Hello, my name is Helen and I have a BA degree in Criminal Justice Studies from Bradford University. The degree's main subjects were Criminal Law, Psychology, and Forensic Science. My hobbies include watching football, playing tennis, reading, and walking my dog. I have been an online tutor for 3 years. I have taught as an ESL tutor. During this time I have taught people of various ages and abilities. I create a positive learning environment. I personalize learning and create lessons that respond to students' interests. I equip students with the confidence and skills needed to incorporate technology into English language classrooms and for future jobs and life in general. I regularly assess the progress, strengths, and weaknesses of my students and by doing this, I help them fill gaps in their knowledge and learn best. I have a TEFL certificate worth 120 hours of study. I also hold GCSEs at grade C or above including English and Maths. I also have 4 A - levels including History and Geography and a degree, which I finished in 2003. I celebrated graduating by going to the US.

I'm Ejiro! I'm currently studying engineering at The University of Strathclyde. I grew up in Aberdeen. My hobbies include documentaries, nature walks, and martial arts. I am keen to teach maths, physics, and chemistry as I gained Advanced Highers (A-levels) in these subject areas. I have completed SQA curricula at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher. At National 5 (GCSE) I did biology, chemistry, engineering science, English, history, Latin, mathematics, and Physics. At Higher (AS-level), I studied: business management, chemistry, engineering science, mathematics, and physics. At Advanced Higher (A-level), I did chemistry, mathematics, mechanics, and physics. I achieved an A in every subject at all levels. I graduated secondary school as the second highest advanced higher performer in mathematics as well as achieving several academic awards along the way. I currently study mechanical engineering at university and I have been placed on the dean's list of high performers twice so far.

I'm in my final year of university, but during my time have tutored in GCSE English and Maths! Learning should be a fun experience and I try to make it as enjoyable as possible - getting to know my students as well as possible, i.e. how they best learn, what they enjoy doing etc. has been a recipe for success so far in my tutoring experience and something which I continue to do with my students on here!

I'm Joe a, final year politics student at the Univeristy of Liverpool. During my time at university and before I've enjoyed tutoring originally only in person but for the last three years with GoStudent, aside from this, I'm currently involved with multiple societies such as the Ski, Badminton and Pool societies. Moreover, my interest in politics and social sciences is not confined to my degree, I enjoy reading on these topics outside of the University reading list, particularly history. Through this variety of interests, tutoring is something which simultaneously benefits from them and aids them by expanding my own understanding of these topics. Therefore tutoring is more akin to a hobby than a job for me due to my enjoyment of it. Throughout, my academic career I have enjoyed a wide range of subjects. originally my interests were only in history, and although this is still a favourite, my areas of knowledge have grown more varied. For instance, I'm now studying politics at university, which has been a great eye-opener. Furthermore studying politics has brought me into contact with more areas of study such as economics, media, business and geography. However, I have studied all of these to varying levels before university. My interest has led to me attaining a 2:1 grade each year of study. Moreover last year I spent a year in industry at Liverpool City Council putting the theory into practice further adding to my understanding of all the subjects mentioned above. Finally, tutoring has only added to my academic knowledge, they say the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else, and I'm certainly a believer in that.
