Our daughter warmed to Jyotsna immediately and she has been a great help. Our daughter went from having complete mental blocks to writing 13 pages in the final exam!

GCSE - English Literature/Language A Level - English Literature/Philosophy My name is Jyotsna and my interests are in philosophy, reading and writing, hence why I want to teach the lot! My teaching style is mostly discussion-based - almost like Socratic questioning. I believe this helps ideas and concepts stay in your mind for longer, as the student is the one that has to do the intellectual heavy lifting. I have just started the first year of my philosophy degree at the University of Durham, after having completed English Literature and Philosophy A-Level. I have tutored a GCSE English student before and have also led KS3 philosophy society, where we have discussions based on the A Level Philosophy syllabus (Utilitarianism, Kant’s deontological ethics and Aristotleian virtue ethics).

I’m a first-year medical student at UCL, and I studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-level (plus an EPQ), achieving 4 A*s, as well as all A*s at GCSE. I know how challenging these subjects can feel, so I aim to make things clearer and less overwhelming. In my lessons, I focus on helping students actually understand the content rather than just memorising it. I like to break topics down into simple steps and explain things in a way that makes sense for you. I also help with exam technique, so you know how to use what you’ve learned to get the best grades. I completed my secondary education at Colchester County High School for Girls (CCHSG), a selective grammar school, where I studied from Year 7 through to Year 13. During this time, I achieved all A*s at GCSE and went on to take A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics, alongside an EPQ, achieving 4 A*s. This gave me a strong academic foundation, particularly in the sciences and maths. I am currently a first-year medical student at University College London, where I continue to build on my knowledge of Biology and Chemistry in much greater depth, as well as applying problem-solving and analytical skills developed through Maths. For tutoring, I specialise in GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Maths. Having gone through these exams myself, I understand both the content and the exam techniques needed to achieve top grades, and I’m familiar with common areas students struggle with.

I’m currently studying Health Sciences at the University of Worcester, progressing onto a Physiotherapy degree, which has strengthened my understanding of how people learn, communicate, and develop confidence. I completed my GCSEs and A-levels at a grammar school, where I built strong academic foundations and effective study habits that I now help students develop themselves. Alongside my studies, I’ve played rugby, which has developed my teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills — qualities I bring into my tutoring style. I also have ADHD and dyslexia, which has given me a strong understanding that every student learns differently, allowing me to adapt my teaching approach to suit individual learning styles and support students who may lack confidence or feel overwhelmed. I also have a strong interest in music production, which has helped me develop creativity, patience, and problem-solving skills. I aim to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence in their abilities. I attended Gravesend Grammar School after successfully passing the 11+ entrance examination, where I studied from Year 7 through to Year 11 before continuing into the Sixth Form. At GCSE level, I completed Higher Mathematics, English Language and English Literature, Geography, Physical Education, Business Studies, French, and Higher Combined Science. I achieved Grade 7s and strong passes across my core subjects, including the sciences, English, Geography, and Physical Education, with Grade 5s in my remaining subjects. I then completed A-levels in Biology, Psychology, and Physical Education, developing a strong understanding of human science, behaviour, and performance. Following my A-levels, I applied to the University of Worcester, where I am currently in my first year studying Health Sciences and progressing onto a Physiotherapy degree pathway.

Hi I am Frank! I am an inspiring TEFL teacher looking for tutoring work before I go abroad this autumn to teach. I am a friendly, knowledgeable and engaging teacher. I focus on helping students understand complex concepts through clear explanations, engaging discussions, and exam-focused revision strategies. I always create a calm, supportive environment where students feel confident asking questions, tackling tricky topics, and improving their grades. I’m reliable, well-prepared for every lesson, and genuinely passionate about helping students achieve their GCSE potential. I attended the University of Kent, Canterbury, where I earned my BSc (Hons) in Anthropology with First-Class Honours. In my third year, I studied abroad at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, developing cross-cultural communication skills. In my fourth year, I received the Davis Prize for the best final-year dissertation in the Ethnographic Research module. I've also completed a comprehensive TEFL certification, training me in lesson planning, grammar instruction, and breaking down complex ideas into clear, student-friendly explanations. My specialisations include critical thinking essay structure, and humanities topics like culture and society—making me well-equipped to support GCSE students effectively

Hello. I'm Debs, nice to meet you. I tutor a range of subjects, all based on experience of teaching within school, college and less tradiitional settings. I love tutoring one to one as that is the best way to give the student exactly what they need. I teach Sociology, Business and English at GCSE and A level and I have experience of AQA and Edexcel exam boards. I have also taught Btec Business level 1-3 In 2023 I completed a Master's degree in Philosophy as I love learning new things just as much as I love to teach. I make learning fun wherever possible and tailor every lesson to the student's needs. I use a variety of methods so you won't get bored and I am always happy to answer questions and re-explain things. There's no such thing as a silly question! I appreciate people who try, no matter what their ability is, and i love seeing people achieve things that they never dreamed they could. Let me help you do that. Outside of work I enjoy reading, working on my allotment and making art and fabric items which I sometimes sell at craft fairs. MA in Philosophy Level 5 Education and Training Diploma Level 7 Diploma in business administration. BA Humanities (comprised of modules in Philosophy, History and Literature) University certificate in Social Sciences A level English, Sociology, Psychology 8 GCSE all at grades A-C
