Hello, my name’s Benjamin. I’m patient, approachable, and passionate about maths and physics. I’ve always enjoyed talking about the subjects I love, partly because I think they’re really cool, but also because I believe it’s important to be curious about the world around us. My approach to learning is based on understanding things from first principles. I think it’s much better to build strong foundations than to simply memorise facts or methods without really knowing why they work. If you understand something properly, you shouldn’t have to remember very much at all and that makes learning a lot easier and more enjoyable. I also like connecting concepts to real-world examples, as this can make abstract ideas feel much more concrete. For example, Faraday’s law helps explain how wireless charging works! As a tutor, I aim to make lessons clear, engaging, and supportive, helping students build confidence as well as knowledge. I completed my A-levels at Bristol Grammar School in Physics, Maths, Further Maths and Chemistry, achieving A*A*A*A. In Year 12, I also gained a distinction in the Advanced Extension Award in Maths. I am now in my final year studying Physics at the University of Oxford.

Hello! My name is Anna Mai, and I am a passionate and dedicated tutor currently studying to become an Early Years Teacher. I have extensive experience working with children and young people in educational settings, and I am committed to helping every student build confidence, develop their skills, and achieve their full potential. Alongside my studies, I work in a Montessori setting and part-time in afterschool care, where I support children's learning, social development, and overall wellbeing. These roles have given me valuable experience in adapting lessons and activities to suit different learning styles and abilities. I understand that every child learns differently, and I enjoy finding creative and engaging ways to make learning enjoyable and accessible. I also spent three years teaching and studying abroad, which broadened my understanding of education and allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and ability to build positive relationships with learners and their families. As a tutor, I strive to create a supportive, encouraging, and patient learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves. Whether a student needs help building foundational skills, improving academic performance, or gaining confidence in a particular subject, I am dedicated to providing personalised support that meets their individual needs. I am kind, caring, reliable, and enthusiastic about education. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but also to foster a love of learning that will benefit them throughout their lives. I look forward to supporting students on their educational journey and helping them reach their goals. I am currently studying Early Years and Childhood Studies at University College Cork (UCC), where I am developing a strong understanding of child development, early childhood education, inclusive practice, and effective teaching methodologies. My studies have provided me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that enable me to support children's learning and development in a meaningful and engaging way. In addition to my current studies, I spent three years studying abroad in the ITEPS International Teacher Education for Primary Schools programme. This international teacher education programme gave me valuable experience in primary education, exposing me to a range of teaching approaches, educational systems, and multicultural learning environments. Studying and teaching alongside people from diverse backgrounds strengthened my communication, adaptability, and intercultural skills while deepening my passion for education. Alongside my academic background, I have gained extensive practical experience working with children. I currently work in a Montessori setting, where I support children's learning through child-centred, hands-on activities that encourage independence, creativity, and confidence. I also work part-time in afterschool care, assisting children with homework, organising educational and recreational activities, and supporting their social and emotional development. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages, abilities, and learning styles, helping me develop strong skills in behaviour support, lesson planning, communication, and student engagement. I am passionate about helping children achieve their full potential and creating a positive, supportive learning environment where they feel confident to learn, grow, and succeed. My combination of university study, international teacher education experience, and hands-on work with children has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm needed to support students on their educational journey.
