My name is Monica and I have just graduated from St. Andrews with an MA in history and social anthropology. I always loved history and indeed still do. I choose to study anthropology because my English teacher got rather annoyed at my consistent questions about the characters' lives. "Just go study anthropology then" - and that is what I did. I am have graduated with a further masters with distinction in the history of Scotland and am moving onto a PHD this October. I love being able to combine my two passions in one degree. I try to explain it as anthropology giving an understanding of the present and history of the past. The marriage of the two academic subjects is interesting, indeed. For example, for my dissertation in the School of Anthropology looks at the community in Glasgow in 1...

Preferred Student Age Groups Am happy to tutor primary/ GCSE/ A-Level, as well as students or adults who have English as a Second Language. About me I love to travel, explore new places and meet people from different cultures. I spent ten years living in Athens, Greece where I worked as a private tutor: teaching TEFL to a wide variety of people - from complete beginners to students wishing to take Cambridge Proficiency exams in order to access UK universities. I have a BA Hons degree in Modern Languages: English/French with a module in Classical Greek Language and Literature. I believe in stress-free lessons , and learning in a relaxed setting. As a tutor I am not there to add pressure, but to help take pressure off. In terms of hobbies, I love reading, writing stories, and watching Turkish TV dramas. I am also a huge tennis fan. Last, but not least, I enjoy all forms of sugar - especially cake! Aside from my degree, I am qualified to teach TEFL. I really enjoy working with those who don't have English as a first language. It's a thrill to help them improve their speaking and listening - as well as reading and writing skills. It's wonderful to see them grow in confidence when expressing themselves in English. Furthermore, I am qualified to do proofreading. This fits in well with teaching English. I also have a certificate in Counselling Skills.

Hello! My name is Rifnas Siyathdeen, and I am a dedicated tutor with 10 years of teaching experience supporting O/L and A/L students. I help learners build strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and academic confidence across their subjects. I have taught students following UK Local, several USA State syllabi, Cambridge, Edexcel, American, and Indian CBSE curricula. I believe every O/L and A/L student can succeed with the right guidance and encouragement. That’s why I use real-life examples, visual aids, interactive activities, and step-by-step explanations to ensure students truly understand concepts rather than memorizing them. I’m patient, friendly, and committed to helping students move from confusion to confidence. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, motivating, and tailored to each student’s individual needs, and I look forward to supporting you in achieving your academic goals. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce and a Master’s Degree in Accounting. I also hold a TEFL certificate, which has strengthened my ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt my teaching to students of different backgrounds and language levels. Over the past 10 years, I have developed professionally by tutoring students from various academic systems. I have also supported students with mild Autism and ADHD, which has taught me how to adapt lessons to match each student’s individual learning style and abilities. My educational background, combined with hands-on experience, allows me to simplify complex concepts and teach in a way that truly connects with learners, helping them gain confidence and succeed in their studies.
