Phonics Tutors: 1-1 Phonics Preparation

Hi! I am a second year medic at Lancaster Medical School. I am a bubbly, hard-working and friendly individual and will do the best I can in tutoring you. Here’s a little something that says why: throughout high-school I made sure to take up every opportunity to strengthen my skills as I could and there were many weeks where I would be volunteering 10 hours a week at 3 different placements; this wasn’t only placements in hospitals but also at language schools. This helped ensure my skills were more broader than those required for medical school.
I wasn’t always certain what my career path would look like, but the more time I spend at medical school the more sure I am on what I want to be, and most importantly who. I was given the opportunity to not just pursue a deeply loved passion of mine, but also medicine along side it! Yes, that’s right, this degree has helped me flourish as more than just a medical student, but also as a poet and a writer. It has encouraged me to believe that I can do much more than medicine and that I can be my own person within my career of choice. This is what I wish to impart in each and every one of you.

Hi, I’m Mamta, a first year medical student at the University of Birmingham.
I’m very passionate about teaching and have been tutoring for more three years, helping with personalised exam preparation and revision techniques based on first hand experience as well as supporting younger students with key skills.

I achieved 3A*s as well as 10 Grade 9s in my GCSEs, so I feel that I am able to draw upon my own experience to help students with the content covered as well as key revision tips. This includes creating a revision plan from the very beginning so that when it comes to exams, these are as stress-free as possible. I also find that frequent reviews of prior topics helps to really ingrain knowledge and means that it is more intuitive to recall or apply when it comes to practice questions.

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.

I am a first year BA Criminology Student with a passion for hopefully entering the legal profession post university. I was a straight A student at GCSE and at A level, I achieved ABC after self teaching my A levels due to being out of school for months because of surgery. For this reason, I have been inspired to start tutoring to support students like myself who are struggling in school or have missed school due to personal circumstances.
I believe that learning should be done in a fun, supportive and interactive environment. I have over 300 hours of tutoring experience in KS3 and GCSE level English, KS3 and GCSE Science and I have experience teaching the 13+ and 11+ curriculum also.

I have tutored over 30 students with various SEN and neurodivergent needs, I have made the learning process individual and accessible to them.

My name is Lizzie (she/her) and I am currently a final-year law student at the University of Cambridge (Queens’ College). I began tutoring four years ago as an A Level student and was consistently credited by tutees for my ability both to present complex information in an accessible form and to personalise my tutoring style. I have a superb academic record, achieving ten Grade 9s at GCSE, placing me at the top of the country, as well as three A Stars at A Level in English Literature, Economics and History. My academic success comes not from pure natural ability but from my diligence and determination, traits which put me in an ideal position to support tutees of all abilities with an approach based on harnessing their potential.

A strong belief of mine is that everyone can achieve their goals with the right direction, which inspired me to pursue tutoring at University. Volunteering for charities to provide admissions guidance to aspiring Oxbridge students allowed me to build a rapport with key individuals involved in the Oxbridge admissions process. These experiences honed my extensive knowledge of the admissions process and motivated me to begin sharing my expertise with tutees aiming to study law at Oxbridge. My excellence as a tutor is evident in the consistent success of my tutees in securing their top University choices, through a learning plan consisting of a mixture of legal workshops, analysis of legal texts, mock interviews and personal branding sessions, each designed to enhance the student’s confidence. Furthermore, I am an expert at supporting students in their LNAT preparation, having worked as one of the authors of an online LNAT resource platform.

My friendly nature and drive to go above and beyond expectations make me an ideal choice for a student looking for a tutor to prepare them for University admission to study law. Outside of academia, I hold a graduate position as a trainee solicitor at a leading US law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, am involved in musical theatre and volunteer as a welfare representative for students in my college.
