James M.

My name is Mark Sean A. Manubag, and I hold a degree in Chemistry. For the past two years, I’ve been teaching and tutoring high school and college students, mainly in math, chemistry, and physics. I love making complex topics feel simple and approachable for learners at different levels. As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and goal-oriented. I believe in guiding students step by step until they feel confident in themselves. One of my strengths is breaking down difficult concepts into clear, relatable ideas. Seeing students progress—from struggling on quizzes to celebrating their own achievements—is what inspires me to teach. My teaching style is interactive and student-centered. I enjoy connecting lessons to real-life examples, whether through cooking, music, or everyday situations, so that learning feels both meaningful and fun. I’ve found that when students can relate to a topic, they learn faster and remember it longer. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading, exploring different genres of music, and learning languages. At the moment, I’m studying Italian, which helps me stay in touch with the challenges of being a learner myself. That perspective allows me to connect more deeply with my students and encourage them to see learning as a lifelong skill. Teaching, for me, is about helping students discover their own potential. I want my learners to not only improve their grades but also develop the confidence and curiosity that will benefit them well beyond the classroom. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. During my studies, I gained extensive training in laboratory instrumentation, including GCMS, FTIR, AAS, and UV-Vis, and completed internships with the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines, the Department of Agriculture – Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and the Philippine–Japan Active Carbon Corporation. My undergraduate thesis focused on the spectrophotometric determination of phenolics from plant extracts, which strengthened my background in analytical chemistry. After graduation, I successfully passed the Philippine Licensure Examination for Chemists in September 2014. Alongside my academic journey, I began working as a freelance tutor between 2012 and 2014, supporting high school and college students in mathematics, chemistry, and other sciences. Many of the students I taught came from institutions with advanced science and math programs, while others needed help building foundational understanding. Through one-on-one lessons, I developed a teaching approach that emphasized patience, step-by-step guidance, and real-life applications, helping students not only grasp concepts but also build confidence in their own abilities. This tutoring experience deepened my passion for education and showed me the impact of making complex topics simple and engaging. I take pride in seeing students’ progress—from struggling on exams to achieving strong results. Teaching continues to be a meaningful part of my career, complementing my professional work as a chemist by allowing me to share knowledge and inspire curiosity in the sciences.

Hi, I'm Adam a recent graduate from Loughborough University, where I completed a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering and achieved First Class Honours. I grew up in Manchester, attending a state school before studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Business Studies at A-Level. Teaching Ranges: Maths – Primary to A-Level (including Further Maths) Physics – GCSE to A-Level Business Studies – GCSE to A-Level Additional Information and teaching style: - Experienced working with students of different learning styles and abilities - Focus on building understanding, not memorisation - Encourage real-world examples to make lessons engaging and relatable - Encourage conversation and talking through problems instead of reading methods Degree Qualification: MEng Aeronautical Engineering – Loughborough University (First Class Honours) A Levels: Mathematics – A Further Mathematics – A Physics – A Business Studies – A* Key Achievements and Extracurricular Activities: - Chaired the Loughborough Volunteering Section with over 2,000 members, leading community projects and mentoring students - Volunteered over 500 hours whilst at University - Represented the university in Badminton competitions - Completed a Master’s research project on crash impact analysis using advanced simulation and engineering tools - Regular runner, baker, and climber, always up for a challenge or trying something new I attended Co-op Academy Failsworth, where I developed a strong foundation in maths and science and achieved 11 GCSE's (Grade 8 in Maths), before moving to Clarendon Sixth Form College, studying Maths (A), Further Maths (A), Physics (A), and Business Studies (A*) at A-Level. I then completed a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Loughborough University, achieving First Class Honours. My studies covered advanced topics in maths, physics, and engineering, with favourite modules including Structural Design, Spacecraft Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and Gas Turbine Design. These strengthened my problem-solving, analytical, and numerical skills, which I now enjoy passing on through tutoring.

I have been tutoring with GoStudent for six months now, having formerly worked at museums, churches and summer camps. I enjoy working with children and am a current Sunday-School teacher and former volunteer with several youth charities. I also have two years of classroom experience with Years 2 and 3, but am happy to work with children of any age, teaching English, Maths, History, Latin, and RE. Please note I do not take adult learners at this time. I am a graduate of the University of Cambridge with a first-class degree in History, also having taken papers in Classics and Theology. I won several prizes during my degree, including three prize scholarships and the Roy Porter Prize for History in my second year. Prior to my degree, I took three A-Levels in History, Maths and English, receiving all A*s, and prior to that, ten GCSEs, receiving all 9s.
