I have always been passionate about learning and especially found that learning through objects was a pssion of mine. This is why after completing my Ancient History degree in 2018, I went on to study an MA in Museum Studies and completed that in 2021. During my degrees, I volunteered as a tutor and a mentor to university students, firstly tutoring first year students in Greek History, and then acting as a mentor to a neurodivergent bachelors (and later on postgraduate) student at the University of Reading.
Since then, I've wanted to get back to my academic roots and am keen to get started with tutoring in History, Ancient History, Spanish, English Language and English Literature. These are subjects I excelled in at GCSE and would be delighted to support another student in these subjects. Additionally, I'm passionate about supporting people who are learning English as a second language.
If you feel that my profile resonates with what you're seeking, please get in touch and we can discuss!
I have over 20 years of experience in education. My specialism is maths and science but I have planned and taught English lessons as part of my daily job. I am based in Dunfermline, Scotland but have extensive experience working with online programmes and tutoring individuals and groups.
If you have heard of or used Sumdog, you will have seen my work. I designed the progression for the more than 3000 questions for mathematics and 3000 sentences for spelling. I can confidently find where a learner's strengths are and build on them and determine the barriers to progression and work with you to remove them.
I have designed GCSE exam materials for online platforms like Maths Made Easy and have contributed to a range of in person services so that they have a consistent approach to lesson delivery.
I look forward to hearing from you and working together to improve the attainment of your children and young people.

Hi! I'm a philosophy and linguistics at the University of Edinburgh who has a strong academic background and a passion for helping others learn.
I've experienced the benefits of tutoring first hand and hope to be able to provide that kind of support to students who might have be struggling in the same way I did, helping them gain confidence in their subjects.
I tailor my sessions to each student individually, tailoring to their own specific learning style and needs whether that be exam prep, essay practice or just a little extra support with fully understanding concepts and ideas.
I hope to help make learning a fun and interesting process that becomes instantly less stressful and overall more, rewarding.

Over the last two years, I have been at Currie High School and have just finished a year of teaching English at George Heriot's in Edinburgh, teaching S1 to S6 students. I thoroughly enjoyed both experineces interacting with pupils, acknowledging the criteria for success in the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence (no matter what that means for each individual) and understanding how best to help the curriculum become more accessible.
It is important, i feel, to overcome an attitude of "I can't do this!" and to work on tools that enable a student to feel more positive about his/her/their abillities. I would start the process by building on existing skills and progressing to strategies to make the project or task easier to complete.
At the centre of all this is the individual - in a non-threatening and encouraging environment, i believe that confidence can be www.*** to competence. I like to get to know my pupils in a working relationship and to move on from there.
I can assist with English and American literature, poetry, grammar, creative essay-writing and literary essays, oral preparation and improvement of vocabulary or conversation classes, any project or assignments on GCSE or Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.
Description: (work) I really enjoy tutoring and the interaction with young people it affords me. To work together to overcome a challenging aspect of the curriculum is enormously satisfying. Despite the seriousness of the task that needs completing or the skill that needs to. be mastered, a bit of fun and laughter is also important though. Learning needn't be dull!
Description (of me): I am young at heart, enjoy (cheesy) puns and sometimes the silliness (and oddness) of English. Obviously, I thoroughly enjoy reading, particularly historical novels and more literary works and despite selling all my books from South Africa, I am well on my way to creating a new, personal library here in Edinburgh! My lovely dog, Lucy, is 15-years old and a very important member of the household - she is actually in charge!
The history of the UK is incredibly rich and my partner and I are working our way through all the interesting and significant sights - so much to see, so little time. My Scottish grandfather was born in Kelso, and it has been emotional coming back here to explore "his" country.
My latest position was a senior tutor and module leader for the Sino - British cooperation programs between Staffordshire University and Chengdu University of Technology and later University of Stirling and Chengdu University.
When the department announced its plans to expand and open cooperations with new universities and new degrees, I saw this as an opportunity to teach media and journalism on the digital media programme as well as help in setting up a new department at a new partner university.

