Phonics Tutors: 1-1 Phonics Preparation

I am an experienced tutor who aims to make learning fun and rewarding. I started tutoring while I was studying my degree and discovered that I loved it! After completing my degree, I started tutoring privately and then joined tutoring companies such as Explore Learning and Catch Up Academy.

I tutor English, math and science from KS1 up to KS3 in person and online. I also tutor 11+ (GL and CEM) and GCSE Maths where I work to prepare students for the exams. I specialise in tutoring people who have SENDs needs or require to be home schooled. I will ensure that the student’s needs are met during the sessions and I am flexible when it comes to tutoring. I can also support you with developing coping strategies, build confidence or finding different approaches when it comes to learning or taking exams.

My goal to provide a safe and encouraging learning environment where the student has accomplished their goal by the end of the session. I will also support students to build their confidence, learn from mistakes and to apply their knowledge. I will always provide feedback at the end of every session so the student is kept up to date on what they’ve accomplished.

I completed an AS Level award in English Literature and A Levels in History, Psychology and Art and Design. I then achieved a 2:1 in BSc Applied Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University in 2014. In 2018, I successfully completed a PGCert from the University of Birmingham in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions, and in 2021 I qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.
I am a creative-thinking and motivated individual looking for a new challenge to broaden my horizons. I have previously worked as a psychological talking therapist, and I am also a qualified secondary teacher with extensive experience in schools; which has led me to my current role as an SEN tutor for adolescents who are refusing school attendance. My role is to provide them with the emotional support and encouragement needed to return to school, as well as helping them to learn and revise all curriculum material needed to pass their exams. I relish the opportunity to build positive relationships with others, as this is what motivates me, and I love to see meaningful changes which lead to bright futures; as a result of the work that myself and others have put in. I believe that in order to overcome any challenge, the first step is to identify the barriers to change. This requires the development of trusting relationships with students, as well as their parents and key staff members at their enrolled schools. Once these barriers are identified, we are able to collaboratively come up with a tailored plan to integrate students back into school.

I got to Cambridge without the help I needed, and that is why I am now dedicated to alleviate the same panic, stress and pressure by being a mentor and guide to many aspirants. I am a third-year law student and I know first-hand how confusing and intimidating the process can feel when you do not have guidance, and I have spent the past two years turning that experience into a clear, structured system that helps students succeed. I specialise in Law admissions, LNAT preparation and Oxbridge interview coaching, with consistent results across Oxbridge and Russell Group universities. My approach goes beyond grades and model answers. I focus on strategy, confidence, and how to think under pressure, so students walk into exams and interviews calm, prepared and in control. I offer a complete, supportive package and take genuine pride in seeing students exceed what they thought was possible.

Hello!
My name is Dara and I’m a 4th Year Medical Student at the University of Southampton. Education is something I love and commit a lot of time and effort towards, but I also love help making change. I am enthusiastic about tutoring and helping other students thrive and reach their academic goals, whatever that may be! Whether it’s getting into Medicine, or University, or passing their Math’s GCSE, I hope I can help in any way! Outside of school I have a lot of other passions and hobbies, I love to keep fit and run, but also play sports such as Football. These things teach me so much about the world and I hope to pass on that knowledge. I believe the core to success in life is balance, and being able to juggle all aspects of life

I have ranked #1 in my Medical School Exams at my university, received A*A*A* in my Maths, Biology and Chemistry A-levels.

I hold an Upper Second Class Honours in my Master’s degree in Pharmacy and have been working in various pharmacy settings since the age of 19. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience across both NHS and private healthcare sectors, including placements and roles in general practice, hospital pharmacy, and community settings. This diverse exposure has enabled me to develop a broad, flexible, and adaptable skill set, while significantly strengthening my clinical knowledge. Working in multidisciplinary teams and caring for patients from a range of backgrounds has also enhanced my communication, leadership, and decision-making skills. These experiences have given me the confidence and competence to thrive in complex clinical environments and deliver safe, high-quality pharmaceutical care.
