English Language & Literature Tutor For Primary, Secondary & A-Level

From 26 £ /h

English can be a subject many find hard while at school. My aim as a private tutor is to get my students to learn to like English as well as improve their grades.
I teach a range of ages and levels. One hour or more depending on how the student feels. After an initial test a solid plan will be made for the student so that the outcomes of the course are outlined from the start. Every 6 weeks a progress test will be given so that we can mionitor the progress being made and allow for more challenging opportunities.
I love the subject I teach and I hope to omit that onto my student so that they avidly want to attend my lessons and leave feeling as though they have gained knowledge.

About Me

My name is Alex and I'm an experienced private tutor. I've been tutoring English for 3 years.
My aim is to make English enjoyable for all my students and allow them to improve their grades while having fun. I don't tolerate any rude behaviour and homework must be completed in the timeframe given, if this does not happen my students are given sanctions.
I love teaching my subject and hope to omit my passion onto my students as well. I encourage my students to come to class with a smile even though sometimes they might not feel like working at all. I find that a smile and a happy environment is the best place to learn and improve.

A recent English Literature graduate, I am keen to impart my knowledge and passion to others. I have experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students using AQA and OCR, though I am open to studying the specifications of other exam boards if need be. This, alongside my experience as a babysitter, taught me the value of remaining patient and emotionally in tune with the needs of others. I ensure that my sessions are enjoyable and tailored to the needs of each individual student as I believe all students possess different learning styles and work at different paces.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to my phonics class, where young learners embark on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of phonics! This tutoring class is meticulously designed to guide children through the progressive phases of phonics, from Phase 1 to Phase 5, equipping them with the essential skills needed for reading success. Led by experienced educators, this interactive class combines structured lessons with engaging activities to make learning phonics a fun and rewarding experience.

Throughout the classes, children will:

Discover the Phases of Phonics: From the foundational Phase 1, focusing on listening skills and environmental sounds, to the more advanced Phase 5, exploring alternative spellings and tricky words, students will traverse through each phase at their own pace.

Explore Diagraphs and Trigraphs: Children will delve into the world of diagraphs (two letters representing one sound) and trigraphs (three letters representing one sound), such as 'sh', 'ch', 'igh', and 'ear'. Through interactive exercises and examples, students will master these essential phonetic combinations.

Practice Blending and Segmenting: Using a variety of fun games and activities, students will hone their skills in blending sounds together to read words and segmenting words into their individual sounds.

Develop Sight Word Recognition: We'll introduce common sight words at each phase, helping students recognize them instantly to enhance reading fluency and comprehension.

Build Vocabulary: Through engaging stories and word activities, children will expand their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of language.

By the end of the classes, children will have acquired a solid foundation in phonics, empowering them to tackle new words with confidence and embark on a lifelong journey of reading and discovery.

All materials are provided. Join us on this exciting expedition through the phases of phonics and watch your child's literacy skills flourish!

When it come to teaching primary school Maths and English, I believe in the power of engaging activities, visual aids, and real-world examples to help young learners grasp concepts effectively. I want to teach children by making the lessons fun and engaging as well as building confidence and self esteem in each child.

I have a fun, caring and enthusiastic nature, where I believe that learning should not just be restricted just to what is in text books I am passionate about teaching and have 11 years of experience working with children from EYFS to Year 6 supporting with phonics and SAT's interventions as well as working with children with special needs.

I am patient, nurturing and energetic and will ensure all lessons are engaging and very interactive. I will provide extra support to those children who need more time to process and learn and will provide the relevant learning tools too.

I am more than happy to arrange homework as well support parents too.

I am French and studied in France before coming to the UK to finish my master’s degree. Additionally, I have a CELTA teaching certificate in English as a Second Language.
I know how difficult it is to speak a different language from your native one. Personally, I went through the process myself, so I can help you overcome any barriers. The goal is for you to learn and improve your English. I gained over 20 years of experience by teaching English to children from 6 to 18 years old and adults. More than anything, it gives me satisfaction to see my students express themselves with confidence.
