From 35 £ /h

I am a creative individual who believes people learn better through connecting to real life experiences. My sessions are student led and not teacher based. We will learn through storytelling and creative self-expression which will encompass qualities such as leadership, confidence and critical thinking - the skills very much needed for the fast globalized environment we live in today. Let's learn English creatively through talking/writing about what's popular, culture, passions, countries and people.

I am a very driven individual when it comes to education. I am willing to work hard and I can guarantee excellent progress over a short period of time. Also, I have over 11years experience working within education. This includes preparing children for SATs, Phonics Screening and other major exams.

Children will be exposed to a well broad and balance curriculum. There will be regular assessment cycles to measure impact and progress. This information will be used to produce reports. Lessons will be fun, personalised and accessible to all learners. Homework will be given after each lesson to consolidate learning.

Maths, English and Spanish GCSE can be very difficult. I have a grade 8 in both Maths, English and Spanish GCSE, therefore with my guidance, I can help obtain any grade you desire. I give a good balance of challenge and ease for every one of my students. If you have any weaknesses, we will work on them continuously. In addition, we will skim over your strengths. To see your progress, I will test you from time to time.

I will be teaching the basics of English and help your child understand the language. I will be doing various activities in order to improve their reading, writing and speaking. They will learn how to structure sentences, reading fluently and improving their vocabulary.

In my lessons, you’ll have teaching which will be suited to your needs. As a tutor of experience of 6 years, I have all the tricks and tips needed to get into Grammar Schools, to stay on top of your class, to achieve A’s and A*’s (8,9) at GCSE level too!

Language coaching is similar to any other coaching situation like in sports, singing, acting: it helps create training situations, offer feedback, provide encouragement and give direction to help facilitate the most effective and efficient learning experience for each individual.
As a language coach, my role is to assist you with your needs in:
-Planning.
-Assessment.
-Encouragement.
-Ideas.
-Resources.
-Techniques.

Teacher of KS2 in English and Maths and Science at KS3
I enjoy teaching students of all abilities, I have recently been tutoring English and Maths from home and i found it very rewarding.
In the past i have taught GCSE Biology and managed a large team of teachers. I have since retired from my teaching post and have focused on teaching KS2 students and preparing for the entrance exams in Secondary schools.

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'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 .

Currently tutoring in a private class. Each lesson will take up to 1 hour. Will have personal conversations with students and get to know the sections that they are struggling and work with them. After each lesson revision will be given.Experienced tutor specializing in English and maths. Tailored lessons to fit your learning style.Improve grades and build confidence. Flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs

I specialise in tutoring maths, English or chemistry from reception up until GCSE standard. I want to help challenge students and help them reach their highest possible levels. I want to be involved with parents and establish a strong working relationship.

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.

I am a focused teacher who is eager to bring the experience of working with children ages 7 to 19 to tutoring. Well-versed in creating appropriate lessons and encouraging engagement through games and storytelling. Skilled in helping students reach developmental milestones when maintaining and improving student outcomes. And an expert in creating purposeful lesson plans and measuring students' progress through assignments, exams, and standardized assessment tools, encouraging individual growth.
I am also a published author and experienced artist.
