The Associate Tutor Scheme

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS & PHYSICS

I’m Tom and I’ve just graduated with a BSc (with Hons) in Maths and Physics from the University of Warwick and am starting an MSc in Predictive Modelling and Scientific Computing again at Warwick!

Miss West was my GCSE teacher at school and then tutored me during my A Levels. I’ve always had an infatuation with maths but recognise that this fascination comes predominantly from the understanding (which I aim to provide to my tutees). My goal is for my tutees to appreciate maths in the same way that I do, especially if that means they will perform better in exams!

I achieved an A* in both Maths and Further Maths at A-Level and a grade 9 in GCSE maths. I’ve been part of the Associate Tutor Scheme for three years now, through which I’ve tutored numerous GCSE and A Level students. As a tutor, I am proud to have been described as “a lovely person and a great mathematician”. I am keen to form a connection with my tutees in order to understand their point of views to resolve any problems they may encounter!

Outside of university I like to play football, guitar, code, and I run for a club competitively but love to talk with my tutees about any hobbies and interests they have as well!

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS, PHYSICS & CHEMISTRY

Hi, I’m Alice! I’m studying Maths at the University of Bath.

I completed my maths A Level a year early and gained an A*, and then went on to achieve an A* in further maths A Level the following year. This would never have happened without the help and encouragement from Hollie. She ignited my love for Maths and played a huge role in my choice of course at university. I would love to have even a fraction of this effect upon the students I tutor. I’ve been a part of the Associate Tutor Scheme for three years now, during which I’ve gained many wonderful regular tutees across KS3, GCSE and A Level.

I’m dedicated and dependable, highly organised and very easy to talk to. Outside of my studies I enjoy ballet lessons and I’m a part of Bath’s advanced competition team. I also play several musical instruments and recently started learning the Cello. In my free time I love dancing, music, reading and doing the biggest puzzles I can find! 

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS

Hi, I’m Izzy and I am in my third year of studying medicine at the University of Sheffield!

During my time at sixth form, I studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths, achieving an A in all my subjects alongside an EPQ. I have always enjoyed maths and found it a subject I was particularly interested in pursuing further at A level, so in year 11 I began being tutored by Hollie to help push me further. She has not only helped me to develop my maths skills but also enhanced my passion for the subject. I would love to be able to help any tutees in the way Hollie has helped me. I have been a part of the Associate Tutor Scheme for three years and have experience in tutoring KS2, KS3 and GCSE students. 

I’m a very affable and understanding person, who is also highly committed and organised. I enjoy traveling and have been fortunate enough to spending some time backpacking both the Philippines and Thailand over the last two years. I also spend my time walking my two dogs Ruby and Rosie, listening to music and spending time with friends.

 ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS

Hello, I’m Ieuan and I’m studying Civil Engineering at the University Of Portsmouth.

Previously, I attended Burford School where I gained A levels in Maths, Physics and Product Design. I have always enjoyed Maths because I like to find solutions to problems. As my maths tutor, Hollie helped me enormously to develop my mathematical skills, and now I would like to help other people develop theirs. Both of my parents are teachers, so as I’ve grown up I’ve developed an interest in helping others with learning and understanding. This past year I have enjoyed tutoring both GCSE and primary school students.

In my spare time I enjoy sport, particularly rugby and golf. Whilst studying A Levels I was the Junior Captain at Burford Golf Club. Amongst other things, this involved helping some of the younger members learn the rules and etiquette of the game. I am now a member of my university's Golf Club, through which I have represented Portsmouth all over the country. Going into my second year as an active member, I was voted in by my peers to sit on the Club's committee.

I'm a reliable, amiable and chatty person with a great sense of humour who is also able to keep my tutees focused and motivated. I'm looking forward to taking on more tutees this year and helping them to improve their maths. 

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS

Hi, I’m Leila and I'm studying Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham.

I studied for A Levels at Bartholomew School and gained AAAC in Maths, Biology, Politics and an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification). I have enjoyed Maths from a young age with a particular spark for it starting in Year 13 when I was tutored by Hollie.

I began dance lessons at age two and  attended the same dance school as Alice and Maya (also Associate Tutors), where I gained multiple awards and qualifications in ballet, tap and modern dance. I've continued taking dance classes in my spare time at university. 

I am hardworking, organised, approachable and very easy to get along with. I'm really excited to be joining the Associate Tutor Scheme this year and look forward to helping younger students find their mathematical spark! 

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS

Hi, I’m Maya! I'm in my final year of A Levels at Marlborough School. 

I gained a Grade 7 in my Maths GCSE and am now studying Maths, Art and Product Design for my A Levels. I hope to go on to study and train to become a future Architect. 

Hollie tutored me throughout my GCSE and is continuing to help me during my A Level. I'm very proud to be joining the Associate Tutor Scheme and aim to help my tutees the same way that Hollie has helped me: with huge enthusiasm and kindness. 

Outside of my studies I work as a Swimming Teacher, instructing groups of children aged 4 to 11. I also train in dance, mainly ballet; I was a member of the vocational programme at Ballet Boost with the Academy of Balletic Art and regularly attended their lessons at the Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden. 

I'm hardworking and reliable whilst being easy-going and a friendly face to talk to. 

Outside of my studies I enjoy reading, going on walks with my dog, listening to music and visiting family in Thailand! 

ASSOCIATE TUTOR OF MATHS, PHYSICS & COMPUTER SCIENCE

Hi, I’m Joe! Like Alice, I’m also studying Maths at The University of Bath and am currently undertaking a placement year in industry. 

I completed A Levels in Maths, Further   Maths, Physics and Computer Science at Burford School. Hollie tutored me   throughout Year 12 and helped me to complete my Maths A Level a year early,   gaining an A*. I then went on to gain a grade A in Further Maths.

Before starting A Levels, I always liked   maths, but would never have said it was one of my favourite subjects. However, during my A Levels I came to truly love it (hence why I chose to study it at degree level!), and don’t think I would have discovered that passion if it wasn’t for my tutoring lessons with Hollie. I would really like to follow in Hollie’s footsteps and help other students not only improve their maths skills, but also really enjoy maths at the same time. 

I have been an Associate Tutor for three   years now, and as well as supporting GCSE students I have become very   experienced in tutoring students from Years 3 to 6. 

 Others would describe me as a very reliable and dedicated person who is friendly and laid back at the same time. Outside of studies I really like music, skiing, computer games, playing badminton and any plate of food with ketchup on it!
