challenged me intellectually and provided me with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills that I am eager to share with my students.

Hi, I'm Phila-Mae Arcenal, a TEFL-certified teacher with nearly six years of experience, including three years of online teaching. One of my most rewarding experiences has been tutoring a Korean student since she was seven—now at 13, we cover English and other school subjects. Teaching is my passion, and I love creating engaging lessons that help students grow and succeed. Each interaction is a chance to learn and make a positive impact on my students’ education. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, graduating with Latin honors in 2017. Building on this foundation, I pursued and completed my Juris Doctor degree in 2022. This academic journey from political science to law reflects my commitment to understanding and advocating within legal and societal frameworks. My background in political science has provided a deep awareness of governance and societal structures, while my legal education has equipped me with the skills to navigate, analyze, and influence these frameworks. This blend of disciplines not only strengthens my expertise but also fuels my dedication to making a meaningful impact in the legal field.
