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

I have worked as a lecturer at De Montfort University for over 15 years. I hold a PGCE in further Education, an MA in English Language Teaching, and a BA honours in English. I taught English for Academic Purposes at university. This enabled me to develop various teaching approaches at different levels of English usage. I have also taught KS3-KS5 in the UK and abroad during which I have been observed several times and demonstrated that I was outstanding. I have used various teaching aids ranging from pictures, flash cards, to a variety of IT techniques. I have also used peer interaction and assessment to develop learners. Teaching at university enabled me to teach presentation skills. This has enabled me to do the same during training, coaching and mentoring sessions with colleagues. I have mentored a number of tutors. In my experience as a university lecturer I have used a variety of online platforms to teach students during the Covid-19 pandemic. I began my journey into English in 2002 when I did a BA (hons) in English at Demontfort university. Following this I did an MA in Children’s Literature in 2005 due to my immense love of reading. However, it was only when I landed a job at a resources centre that I decided to specialize in teaching and so I did a PGCE in education and an MA in English language teaching both in 2007-2009. I absolutely love teaching since then - as cliche as it sounds it is truly my passion and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I love my students and to see them excel truly makes me content. I’ve been told that I have a gift for building a rapport with learners and I to feel this is something that comes naturally to me because as a student I myself struggled with being misunderstood and branded as a ‘bad student’. I feel as a result I can relate to students and their struggles more easily. I’m also very patient and an excellent listener.

Levels & Subjects: Primary: Mathematics GCSE: Mathematics (AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR) Experience : Taught GCSE and Primary Maths for 3 years Hello, my name is Pelumi and I recently graduated from a Masters in Investment Banking at Queen Mary University of London. The reason I chose to study this because it included using a lot of technical and problem-solving methods, it also included a lot of Mathematics which was one of my favourite subjects at school. I would say Algebra is one of my strong areas and I completed the Level 3 Edexcel Algebra award in secondary school. When I teach I primarily use a lot of worksheets and exam-style questions which will help the student improve on the subject and feel better prepared for any upcoming exams. If a student is struggling to understand a concept , I use diagrams, videos and allow them to have more practise until they are comfortable with the topics. Preferred subject: Maths Preferred student age group: GCSE My hobbies include reading, travelling, drawing, exercising and I love food and music!
