I am an Economics student in the middle of my degree at Royal Holloway University of London. I have 5 years of tutoring experience and which has allowed me to develop my method of teaching a lot. My hobbies consist of playing and watching football and basketball. I have recently become very interested in playing golf and producing music also! I went to secondary school at Reading School, where I had to take the 11+ to get in. I did my GCSEs and A-Levels here. I went to Royal Holloway University of London after my A-Levels. Here I am currently studying Economics. I did do the new GCSE (9-1 grading system) for Maths and achieved an 8.

My name is Giada, an Italian expatriate in the UK for 7 years. I hold a degree in Forensic Science. My passion for learning fuels a desire to share knowledge, embodying a blend of cultural richness and scientific curiosity. I embrace challenges with a positive mindset, making every experience an opportunity for growth. I love adopting different teaching styles according to the students and their specific needs. I teach various subjecs such as Biology, Chemistry and Italian to students from the ages of 10 to 25+. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy spending my time practising yoga, reading books and volunteering. I have struggled with anxiety and have been always a bit of a perfectionist, therefore I have personal experience with how it feels to want to achieve the best one can, and I try to give some help and advice to students from this point of view as well. I have helped students with ADHD and dyslexia achieve great results in their university exams and coursework, therefore I have an awareness of how these conditions affect each individual differently and how to try and tweak my teaching style accordingly. I am a graduate of Abertay University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Forensic Sciences in 2021, achieving a 1st class degree. Throughout my four-year course, I demonstrated a strong commitment to academic excellence and was recognised with prizes for outstanding achievements in both biology and chemistry-related subjects. My Biology knowledge is strong across all exam boards and I have a particular interest in Genetics and Molecular Biology. During my time at Abertay University, I served as the Class Representative for two consecutive years, actively contributing to the academic community and fostering communication between students and faculty. This experience honed my leadership and organizational skills. Engaging in the Research Volunteer Scheme (of a chemistry-based project) provided me with invaluable practical experience in applying the research process. This training enhanced my understanding of the scientific method and its application in real-world scenarios. As an Online Peer Mentor, I supported new students on their academic journey, demonstrating my dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. In my dissertation, I delved into the intricate realm of mRNA and miRNA, showcasing my in-depth knowledge of these molecules alongside DNA in both general biology and forensic biology. This research experience not only expanded my understanding of molecular biology but also sharpened my analytical and investigative skills. Overall, my academic journey at Abertay University has equipped me with a solid foundation in forensic sciences, complemented by hands-on research experience and a commitment to academic and peer support. I am eager to apply this wealth of knowledge and skills in teaching younger generations. I have been working in industry ever since. I possess academic as well as professional application of biology and chemistry knowledge. I am Italian, therefore I can offer Italian lessons to English speaking students. My experience in tutoring has been mostly with my peers (ages 18-22), however, I have also gained experience with children from ages of 8 to 17.

I'm Sophie, I am 24 and I come from the Highlands of Scotland. I am an experienced tutor with three years experience on this platform alone with experience of tutoring privately and volunteering. I teach various subjects such as History, Biology, Human Biology, and English. I am extremely experienced in helping students build up their confidence and capability for their exams. I have personal experience with the SQA exam board but I have equal capability in teaching my subjects to other exam board standards and to students of any age and level. Outwith tutoring, I enjoy spending my time reading books, walking my two dogs and playing video games on my Xbox. Levels and Subjects: I teach National 4 and 5, Higher, Advanced Higher, GCSE and A-level for History, English Language and Literature, Biology and Human Biology for SQA, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, iGCSE. SEND Experience: I have autism and anxiety which allows me to understand students who may be experiencing similar issues that I faced in school. This allows me to share knowledge and learning techniques that better suit neurodivergent students. I have worked with students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism so I have an awareness of how these conditions affect everyone differently and can support the student accordingly. I have recently graduated from the University of St Andrews with a joint Masters in Ancient History and Medieval History (2:1). I have Advanced Higher qualifications in Biology (B)and History(A) and have Higher grades for Human Biology (A), P.E (A), Chemistry (C) and English (A) along with a National 5 qualification in Maths(B). Alongside my expansive range of History subjects I have studied at university, I have additionally studied Classics, Arabic Culture and Astrobiology. I am well versed in Ancient Roman and Greek history along with Medieval Europe, but I am equally knowledgable and capable with teaching more modern history topics. I am well read and have studied and taught the majority of texts required for English literature, with my favourites being 'An Inspector Calls' and 'Macbeth.' My Biology knowledge is strong across all exam boards and I have a particular interest in Astrobiology. Further I am very experienced with children from ages of 5 to 17, I volunteered for multiple sports groups in my area as a Sports Leader to run clubs and have gained an SQA recognised coaching qualification for netball.

I am a dedicated and highly competent educator who is passionate about helping students reach their full academic potential. I believe strongly in creating a safe, supportive and intellectually stimulating learning experience for my students as a way to help them develop confidence in their abilities. My approach to teaching involves building a mutually respectful relationship with my students, finding out the specific areas where they need help and tailoring the learning experience to their needs. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, spending time with loved ones, reading and playing chess.
