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).

Hello! I'm a tutor for GCSE Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Curiosity is so important to me - seizing opportunities wherever possible and always willing to try out a diverse and novel range of experiences. I also apply this mindset to the world of academia. I'm a strong believer that learning across disciplines teaches you one of the most important skills: understanding how someone else thinks. If you've had to deconstruct complicated concepts in a variety of subjects you quickly become adept at understanding where a person is getting stuck. I meet you where you're at. No skipping forward. We identify the gaps. Fill those gaps properly. And build from there. There are very few students who lack ability, they've just not had something explained to them in the right way yet. Another big part of my job is building confidence. Learning how to trust your own judgement and rationale. How to ask the right questions. How to stop panicking and second-guessing yourself during exams. You already have the knowledge, you just have to realise it! I studied Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics at A Level and AS Level - so the subjects I tutor are ones I've lived and breathed through exams myself, not too long ago. I know the syllabuses well. At GCSE, I achieved 13 A*s across a broad range of subjects including Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English Language, English Literature and Geography, among others. I was also awarded a prize for Citizenship and Academics as Best in Year. Outside of the classroom, I've always looked for ways to stretch myself - whether that was competitive debating, mentoring other students, or delivering weekly talks to school students and hospital staff linking science and medicine with real-world issues. I also earned Gold (Best in Year) in a UK Mathematics Trust-style competition. More recently, I've applied that academic foundation to some pretty varied things - from building mathematical models to address housing challenges, to achieving a top ~0.02% award in an international essay competition.

English Durham University student | Tutor for GCSE and A-level English Literature and GCSE English Language EXAM BOARDS -AQA, IGCSE, EDUQAS FREE CONSULTATION In the free 30 minute consultation I will ask for a recent piece of work and provide: - Discussion on the student's strongpoints and areas for improvement - Essay feedback - Suggested focus for future improvement - Suggested material/skills as focus points - Discussion with the pupil on what they feel they would want/need to focus on APPROACH My approach to tutoring is to identify and subsequently focus on the pupil's areas for improvement as well as to foster confidence and engagement by recognising their progress and areas of strength. I accomplish this through regular testing such as through exam questions and short quizzes. After each lesson, I send a progress report of the pupil. LESSON DETAILS - I offer remote/online lessons only - 1 hour lesson slots - £15 per hour Please contact me if you are interested in my tutoring services. At Sixth Form, I attained AAAB in English Literature, Psychology, Business Studies and Religious Studies A-Levels. Through balancing four A-Levels along with my revision, I have become more adept at organisation and multi-tasking. I also achieved an A* in my EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) in which I concluded that 'real women' lack representation in textual philology owing to the dominance of male writers thus the voicelessness of Ancient Greek women is mirrored in their lack of power over their presentation in Greek myth. This project has allowed me to specialise my analysis of the presentation of women in literature through going back to its origins, this is especially useful as gender is a very common and pervasive theme in literature from GCSEs to A-Levels. Now, I am undergraduate at Durham University where I study English Literature where I am able to read and analyse captivating texts. Over the past year, I have spent some of my free time helping students improve so that they may get to whatever next step that may be for them. Due to my degree having low contact hours, I am quite flexible in when I can schedule tutoring hours.

Hello, my name is Alex. I am a first year student studying Economics at the University of Leeds. In my spare time, I like to play football, as well as go to the gym and go out with my friends. I also enjoy watching football, and I support Manchester United. I have tutored 6 different students over the past 2 years for GCSE maths, with a variety of skill levels, but all of them achieving their target grades or higher. I went to Sir John Lawes School for both secondary school and sixth form. I achieved 5 8s and 5 9s in my GCSEs and A* A* A at A level. I’m now studying Economics BSC at the University of Leeds. I have always been passionate for maths and it has been both my strongest and favourite subject throughout my entire school life. I won the KS3 maths award.
