If you want to improve your English, I can offer a fun and creative learning experience.
Each lesson will be bespoke to your needs such as focusing on speaking, grammar, writing, and much more.
Become confident using the English language in the workplace or integrate into British life.

Weekly assigned homework and monthly round assessments to make sure students knowledge is consolidated throughout teaching, the lesson will be centred and paced around the students level of understanding and capabilities, my teaching style is flexible to all types of students.

Literacy and Numeracy skills can be challenging for pupils to acquire, whether this is decoding/ spelling for pupils with Dyslexia; comprehending aspects of language for pupils with Autism or maths related anxiety for pupils suffering with poor academic self-esteem, these sessions will improve the necessary skills to build a strong foundation and supporting progress in academia and development of other skills needed on a daily basis.

Learning should always be fun!

Skills can be developed through honing in on interests and making learning relatable to real-life incorporating games and quizzes to not only improve literacy and numeracy but working, visual and auditory memory skills as well as supporting metacognitive skills (independence and organisation) Focussing on developing skills with high repetition and low stakes testing to increase ability and confidence.

I am a qualified and practicing SENDCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) in a secondary provision responsible for designing and implementing successful interventions to improve these skills. I am a qualified teacher with a PGCE in Science and over 15 years of experience working with young people with special educational needs, with a genuine passion for teaching and supporting individuals learn and grow.

I am a dedicated and qualified teacher with a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. My expertise lies in teaching primary-aged children, focusing on two core subjects: Mathematics and English. Within English, I specialize in all facets, including writing, reading, and phonics.

With a strong foundation in pedagogy, I ensure that my teaching methods are engaging, effective, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I am committed to fostering a love for learning while helping children achieve academic excellence.

In addition to core subject instruction, I also offer comprehensive SATs preparation. I understand the importance of these assessments in a child's educational journey and am dedicated to equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel.

My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where children can thrive academically and grow as confident, independent learners. I am excited to embark on this educational journey with your child and help them reach their full potential in Mathematics and English, preparing them for future success.

As a First-Class Business and Management graduate from Durham University and an A* student in A-Level Business Studies , I have the skills and knowledge to help you achieve your academic goals. I believe that with the right guidance, anyone can excel in both degree and a-level business courses. I can teach you how to structure your essays, research your topics, cite your sources, and write in a professional tone. In my class, we will work together to overcome your challenges and boost your confidence.

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 help students develop English language skills through engaging creative writing exercises and activities.
My classes are more than grammar and vocabulary - we discover the art of storytelling and self-expression.
If you are a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an advanced learner aiming to take your language proficiency to the next level, I will help you find your unique voice in English.

I have always helped people translating things and helping out people with things they need in english or spanish, became passionate about teaching both, spanish is my first language as i’m from colombia and i love teaching english and making it easy for people to learn it too

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.

English and Physical education classes on offer. I am a coach at Crystal Palace youth academy, this means daily, I am working alongside some of the best talent England naturally has to offer. as well as my devout passion for sports and PE learning. I am also really keen to be involved in English classes, spanning from English literature to public speaking. I feel as if I can really make a difference to whomever needs the additional help.

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.

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!
