Tara B.

Languages: B2 German, English Native Speaker Canadian Highschool Diploma: English 30-1, Math 30-1, Biology 30-1, Chemistry 30-1 Bachelor of Arts in Ministry with a double major in Outdoor Leadership Preferred age group: any I grew up in Canada, but I have recently moved to Germany with my husband where I am learning German, and hoping to study soon. In Canada I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry, with a Major in Outdoor Leadership. I worked in this field for a few years, but eventually found myself drawn to the business and financial side of things in the organization that I worked for. In the future, I would like to pursue education and work in business and finance. My favorite hobby is being active in the outdoors. I enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking, and almost anything else that gets me outside and being active. I also love to relax with a good book on a quite day or evening. My other qualifications are not particularly connected to tutoring. I am certified to teach a number of adventure activities. I am a Top Rope Climbing instructor, certified by the ACMG, I am a level 1 Mountain Bike instructor, certified with PMBIA, OCC Hiking Field Leader, and I also took an 80 wilderness first aid course. These things give a bit of a picture about what I am interested in, and what I have pursued learning about or teaching in my life. Tutoring is new to me, but I do have a lot of experience with teaching and instructing in an outdoor context. I think I can easily apply my outdoor instruction and facilitation skills, to tutoring.

I have been teaching English online for over three-years now. This has included English as a foreign language and GCSE/ A level English literature and language. I graduated last year with a first-class degree in English literature and Language in Cardiff University and received a scholarship in my second year for being the best performing pupil in my cohort. English teaching has long been a passion of mine and my role has evolved to encompass academic writing support, something that I feel should be taught in school and is sought after by examiners across all exam boards. My students always achieve their goals through hard work, regular tutoring and lots of writing practice! I am currently a part-time Master's student of a TESOL and Education programme in Cardiff and my intention is to lecture this subject in the near future after my PHD. Alongside my own studying, I volunteer at an asylum-seeker charity 4 hours a week teaching adults basic skills such as digital literacy, English communication and life skills. I am also responsible for about 4 young learners who I have taught consistently over the last three-years. Please read some of my lovely pupils' comments about their online tutoring experience with me below: -

I am ideally looking for GCSE/National 5 level pupils at the moment. I am a 5th-year medical student at University College London (UCL). In 2022, I gained a first-class honours degree in Immunology, Infection and Cell Pathology at UCL. I was additionally awarded the David Katz Project Presentation Prize for my Neuroscience research project at the Francis Crick Institute. I have attended seven schools in four countries (Munich, Berkley, Los Angeles, Tokyo, St Andrews), which gave me a wealth of experience with different educational systems. Prior to starting university, I worked for two years as a laboratory intern in one of the world-leading virology laboratories at the University of St Andrews, focussing on novel vaccines and antiviral treatments. I am bilingual (English and Russian), and also fluent in Japanese. I am a qualified Japanese-English translator and have worked as an online translator for many years. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and had been a first-team captain of both the UCL medical women's team and the London inter-university teams. My strong academic background in mathematics, science, and languages, combined with my passion for helping students learn and achieve their goals, has resulted in a proven track record of success in tutoring students of all levels. - First-class honours degree in Immunology, Infection and Cell Pathology at UCL - Advanced Higher: Maths (A), Biology (A), Chemistry (A), English (A) - Higher: Maths (A), Biology (A), Chemistry (A), Physics (A), English (A), Russian (A), Economics (A) - A-level: Japanese (A*) - Certified LTA Line Umpire - Commendation of full colours for United Hospitals Lawn Tennis Club Women’s Captainship (2022) - Nuffield Research Certificate - Gold CREST Science Award - Tie for International Recognition in Science - UCL MBBS Commendation for Presentation on “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” (2020) - UCL MBBS School of Immunology and Infection Best All Round Participation Prize (2022) - UCL MBBS School of Immunology and Infection David Katz Project Presentation Prize (2022) for Neuroscience project at the Francis Crick Institute
