King's College Literature MA graduate giving bespoke, individually tailored English Language and Literature classes

I have a track record of helping 11+, GCSE, A-Level and IB students improve their grades by at least two marks, and many of my students have graduated in the top 1% of their class. I also have considerable experience with helping students write personal statements which (given they've met the grading requirements) have secured them a place in Russel Group universities including Oxbridge.

As an editor and writer, I also provide lessons in creative writing.

I tutor clients in areas ranging from:

- A Level - English Literature and Language
- GCSE – English Literature and Language
- Pre-GCSE (KS1,2 and 3) – English
- Undergraduate Degree Level – English
- 11+ (English, Verbal Reasoning)

In the first lesson, I provide a detailed assessment of every student. I start by gauging what my student feels they need help with and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. Then, together, we will come up with a detailed study plan.

I have tried and tested methods of preparing students for their exams whether it be helping them understand essay technique, close reading of texts, understanding literary techniques, preparing revision material or learning how to speak and/or write persuasively. According to the needs of the student, I can also assign homework so that the student can maintain their engagement with the topic until the next session.

I believe everyone learns differently, and it is my responsibility as a tutor to understand the tutee's learning style so that I can tailor my lessons to the student at hand. This gives them a better chance at grasping linguistic and literary concepts, and, as a result, reaching their full potential.

Gus
English Prep Tutoring for Primary to Advanced Learners
Graduating with a First in English Literature in 2017 from Trinity College, Cambridge, I have tutored 250+ hours in the past two years, at all levels from 7+ to A-Level, and in exam boards from AQA to the UKISET for international students. I have taught both English and international students, and so am familiar with the varieties of difficulty that students can encounter and a variety of approaches for addressing them. I enjoy re-examining the elementals of the subject through tutoring. My students have all registered often substantial improvements and I continue to be asked back by different families if they feel they need a boost. I'm happy to provide references from students and parents. I have taught a variety of age ranges for school admissions from 7 to 13+. I have worked with students aiming for schools including Godolphin and Latymer, Harrodian, Kings Canterbury and Wycombe Abbey. The problems students have had have varied each time, from simple confidence and time-keeping issues, to more difficult ones like English being a second language or dyslexia. However every pupil I’ve taught so far has markedly improved and gained admission to at least one of the schools of their choice. I think my main strength as a tutor is an ability to explain concepts dealing with question structure and exam technique, and help the student to gently internalise them and gain their own confidence. I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise an organic interest in reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam requirements - but without making them seem restrictive or daunting. I really enjoy trying to individualise lessons for the student's specific needs and so will also try to stoke a personal interest and response to material studied, as I believe this makes for a much more enjoyable and painless process of learning. I am always keen to recommend or discuss specific books or authors of possible help or interest to students or parents. I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise an interest in reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam strictures and requirements - without making them seem restrictive or off-putting. I can also help with general essay-structuring/researching/writing skills in subjects not related to English. I can also help with Drama and Theatre-related studies.

Learn the French and French culture with a Native.
I have five years of experience as a French tutor with young teenagers and adult, from France and from abroad. My students would say about me that I am kind, patient, dedicating but demanding. You'll have to practice seriously but I'll make sure not make you feel overwhelmed. You'll learn to speak, read and understand the French, and will have the opportunity to dive into the French culture and literature. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry you'll soon be able to speak fluently.

Darvin
I teach English, Greek and Spanish classes for children and teenagers.
Teacher with more than ten years of experience, I have lived, studied and worked in Greece, Spain and England. My experience with both languages has given me the ability to teach other people in a dynamic and professional way. I offer to learn about your goals, your level of English, Greek or Spanish and thus design personalized and direct classes so that we can achieve your goals together. My greatest satisfaction is communicating with my students in the languages I have already taught them. I teach the classes online because I also work for the cruise line. I greatly respect my students and their goals, but I always make it clear that mutual respect, mutual schedules, and mutual commitment are the only three points that I try to have in common with my students, since those points reflect that we are going to meet our goals. I love to bring up topics about almost everything, doing pronunciation exercises. I truly believe that if we use what we do throughout the day to create an increasingly extensive vocabulary and we are persistent, I think that in a short time we can achieve very good results. I am a specialist in breaking the ice and creating the best closeness or complicity to get the most out of my dear students, I assure you that learning English, Greek and Spanish will be fun and one of the best experiences you will have!!!
