Assia

:I began my academic journey studying English, French, History, and Classics at A-Level, which ignited my passion for languages and historical studies. I furthered this by pursuing a degree in History and Arabic at SOAS, University of London, including a year abroad in Alexandria, Egypt. After graduating in 2020, I contributed to the National Tutoring Programme, providing academic support to secondary school students both in-person and remotely. In 2023, I completed a distinctive interdisciplinary MSc at the University of Edinburgh, focusing on the Globalised World through International Relations, History, Sociology, and Anthropology. With over a decade of tutoring, mentoring, and teaching experience since 2014, I am deeply committed to fostering academic growth and a love for learning in students of all ages.

Teaching Experience:

• 10+ years of private tutoring in English, History, and Global Perspectives, helping students engage with topics such as sustainability, political power, cultural change, and human rights.

• 8+ years of GCSE English Language and Literature tutoring, including government-funded initiatives supporting students' academic recovery post-COVID.

• 5+ years of online tutoring, guiding students in developing research, critical thinking, and essay-writing skills for global studies.

• Experience with international students, tutoring pupils from Egypt, Turkey, and beyond in global themes like transnational history, conflict resolution, and socio-political structures.
