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

Preferred student age group: Primary and Secondary for Mathematics Secondary/Sixth-form/College for Biology About me: I am passionate about making subjects like maths and science fun and accessible to all! I study Biomedical Science and am hoping to get into medical research and diagnostics soon! Apart from academics, I love rock music, gaming, reading and am a trained Indian Classical and Contemporary dancer! I am a third year Biomedical science student at Aston University and am hoping to get into medical research. At the moment I am completing my placement year in the NHS to gain registration as a biomedical scientist! At A-level, I studied Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology. At GCSE level, I studied triple science so have knowledge of that curriculum too.

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.

GCSE: Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics (Triple and Combined Science) Exam board experience: AQA/ Edexcel/ OCR Experience with: KS2/ KS3/ KS4 Languages: English, Italian Exp with disabilities/special needs: none Preferred student age group: GCSE level About me: I am a Biomedical Engineering graduate with a First Class BEng (Hons) degree, currently pursuing my Master's degree at Imperial College London. My academic journey has deepened my passion for maths and science, and I love helping students discover how these fascinating subjects connect to everyday life. During my A Levels, I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Italian, achieving strong results that led me to my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Beyond academics, I enjoy music, art and languages, which help me bring creativity and varied perspectives to my teaching. I have over 7 years of tutoring experience in maths and science, working with students from primary school level through to GCSE in both one-to-one and group settings. I have also worked in secondary schools as a supply teacher and teaching assistant, which has given me valuable insight into different learning styles, the curriculum, and classroom dynamics. This experience has strengthened my ability to adapt my teaching approach to meet each student's individual needs and learning pace. Teaching has always been a great passion of mine, and I'm committed to helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps that make learning both effective and enjoyable. I hold a First Class BEng (Hons) degree in Biomedical Engineering, where I developed a strong foundation in mathematics, sciences, and engineering principles. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London. Studying at such a prestigious institution has further enhanced my expertise and kept me at the forefront of developments in STEM education. During my A Levels, I studied Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Italian, achieving the grades needed to progress to my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. I also hold 12 GCSEs, which gives me a thorough understanding of the curriculum and what students need to succeed at this crucial stage. My academic journey has equipped me with extensive knowledge of exam requirements and effective study techniques, which I apply directly to help my students achieve their goals.
