Hi! My name is Raphaelle. If you want to make sense of the challenges in chemistry, maths, or biology, I am the right person to ask. Scientifically minded, I will give you the tools and techniques needed to understand and master difficult concepts that may seem obscure to you. I also enjoy expressing my creativity through playing the violin and painting watercolour, and these activities provide me with an outlet for my stress. I’m not the best at sports (I have zero coordination) but I still have fun even when making a fool of myself! As a tutor, I will not only share my knowledge and study techniques with you, but I will also endeavour to make my lessons interesting and engaging. Observing the improvements in my tutee's performance is the most rewarding part of tutoring. I firmly believe that excelling in a subject is a question of hard work, as well as confidence and self-belief; and I hope to inspire these qualities in you. I am 20 and I am currently a third year medical student at Newcastle University. I'm originally from France, but I grew up in Dubai, where I studied under the British curriculum. Although chemistry and biology were my two favourite subjects at school, I also enjoyed the challenge of maths and physics, where I achieved A* in my A-levels, and 9s in my GCSEs. I passed my ABRSM level 8 in the violin with a Merit and I have played the instrument for 10 years. I am fluent in French and English, and conversational in Spanish (CEFR level B2).

I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a Bachelors of Science in Biology, and am currently studying for my Masters in Molecular Biology. I have experience in scientific labs, manufacturing labs, and medical offices. I am now working towards my goal of becoming a clinical neuropsychologist where I will do my best to improve the quality of life of everybody I meet. Destigmatizing and helping those who suffer from mental health issues and addiction has long been a passion of mine. This has mostly come from my time volunteering at various mental health facilities, homeless shelters, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Reading with, tutoring, and just spending time with residents talking is how most of my time is spent at these facilities. I hope to make an impact on students I tutor while also learning everything I can from them. The physical and natural sciences have been my main focus but I maintain a strong interest in learning and teaching history, English (to non-native speakers), psychology, geography, and math.

Hallo! I'm a student at UCL pursuing a Bachelor degree in German, and an enthusiastic nanny based in London! I have experience tutoring children and adults, and I really enjoyed helping my students achieve their goals. Interesting facts! I successfully prepared one of my students for their admission at primary school in Austria. Also, my favourite thing about German is grammar, what's yours? I'm a volunteering addict, occasionally a pet sitter, and the founder of an organization which aims to drive social change in Romania. I'm in my first year at UCL studying German, I successfully passed the Goethe Zertifikat C1 exam in German in 2020, and I also won the first place at the National Modern German Olympiad in Romania. My experience also includes being part of a non-profit organisation from Romania as an English-German and Romanian-German translator for a magazine.

I am a German native and a qualified German/German Literature teacher for 17 years. I am familiar with a broad range of curriculums in England and Wales and also with the IB Syllabuses. I have a continuous track record within the teaching of English students and international students. My approach to teaching is supportive, friendly and empathetically, this is supported by my experience, skills and the drive to succeed.
