Lower level: Spanish GCSE level: Spanish A-level: Spanish Exam Board Experience: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Cambridge (Pre-U & IGCSE), Spanish: Undergraduate University Level (Spanish D3 at A-level) Preferred Student Age Group: GCSE, A-level About Me: Currently studying Spanish & International Management at the University of Bath, following a gap year where I travelled around the UK and Africa. Alongside this I worked as a vaccinator for the NHS. I am a passionate sportsmen, specifically surfing, golfing and tennis. Studied at Oundle School from the age of 13 through to the end of A-levels, indulging in sports and the arts. I've used tutors throughout my time at school, to gain a deeper understanding of the subjects in which I was passionate. This gives me a strong basis to tutor and I know the varying current curriculums very well. Throughout my gap year I volunteered in a private wildlife reserve in Southern Namibia, where I learnt many skills and developed as a person. I hope to be able to help out in any way that I can!

I am a recent graduate in Economics and Politics from the University of Manchester. My work history includes hospitality, pizza delivery and baby sitting as well as a summer internship as a campaign aid and assistant to Sir Ed Davey. I’ve decided to remain in Manchester after my graduation to work and save up enough money to go travelling next summer. I found it really rewarding to build meaningful connections with kids I’ve looked after during my time babysitting. Sports are my main passion as I play multiple times. Alongside my final year of studies I ran a departmental football team for my university and currently play three times a week. I also play pick-up basketball quite regularly and have recently started playing padel once a week (would highly recommend, it’s very fun). Outside of sports, I am a self-proclaimed foodie. I enjoy cooking complex and elaborate meals especially when it’s for other people. I’m well travelled having visited a plethora of countries in all the continents bar South America and Antarctica. In my spare time I also enjoy reading, going on walks in the peak district and playing video games with my friends. On top of my interest in politics, I am very interested in history. the history of warfare. Over the past 3 years, when not at university I have lived in South London with my parents, little brother and our labrador Bella. I look forward to meeting all my future students and sharing my enthusiasm for all my chosen subjects. I started my primary school education in Stockwell before moving to Streatham Hill in year 1 where I was placed at Hitherfield. During year 5 and 6 I was fortunate enough to be tutorted myself in 11+ entrance exams for multiple grammar schools across london. Despite being offered multiple scholarships I opted to go to Dunraven Secondary School where I obtained my GCSE’s getting one 9, three 7’s including maths and english, five 6’s and one 5. During my time I also learnt how to play the saxophone achieving a grade 5 and also completed an ECDL course. I then was granted a place at Dunraven Sixth Form to complete my A-levels. I studied Economics, Business and Politics achieving A,A,B respectively. These results helped facilitate my place to study (BA) Economics and Politics at the University of Manchester where I studied for three years. In July 2024 after much hard work, I graduated with a 2nd class honours completing my academic journey thus far. I would describe my specialist areas as being economics and politics however I am well versed in business as well having my own personal interests in the subject having studied it as an A level. I also feel well adept to teach 11+ entrance exams. Having been on the other end of it I understand all the frustrations and feelings students will have towards their revision at a time where it may be difficult to see the bigger picture. I’m sure I can use this understanding to help my students maintain determination and grit.

About Me: Hi, I'm Evie, I have worked as an assistant and supply teacher for children of all ages, though I prefer to teach primary and secondary aged children. I'm a very relaxed person and am happy to adjust my teaching to the way each student works best. In my spare time I enjoy physical hands on hobbies, like baking, playing the keyboard, cross-stitch and dance. What I teach: Lower Level: Science, Geography and History GCSE: Biology, Geography and History A-Level (IB): Biology & History Exam Board experience: - Edexcel - AQA - OCR I have A levels in Biology(B), Tudor History(B)and Geology(A), and I will be attending The university of Leeds in September for Environmental Sciences. I am on the younger side, so I'm very familiar with the current expectations on students taking GCSE's and A levels, as well as the resources they have available. Something I think is essential to being able to connect with and teach the current curriculum to students.
