My work experience is mainly comprised of volunteering work. I dabbled in some social volunteering work during the first year of my undergraduate studies, which provided me with the opportunity to teach Mathematics (for a term of six months), a subject that I absolutely adore, to high school students. I continued this teaching for six months, after which I took on a more challenging task. The NHF (National Hawker's Federation), a charitable organization, that works to assess the welfare and health of hawkers. For the other half of my first year, I joined the NHF and helped them conduct surveys while also communicating with the local government to ensure that the rights of hawkers were upheld and respected.
The remainder of my college years was dedicated to organizing exhibitions, quizzes, and events to promote my subject, Physics, among the youth. I set up fun workshops and exhibitions to demonstrate the laws of physics in an easily digestible manner. Many students from various schools across the city would visit these events and take part in the interactive scientific demonstrations. I am proud to state that these events encouraged a handful of those students to approach me about pursuing a career in physics, and that was the most significant achievement of my undergraduate years.
My social volunteering work gave me valuable interpersonal communication and documentation skills, which are two very useful qualities for a tutor. International students are generally confused and shy, so tutors need to be friendly and approachable to encourage students to ask questions and help them feel comfortable. I believe I have nearly perfected these skills thanks to my experience teaching high school students.
I believe the seminars and exhibitions I've organized have also played a significant role in developing my academic engagement skills. If I could captivate a group of jumpy school students with a model of the Doppler Shift Phenomenon, I suppose I must have my community engagement skills sorted. Organizing these events has also enhanced my management skills, making me a detail-oriented and sometimes annoyingly methodical person.
Although my coding experience is already highlighted in my CV, I would also like to state that I have done multiple projects using python and Java and am currently doing a project on neutrino detection. I have struggled with coding in the past and know how it feels to keep getting error codes and not knowing what is wrong with what you’ve typed. The reason for my struggles was because my foundation for programming was not strong so I can assure CYPHER and coco coders that I will make sure all students under me never feel the need to ask chatgpt to correct their codes.
I believe everyone has the potential to be a STEM genius. It's just about finding the right way to explain things, making it click for each person. And I would enjoy exploring that process while also helping others learn along the way.
I've been through the struggles of figuring out formulas, scratching my head over physics concepts and reading through 100 lines of a code just to realise you missed a semicolon somewhere. I get it, and I want to be that person who turns confusion into clarity. No one should feel like they're swimming in an ocean of numbers alone.
So, in a nutshell, I want to tutor because I've been there, I love the 'aha' moments, and I genuinely want to make studying a high-five, fist-bump, let's-do-this kind of experience for others. I thrive on making a positive impact, which is a skill required yet mostly overlooked in tutors. I would love to engage with younger audiences and help them adjust to their new chapter in acade.

As a current third year Physics with Theoretical Physics student at King's College London, I have an unrivalled experience in both Physics and Mathematics that I can share with you. I have received awards from my university for achieving the highest first year laboratory results and have achieved a First in both my first and second year results. Furthermore, I achieved 5 A*s at GCSE and 3 As at A-levels, and I can help you achieve the same.
I have had several years of teaching experience in a few different areas. I am currently working at a tutoring centre where I help students develop their skills in a large array of subjects. I have also had professional tutoring experience with MyTutor where I have tutored students for A-Level and GCSE Maths and Physics for over a year, helping students to achieve the grades they require. With MyTutor I provided support to students over a video call, helping them with homework problems and achieving the grades they wanted.
I used to be member of my school's academic mentor team and eventually helped to run and organise the academic mentors. Our role was to provide support to younger students studying for their GCSEs. I would meet up with one or two younger students over lunchtimes and provide support and tuition in Maths, Physics and Chemistry. I partook in the academic mentor team for two years.
Further to this, I was a member of my school's Combined Cadet Forces where I was trained in how to prepare and deliver lessons to younger cadets and was later given the responsibility of training them. My time leading cadets in the CCF taught me how to effectively deliver information to people and the importance of suiting my teaching style to different people. I have also given support to some of my friends with EFL tasks and would often try and explain the mistakes that they may have made. This helped me to learn how to communicate ideas in an effective manner to people who are not entirely fluent in English.

