Rita Y.

I'm Tilly, and I'm a second-year medical student at Oxford University. I have been tutoring for over three years now and love helping students in maths, science and for medical school admissions tests. I hope to be a friendly, approachable and enthusiastic tutor assisting students in their learning by helping them both understand topics deeply and enjoy their learning as much as possible. I studied at Putney High School, where I achieved all 9s at GCSE and A* in biology, chemistry, maths, and my EPQ. However, I am now a second-year medical student at Oxford University. I have been tutoring for 3 years and really enjoy helping students to reach their fullest potential.

I am a first-year university student studying Computer Science, with a strong academic foundation in both mathematics and computing. I specialise in teaching Mathematics and Computer Science, and I have hands-on experience supporting and teaching students within a primary school setting, helping them build confidence and understanding. I successfully completed the 11 Plus examination in Year 6, which reflected my strong academic ability from an early age, particularly in English and Mathematics. I then went on to attend Bartley Green Secondary School, where I studied a wide range of subjects including English, Mathematics, Triple Science, Religious Education, Geography, French, and Computer Science. Studying such a broad curriculum helped me become well-rounded and develop important skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and clear communication. After secondary school, I attended King Edward VI College, Stourbridge, where I studied A-Levels in Mathematics, Law, and Computer Science. These subjects allowed me to strengthen my logical thinking and analytical skills. Mathematics deepened my confidence in tackling complex problems, Law improved my ability to form structured arguments, and Computer Science further developed my technical knowledge and passion for computing. Overall, my educational journey has been consistent, focused, and driven by a genuine interest in analytical and technical subjects.

Currently I am a teacher of Mathematics for secondary education, and I am also teaching adults as part of their CPD. When I am teaching, I use creative and critical thinking techniques to help my students to acquire in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts of mathematics. Part of my teaching consists of games, quizzes and other creative and fun activities that aim to make teaching and learning easier and more enjoyable. It is also important for me to help my students to learn how to solve word problems, which is a skill that students find hard to acquire. I enjoy walking, travelling, reading, sports and music. Lately I became fascinated with Space exploration and the possibilities that it creates for the development of new technology and how it helps improve living conditions on Earth. I am also interested in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning and how these are based on mathematical thought. I have a degree in Pure Mathematics from the Aristotle University of Greece, an MA in Mathematics Education from Leeds University in the UK and a PGCE in Mathematics from the UK. I have a Qualified Teacher Status to work in UK schools and I have 22 years of work experience in the UK, Greece and Cyprus.

My name is Khalood Zara, and I am a Law graduate with a strong and diverse academic background. Alongside studying Law at university, I completed A-levels in Mathematics, Economics, Business, and Psychology, which provided me with a broad foundation across both essay-based and quantitative subjects. This combination has enabled me to develop excellent written communication, analytical reasoning, and numerical skills, allowing me to support students with a range of learning styles and academic needs. My academic journey has equipped me with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly, encourage critical thinking,-and help students build confidence in their abilities. I am a dedicated and knowledgeable tutor with a genuine passion for education and student success. My approach is focused, supportive, and tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that students develop both confidence and a deep understanding of their subjects. I place great emphasis on critical thinking, academic rigour, and building strong study habits that extend beyond the classroom. By creating a positive and encouraging learning environment, I help students achieve their goals, realise their potential, and develop the skills needed for long-term academic success. My academic journey has provided me with a strong and diverse foundation of knowledge, analytical ability, and communication skills. I graduated with a Law degree from City, University of London, a highly respected institution known for its academic excellence, strong links to industry and the professions, and its location in the heart of London's legal and financial district. Studying Law at university required a high level of intellectual discipline, critical thinking, and attention to detail. Throughout my degree, l engaged with complex legal principles, developed advanced research skills, and learned how to construct clear, persuasive, and evidence-based arguments. The rigorous nature of legal study strengthened my ability to analyse information from multiple perspectives, identify key issues, evaluate evidence, and communicate complex ideas in a clear and accessible manner. These are skills that extend far beyond the study of law and are invaluable when supporting students in their own academic development. My university experience also enhanced my time management, organisation, and independent learning abilities, allowing me to approach challenges methodically and effectively. Prior to university, I completed A-levels in Mathematics, Economics, Business, and Psychology. This combination of subjects provided me with a broad academic perspective and enabled me to develop strengths across both quantitative and essay-based disciplines. Mathematics and Economics refined my numerical reasoning, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, while Business and Psychology strengthened my analytical writing, evaluation, and understanding of human behaviour and decision-making. Studying such a varied range of subjects has given me the flexibility to connect with students who have different academic strengths and learning styles. It has also equipped me with a balanced skill set that combines numerical proficiency with strong written communication and critical analysis. As a result, I am able to support students not only in mastering subject content but also in developing the confidence, independent thinking, and study techniques that underpin long-term academic success. My educational background has instilled in me a genuine appreciation for learning and intellectual curiosity. I strive to pass this on to my students by creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where they feel motivated to achieve their goals and full potential.
