Teaching is my third and final career and I love it. I have over 25 years experience of helping students of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. I am a qualified teacher with 14 years in classrooms, teaching English and law, and I'm also a qualified journalist and solicitor. I found school very challenging myself, so I completely understand why many very bright students don't do as well as they could at school. The truth is, school isn't always the best place to learn. The current situation means that by September, most of the current cohort of students in year 10 are not going to know what has hit them. GCSE has become increasingly difficult since 2008 and the 2015 reform means that it is exceedingly difficult to get above grade 6. I anticipate that this year's year 11 cohort hoping to study English at A level will be similarly shellshocked. The gap between GCSE and A level is enormous and even students with a predicted grade 8 or 9 are likely to find the A level daunting to say the least. I offer one to one support online using facetime, zoom and Google docs for students able to type.
I also offer small group preparation for both next year's GCSE and A levels in both language and literature to ensure that in September they hit the ground running. These sessions are done using zoom or at my home in Ealing. Tutoring Experience:- Since 1998 I have helped literally hundreds of students to:-
* achieve grade A/A*/9 in GCSE English both literature and language;
* get into a wide range of top London schools both private and selective grammar schools including St Paul's Girls, St Paul's Boys, Henrietta Barnett, Tiffin Girls, Eton, UCS, as well as Merchant Taylor, Godolphin and Latimer, Haileybury, Hampton, John Lyons, Notting Hill and Ealing, Kew House, St James', Kings College Wimbledon, Haberdashers Askes, St Helen's Northwood, Northwood College, Royal Masonic, Habs Girls, Harrow School, Northbridge House, St Augustines, Brighton College and Latymer Upper * win scholarships to Harrow School, UCS Northwood College and Notting Hill and Ealing High. I also help children aged 4 and above who are struggling with English, French or maths. In 2019 I had five GCSE students who attend state private schools, and three who attend private schools including St. Pauls Boys; six 11+ primary students and four home-schooled students aged 7, 12, 14 and 16.
I am pleased to say that out of the 8 GCSE students, 7 got grade 9 for both English language and English literature. The other student got 9 for literstliterature for language As for my 11+ students, in February this year all 6 of them got places at their first choice schools which were NHE, Latymer Upper, Kew House, Tiffin Girls, Henrietta Barnett and Northwood College. I also see several adults on a regular or ad hoc basis, for example Claudette who is 58. Initially I helped her with GCSE English in 2016. I then supported her during her Access course. She's now halfway through her degree in physiotherapy at Birkbeck.
Background information:- My first teaching experience was as a volunteer, teaching Adult Literacy from 1985-1987 while working as a freelance journalist.
When I completed my LPC in 1994 I started tutoring law while waiting for a training contract to manifest. Halfway through that training contract I realised that I preferred working as a tutor to working in law and left law.
From 1995-97 I taught at a local boys preparatory school - Durston House - while completing my vocational training part time as a solicitor. I began tutoring fulltime in 1998 when I realised that although working in the law is fascinating, it's not a lifestyle I want, and I have been tutoring ever since. From 1999 to 2012 I was teaching English fulltime in a sixth form college which specialised in English at all levels from Functional Skills and IELTS, to academic English i.e. GCSE, Access, and A Level language, literature and lang/lit. I continued to see a few private students, and in 2012 I returned to fulltime tutoring. Ad hoc help:- Apart from tutoring, I also help adult students with their theses and dissertations, teach them how to edit their work properly, how to ensure that they are not straying off topic, and how to improve their vocabulary and expression. I can do this online or face to face. Help with personal statements, applications for research grants and CVs is available face to face or via Google docs. Children- and adults- with disabilities:- In the last 22 years I have taught literally thousands of students and many of them have had disabilities including deaf students, visually impaired students and students with cerebral palsy, as well as students with learning difficulties including AS, APD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. I have studied the growing problem of both ESOL and native speaking English students who have difficulty in drawing inferences from what they read. My method of teaching uses a very carefully selected range of texts to focus on intensely in order to determine whether further investigation is appropriate. I am not qualified to diagnose autism but I have successfully taught many students on the spectrum. Tutoring Approach:- Alongside teaching, I have studied the psychology of learning and have many tools at my disposal to teach the skills that today's students and job seekers need. If you are struggling in school, college or university, it is not your fault. My job is to ensure that you do not need a tutor as quickly as possible while offering ongoing support if necessary. I believe that given the right atmosphere, attitude and support, anyone can succeed. A stressful environment makes learning almost impossible, so my lessons are extremely relaxing. Students are usually amazed at how fast the time passes. At the end of the session I ensure the student understands everything covered in that session, and may ask for the student to complete an appropriate length homework to bring to the next session. My motto is "self talk determines destiny" and I help students to unlearn the idea that they can't do something. My approach is first to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student. The first session is designed for the student (and their parents) to assess me, as well as for me to work out the student's current level of ability and their learning style. In subsequent sessions the most important thing is to ensure that the student has no gaps in their understanding of the subject and what is required. So I always begin at the beginning and usually students progress very quickly through the first phase. Once they are reasonably confident and have caught up with their school's expectations, I begin to stretch them, at their own pace. I believe that students want to do well but are self-conscious and dislike asking for help at school as it makes them feel stupid. Lack of basic understanding results in lack of self confidence which can easily develop into becoming withdrawn or disruptive in class, or hating the subject. It is quite easy to turn the student's attitude around once they realise that they can succeed, so I do a lot of confidence building exercises and use praise and humour to help them see what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right. As a result of this, their self esteem is enhanced and they become more willing to contribute in class and take risks, rather than sitting in the back of the classroom praying for the time to pass. I use my own resources which I have developed by studying assessment criteria and objectives of all of the boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC) as well as the specifics of GCSE and IGCSE. For 11+ and CE I use a wide range of texts that are demanding and lend themselves to students learning how to explore linguisruc effects. I prefer to tutor at the student's home because I think students feel more secure and relaxed in their own home, however students can of course, come to me if this suits them better. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions as long as the student feels comfortable with that. I am always happy to consider teaching friends at the same time to keep costs down (max group size 4 students), and am happy to negotiate an appropriate rate for group sessions. Such sessions take place in my home. Please note the following:- 1. I charge a supplement of £7.50 to travel upto 3 miles as well as a residents parking ticket if necessary or reimbursement for parking costs;
2. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation or payment in full (except for travel time) under all circumstances including sudden illness.Whenever possible I will offer a session later in the week but this is not always possible.
3. On Sundays I only teach from my home;
4. For distances beyond 3 miles radius of my home, the minimum session is an hour and a half. This can be shared between siblings, or between subjects eg maths and English, maths and French or English and French;
5. For distances beyond 5 miles radius of my home, I charge for one hour of my time, or an uber in both directions, whichever is cheaper, instead of £7.50. These sessions are also a minimum of an hour and a half, which can be shared between siblings or subjects;
6. All GCSE and A level students are welcome to send me essays of upto 1000 words to comment on between sessions. There is no charge.for this service. Finally, if you would like references from current or previous students (or their parents) please just ask.

