Katie Spencer — Tutor of the Year 2025
When Katie found out she'd been named Tutor of the Year 2025 by Gateway Qualifications, she was stunned. What makes this award so meaningful is how it was earned: through heartfelt nominations from her own students.
From a national shortlist of ten outstanding tutors, a judging panel reviewed each finalist anonymously — scoring based on the strength of the nomination alone. Katie's stood out.
With 14 years of experience teaching science and a passion for supporting learners — especially women in STEM — Katie brings warmth, clarity, and deep subject knowledge to every lesson.
“This is absolutely a team award, not mine.”