Having recently completed my PGCE in Primary Education and gaining my QTS; my knowledge of the curriculum, teaching strategies, and methods and my experience puts me in great stead to be an excellent, motivating, thorough and positive tutor for children at the primary level. Further, I have an excellent understanding of the 7+ exams and can focus my teaching towards any areas of learning towards this. I have many strategies for making learning accessible for children, being dyslexic myself, I understand the different difficulties and struggles children can have in school and ways to overcome barriers to learning. I have a passion for education and enjoy making learning fun and engaging. My specialism is computing and I, therefore, love to use computing as a cross-curricular tool in learning. Additionally, Astronomy is a strong passion of mine and something I am keen to spark and promote in children where it can lead to many interesting thoughts and questions and relates to so many schemes of learning. I believe in learning from one's environment and exploring the world around us and therefore ensure that when I teach the curriculum, I make the learning experience as enjoyable, relevant, and accessible as possible.
My first experience in teaching was working in conductive education, with children with cerebral palsy. Further, I worked as a teaching assistant at a large school, working with years 1, 2 and 5. In the mornings I worked with whole classes and in the afternoon I ran group or 1-1 sessions with children that needed extra support, such as children with special educational needs. Additionally, I ran an Astronomy club for year 2 and year 5. I planned, taught, and assessed each child in my class and shared my passion and enthusiasm for the subject with them. I have since completed a PGCE in primary education at the Institute of Education at University College London (UCL). During my placement, I worked primarily with a year 5 class, planning, teaching, and assessing up to 80% of the timetable. On this placement, I taught consecutive lessons in year 1 and 2 also, mostly focusing on Phonics and Maths. My specialism is Computing and I ran a Computing project with my year 5 class on this placement, collecting and subsequently presenting my findings to my colleagues at UCL. This project investigated the ways in which Computing can be used to promote cross-curricular learning and was thoroughly enjoyable, successful, and interesting. I was also lucky enough to gain valuable experience on placement at Brooklyn New School in New York, where I taught year 2. My main focus at this school was Literacy and Numeracy, as well as Philosophy for Children (which is now on the National Curriculum) and I have a broad and well-rounded knowledge of a variety of teaching strategies and methods. Additionally, I run a YouTube channel providing lessons in Astronomy for children and adult beginners. I plan and prepare the lessons most relevant and accessible to children, where it can link to the national curriculum.
I would love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for Astronomy with adults, as well as children.

I'm enthusiastic about science and have a specific interest in Astrophysics. I have a PhD in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Southampton.
To fund my PhD, I received a Mayflower scholarship, which required me to teach 25% of my time there. I assisted teaching of several different courses ranging from first to fourth year physics including maths, laboratories, electromagnetism etc.
I also helped to mark problem sheets, exams, course work as well as presentations. Moreover, I was a tutor and had regular tutorials with my tutees. I guided them academically whilst also making sure that they were settling in well into university life.
As part of my teaching experience at university, I have taught students with a range of abilities and from different cultural backgrounds, including non-native speakers.
I am experienced online tutor in Maths and Science. Sessions are held via Zoom and I use a writing tablet to go through ideas, concepts and calculations. I always adapt the content of my sessions to suit the different exam boards and curricula.
One-to-one and group sessions as well as online lessons available.
I understand that each person has a different learning style and I adapt my tutoring sessions to reflect this. I'm friendly and personable and aim to put every student at ease because learning shouldn't be stressful. I'm happy to teach Science and Maths for all age groups ranging from primary school to A-levels or equivalent and Physics up to undergraduate level. I'm also happy to teach German for all age groups as I'm a native speaker.
I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate, volunteer at a local preschool group and have three children of my own.

I am a third-year student at the University of Nottingham, studying for a Master degree in theoretical physics. I moved to the Uk from Italy to study at University. I've completed my diploma with 100/hon in sciences and I've been a tutor for younger students and peers throughout my studies. I'm very competent in the fields of physics, mathematics, applied mathematics, informatics, and data science. In the past, I also taught philosophy and literature. My knowledge in these fields comes from my studies as well as my passion for the subjects. I have a strong passion for teaching and I plan on pursuing a career in this field after getting my Master. I had the opportunity to experience various methods of teaching and learning and I strongly believe that a good teacher needs to shape a lesson based on the specific student's needs to get the best learning outcome. I also believe that studying is a fun and enjoyable activity and I wish to deliver the passion that drives me to a deeper understanding of what I'm studying to other people as well, to get them to be passionate and enjoy learning.
