I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad.

I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.

Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.

I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.

I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Extra information
We will create our own folder of resources and exercises that students can look back on for revision and practice. Please provide an empty folder so we can begin doing this from our first lesson.

About Me
My name is Khadijah.

I am a friendly and approachable individual with a love of learning and I am currently completing my Masters degree in Global Futures and Sustainability. I graduated with a first class honours degree in English with Creative Writing from Queen Mary University of London.

I have been teaching students from primary school to GCSE level for the past seven years and have a multitude of experiences coaching and mentoring young people in educational and community-based settings. I have supported students both in the UK and abroad, and have also taught English with several charities both online and in-person.

When I was doing my GCSEs, I had a wonderful tutor and mentor who always supported and encouraged me to do well at school. If possible, I would love to be that person for someone else, and work in a role where I can use my skills to nurture and inspire young people.

Therefore, I would welcome the opportunity to tutor you/your child and assist them in reaching their full potential!

I have a special passion for creative writing, which I specifically studied in my joint honours degree (BA English with Creative Writing), and specialise in producing stories, written poetry, and spoken word poetry which I have previously performed at events. I have run creative writing workshops for children at previous educational centres and love to make writing enjoyable, engaging and exciting for all of my students at all levels.

Dynamic and motivated teacher of 33 years (Graduate of EDHEC, Scientific Baccalaureate with honors, 2 years of preparatory class EC scientific option and 5 years of experience in private home-based courses), I propose courses and intensive reviews in Mathematics all levels and all sections until the Terminale.

May 2026: academic IELTS online and in person in London for university entrance and general IELTS for visa application. Average "grade" after 3 months (fact): 6.50 points. Summer courses for English as a Foreign Language focusing on grammar and speaking. Preparation for Life in the UK test - cultural and historical facts which will help you with the pub quiz besides worthier pursuits. For English I expect students to be literate and to be over 11 (age of secondary school admission in England). I don't tutor "groups". One-to-one is the mode of work, occasionally two in a class. You will be encouraged to develop your own academic or cultural interests (based on European culture) and do a presentation per class unless a test has priority. You will be writing a whole paper (IELTS) for each module as homework, paying particular attention to the written paper for graphs and charts and essay construction. Each lesson will involve revision of what was covered in the previous lesson. Learning by heart is encouraged!

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

Chinese is a very interesting language and the grammar is very easy when you learn the tricks. In learning this language, you can appreciate the evolution of Chinese culture. And many Chinese sayings are related to historical stories. It can also bring you more job opportunities. Since few people learn this language, you will gain more advantages if you can master it.

I am from Guangdong, China, so I am fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. I can make the simplest way to express what you want to say. Also have a conversation with you and help you practice your Mandarin through daily situational conversations.

In my experience of learning a language, the best way to learn is to use it more on a daily basis

I can aid students from preschool to IGCSE/GCSE level in English, Verbal Reasoning, and essay writing. Having achieved an A* in both English Language and English literature, I am passionate about teaching children how to love the subject and excel in their examinations. I have tutored English in the past to both preschool and IGCSE pupils, offering a dynamic and interactive teaching style that helps nurture a child's love for English and creative writing. I have access to the poetry pamphlet taught in most schools for IGCSE, but can access whatever syllabus is needed for a specific exam. I also have created several worksheets for students who are learning English as their second language. Having studied French, German, and Latin at school, I am aware of the etymology of many words which will allow students to connect meanings across their language to understand the literature fully. In my free time, I write poetry and novels and can share many teachings I learnt on a creative writing course I undertook in 2016.

Private tuition in English Language and Literature. For those students preparing for exams I like to take a syllabus-based approach while also allowing time to further explore any specific areas of personal interest the student may have. If a student is not working towards exams but requires private tuition, my aim is to approach the English subject enthusiastically and broadly, highlighting the vast range of approaches that students can take towards discovering new topics, practising new learning techniques and exploring their own personal interests within the subject in the most educationally enriching way possible.
If a student is having difficulties at school I believe I have the skills and personable approach to transform their learning into discovery and demonstrate this process to be appealing and exciting. Learning should never seem like an obstacle. Instead it should be seen as something that enlightens a student to their own potential.
