Numeracy Tutors : 1-1 Numeracy Preparation

Hi! I’m Eleanor and I’m in my third year of studying Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford. I’m from Newcastle in the North East of England and I completed my A-Levels in Psychology, Mathematics and History at a state school. I started tutoring whilst in my second year of Sixth form for a family friend, before starting online in my first year of uni.

Whether you’re studying for GCSEs, A-Levels, an admissions test or an interview, I understand how daunting it can be. I like to ensure my students are comfortable in tutorials and make sure they truly learn and benefit. I do this through collaborating with you and adapting my teaching to suit your needs. I’m also on hand to give advice about exams or university applications should you have any questions. The most important thing is to make sure you reach your full potential 🙂

Dear prospective students/parents,

My name is Haseeb! I am a 4th year student and soon to be graduate of Durham University, obtaining a 1st class degree in a masters of mathematics. I arrived at Durham having achieved the best possible grades in mathematics possible: a 9 and A* in GCSE maths and further maths, and A*A* at A-Level maths and further maths. However, this didn’t come easy – as a student at my local comprehensive school the education I received was lacking, and it was only until after moving to the local grammar school did I realise what I missed out on. A high-quality education should have no barriers, though, and it is my experiences with this that have led me to become a longtime mentor and tutor, pushing forward other students to study mathematics at higher education regardless of their background.

In my spare time, I am a qualified powerlifting coach and find a lot of joy competing in the sport! I am an avid reader and traveller, often combining both hand-in-hand. I have experiencing working in the financial sector and I often program in Python in my free-time, working on all sorts of projects both work and non-work related. I am happy to talk about any of these and how they’ve all had a part to play in my mathematics education.

I hope to speak to you soon!

Hi, I’m Varun

I currently study Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, having achieved near perfect grades in both IGCSE and IB. I have previously succeeded in both the BMO and come top 50 in the country in the BPhO, and I’m therefore perfect to tutor anyone to success in Maths, Physics and Computer Science.

Due to technology being a long-standing interest of mine (for the better part of a decade) I have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of topics, especially those that show up in personal statements and those ready to impress any admissions tutors. I have moderate to extensive experience in upwards of 10 programming languages, and experience developing in a wide array of fields in both personal projects and in a commercial environment.

I would love to assist those looking to ace their secondary school exams and/or university admissions so feel free to contact me if you would like my help.

My name is Youssef, and with over 5 years of comprehensive teaching experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of subjects ranging from biology and chemistry to physics and computer science. Specializing in various exam boards such as AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC, I ensure a tailored approach to meet the specific needs of my students.

In biology, I delve into topics like genetics, evolution, and ecology, igniting a passion for the natural world. Chemistry sees me elucidating fundamental principles like chemical reactions, atomic structure, and organic chemistry, making the subject both engaging and relevant to daily life. I conduct experiments and elucidate chemical equations to make chemistry tangible and applicable to everyday scenarios.

Physics, with its governing laws and principles, presents its own set of challenges. However, my comprehensive grasp of motion, forces, energy, electricity, and magnetism allows me to effectively guide my students through these complex topics. Through hands-on experiments and clear explanations, I aim to foster a deep appreciation for the laws that shape our universe. From Newton’s laws to electromagnetic phenomena, I strive to make physics both understandable and fascinating for my students.

Moreover, in the ever-evolving field of computer science, I bring my knowledge of programming languages, algorithms, data structures, and software development to the classroom. I have assisted my students in developing their coding skills and understanding the theoretical foundations of computer science. By nurturing their curiosity and encouraging exploration, I aim to inspire the next generation of innovators in this field.

My versatility as an educator extends to teaching English, where I enhance reading, writing, and comprehension skills, instilling critical thinking and effective communication abilities. With a solid understanding of grammar and literature, I empower students to become expressive writers and effective communicators.

With experience teaching students of various age groups, including those with ADHD and dyslexia, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and interests. My sessions are not only informative but also lively and engaging, incorporating activities like going over past papers to maximize results.

Outside of teaching, my hobbies include playing video games, listening to music, watching movies, and photography. Overall, my commitment, expertise, and adaptability as an educator shine through, as I strive to instill a love for learning and help students realize their full potential across all school levels, from primary to A-levels.
