Physics
Rhys Street
I am studying physics at university, a subject often seen as being 'applied mathematics'. Through this, I plan to gain a greater understanding of how the world works as well as a broader range of knowledge that will be useful in any future career paths I take.
In my GCSEs, I achieved four grade 9s (A*+), two grade 8s (A*) and four grade 7s (A).
In Sixth Form, I decided to continue with my passion for learning while challenging myself with four A-levels: Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics, achieving ABBA respectively.
During my GCSE and A Level experiences, I noticed the significant impact of teachers who adopt a more personalised teaching approach compared to teachers who simply read off of a screen. It is abundantly clear that having teaching tailored to a student is much better for their academic progress, and granted, this can be very difficult to achieve in an ordinary classroom. As a tutor, I aim to personalise my teaching and find the best way for my students to learn, to enable them to achieve their academic goals.

Biology
Jeanna Thompson
I am at university studying Earth and Planetary sciences, where I plan to obtain a bachelor of science degree before moving onto a master's degree with my interests focused in planetary science and volcanology.
At secondary school I achieved 10 GCSEs grade 7-9 including a 9 in Further Mathematics, Biology, and Geography. Additionally, I have 4 A levels at grade A-B in Geography, Biology, Mathematics, and German.
I would take pride in tutoring my students to achieve their greatest potential and help them feel more confident in their studies. Furthermore, I have personally had many years of tutoring in the past to help with my A Levels and because of that, I understand the benefit of tutoring and how best to tailor lessons to suit a student's ability and needs.

Chemistry and Biology
Davina Mathis
I am currently enrolled at university studying towards my master's degree in Biomedical Sciences (with a year in industry), a 5-year programme. I am excited to expand my knowledge in areas such as anatomy, microbiology and pharmacology.
After my degree, I am hoping to further my education and obtain a PhD.
At GCSE level, I achieved 9A*s and an A; 6 grade 9s (high A*) including Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. I studied at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge and achieved A*AAA in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and EPQ respectively. This was possible due to the hard word and the constant excellence I strive to achieve.
As a tutor, lessons will be tailored to meet individual needs. Using my recent and first-hand experience of both the GCSE and A level programmes, I will be able to support students to achieve their potential in a nurturing environment.

Shaw Chiba
I am at university studying Earth and Planetary Sciences. However, I am currently looking at changing my programme of studies to an engineering discipline having discovered that I greatly enjoy physics and mathematics.
My secondary school qualifications include 10 GCSES from grades 6-8 with 8s in Science, Geography, and Mandarin. Having greatly enjoyed GCSE science, I decided to take Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at A Level and achieved A*A and B respectively as well as an A in Geography.
I have experienced both sides of the tutoring partnership, having thoroughly enjoyed helping fellow students and also received tutoring alongside taking my own studies. Both, I believe, contributed to my exam successes. Through my understanding and helpful nature, alongside breaking down complex subjects, I hope to enable students to achieve their goals. I am also a firm believer that asking questions and being curious is highly rewarding and therefore encourage tutees to raise any issues or queries.

Physics, Chemistry and Biology
Noya Alegeh
I am currently at Imperial College London studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Through my studies I am developing a strong understanding of how modern technology systems work; from fundamental circuit design to advanced problem solving and analytical thinking.
I achieved 9A*s and an A in my GCSEs: 8 grade 9s (high A*s) including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. At A-Level I achieved A*A*AA in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry respectively. My strengths lie particularly in Maths and Physics, where I developed strong quantitative reasoning skills and a clear approach to problem solving - essential for exam success.
As a tutor I specialise in supporting students in Mathematics and Physics at GCSE and A-Level. Having recently completed these qualifications myself, I understand both the content and the exam techniques needed to achieve top grades. I focus on tailoring each lesson to the student; breaking down complex topics into simple steps, and adapting my teaching style to suit each student’s individual needs.
I aim to create a supportive, engaging learning environment where students feel confident tackling challenging problems and can steadily improve both understanding and exam performance. Whether the goal is helping overall confidence or achieving top grades, I am committed to helping each student reach their full potential.

Emily Moffat
I am studying Biomedical Science at university pursuing an Integrated Master's programme. I am really interested in how cancer works and its interaction with the immune system. I plan to pursue a PhD in cancer biology after I finish my current course because I am fuelled by continuously wanting to learn and understand how things work.
My secondary school qualifications include 9 GCSEs from grades 8-9 including Triple Science, English, Maths and Further Maths. I also achieved 1 GCSE at grade 7. At the end of my A Level programme of studies, I achieved AAAB in Chemistry, Biology, EPQ and English Literature respectively, at Hills Road, Cambridge.
I strongly believe that tutoring is an invaluable resource for shaping a child's education, as it allows for personalized attention tailored to their unique needs and learning styles, in a way that a traditional classroom setting cannot. Over the past year, I have volunteered at a homework club for primary school children, an experience that has been both insightful and rewarding. I am confident that the skills I have gained will enable me to effectively support my tutees in their learning journey.
As a tutor, I strive to be enthusiastic and patient, creating a supportive learning environment where each student can grow in confidence and develop a work ethic that will help them reach their full potential.

Tayla Dean
I am a first-year university student, studying Pharmacy with an integrated Masters degree.
I received an A*A*A in my A-levels for Maths, Chemistry and Biology respectively and wrote
10 IGCSEs, attaining 7 A*s and 3As.
I have always had a very keen interest in science subjects, from logically solving Maths
equations step by step, to learning about how the body functions in Biology.
My A-Level Maths teacher inspired me to become a tutor with his love and passion for
teaching. I realised the impact a good tutor could have on someone and their attitude
towards the subject. I strongly believe that when you enjoy a subject and what you are doing,
it becomes easy and that’s when students really reach their full potential. A good teacher is
key for this, thus my motivation to help inspire young students, just as individuals have
done for me in the past.
As a tutor, I will mentor young students by doing lots of practice questions, past papers and
overall making the content easier to grasp by using relatable examples. It is additionally
important to create a safe environment for learning, where mistakes and questions are
welcome, as well as tailoring the teaching to the student’s needs.
