Hello there! I'm Dorothy Jean Acedo, and I'm a dedicated and enthusiastic math teacher. I absolutely love helping students discover that math isn't just about numbers—it's a world of puzzles and possibilities! My mission is to make our lessons feel less like a chore and more like a fun challenge. We'll use games, real-life examples, and collaborative activities to make even the trickiest topics click. When I'm not teaching, I love to get out into nature for a hike or take photos, which reminds me that the world is full of beautiful patterns, just like math. I'm a licensed professional teacher and TEFL-certified educator with a degree in Secondary Education, Major in Mathematics. With over seven years of experience in the classroom, I've developed a strong foundation in teaching strategies...

Hi there. James here, from South Africa. I taught in London in Walthamstow for my probationary year in 1991, and then in Johannesburg and Kwazulu-Natal in South Africa for a total of 21 years. I have taught Cambridge A Level History and England and South Africa's English and History curricula. I am also a published researcher, poet, and author. I enjoy cross-country running. I like NETFLIX mystery series. I regularly get out wilderness walking and cross country swimming. Since February 2025, I tutor English and Religious Studies for GoStudent. I battled with learning difficulties at school. However, I did very well after school, because I knew that English opens doors. So, I set goals. Then I achieved a B.A (1985) and a B. Ed (1996) degree, at Wits University in Johannesburg. I did a Masters Degree in Theology (Regent College, Vancouver, B.C., 2001) and a PhD in Church History (University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2016). I believe education is a lifelong journey. We master English every day for the rest of our lives. So I'm still learning as I tutor GCSE students, A Level students, and juniors, to reach their highest goals.

Hi, I’m a Psychology undergraduate with A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals through clear, supportive, and engaging lessons. I offer tutoring for A-Level Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry, as well as GCSE Combined Science, Biology and Chemistry. Having recently completed these qualifications myself, I understand the challenges students face and can explain difficult concepts in a simple and relatable way. My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, whether they are aiming to improve their understanding, boost their grades, or prepare for exams. I focus on creating a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing their skills at their own pace. I am currently studying BSc Psychology at Aston university and have completed A-Levels in Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry. My studies have equipped me with strong analytical, research, and communication skills, as well as a thorough understanding of scientific and psychological concepts. At GCSE, I achieved strong grades across a range of subjects, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, English Literature, and Mathematics. This broad academic background allows me to support students across both science and essay-based subjects. I offer tutoring in A-Level Psychology, Biology, and Chemistry, as well as GCSE Biology, Chemistry, and Combined Science. Having completed these qualifications relatively recently, I am familiar with the curriculum, exam requirements, and effective revision techniques needed for success. Alongside subject knowledge, I can help students develop exam technique, confidence, and study skills. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where lessons are tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals, whether they are looking to improve their understanding of key topics, prepare for exams, or achieve higher grades.

👋 Hi, I'm Siya! I specialize in Mathematics (KS1 to KS5, GCSE, Precalculus, Calculus , Linear algebra, etc.), English (ESL) CONVERSATIONAL or for school, 11+ Prep and CS, I make online lessons highly visual, interactive, and tailored to your child's pace. 🎨 My Teaching Style No two students learn the same way. I focus on high-engagement, step-by-step problem-solving. My classroom is a patient, supportive space where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning process. Together, we will map out equations, analyze texts, practice 11+ verbal/non-verbal reasoning, and write code in real-time. 🌟 Supporting Diverse Learners I have dedicated experience tutoring students with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism, and school anxiety. I provide a structured, calm, and encouraging environment where your child can build genuine academic confidence. 💡 What We Can Achieve Together 11+ Exam Mastery: Sharpening speed, accuracy, and confidence in numerical and logical reasoning. Confidence in Key Subjects: Mastering Math, Further Math, English (ESL) and Computer Science. Exam Readiness: Breaking down tricky GCSE, iGCSE, and A-Level questions. I am currently pursuing a double major Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science through the University of South Africa (UNISA). This academic track provides me with a deep, rigorous foundation in analytical problem-solving, advanced algebraic structures, calculus, computational logic, and software development methodologies. My coursework heavily emphasizes the intersection of technical computing and data analysis, which allows me to approach math and technology with a clear, structured framework. In addition to my current STEM degree, I hold a National Certificate in Public Management. This qualification enhanced my professional communication, strategic planning, and organizational skills, allowing me to bridge the gap between technical logic and effective interpersonal engagement.
