Portugese Tutors : 1-1 Portugese Preparation

Hello! My name is Ana Vaz, I am a final year medical student at University College Dublin (UCD) in Ireland.
I have been in university for 7 years now, I did an undergraduate degree in Medical Sciences at University of South Wales, UK for 3 years, and then applied to the Graduate Entry Medicine program which have been 4 long but fast-paced and exciting years! Therefore, I understand how student life is challenging at times, draining even and that extra help may make a big difference! I received tutoring for almost every my big exams, for A-Levels, IELTS, CAE (another english exam), GAMSAT and USMLE Step 1 (a very hard exam to apply to residency in the USA).
To tell you a bit more about myself, It was not always my dream to be a doctor, I only fell in love with Medicine when I was in secondary school, when I realised that being a doctor is a life-long contract of acts of service, where I am constantly being challenged academically, professionally, and emotionally. Every day is different. I never quit, I just try different approaches when something does not work, and I always do my best in everything I get involved with.
I am an aspiring Paediatric Surgeon, having done sub-internships in Paediatric Surgery at Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital in Cardiff, UK and also at Yale Children’s New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, USA. I am part of UCD Paediatric Society, having been appointed Teddy Bear Hospital Coordinator for the year 22/23 and I am also a Surgery Skills Tutor and Conference Officer at UCD Surgical Society.
I have worked as a Residential Assistant at UCD Residences, having to manage 56 apartments and I worked as a Carer in Cardiff with Helping Hands.
On my free time I love to watch Netflix (who doesn’t?), read, go to the beach and hike. I am also a cat-mom.

Hi, my name is Neil Hedge, and I’m a qualified teacher and experienced tutor of English and Mathematics. I hold a Mathematics degree from Hull University and a PGCE from Manchester, with more than ten years of teaching and tutoring experience across GCSE, A-Level, and school entrance exams.

I’ve successfully supported students preparing for top UK independent schools such as Eton, Rugby, Haberdashers, and Merchant Taylors, as well as guiding pupils through 11+, 13+, and GCSE preparation. I also have extensive experience in helping students overcome learning barriers, ensuring they gain both confidence and exam-ready skills.

My teaching style is supportive yet challenging: I create structured learning plans that target weaknesses while stretching strengths, and I place a strong emphasis on clear communication with students and parents. I make full use of modern online teaching tools to ensure lessons are engaging, interactive, and tailored to exam specifications.

I’m committed, reliable, and dedicated to helping students achieve their full potential. Over the years, many of my students have secured excellent results, with several winning scholarships and places at prestigious institutions.

Hello there! My name is Fabiana and I am a masters student studying Creative Writing at The Open University in England. I have recently completed my undergraduate degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, also at The OU.
My passion for books and writing began early in life. I have always journaled and wrote for pleasure, not to mention the endless hours buried in a good book. I don’t have a preferred genre – I like a good story, but I found myself in awe when I first read Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Most people see it as hard work and boring, but if you look closely, it’s like a puzzle! I’m about to get carried away here…
I live with my partner and three energetic Maltese dogs in a cosy cul-de-sac in Buckinghamshire, where I make the most of my quiet study no matter the weather outside.
