About me: I am a dedicated and passionate science tutor with a strong background in biology, chemistry, and physics. I am committed to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment that encourages students' curiosity and scientific thinking. With a proven track record in adapting teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, I am adept at conveying complex scientific concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. My experience spans across various online platforms, where I have successfully conducted needs assessments and designed individualized tutoring services. I am also skilled in preparing and delivering engaging lessons, monitoring student performance, and adjusting teaching strategies for improved content delivery. My goal is to help students master material content, improve their study skills, and build confidence in their scientific abilities. University of Sunderland A-Levels GCSE TESOL TEFL I hold a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, a rigorous program that has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. My academic journey has been marked by intensive coursework in areas such as organic and inorganic chemistry, human anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and biophysics. This strong foundation has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to effectively teach and simplify complex scientific concepts. My passion for science, coupled with my academic background, allows me to bring a unique perspective to tutoring, making learning an engaging and enriching experience for my students. In addition to my degree, I have also completed a 120-hour TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. This certification has equipped me with the skills to effectively communicate complex scientific concepts in an accessible and understandable manner. It has also enabled me to adapt my teaching methods to cater to the diverse learning styles and needs of students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. With this blend of scientific knowledge and teaching expertise, I am well-prepared to guide students through their academic journey in the sciences.

I have been teaching GCSE & A-Level Maths & Sciences for 5 years now. Taking complicated ideas and simplifying them down to simple, discrete, and graspable bite-sized chunks is my passion. Exam prep. & practice is what I specialize in. Having been through the med-school application process and exams, I have learned quite a bit about exam strategies. I am a 4th-year medical student, studying to become a medical doctor. I completed 4 A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Maths. Prior to that, I did my GCSEs in the same subjects plus a few others. I managed to get straight A*s and thought I could help others do the same.

I am currently a first year university student, studying PPE (politics, philosophy and economics) at the university of York. I successfully achieved straight As and A*s (7,8,9s) at GCSE, which led me to pick history, biology and Spanish at A level. I am particularly unique when it comes to Spanish teaching as I am a native speaker, being half Spanish, and having spoken the language from as little as I can remember. I sat my GCSE’s and A levels at Mayfield school, a boarding school for girls in East Sussex. After my a levels, I had successfully gotten into my firm and my insurance choice universities ( the university of Nottingham an the university of York). Both universities being Russel group, I ended up deciding to attend the university of York, here I currently am a first year studying PPE (BA)(politics, philosophy an economics).

CURRENT AVAILABILITY: - Not taking on any primary students. - Happy to take on Year 10/11 history or english students depending on availability. Currently studying Modern History with Economics at the University of Manchester, I have experience teaching a wide range of history GCSE and A Level topics. The topics I have the most experience is in: Nazi Germany, The Cold War, Medicine through time, Anglo Saxon and Norman England, 20th Century Russia (1894-1924) and Britain during the 17th century (1625-1701); given the wide scope of history modules I study at University, I have a broader understanding of history - especially modern history. In addition to this, I am qualified and able to teach AQA GCSE English Language/Literature - including texts such as the Inspector Calls, Power and Conflict (Poetry), and Macbeth/Romeo and Juliet to a high level given my success at GCSE and A Level for English. As a tutor I would bring an infectious passion to continuous learning and improvement, helping students realise that commitment and hard work can take you far. Having been in the fortunate position of being taught by exceptional teachers, I am grateful for them helping me become the person I am today; I will strive to embed their values and principles in my own teaching, hoping to make a similar impact on the minds and hearts of the future generation. GCSE History - Grade 9; A Level History - A*; Currently studying Modern History with Economics at The University of Manchester. AQA GCSE English Literature - Grade 8 (A*); Edexcel A Level English Literature - A; Having passed the 13+, I am able to teach the 11+ to a high standard.
