Engaging, expert and enthusiastic tuition of science.
I am a very approachable person. I have always been fascinated by science and have long enjoyed passing on my interest to numerous students, many of whom have been inspired to become scientists or medics themselves. I believe that one to one tuition is a hugely effective way to improve a student's performance. When I go through my own thought processes with a student as to how to answer an exam question, I really add value to the student's attainment. It is my philosophy that questions should really be approached as challenging yet fun puzzles. Learning to me is a lifelong joy. I regard myself primarily as a scientist, and my PhD was in mitochondrial bioenergetics, which was at the interface between chemistry, physics and biology. After my PhD I was a professional scientist at Leicester University doing research on the enzyme DNA Gyrase, which supercoils DNA. Astronomy is my hobby (together with playing the saxophone and observing frogs and newts in my pond). I have no other commitments beyond being a tutor, so can devote all of my energy to it. I achieved A Levels in Chemistry (grade A) Physics (grade A) and Biology (grade A) in 1980 at Southwell Minster Grammar School.

Mathematics and Biology tutor.
I am an experienced tutor, with a degree in Mathematics. My lessons are fun, fast paced and focused, and I am confident that we are going to be very productive. I love mathematics and after interacting with you, I will make sure that you love the subject as much as I do. I am convinced that the best way to master mathematics is through practice and less theory. Our goal is to achieve competence through maximum involvement and focus on the subject. I will not ask you to sit quietly by yourself and consume information, things will be different from the typical predictable classroom. In my experience in the last 5 years of teaching I have adopted the following philosophy of teaching mathematics: • A biconditional mode of communicating whereby as the tutor I pass on knowledge and have immediate ways of checking feedback i.e. simply giving exercises and checking in class during lesson time. • A mysterious or paradoxical way of looking at things i.e. before a chapter give some problem related to what I am to cover. This gives a nice start of a lesson or chapter which stimulates the learners to have a positive outlook to the subject at hand. Book a trial lesson and see for yourself.

I want to help students be passionate about their education, so they have self-motivation to improve. I mainly teach K-12 English, ACT/SAT test prep, and essay writing. But I'm also comfortable teaching many history, social science, and humanities subjects.

Kristen S.
United States Air Force Academy, Florida Atlantic University
USAFA grad, MD, and returned Peace Corps Volunteer who loves to teach & coach
I am a 2004 graduate of the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science in philosophy & humanities. After graduation from college, I joined the United States Peace Corps and, for two years, lived in a small village in the sub-Saharan African country of Zambia. While there, I collaborated with Zambian colleagues at the grassroots level to increase rural awareness of preventive health measures to protect against malaria and other common diseases. Upon my return to the US from Africa, I began tutoring, and continued to do so as I worked my way through medical school. Subjects of expertise include standardized test prep, reading & writing, and math. My medical school experience forced me to learn techniques for efficient retention of large volumes of information. I, in turn, teach students these techniques, thus helping them retain what they have learned. I graduated from medical school in 2017 and continued tutoring, now with an additional focus on coaching. I believe this is what makes me unique as a tutor. I help students define goals, establish habits, and create systems that support good habits. We troubleshoot as difficulties maintaining habits arise, and modify our approach accordingly. I love helping students find their talents and translate them into career paths, including helping students find and apply for relevant programs of study, and finding professionals in those fields to advise and inspire. My medical knowledge, specifically my interest in mental health and how it contributes to academic & other success, also informs my work with students. I’ve successfully helped students with interventions like vitamin supplementation, dietary changes, and medication compliance for ADHD and other conditions, and more. I’ve consistently seen big improvements in students’ ability to focus, follow through, and in so doing, feel better about themselves. Please reach out if I can be of help to you or your student!

Joshua P.
Cedarville University
Experienced K-8 Tutor Specializing in English and Reading
I hold my Bachelor of Arts in International Studies after learning about different cultures, religions, and people groups during my time at Cedarville University. That was the beginning of opening my eyes to how vast our world is, and gaining an excitement for understanding all of the diverse ideas and traditions that exist. This excitement for learning is something I still hold on to, and look to share with each student I meet. Since graduating in 2015, I have discovered a passion for teaching, specializing in English and Reading. This passion started during my five years of working with an afterschool program for elementary age students in my community, where I learned the value of truly listening to each student. My desire to meet students at their level and help them excel has only grown bigger, as I have spent the past four years tutoring students around the world in English and Reading through different online platforms. These experiences have molded my teaching philosophy: recognizing the individuality of each student. I look to weave their hobbies and interests into the subject material, helping to build a personal connection to the material. This approach not only creates enthusiasm but also instills a sense of value in them. Throughout each tutoring lesson, I vocally encourage each student's strengths, while internally taking note of areas where they can be challenged to grow in the future. My goal is to support each student in the way that works best for them. I am happy to collaborate with the adults in their lives, so that each student can receive the support they need, and continue forward in their educational journey. Please reach out with any questions, or let me know if you're interested in scheduling a tutoring lesson.

Ashlyn K.
Trinity College Dublin
Experienced High School tutor passionate about helping students reach their goals!
Hi, I'm Ashlyn! I'm a fourth-year student majoring in Economics and Political Science with minors in Sociology and Philosophy. I have always been passionate about education and the transformative power it holds. Tutoring allows me to contribute to the academic growth of individuals, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I believe education is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love for learning. As a tutor, I aspire to inspire and empower my students to reach their full potential academically and beyond. I have one year of teaching experience in a classroom; I taught High School English and Math in Nepal where I was the primary teacher for classes of 20-25 students. Further, for the past four years, I have been private tutoring High School students online. I work with students one-on-one for SAT/ACT test preparation, college applications, Algebra, Calculus, English, and Social Studies. I absolutely love the individual relationships I can form when tutoring one student at a time. I'm aware each student has varying academic goals and learning styles, so I tailor my teaching approach to fit the needs of each individual student. For each student, I curate a personalized curriculum to teach the material they need to know in a way that works for them. By creating a supportive and engaging environment, I aim to create a safe space for students to ask questions, explore concepts deeply, and develop a strong foundation in the subject matter. I'm excited to work with my students to reach their academic goals! Please feel free to message me for more details or with any questions.