· I deliver engaging learning within the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. I plan my lessons with families and learners to ensure effective differentiation which meets learners' specific needs.
· I undertake a wide range of professional learning opportunities, including training in teaching learners with dyslexia, supporting young people in care, supporting children's mental health, and developing positive relationships with learners to promote a nurturing learning environment.
· I demonstrate my ongoing commitment to meeting learners’ needs through reflecting upon my practice and using this to shape my approaches to behaviour and classroom management.
I like to keep my lessons fun and interactive even though we will be online - think games, quizzes and role play. If you have a specific goal in mind I am happy to cater our lessons specifically to your individual needs, for example, exam preparation or help with CV/personal statement writing. The ultimate goal is to make my pupils confident in their English skills.
With previous experience as a journalist and researcher, I know how important it is to be able to speak, read and write confidently and efficiently. It is often how we make our first impressions to new people we meet www.*** job interviews, phone calls and important applications to university or college. Being confident in your English skills can also help you to integrate with ease into new environments. I have now received my TEFL certificate in English tutoring. Which means I use effective tools and teaching methods that have been tried and tested by tutors all across the globe. These methods are guaranteed to help you reach your English goals and leave you feeling confident and accomplished!
From the 2014 year I had managing positions at Bohdan Khmelnytskyi State Pedagogical University: Deputy Dean of the Philological Faculty for Educational Work (2012); Deputy Dean of the Philological Faculty for International Cooperation and Scientific Research(2015); Head of the Department of German Philology (2020). My tasks were to develop the faculty and manage students and staff. In 2016 I initiated the Educational Program “German Languages and Literature (including translation)” and in 2022 we got a positive accreditation of it. There are more than 100 students who got Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree. From 2021 to 2022 I was managing the Educational Courses for Children. I had four tutors under my supervision. Children improved their results in school and high school students successfully entered Universities.
As a lecturer, I always had to develop my professional skills and my students’ hard and soft skills. After my attendance international internship, my colleague and I organized a workshop for the staff and students of pedagogical specialties on how to develop soft skills during the classes and educational process. I have well-developed management skills, computer proficiency, leadership experience, communication skills, organizational know-how, collaboration talent, and problem-solving abilities.
As an experienced teacher, I am sure that respect is the most important component in any relationship. As a linguist and citizen of a multicultural city, I know how valuable to respect other cultures, nationalities, and their diversity.
As the Deputy Dean and the Head of the Department, I took part in the organization of various events, such as Ukrainian and International scientific conferences. I organized meetings and greeted people, providing their connection with each other, we always openly shared knowledge and skills to help each other to develop.
In 2014 I initiated an international project Double Diploma with the University College of Social Sciences (Chenstokhovo, Poland). As a result, nine students got Bachelor’s degrees and five students got Master’s Degree in Business English.
Most of my previous administrative work was related to arranging meetings, visits, and events, including requesting and issuing documentation, assisting in the editing and publishing of documents to promote the faculty, and advertising the Department's achievements.
As an administrative person, I had to support staff and students, contribute to their development, and at the same time explain or pass on complex or detailed information precisely and clearly to all participants of the educational process. Excellent time management and organizational skills and my ability to work under pressure helped me to communicate with different people and successfully run the Department.

My name is Laura O. and I am a master's student at the University of Edinburgh. I started my teaching process at the university by tutoring students who needed to organize their time. I am passionate about Spanish and I believe that learning it can open your horizon of experiences and prepare you for possible personal, academic, and professional opportunities. Besides that, Spanish is one of the most beautiful languages in the world!
I hope we can undertake this journey together and show you the wonders of the Spanish language.
I have a Bachelor of Science with honours in cellular and molecular biology, human biology, drug design and synthesis, infectious disease, psychology and biological psychology.
My postgraduate qualification is a master’s in public health nutrition. This involved the study of human nutrition, clinical science, epidemiology, statistics and public health policy as well as behavioural change psychology.
I have tutored independently for a decade now. Including home schooling for my son during lockdowns. My focus is always on finding the right learning style and tools for each student. For example, I created interactive online flashcards systems for the Scottish Curriculum. Which students can use to play games to solidify their learning. I try to find videos and other materials that may help those finding a particular area challenging. We all have our own learning style and sometimes finding the right format can be a true light bulb moment for students. I find coming to lessons with multiple different formats has really helped my earlier students grasp concepts they were struggling to understand with textbook learning.
I also have training and personal experience of helping those with neurodiversity learn in an encouraging and supportive way.

About my sessions
I can assist pupils preparing for their GCSEs, A-levels (AQA, CIE, OCR, Edexcel and EDUQAS exam boards) and IELTS examinations.
Provided that students follow all the instructions, they will see marked improvement after our first 10 lessons together. The lesson structure consists of:
◾ 15' of a powerpoint presentation on the topic in focus: I present separate presentations on each topic and question of the exam paper.
◾ Extended task: a skills-focused or pastpaper exercise, followed by detailed oral and written feedback.
◾ Summary quiz at the end of the class.
For my pupils, I also offer the following:
◾ Personalised lesson timetable: To make sure we are strategic in our approach and prioritise all the key skills
◾ No extra charge for homework marking: This is free. I do not ask pupils to book a Marking Time session
◾ Free resources: After each class I send you the presentations and bonus documents for your revision
◾ Monthly progression report: To help you organise your studies and to show you how far you have progressed
◾ Vocabulary booklets: To get you to improve your use of academic phraseology
Yet, all the above are most effective when personalised to the needs of each pupil. Hence, I encourage you to let me know of your interests, preferences and concerns by booking a free meeting with me first.
