Hello! My name is Hikari.
I have more than Six years of overall teaching experience. After completing my master’s degree, I aspire to become a full-time teacher. During this time, I have taught a wide range of courses, including GCSE Economics, GCSE Business Studies, A/level Economics, A/level Business Studies, Eiken, Business English, and conversation.
As soon as I graduated from school, many students approached me to tutor them in Economics and business studies. I then began tutoring A/Level and O/Level Economics and Business Studies. All of the students I’ve taught so far have excelled in their Edexcel and Cambridge exams. Last year, one of my students won the subject prize.
During my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to study Economics at both the GCSE and A-Level levels, following the curriculum offered by prestigious examination boards such as Cambridge and Edexcel. I enjoy teaching Business Studies mainly. My experience in Economics has been enriching and insightful, allowing me to develop a solid understanding of fundamental economic principles and concepts. I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise as a tutor. With a passion for teaching and a strong grasp of economic principles, I am well-equipped to guide students through the complexities of the subject. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible parts, providing real-world examples to enhance understanding, and fostering critical thinking skills. I am dedicated to creating a supportive learning environment that encourages active participation and growth. By choosing me as their Economics tutor, students can expect engaging lessons, personalized attention, and the tools necessary to excel in their exams and develop a deep appreciation for the subject.
I worked as a full-time teacher at a reputable international school. In addition to full-time teaching, I spent nearly two years teaching volunteers, primarily Japanese students residing in Japan, as well as overseas communication and other skills. I have also earned three diplomas to provide my students with the greatest education possible. I continued to become a TEFL/TESOL certified teacher. Teaching has become my favorite place to share my knowledge and assist students in their growth.

Hi, I’m Maria!
I’m a 4th-year dental student at the University of Sheffield and a Biomedical Sciences graduate from Queen Mary University of London. With a strong academic background in human biology, physiology, and life sciences, alongside over 4 years of tutoring experience, I support students across GCSE, A-level, and university applications. I have helped students improve their grades, build confidence, and secure offers from competitive universities.

UCAT Exam Tutoring:
I provide structured UCAT tutoring, drawing on my own scores of achieving the top percentile. Since my own UCAT exam, I have tutored hours worth of preparation to students and further built on key tips and techniques for the exam.
I help students develop the strategies, timing techniques, and confidence needed to perform well across all sections of the UCAT with speed.
My approach is highly personalised, I adapt sessions based on performance and progress, ensuring students maximise their potential and approach the exam with confidence.

Biology Tutoring (GCSE & A-level):
I help students develop a deep understanding of key concepts while also mastering exam technique. My background in Biomedical Sciences and Dentistry allows me to explain topics in a clear, applied way, linking theory to real-life clinical examples where helpful.
My teaching focuses on understanding rather than memorisation. I break down complex topics into manageable steps, using diagrams, active recall, and structured explanations to ensure clarity. I tailor each lesson to the student’s needs, whether that’s covering difficult content, revising efficiently, or improving exam performance. I also incorporate exam-style questions and teach students how to structure high-quality answers, focusing on what examiners are looking for.

Medicine and Dentistry Applications & Interview Preparation:
I have over four years of experience supporting medicine and dental applicants through personal statements, interview preparation, and overall application strategy. During my own application cycle, I received 3 offers, and I have since worked with students applying to a wide range of universities.
This has given me a strong understanding of how interview styles and expectations vary, including MMI and panel formats. I help students develop strong, structured answers to common and challenging questions and build confidence in communication and delivery
My sessions are supportive but thorough, with detailed feedback to help students continuously improve and stand out as strong candidates.

FAQs

Read some of our most frequently asked questions and answers

What is Phonics?

Phonics is a method used to teach children how to read and write by focusing on the sounds that make up words. It involves teaching the relationships between letters (graphemes) and the sounds they represent (phonemes). By learning phonics, children can decode and spell words more effectively, which is a fundamental skill in developing strong reading and writing abilities.

How much do Phonics tutors cost per hour?

The cost of a Phonics tutor can vary depending on their qualifications and experience. Generally, private tutors charge between £30.00 and £50.00 per hour, with online lessons often slightly cheaper than in-person lessons

Can you take Phonics lessons online?

Yes, you can take Phonics lessons online! All of our tutors offer online tutoring, most of them through our state-of-the-art online classroom which has been built by us to meet all your needs.

How can I support my child when learning Phonics?

To support your child when learning phonics, start by reading together regularly. Choose phonics-based books that emphasise letter-sound relationships. Additionally, engage in fun activities like playing word games, using flashcards, and sounding out words in everyday situations. Lastly, provide a positive and encouraging environment, praising your child's efforts and progress to boost their confidence in phonics learning.
