Hi, I’m Alfie — a recent Classics graduate from the University of Manchester with a deep love of language, literature, and big ideas. I tutor in Latin, Ancient Greek, English, and Religious Studies. I studied Latin at both GCSE and A-Level (achieving an A in each), before reading Classics at the University of Manchester, where I graduated with a 2:1. At university, I focused heavily on mastering Classical Languages — Latin and Ancient Greek — and even studied at the Novum Vivarium in Rome, a renowned school where all instruction is delivered entirely in spoken Latin. Alongside my language studies, I developed a strong interest in the cultural, literary, and philosophical dimensions of the ancient world — interests which naturally extend into English and Religious Studies. I’ve hosted a podcast with Luke Ranieri, one of the world’s foremost scholars in modern spoken Latin, where we explored topics ranging from grammar to deeper questions about meaning and tradition. I’ve now been tutoring for over a year across various platforms. My teaching style is grounded in curiosity and collaboration: I like to ask open-ended questions and guide students toward figuring things out for themselves. This is especially effective in subjects that require interpretation and reflection, like English and Religious Studies. One thing I often help students with is building confidence. Many pupils — especially in intellectually demanding subjects — struggle not with ability but with a fear of making mistakes. My lessons create a safe space where trial and error is encouraged and where even small wins are celebrated. Over time, I’ve seen this approach transform not just how students perform, but how they think. Outside tutoring, I’m a passionate language learner (I speak French and Italian and am learning Russian) and I enjoy playing guitar in my free time. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.

I've devoted equally as much time to my own education as I have to others. At A-level, I received 3 A*s and have since been passionate about sharing my tips & tricks for exam success with my students. I'm an avid musician, I play guitar and write about musicology in my free time - and I also have a background in linguistics, which I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris during an exchange year. It'd be a pleasure to share my passion and knowledge with you to help you achieve your true potential in your own personal goals!

I am a medical student at the University of Edinburgh with experience in tutoring national 5 biology - I helped a student to pass her exam this year.

Hello! My name is Jad Al-Shakarchy, and I am currently studying Accounting and Finance at the University of Warwick. I achieved A*A*A at A-Level and completed Maths in one year. I am a passionate teacher and guitarist, and I love sharing my enthusiasm for Maths with my students. I believe learning should be fun, rewarding, and tailored to each student — whether that means mastering difficult concepts, building confidence, or developing new skills. Through my teaching, I focus not only on improving technique and knowledge, but also on encouraging curiosity, resilience, and a growth mindset. My goal is to help students believe in their abilities and reach their ambitions, whatever they may be.

I am a devoted educator committed to supporting others as they aim to achieve their potential. My colourful educational and professional background places me in an ideal position to help others understand complex information. I was born in Oldham, Manchester but grew up in Leicester in the East Midlands where I attended primary and secondary school, sixth-form, and university. I excelled at secondary school but found it tough at sixth-form, although I didn't help myself by picking five subjects in the first year: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, and Further Maths. After attending sixth-form, I studied on a MPhys Physics with Astrophysics degree at the University of Leicester and graduated in 2017. I then completed my PhD in Physics at the same university before becoming a STEM Teaching Fellow in the physics department. My area of research was/is planetary science and I study the interaction of Saturn's atmosphere and its aurorae. During my PhD, I was very fortunate to get the opportunity to travel to Hawaii, USA and Sendai, Japan for telescope observing and an international conference, respectively. I have previously worked at both the National Space Centre in Leicester and the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London. Both roles were public-facing and I interacted with visiting members of the public. In my current role I teach mathematics to foundation year students at the University of Leicester which includes lecturing, setting and marking exams, and 1-to-1 tutoring.

Hi, I'm Tommy, a first class Modern Languages graduate (French and Italian) of the University of Cambridge. I am an experienced tutor of French from KS3 to degree level and whilst at school tutored KS3 and GCSE pupils. Having recently been a student, I understand the difficulties faced when learning a language - but equally how rewarding making progress can be. I can share the tips and tricks I used to achieve an A* in GCSE and A-level French and a First in my degree. I am happy to focus sessions on exam preparation, literature and film, conversational French and anything in between. I make lessons fun and work to boost the student’s confidence through practice and encouragement. As a keen Francophile who lived in France for a year, I bring plenty of enthusiasm and nostalgia for the French way of life. I also have experience coaching candidates for the Oxbridge admissions process. I can share my expertise, run mock interviews and offer guidance about personal statements.

Hi, I’m Amay! I’ve been tutoring online for a while now and have helped students boost their grades by up to two levels. I remember how tough A Levels can be – I did mine not too long ago and came out with 2A*s and an A, which helped me get into Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. Because I’ve been through it myself, I really get what it feels like to juggle all the pressure, deadlines, and tricky topics. My lessons are relaxed but structured, and always tailored to what you need. Whether it’s building confidence, breaking down tough concepts, or smashing those exams, I’ll work with you to make sure you’re feeling clear and confident every step of the way.

Hello! I'm Kufre, currently a final year medical student at King's College London, with a strong passion for the sciences and a deep commitment to education. My academic journey is highlighted by my stellar grades: 11 A* at GCSE and 4 A*grades at A-level in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These achievements not only reflect my grasp of these subjects but also my dedication, perseverance, and the effective study skills I've developed over the years. Alongside my studies, I have gained over four years of experience as a tutor. I've had the privilege of supporting students from diverse backgrounds, ranging from those preparing for their 11+ exams to A-level pupils aiming for academic excellence. My versatile teaching methods are customised to fit each student's unique learning style, ensuring their comfort, engagement, and ultimately, their success. Beyond general tutoring, I am proficient in guiding students through the university entrance process, including the BMAT, UCAT, and interview preparation. Drawing from my personal experiences, I provide insightful guidance to help students navigate these demanding steps with confidence and ease. Outside of academia, I am an enthusiast of calisthenics, a discipline that has fortified my resilience, determination, and goal-setting abilities. I firmly believe that these traits are equally valuable in a learning environment, and I incorporate them into my tutoring approach. This method helps students understand that learning, like calisthenics, is a process that involves setting and working progressively towards achievable goals. As a tutor, my mission is to not only facilitate academic improvement but also to inspire a genuine love for learning in my students. I strive to create an environment where students feel empowered, motivated, and excited to reach their full potential. I am looking forward to partnering with you and your child on their academic journey!
