Citizenship Tutors : 1-1 Citizenship Preparation

Hi there! I’m Paul, and I’m a double-major in Political Science and Economics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Having grown up in Hong Kong, whilst being french, to now moving to the U.S. for college, I love new adventures and experiencing new things.

With a strong academic foundation — 11 A*s in IGCSEs and 42/45 predicted in the IB — I know what it takes to excel in challenging curriculums. My experiences have taught me the importance of building a solid understanding of concepts before tackling advanced problems. Whether it’s mastering exam techniques or bridging knowledge gaps, I focus on building confidence and clarity to help students reach their highest potential.

Beyond academics, I enjoy running, watching formula one, and reading up on world affairs/politics/news.

Hello, my name is Simon Hackett , and I’m an experienced tutor, Director at 4 Life Education alternative education provision, and ex Deputy Head at a vocational education setting. I’ve spent many years working with children and teenagers who haven’t quite found their place in mainstream school—and I know from experience that with the right support, the right approach, and a bit of patience, every young person can thrive.

I specialise in working with children who may have additional needs, struggle with behaviour or confidence, or just learn better in a different environment. I teach a range of subjects, including Maths, English, Construction, Sport, and life skills, and I always adapt lessons to suit the individual child. Whether your child needs help catching up, finding their confidence, or re-engaging with learning altogether, I aim to build a positive relationship first, because learning starts when a child feels safe, understood, and supported.

As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your child is in the right hands. I bring a calm, consistent, and encouraging approach to each session, and I keep communication open with families every step of the way. My sessions focus not just on education, but also on building your child’s confidence, self-esteem, and resilience. Every child learns differently, and I’m here to find the way that works best for yours.

Hello! I’m Lorna. I’m a dedicated and approachable lecturer who believes that every student has the potential to succeed when given the right environment, encouragement, and support. I work hard to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging learning space where students feel comfortable asking questions, expressing ideas, and growing both academically and personally. My teaching approach is interactive and focused on real-world connections, helping students understand the relevance of what they’re learning. I believe that strong communication and trust between lecturer and student are key to a positive educational experience. I continually seek to improve my teaching practices to ensure that I provide high-quality, student-centered learning that inspires confidence, curiosity, and independence.

Hi

As a tutor, I bring a kind, caring, and empathic approach, deeply rooted in the belief that every child holds unique potential waiting to be nurtured. My practice is centred around developing individual capacity, confidence, and self-esteem through creative play and a Steiner-inspired educational philosophy.

I take time to understand each learner’s needs, designing a bespoke hidden curriculum that gently weaves academics and a natural problem-solving approach into meaningful, engaging experiences. This approach is especially supportive for children facing behavioural or personal challenges.

My goal is to foster a sense of curiosity and critical thinking, encouraging students to explore, question, and grow at their own pace—building not just knowledge, but a genuine love of learning.

Kind Regards,
Anthony.

Beyond my academic background in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, I am deeply passionate about fostering engagement and curiosity in learning. My experience as President of the Debate Club and participation in societies such as PPE Football, Debate Society, and PPE Society have sharpened my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly—an essential skill for tutoring.

Additionally, my involvement in Manchester’s Kabaddi and Kho Societies, where I competed in regional and national tournaments, has given me a strong sense of discipline, teamwork, and resilience—qualities I bring into teaching. Organizing and leading initiatives, such as the Diwali Ball during my tenure as Vice President of Manchester Hindu Society, has reinforced my ability to manage and inspire groups effectively.

I am eager to bring this enthusiasm and strategic mindset to tutoring, helping students navigate their learning journey with confidence and curiosity. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my diverse interests and experiences can support student development.
