I am basically a B.Sc.-qualified technical person who became a language teacher while working as a computer programmer/systems analyst in Switzerland. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. I have been tutoring online for over 5 years, working for such organisations as Berlitz & the British Council. I live near Durham, UK, and have a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. I teach regularly online & face-to-face and the languages taught are English, French, German & elementary Arabic. After many years in French-speaking Europe, north Africa, the Arabian Gulf, Chile & central Asia, I now live near Durham, UK, and have had a very wide range of student types, ranging from young learners under 10 to mature business people learning a language for their retirement. Although language teaching is my main activity, I can also teach PC windows-technique, Microsoft utilities, and a few GCSE subjects. My EFL (English as a Foreign Language) specialities are IELTS preparation for both Academic & General Training candidates. After O/A-levels and completing an Ordinary National Diploma in Engineering, I chose to do a Computer Science degree at N. Staffordshire Polytechnic because it was possible to study French intensively alongside. This meant that the 3rd (industrial) year had to be spent in a French-speaking country and in my case that was Switzerland, where I spent a year at CERN in Geneva. To become an English language teacher I obtained the CTEFLA in Geneva in 1995 and went on to study for the DELTA.

My name is Shandana Wahid. I am 18 years old and study Politics, International Studies and German at the University of Warwick. I am an experienced tutor with over 1.5 years of teaching experience in economics and politics. I have 10 GCSES, from grades 8-6, including maths, business and triple science. My experience at a grammar school enables me to use interactive, effective teaching methods to help my students improve their grades. I achieved an A* in A-Level economics, an A in A-Level Politics and a B in A-Level History. My teaching style centres on each individual student's needs, with a series of structured, goal-oriented lessons. As a tutor, I am patient and supportive, guiding students to their absolute best, inspiring hard-work. Please do feel free to get in contact with me if you have any questions. I did my GCSEs at Wallington High School for Girls, A Levels at Westminster City School, and am now an undergraduate student at the University of Warwick, studying Politics, International Studies and German. At A-Levels, I studied Economics (A*), Politics (A), and History (B)

I'm a second year Biomedical Science student at Queen Mary University of London with over two years of tutoring experience, mainly teaching GCSE Maths and Science. I also tutor A-Level Biology and Edexcel A-Level Maths, tailoring each lesson to suit the student's learning style and goals. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence, improve their understanding, and achieve their potential in exams. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy expanding my knowledge of science and medicine, and I'm working towards a career in healthcare. I aim to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. My degree has strengthened my analytical, problem solving, and communication skills while reinforcing my passion for science and education. My lessons are carefully planned and interactive, combining clear explanations with worked examples, exam style questions, and regular practice to build confidence and improve exam technique. As a university student, I am familiar with the latest specifications and assessment styles, allowing me to provide relevant and up-to-date support. My aim is not only to help students achieve excellent grades but also to develop their independent learning skills and foster a genuine understanding of the subjects they study. Academically, I achieved excellent GCSE results, earning 10 A*-As across all subjects, including Further Mathematics, before going on to study A Levels in Biology, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Having recently completed these qualifications myself, I understand the challenges students face and the techniques needed to succeed in exams. Alongside my studies, I have over two years of tutoring experience teaching GCSE Mathematics to both Foundation and Higher tier students. Through this role, I have helped students improve their confidence, strengthen their understanding of key concepts, and achieve their academic goals.

Hi! My name is Lucy and I'm 22 years old from the North East. I am currently completing my Masters in Developmental Psychology and have a deep interest in education and teaching.
