I specialize in English and French lessons to teenagers and Adults, in one on one or small group sessions, as well as in telephone lessons.
I help students perfect their grammar, vocabulary and syntax in business English(or French) or in conversational English(or French).

My approach to teaching is very close to coaching as I keep in contact with learners between lessons(by e-mail or telephone) to accompany them through their language needs and challenges.

Hi! I'm graduated in literature and philosophy and I'm teaching Italian (my first language) English and Spanish, for every age and level. I tailor my lessons for every student's specific needs. Available for teaching grammar and conversation.

I'm able to provide support in a range of GCSE examinations including Maths, Science, English Literature, English Language, Religious Studies, Psychology and more. We'll work together on a plan to help you get to the next stage in your academic journey, after all you know yourself better than anyone. I'll provide you with the tools to revise in the most efficient and rewarding way possible while cutting down on overall revision time!

My experience:

I've got extensive experience supporting others in an academic and non-academic setting. I have six years’ experience tutoring students aged 4 - 16 years old. I worked with students on their work assignments as well as setting extra work to help students reach the next level in their potential. I use scientifically-ratified methods to ensure students are working to the highest level of efficiency. I am able to work with students with SEN, using scientific tools like Pictorial Exchange Program to support students in their academic and social skills while reducing the likelihood of “meltdowns.” Over those six years, I honed my ability to break down difficult topics into easily digestible lectures for each child. By using a person-centred approach, I helped the students learn in the manner most effective to them.

I have a degree in Psychology BSc from Royal Holloway, University of London (ranked 9th in the UK for Psychology). I achieved an upper-second class with honours (2:1). This includes a first-class final year project. I undertook classes such as Learning & Memory and Developmental Psychology which gave me insights into how to achieve the highest level of productivity and information retention - tools that I utilised to complete my degree. I'm currently studying Medicine.

While at university, I worked as a peer mentor where I provided individualised support to first year students. My caseload of students where those who were nervous upon their acceptance to university. I aided them in their transition to university by creating a safe space for them to approach me with their academic queries and social anxieties. I have excellent interpersonal skills that allowed me to build productive relationships with my students wherein they felt comfortable approaching me when in crisis.

I am currently a Recovery Worker, providing support to homeless individuals in London. I specialise in providing person-centred, personalised support to entrenched rough sleepers with particularly high and complex physical, mental and substance misuse support needs. I have an outstanding record of ensuring my clients stay off the street and move along in their recovery process. This is done by having a keen eye for assessing individuals, even those who are difficult to engage and creating realistic and productive action plans. Through my dedication to belief in uplifting others and identifying a shortfall in the care provided to my most vulnerable clients, I created a successful partnership with the Premier League’s Chelsea Football Club to provide one-to-one health and fitness support to homeless people in London.

Moreover, borne from a drive to give back to my local community while at University, I organised, planned and executed a school-based programme. I partnered with Age Exchange, a charity dedicated to reducing loneliness in society's most vulnerable populations, to design a ten-week programme. I used cutting edge reminiscence arts and tactile objects to help rejuvenate the memories of those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. I liaised with local schools and care homes to link elderly individuals with local schools. Through this, I developed my ability to communicate efficiently and effectively online by creating a weekly newsletter for my volunteers, running a community page and keeping clear and open channels of communication with all parties. The programme was a tremendous success, earning the Queen's Award for Outstanding Voluntary Service which was presented by HRH Princess Anne. Furthermore, the Mayor of Runnymede came to visit, and it was featured in the local news. For my dedication to the voluntary service, I received a Gold Passport Award from Royal Holloway, University of London.

I believe I am the excellent candidate to help students fulfil their potential. I have excellent time management skills as evidenced by my exemplary community outreach work while studying towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I have the drive and patience to work with students who are struggling and the ambition to help those who would like to achieve more.

Being a medical student, I am well acquained with the English language. I am able to tailor my approach to the student's level and will be using different resources to achieve maximum benefit for students.

I aim to regularly assess the student to monitor progress.

I'm a British Born native English speaker with many years of experience in private teaching. I believe in cooperative working and building relationships with my students, so I will work together with you to design a course that will be best suited to your needs. This can range from exam preparation, interview preparation, academic drafts (articles, papers, theses), professional communication (reports, presentations), or even learning colloquial English and different accents.

I have also worked extensively with non-native speakers who have relocated to English speaking countries, and so I can provide a specially designed course to help integrate into the English speaking world.

Courses can be as short or as long as you require.

Classes can be online, or I can travel to a location that is convenient for you.

English taught for younger children or pre-school could be relative to reading, writing and comprehension. Where I’ll be working to improve their handwriting and vocabulary by doing regular engaging activities.

For GCSE students the following content for Literature would be covered for:
-Macbeth
-An Inspector Calls
I’ll be teaching some writing structures for each, as well as some content on key analysis. Student is already expected to know all the basic storylines, characters and some analysis. But I may repeat it for you if you’re confused.
For Language, content would be covered for:
-Language Paper 1 and 2
-Creative Writing
Writing structures will be taught for each question. Some examples given and also a lot of creative writing work as it’s my specialty.

Korean language trends – growing popularity and demand in 2022
Were you around when Psy’s “Gangnam Style” song hit the global billboards and reached billions of views worldwide in the space of weeks? It’s hard to forget this. But then there’s also BTS with their hit song “Dynamite”, which made it on the Billboard hot 100 charts. How about the movie “Parasite” which won four Oscars at the 92nd Oscars award ceremony in Los Angeles? It’s true. Through films, dramas, music, culture, and cuisine, the “Korean wave” is making its wave around the world.

I will work one on one with you on any subject that you would want to work on. I am more skilled in Math and know everything form basic algebra to calculus 2 and can help with English and grammar. I'm from America, so I took AP Literature and Language and Composition for English and Calculus BC (1 and 2) for math (equivalent to A - Levels) and got 5s on all of the tests. I prefer to meet with you for the lessons, understand what you need help with, and I can help create a game plan with you and prepare you for what you need. I love to meet and work with other people and I can make time to your needs as well.

Hi guys!

Welcome to my class!
Here, we will learn all areas of the core primary subjects- Maths, English and science
I aim to provide an engaging and stimulating environment making learning fun all the way through
We will have regular quizzes and recaps to make sure we consolidate all the learning we have done so you don’t forget a thing!

Hello! My name is Karla. I have gained 11 years of experience in teaching English in a range of schools, and most recently, a proven track record of educational leadership as KS3 Coordinator/ KS4 Coordinator, respectively, from 2022-24. I continue to foster a love of literature and I'm excited to support more students with their studies. I attribute my positive relationships with students and their progress to my ability to design and deliver engaging, differentiated lessons that cater to individual needs. I employ various assessment strategies to track student progress and provide timely feedback, ensuring continuous improvement. In addition, I have been tutoring online since the pandemic and have developed skills using Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Drive. It is my continued goal to make education accessible to all students.

Lessons will follow a path of progression, teaching them how to approach the next levels of theoretical and practical competence. Allowing the students to understand their Progression and their path forward increases the likelihood they will continue studying.

Lessons are flexible, and curated on a student-to-student basis as well as making sure to incorporate what I believe they need to achieve the next level. This involves; practical training, ear training, building on theoretical knowledge, as well as learning songs they love to ensure they feel fulfilled and have fun with the new language.
