Hello! I’m a recent graduate who has just finished my final year exams for a Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Business Analytics. I have a strong passion for mathematics and statistics, and I’m captivated by the fascinating field of data science! I also have experience teaching primary and secondary mathematics, which stems from my passion for the subject.

With a strong foundation in both theory and practical applications, I’m eager to share my expertise and help students navigate the exciting landscape of Mathematics, English and other key subjects. My academic background has equipped me with a deep understanding of statistical methods, data analysis, and the art of transforming raw data into actionable insights, which I hope to share with the students I teach.

I am dedicated to creating a learning environment that not only imparts knowledge but also makes the journey enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

Offer from Cambridgeoffers from top 10 universitiesOffers from global law firmsOffers for vacation schemesOffers for Training ContractsAchieved 9 A* equivalent at GCSEsA* A* A* at A-LevelFirst-class with distinction in dissertationhigh 2.1 from Cambridge

Hi there!

My name is Ruairi (think roar-ree). I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge with, among other things, a first-class with distinction in my dissertation on public policy. Throughout my time at Cambridge, I have taken papers spanning development, economics, law, and policy. I am combining the knowledge and skills I gained during my undergraduate degree to become a corporate lawyer at a global, Top 20 AM Law firm.

In the meantime, I would like to tutor you! I have thoroughly enjoyed tutoring in the past and believe I can help you excel in a wide range of subjects. I would also be more than happy to help with applications and interviews, be that to universities or to law firms. More generally, I can give you advice on navigating college/sixth form, university, and the corporate world, based on my past successes (and failures!).

Outside of academia and work, I like to watch Arsenal and international rugby. I am also hoping to get back into gym and kickboxing in the new academic year, as well as jewellery-making.

I hope to hear from you soon – please do reach out if you are interested!

Hello, my name is Ariana Rubio. I am a recent graduate of the University of Oxford (2023), where I achieved a high 2:1 in English Language & Literature. I scored in the top 10% (55/60) on the ELAT (admissions test for English) and performed well at interview to win a place at Oxford. I am currently teaching English abroad and applying for master’s degrees in English.

At secondary school, I got 11 A*s at GCSE, including English Literature, English Language, Maths, and Additional Maths. I got an A* in English Literature A-level and D1’s (above the A* equivalent) in History and Philosophy Pre-U’s. I won the Prize for Outstanding Academic Achievement, which is awarded to the top scholar in the year, in Years 11, 12, and 13.

Alongside maintaining my high academic standards, I have tutored for a number of years. I volunteered as a homework tutor at my local library from 2015-2019, helping students in years 1-11. As an academic mentor at my school, I tutored younger students in English and History from 2017 to 2019.

I am eager to tutor students in English, History, and Religious Studies/Philosophy at GCSE and A-level. I would especially like to assist aspiring Oxbridge applicants with personal statement, ELAT and interview preparation.

    Hi, I’m LucyAnne! I’m 23 years old and I live in London. I work as an actor and freelance singer, and also part-time as a teaching assistant and a tutor.

    I studied History, English, Music and Biology at A Level (3 A*s, 1A) and, while at school, also gained two diplomas in French Horn (LRSM and DipABRSM) alongside Grade 8 Singing (ABRSM) and Verse & Prose (LAMDA), Grade 7 Piano (ABRSM) and Acting (LAMDA) and Grade 5 Music Theory (ABRSM). I then undertook a BA in History and English at Oxford, during which time I was awarded two scholarships for academic achievement. Since graduating in 2021, I have also gained an Acting Diploma from the London School of Dramatic Art.

    I absolutely loved my time at uni, and while at school I was lucky enough to have some amazing teachers that showed me how fun learning can be. I would love to be able to inspire others like I was inspired.

    My hobbies include cooking, reading and going on walks around my local area looking for cats to stroke!

    Offer from CambridgeOffer from BristolOffer from WarwickOffer from EdinburghOffer from Birmingham

    Hi, I’m Izzy. I have just finished my 2nd year studying English at Clare College Cambridge. I took A-levels in English Literature, Politics and Music as well as completing an EPQ. I currently hold a music scholarship at Cambridge and was awarded a prize in English for my 2nd year dissertation.

    Having worked at Cambridge open days I would love to help prospective students more directly with the university application process. Whether you are looking to boost your marks in your GCSEs or just need some help perfecting your grammar, I would love to help you out! Having received 5 university offers, I am familiar with what an application needs to be competetive. However, more importantly, as a tutor I would love to help foster a love of English language and literature in my students.

    Outside of studying I love singing, particularly recording and touring internationally with the Choir of Clare College.
