Hi! I am Teacher Erika Marie, a passionate and flexible English tutor here at Edge! I believe that learning English should be exiting, empowering, and tailored just for you. I bring creativity, energy, and a student-centered approach to every lesson, ensuring that you feel supported and challenged in just the right way. My sessions are interactive and goal-oriented - whether you are aiming to ace your GCSEs, Arbitur, and Oral and Written Exams, preparing to ace your desired Cambridge English Proficiency for reading, listening, speaking, and writing, boost your confidence in public speaking, or strengthen your everyday communication skills for future travel plans. With my rich background in public speaking and love for journaling, I bring both structure and self-expression into the classroom, helping you build clarity, confidence, and your own unique voice in English. I'll guide you through lessons that are both meaningful, personalized, and fun. Learning with me is never one-size-fits-all - it's a personalized journey, and I'm excited to be part of yours! Learn English and connect with the world. See you in class! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Education and a TEFL certification which have equipped me with a strong foundation in teaching methods, linguistics, and literature. I am also advancing my teaching repertoire through my current Master's Degree Education. My academic training allows me to craft lessons that are not only comprehensive but also engaging and adaptable to different learning needs. I combine this formal background with my real-world teaching experience to help students reach their goals—whether that’s exam mastery, stronger writing, or everyday language fluency—through lessons that are personalized, purposeful, and enjoyable.

Hello, I am a stop motion animator and aspiring filmmaker based in Scotland. Stop motion has allowed me to focus on my passion for storytelling and combines my love of literature, theatre and art. I absolutely adore stories: reading them, watching them, and capturing them myself. I am dyslexic and it has taken me time to develop all of the studying tips and tricks that I now have the privilege to share with others. I’m also a keen gardener, baker and painter. I have a first class joint honours Master of Arts in English literature and Film & Visual Culture from the University of Aberdeen. I was given the Seafield medal for English and the Film 23’ prize for my dissertation. I also studied Geology, Geography and Ecology as elective subjects at university. I also recently completed the Aardman Academy animation courses SM1 and SM2. I did GCSE’s and IGCSE’s followed by the International Baccalaureate at St Leonard’s High School and attended the Royal Conservatoire Juniors Production program alongside. My main subjects at IB level were English, Environmental Systems and Societies, Maths, Italian, art and theatre.

I’m currently studying sociology at the University of the West of England in Bristol to become a teacher of sociology in the future! I love music- especially dance music- as well as animals (definitely a dog person!) and nature. My free time is usually spent going out with friends, playing video games, and going on walks. I am currently studying at UWE Bristol. Prior to this I studied at KLB at A-Level and GCSE. I have A-Level qualifications in sociology, psychology, and English literature. During my gap year I spent time working at my old secondary school/sixth form and have a year’s experience in tutoring both 1 on 1 and in small groups

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m currently studying Biochemistry with French at university, and I really enjoy helping students understand difficult topics in a clear and simple way. I’m patient, organised, and good at adapting explanations depending on how each student learns best. I especially enjoy biology, chemistry, and languages, and I always try to make lessons encouraging and confidence-building. I also like helping students become more organised, build good study habits, and learn how to learn independently, so they feel more prepared for exams and future education. Outside of studying, I enjoy travelling, art, sport, and meeting new people. I am currently studying Biochemistry with French at the University of Manchester, which has given me a strong academic background in biology, chemistry, scientific writing, and problem-solving. My degree includes topics such as cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry, and laboratory skills, as well as developing my communication and cultural awareness through French. Before university, I completed A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, and French, as well as AS Level Maths, where I built a strong foundation in science, languages, mathematics, and independent study. I also completed 13 GCSEs, which helped me develop a broad academic base across different subjects. During my A Levels, I was part of a tutoring scheme, where I supported other students with their learning and helped explain challenging topics in a clearer and more approachable way. This experience helped me develop my communication skills, patience, and ability to adapt my explanations to suit different students. My educational and tutoring experience has helped me become organised, confident with exam preparation, and able to explain complex ideas clearly to others.
