Hello, my name is Edden Fernandez. I am 24 years old, and currently teaching English subject in a private school for over a year now. I love to spend time with my friends, and one of my favorite things to do is play pretend school with them. I enjoy helping them learn new things, like spelling words, solving puzzles, or even teaching them songs. I feel happy and proud when I see them understand something because of what I taught them! When I grew up, I dreamt of becoming a teacher because I love sharing what I know and helping others learn. I think teaching is such an important job, and I want to inspire kids to do their best. When I’m not teaching students, I have a lot of hobbies that keep me busy and happy. I love playing table tennis because it’s so exciting and keeps me active. I also enjoy writing stories, especially about fun adventures and inspiring characters. Reading novels is another favorite of mine—I love diving into new worlds and learning from the stories I read. I graduated from Innovative College of Science and Technology in 2023 with a Bachelor of Secondary Education, majoring in English, earning my diploma and Latin honor. My academic journey has been deeply enriching, equipping me with both theoretical knowledge and practical teaching skills that align with the demands of modern education. Throughout my years of study, I cultivated a strong passion for teaching the English language, focusing on developing students’ communication skills and critical thinking.

I am a BSc Mathematics graduate from the University of Leeds. I offer a friendly approach to tutoring maths from GCSE to A-Level (I can also offer support to University students doing a maths/maths related subject). My goal is to help students become more confident in their mathematical abilities and learn to love the subject just as I do. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and ask any questions, I am here to help.

I can tutor English (Language, Literature, and/or Creative Writing) at any Key Stage (my speciality is GCSE but I'm happy to teach at lower years, or A-level too). I have ESL student experience and am trained in TEFL. I have experience and training in tutoring for retakes, GCSE retakes specifically. I studied Creative Writing in the English faculty of the University of Winchester at Undergraduate and then the University of Exeter at Postgraduate. I achieved the highest grade in both, and will soon be pursuing an English PhD. I have trained in TEFL and general English tutoring as well, as well as training specifically in tutoring English GCSE.

I have completed my Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics at the University of Birmingham. Currently, I am studying as a postgraduate in PGCE Secondary Mathematics to become a fully qualified maths teacher at the end of this academic year. Over the course of teaching maths, I have thoroughly enjoyed encouraging and helping students to engage with the subject. My students have completed their studies not just doing well in their GCSEs, but have explained that they actually find more enjoyment and understanding in the subject. Throughout our sessions, I will use various problem solving methods to encourage students to think and explore different ideas that we will learn. This way, pupils are a lot more prepared for the interesting and challenging problems that appear on their test papers! I look forward to teaching you and growing your confidence and success in mathematics! I have graduated from the University of Birmingham with a Bsc Mathematics degree. Currently, I am studying for my PGCE in secondary maths in order to become a fully qualified maths teacher with QTS. As well as mathematics, I enjoy music and arts. I have sat the LAMDA and piano examinations up to grade 8 and bassoon exams up to grade 6.
