About Me

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 7 years old, and I was only treated with medication for a single year. During this time it was the only period in my primary or secondary education where I received perfect grades in all subjects. As I got older, my education started declining and I eventually dropped out of high school after 9th grade (S3 equivalent). I eventually learned how to work with my neurodiversity and mitigate its impact on my studies.

Despite dropping out of school, and spending over a year homeless as a teenager I have managed to get two MSc degrees from the University of Edinburgh.

I am a friendly teacher who enjoys sharing what I have learned over the years and encouraging others to keep striving for the best because nobody is unable to learn a subject as long as they have the correct, supportive environment. Even if someone has had a rough go at life, they can become a very successful student and move onto a career that they find rewarding. The same goes for anyone who just wants to learn more information because they are interested in learning more.

My goal is to ensure that anyone who is learning from me either sees an improvement in their studies because no amount of tuition should be wasted because of a person who is providing a low quality service.

Education

University of North Florida - Chemistry undergraduate studies while studying pre-medical.
Milwaukee School of Engineering - Studied Nursing.
Columbia College - Political Science, philosophy, political philosophy, international relations, and the politics of developing nations.
University of Edinburgh - MSc in Global Environment, Politics, and Society (self-taught critical discourse analysis for my dissertation).
University of Edinburgh - MSc in Global Health Policy (self-taught interpretive phenomenological analysis for lived experience research in homelessness, trauma, and substance use disorders with a focus on the NHS and psychedelic-assisted therapy treatments for trauma and substance use disorders).

Experience / Qualifications

US Navy - In-flight aircrew acoustics systems operator and oceanographer (gained qualification as a certified trainer for new members).
During both undergraduate and graduate school I acted as an informal tutor for the topics in my educational career.
Lived experience researcher and teacher of lived experience research methodologies with Homeless Network Scotland. I have provided consultation on multiple projects with my employer and on multiple Scottish government research projects.

Eloise
Scottish curriculum (National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher) Chemistry
I tutor Chemistry at National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher level. I can provide help understanding course content, practicing exam questions, and more. If you are thinking about crashing a subject I can help provide a basic level of knowledge which it is extremely beneficial to have when directly entering a subject at a Higher or Advanced Higher level. The sessions can be completely dictated by what the student feels they need from me or I can take a more structured approach after an initial consultation. I am a friendly and passionate tutor with a comprehensive understanding of my subject.

William
Philosophy and Theology, Religious Moral and Philosophical Studies, Religious Studies.
Tutoring Philosophy and Theology aimed at students of any age or ability within the subjects of Religious studies, Philosophy and Theology. The content with my skill set and preexisting knowledge can easily be applied to the Scottish Higher system but I am comfortable teaching anything up until the undergraduate level including A level's, GCSE's and any other qualification.

Raef
Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVT
The courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology of the French or European French or English programs (Secondary or university levels) are given by explanations either in depth or by a rapid course and summary of essential need according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or by evaluations and exams from other high schools. My experience is too long and for years, I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students. I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

Sciences Tutoring, Homework and Exam Support (ages 8-16)
Sciences are some of the most challenging subjects in primary and middle school, and some of the most exciting nonetheless; I will help your child see the beauty and simplicity in the heart of physics, chemistry or biology, and thus excel at them. My approach is flexible. I can do any of: re-explain difficult material to the student; help with homework; supervise and guide them in preparation for exams and tests. All my teaching, however, is always accompanied by quizzes and questions to ensure understanding and gauge progress. I'm a high-school student specialising in these subjects, consistently scoring best-in-school scores for them for the past 5 years. Although my main area of interest in mathematics - I am a member of the Cyprus National Mathematics Team - my mathematical and educational passion swiftly translates into science tutoring talent. I already possess experience in teaching sciences, teaching a student in 9th grade biology.
