Katie Jackson
Subjects covered:
- KS3 science
- GCSE science
- A-level biology
Hourly rate: £27-£32
Online sessions
Hi, I'm Katie and I am a Biological sciences graduate from Lancashire. Science, and particularly Biology, has been my passion since I can remember. I developed a deep fascination and desire to understand living organisms and their environments throughout school and sixth form, prompting me to enrol as a Biological sciences student at the University of Manchester. It was during my first year as a university student in 2015 that I began tutoring A-level biology students in the local area as a part-time job. I thrived off sharing my learning and revision techniques to Biology students to help them understand the vast content, and perform better in exams. Following the success of my A-level sessions, I soon broadened my student clientele to include GCSE science students. I found this to be mutually beneficial, as the content preparation I carried out for GCSE sessions encouraged me to research all three areas of science, and I often found myself delving into various chemistry and physics theories. From then, I felt I had found a job that I was truly passionate about; a role that allowed me to continue my exploration of science whilst being able to help younger students develop their own passion and understanding of science. I have since tutored consistently whilst working in a food safety role and studying various further education courses including radiology and science media. I am available to tutor A-Level Biology, GCSE science (triple and double awards) and KS3 science. I am passionate, focused, reliable and work my absolute hardest to ensure my students reach and go beyond the academic level they are striving for, whilst developing a genuine interest for science.

Hi, I’m Brooke and I tutor mainly English Literature and Language. My education includes a Bachelor's 1st in Law and A-Levels in English Literature, English Language, Law and Sociology.
As a recent graduate, I fully understand the stress of exams and the intense pressures students face to succeed, having sat them so recently myself. A lot of my lessons are interwoven with exam tips and techniques in anecdote form, that I have personally tried and found to be of aid throughout my GCSEs, A-Levels and university exams. Most of all, I find that the best technique for facing exams, in addition to preparation, is feeling more than adequately prepared. Therefore, in addition to studying the content of the curriculum, the central focus of all my sessions is to build students' confidence and a belief in themselves. Encouragement and enthusiasm are the two pillars of every session I teach; I aim to show students that by working hard they can succeed in any endeavour they wish to pursue.
My sessions are completely tailored to the curriculum and what the student wants to learn, whether that is something they are struggling with, something they are interested in or something they will be learning in class and want to get a head start on. All sessions are adapted to the student’s skill level and are designed to be build confidence while also being challenging.
Lynsey Brown
Subjects:
- KS1 all subjects
- KS2 all subjects
- Phonics
Hourly rate: £28
Online sessions or face to face in the Scunthorpe area.
Hello, my name is Lynsey and I have worked for more than 20 years in primary education as a teacher, mentor, early years lead and Assistant Principal. I have had the pleasure over the years to work with so many wonderful children and families, supporting them from when they first start school and throughout their journey. I love teaching and always look at the strengths of the individual and I am amazed every day at what children can achieve when they have the right support and feel valued.
Within sessions, I give careful feedback highlighting what is going well and what steps are needed to move forward. This is so important to build confidence, establish trust and see progress.
My expertise is within early years and KS1, however I do have experience of working with children in KS2. I enjoy teaching phonics, reading, writing and maths, but I admit I would be happy teaching PE all day if I could!
My approach to teaching is practical and creative and led by the individual needs of the child. As a teacher I am calm, patient and explain things in a simple way, encouraging children to express their thoughts and ask questions.
I have lots of experience working with children with special educational needs and those who find learning more challenging. I can adapt my teaching to the needs of the child and teach in a way that helps children build confidence and resilience.
I believe that parents are the experts on their child and that by working in partnership we can ensure your child makes the best progress for them.

Hourly rate: £30

I am an enthusiastic and nurturing teacher who thrives on inspiring and supporting individuals to flourish.
Since September 2020, I have worked both online and in person as a tutor: delivering private 1:1 tuition; I work with KS2 and KS3 students across the globe to develop and refine their mathematics and literacy skills, and prepare them for 11+ and 12+ school entrance examinations.
Alongside this, I consult for schools and the local authority, helping children achieve end of Key Stage expectations and assisting transition back into school for children who have been absent from
education.
Joining the teaching profession was the start of my journey in making a positive impact on the lives of others. Since graduating from the University of Leicester, I have been working in primary schools in
and around North East Lincolnshire as a classroom teacher and as a school leader. Although based in primary schools, I have worked with secondary schools to assist the smooth transition between Year 6
and Year 7.
Dave Baker
Subjects:
- KS3 science
- GCSE science
- A-level biology
Hourly rate: £30-£35
Online sessions
Hello, my name is David Baker and I am a friendly and enthusiastic teacher of Science as well as a doting dad to my little boy!
I teach all three sciences up to GCSE and Biology to A-Level. I am practised in all major exam boards; WJEC, AQA, Edexcel, OCR and iGCSE.
I studied Biology at the University of Sheffield and the following year I completed my PGCE in Science with Biology and obtained my QTS status in 2011.
I have 12 years’ experience of working in secondary schools in both South Wales and Bristol.
I am used to working with a range of pupils of different academic abilities and have helped pupils to achieve excellent results throughout my career. I am fun, understanding and kind.
I have been tutoring full time for the last 12 months and absolutely love my job. Being able to help pupils progress and watching them succeed is what motivates me. I aim to develop pupil understanding and exam technique through extensive use of past paper questions.
My feedback to pupils is rigorous and my goal is to provide them with all of the techniques they need to achieve the best possible grade.
Selina Witts
Hi, I am Selina. I have been a teacher for almost 20 years, educational leader for over 10 years and trained coach for over 5 years. However, I have been devotedly curious my entire life with an unfailing belief that children can achieve whatever they can perceive and for whatever they can’t perceive I can help them dream bigger or more colourful.
I feel strongly about giving every child every chance to succeed in whatever way possible. I have seen first-hand that when people fall in love with what they are learning about or learning to do, they are more successful. During one to one sessions I can quickly assess exactly what a child needs in order to achieve and then use a range of different strategies to help them get there quickly.
In all honesty, my specialism is learning and the core elements needed to promote deep understanding with rich and interconnected links. What this means for the pupils I tutor is an individualised approach to help any learner at any stage whether it be early acquisition of number or language, right up to GCSE. My aim is to help my students take responsibility for fostering a love of learning for life and fortunately passing exams is a delightful outcome!
As a coach I am trained to listen holistically to people. What they say both verbally and non-verbally. I feel strongly about children having a voice and a secure sense of self – being ok with who they are! Through one to one tutoring with coaching included I can give the people I’m with the optimum conditions for academic and emotional growth.
