Tor-Ivar K
Highly experienced Self Defence tutor

I am especially experienced with collaborating with students and parents to find what is most needed for the child, but also have many years of experience teaching large classes of martial arts with both children, teenagers, adults and seniors present. I believe good teaching is gained with strong communication; I therefore take the time to do a ā€˜debriefā€™ with both student and (if applicable) parents/guardians post lesson. For that rea...

Aazaad S
Energetic Self Defence tutor
I have recently graduated from the University of Leeds with ambitions to start a Ph.D. in Physics. I received an average of a first in the Maths modules I completed during my degree and a high 2.1 in my Physics modules; I received an Upper-Second Class overall. The modules I chose to study over the course of my degree were taken to simultaneously challenge myself academically and also to allow myself to have knowledge of a wide scope of subjects in order to be a more competent teacher. Multivariable calculus, matrices and operators, statistics, modeling, and linear regression are some of the mathematical...
