GCSE & KS2-4 English Language and Literature Tutoring – Personalized Support for Success
Hello! I’m Zakaria Bhaidka, a dedicated English Language and Literature tutor with experience working with students across GCSE, KS2, KS3, and KS4 levels. I am passionate about helping each student reach their potential and gain a genuine appreciation for English. With experience supporting students of all abilities, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), I take pride in tailoring my approach to fit each learner’s unique needs. I’m familiar with popular resources, like CGP revision guides and key GCSE texts, which I incorporate to make each session effective, enjoyable, and closely aligned with the curriculum.
Working with SEN students has taught me the value of patience, adaptability, and creating a supportive learning environment. I’m focused on building confidence and trust, so each student can feel at ease, engaged, and open to learning. My background includes mentoring and tutoring young people as well as taking care of children with special needs while working with SNUFS (special needs under fives). This strengthened my ability to connect with students and make learning approachable.
**About the Class**
In this class, I provide targeted support for students preparing for their GCSEs or seeking to strengthen their English skills at KS2, KS3, or KS4. My lessons cover critical areas such as reading comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, and analysis, all tailored to each student's abilities and learning style.
For GCSE students, I am well-versed in the curriculum and commonly studied texts like *Macbeth*, *An Inspector Calls*, and key poetry anthologies. I integrate these materials into lessons to ensure students not only understand the content but also develop strong exam skills through practice exercises and mock exams. Familiarity with past paper questions allows me to prepare students for exam-style scenarios and boost their confidence.
For younger students, I focus on building a strong foundation in reading, grammar, and writing. I design interactive, creative exercises to spark a love of English and critical thinking that will benefit them long-term. For students with SEN, I adapt my teaching techniques to be accessible and flexible, using a variety of learning methods and pacing the sessions in ways that suit each child.
My approach is friendly, encouraging, and tailored to support each student in achieving their goals, whether they are looking to boost their grades or grow in their love for the subject. If you’re looking for a committed tutor who understands both the curriculum and the importance of individualized learning, please reach out—I’d love to help your child succeed in English.

My goal is to build confidence and inspire a genuine love for English in every student I work with.Education
I completed my A-levels in English Language and Literature, Law, and Psychology, subjects that have given me a strong foundation in critical thinking, analysis, and communication skills—essential elements for teaching English effectively. I also have a solid academic background with a total of 9 GCSEs, including English and Maths. Currently, I am pursuing a BSc in Psychology, which enriches my understanding of learning processes and helps me better support students, particularly those with unique learning needs. My background equips me with the skills and knowledge to help students excel in English and approach their studies with confidence.Experience / Qualifications
I have experience working with students across a range of abilities and needs, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I’ve supported students both one-on-one and in small group settings, helping them to build essential skills in English Language and Literature and develop their confidence in preparation for exams. My work includes tutoring younger family members and mentoring students, which has taught me the patience, adaptability, and empathy needed to connect with each learner effectively.In my tutoring sessions, I focus on creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their ideas. My experience with SEN students has taught me to tailor my approach to each individual’s learning style, breaking down complex topics into manageable steps and using diverse methods to suit different needs. This background, along with my strong foundation in English from A-levels and my ongoing study of Psychology, enables me to offer students both the academic support and encouragement they need to thrive.

Each lesson is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, with activities that make learning exciting—like games, short writing exercises, and group reading time. We’ll also focus on building confidence in using English, whether you’re writing a sentence, reading out loud, or spotting grammar mistakes.

Everyday English and Chinese! Language made simpleLearning a new language can feel like trying to read IKEA instructions—backwards. But don’t worry, I’m here to make it simple, practical, and even a little fun (yes, even grammar!).
Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been ghosting Duolingo for months (we’ve all been there), this class is for real people who want to actually speak Chinese or English in daily life.
🗣️ What you’ll get:
• Real conversation practice – no robot-sounding textbook stuff
• Useful words and phrases (like how to say “I’m lost” and “Where’s the bathroom?”—top priorities!)
• Pronunciation help so people actually understand you
• Cultural tips so you don’t accidentally insult someone’s grandmother
• 1-on-1 lessons, so it’s all about you
Whether you’re trying to order hotpot in Mandarin without burning your tongue 🔥, or finally want to say something in English other than “Hello, my name is...” – this class is your safe, supportive space.
🧠 Bonus:
We’ll laugh through the mistakes (yes, tones in Chinese can betray you 😅), celebrate the wins (you ordered coffee in English and it wasn’t a disaster!), and help you feel like a language legend in no time.
🌱 Build Real Progress
One lesson is a great start — but you’ll see real, lasting progress after a few sessions. That’s when you’ll start surprising yourself with how much you can understand and say. Think of it like planting a language seed — let’s water it together and watch it grow! 🌿
Ready? Bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack), and let’s start speaking!
