Special Needs Tutors : 1-1 Special Needs Lessons

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.

Hi, I’m Raul!
I’m currently in fourth year at BSMS. So far I have helped students with UCAT, BMAT, IMAT, HUMAT and with their interview techniques. I have taught students from all across the world – including places like Japan, Qatar, Poland and many students from the UK.

At A-level, I did chemistry, biology and English literature which I found worked well for the essay components of the course. Getting the right balance between revising for A-levels and applying to medicine can be difficult but it is important to remember that both need focus.

I’m have just finished a BSc in Global health at the University of Manchester as a year out of medicine. As part of the course, I spent the whole of January in Mumbai completing my own research project. The course was really relaxed and it was a needed break from the intensity of medicine. I’d recommend choosing a uni course with the option to intercalate in case it’s something you might want to go for down the line.

I have loved medicine and I know the journey there is long and it can be difficult to see the end, but it is worth it. The degree is engaging and the work is manageable. It’s been some of the best years of my life and it’s a joy to watch students begin the same journey.

Hi there! My name is Sophie and I’m a third year medical student at the University of Bristol. I did my A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Maths and sat the UCAT, gaining a score in the top 1% of applicants. I was interviewed by all 4 universities I applied to and achieved 3 offers from Bristol, Southampton and Sheffield. I’m always happy to have a chat about anything to do with the application process, life at medical school or anything else that you might be interested in!
In my most recent exams at medical school, I was awarded a certificate for my performance. I achieved A*s in both Biology and Physics at A-level, and was only one mark off an A* in Maths and got an A in Chemistry. In my GCSEs, I achieved grade 9s in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography, as well as an A in the FSMQ.
I absolutely love teaching people and watching them develop confidence in their skills. I completely understand the anxieties that come with studying for A-levels and applying for medicine, and am happy to give my tips for surviving the process.
Since starting university, I’ve begun taking salsa classes, as well as volunteering with several groups.
I hope to be able to watch you fulfil your potential and look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there, I’m Rabia!

I’m a recent graduate from Queen Mary University of London with a degree in Politics with Business Management and have over 8 years of teaching experience from Nursery to A-level in various subjects.

I have quite an interest in International Relations/Global Politics and enjoy linking current affairs with conceptual knowledge.

I love meeting new people and enjoy working together with students to help them achieve their personal goals in a tailored approach. Education is all about the journey and enjoying learning, and I aim to make your experience as friendly and enjoyable as possible.

I don’t believe in a singular methodological approach, and I do my utmost best to understand how you like to learn so that lessons are geared at helping you achieve the best marks in whatever exams you’re taking! 🙂

Learning doesn’t have to be scary!

I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a 2.1 in Philosophy and Theology. Prior to attending Oxford, I achieved A*A*A* in English Literature, Latin and Religious Studies, with 5 A*S, 4 Grade 9s and a Grade 8 in GCSEs.

For the past few years, I have been a private tutor which has also entailed mentoring young students and seeing them progress and achieving their dream spots at their universities. This has enabled me to build client relationships and to handle multiple concurrent tasks, since I balanced tutoring with my ability to thrive in Oxford’s rigorous academic environment. I also believe that I work well under time constraints and to meet deadlines, which is an ability that my time at Oxford has prepared me well for.

I am well-placed to provide tuition at 11 and 13+, as well as English Language, English Literature and RE GCSE, A-Level and degree-level tuition. I am also up-to-date on examination syllabi and the requirements needed for achieving top marks.

I have tutoring experience in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature, GCSE Religious Studies and Oxbridge Classics admissions. I also mentor students in application for Oxbridge Classics, as I changed degrees in my third year, and assisted a student in her successful entrance to Oxford for Classics via personal statement, interview/test advice and general information about the course and university life. Therefore, I am available to support Oxbridge Classics admissions.

I read a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at The University of Birmingham, graduating in 2005, which truly opened up my mind to life long learning! After my first degree, I worked as a research assistant for a consultancy, followed by becoming a teaching assistant in SEND schools in Birmingham. After which, I decided to take a PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) in 2009 at The University of Warwick. I have been working in education ever since, across a wide variety of settings: ESOL teaching in Thailand and online, a primary school teacher in Honduras, a SEND KS3/KS4 teacher in the UK. I currently teach GCSE and A level Sociology to students in the UK. I have also had a lot of experience delivering English language, English literature, PSHE, citizenship geography lessons and KS1 and KS2 English, maths and science.
I love to get to know my students and focus on connection, self esteem, confidence and personalised classes.
