Nader A
Clear Explanations, Guaranteed Understanding
I am an Engineering PhD and an official teacher at Derby College, with over 11 years of experience teaching Maths, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, and CAD software such as SolidWorks. I have worked in both academia and industry, which allows me to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications and exam requirements. I enjoy teaching because I genuinely value helping students build confidence, think logically, and achieve results they may not have thought possible. I understand that many learners struggle not due to a lack of ability, but because concepts were not explained in a clear...

I have been teaching for 4 years, and throughout that time have taught AQA GCSE Chemistry, AQA GCSE Combined Science, and AQA A-Level Chemistry. I am an examiner for AQA Paper 2 Chemistry. This benefits my tutees as you know exactly what to write to ensure you gain maximum marks, to avoid wasting time in an exam. My lessons follow a similar structure of a retrieval activity to activate your prior knowledge and to identify any gaps, direct instruction to ensure you have a crucial understanding...

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic primary tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Maria R
Enthusiastic Spanish Tutor for A-Level and below.
I would make a great Spanish tutor for students of all backgrounds because I am a Native Spanish speaker and have great interpersonal skills. I gain a lot of satisfaction from helping students achieve their goals whether it be studying for exams or to brush up on their conversation skills for a Holiday.I would tailor my approach and lesson plan to the needs of the student. If for example they were studying GCSE Spanish I would use past papers and exercises as resources and examples of the type of activities and questions they can expect. I would then offer feedback on the answers they have given...

Anita S
Anita has adapted very well to my son’s learning needs and has approached the sessions in a way that is both structured and effective. We specifically asked whether she could teach him in a formula-like way, with clear frameworks he could follow in exams, and she has done exactly that.
My son has an EHCP, and Anita has been thoughtful in adapting her teaching to suit the way he processes information. She explains clearly, asks the right questions, and works at a pace that stretches him without overwhelming him. He feels comfortable asking questions in her sessions, which is very important.
She focuses strongly on exam questions and structure, especially the 40-mark question, and my son is already getting better at approaching this. She also sets homework, which helps reinforce the learning between sessions.
Overall, Anita has provided exactly the kind of structured, exam-focused support my son needs, and we are very pleased with the progress he is making in a very short period of time.

Had my first session with Peter on A-Level Maths mechanics and I'm genuinely shocked by how much I understood. He broke down every complex topic so clearly and in detail after just one lesson, I already feel so much more confident in A-Level mechanics

Alessandra P
I am very grateful for having that tutor over last 1.5 years. Alessandra was helping me with IB. She significantly helped me with Computer science, and hevaily influenced my ability to do my Compuer Science HL Internal Assessment, I wouldn't be able to complete it as good as I did without her supporting my understanding of concepts and computer-related terminology. Later she contributed to my understanding with CS concepts and contents, which improved my grades from 4 to almost 6, which was a valuable imporment for my grades. Alessandra is great in explaining concepts,helping to understand how to trace algorithms or write basic algorithms for ADTs, OOP and all relevant CS coding knowledge for IB syllabus. She is also very empathetic, attentitive to student's needs, responsive as a tutor and patient, which were crucial characteristics for me to stick with her as my tutor throughout the summer before DP2 and throughout DP2 as well. Alessandra wasn't just an awesome tutor from professional perspective, but she also was a tutor who could listen and relate to the student, lessons were extremely comfortable and were encouraging to coming back. Many, many Thanks to Alessandra for supporting me on IB diploma programme and especially before and during exam period!

Kwaku O
Kwaku is a fantastic tutor. My 15-year-old son says he’s the best tutor he’s ever had. He’s very flexible—if my son needs help with a different subject or wants to adjust the session plan, Kwaku adapts easily and is always incredibly helpful. He’s also very easy to build a rapport with.
We’re absolutely delighted with our tutor. Thank you.