Thank you so much for your help at the last minute. Michael got A for Literature and A for language.
•Shivam C, December 2013 successful applicant to Princeton:
Laura helped me with all the essays over whole weekends perfecting the essays. We were working in a very short time-frame. She was always very patient. Her calm demeanour and attention-to-detail was a huge aid for me to get into Dartmouth College (best undergraduate teaching in America). I would recommend anyone to get Laura to help them with any essays they have. She would be equally splendid as a teacher in English writing skills or grammar, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.

I can also provide lessons for IELTS as I had been Ielts trainer for 3 years.I also did 150 hour advanced TEFL course recently.Currently, I am tutoring KS3 students with TeamUp in English in Oakwood School,Hillingdon.I love to share knowledge with children and motivate them to achieve their goals.
Hi! Welcome to my page!
Who am I? My name is Devinder and I'm an online tutor. I love teaching and I hope you will be interested in the academic services I have to offer. My 5-star reviews can be read here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069584765662&sk=reviews HOW WOULD I BENEFIT AS A STUDENT? If you are a parent or carer, then your children can benefit from private lessons in English (up to KS2), Maths (up to GCSE), Science (GCSE), Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. This way of learning would not only boost their confidence but also increase their results in 11+ entrance, SATs and GCSEs placing them ahead of their peers. Past pupils sitting their entrance exams have gone on to apply to their chosen schools and university with proven results. Students would have access to vast resources including a catalogue of at least 200 books full of techniques and past papers to help support and boost their education. Learners are offered a personalised tuition plan catered to their individual needs, goals and learning styles. Learners can expect to have their knowledge gaps identified and appropriate resources selected to help them close those specific gaps, in a caring yet challenging manner. Tuition is not a side hustle for me, it's my main vocation. Not only does that mean more attention for your child but also availability during daytime through school holidays or if you are based overseas. WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM YOUR LESSONS With +10,000 hours teaching experience, you can expect a lot. Firstly, there is a free consultation so you can assess whether we make a good fit. All lessons are prepared in advance to make the best use of tuition time. Curriculum-aligned material is taught, learners’ understanding is checked systematically, misconceptions identified accurately and clear and direct feedback is provided. In doing so, knowledge gaps are identified and content repeated to plug gaps where appropriate and embed learning. Common errors are shared to help student prevent making them in their practice and in their exams. I use a collaborative, interactive, online whiteboard which is free and simple for my students to use: no holding aloft shaky notepads aimed at the webcam. This allows me to watch and check students' understanding in real time. Unlike other tutors, I do not use Zoom/Google Meet or Teams. I subscribe to a special educator platform which has been rated 5-star by its users. Using the `I Do, You Do, We Do` model, students are told what they need to know and how to do it, then we work on a task together to help student become more confident with new learning and finally student individually uses what they have been shown to demonstrate proficiency using practice questions or repeating back to me what they have learned. EXAM PREPARATION STRATEGY Construct a solid foundation of knowledge Exam technique tips Practice (practice practice!) past papers in the weeks/months preceding exam SKILLS OFFERED Excellent, deep subject area knowledge of curricula Strong ability to explain concepts in clear and simple terms Engagement with students of assorted abilities and backgrounds QUALIFICATIONS I hold a Bsc (Hons) Biochemistry from a Russell Group University and a PgDip Analytical Chemistry. I spent the first two years of my university programme studying maths. I'm DBS checked and my qualifications and certificates are available for inspection.

Maths tutor for years 1-6.
Professional individual looking to help younger kids enjoy and develop their mathematics skills.
Hello, I am an experienced primary school teacher based in Hackney. I have predominantly focused on supporting and helping children reach age expected expectations at the end of KS1 - year 2. I have a warm and friendly nature and can build strong and positive relationship with my pupils.
I am a very experienced, friendly primary school KS2 teacher. I know the KS2 curriculum very well and have taught it for many years. My aim is to offer personalised tutoring, employing my abundant knowledge of varied activities that can make all the difference to a student who may be struggling to learn or who needs to boost their confidence.
I have a wide range of activities and I know where excellent activities online are, just from my considerable previous experience. My teaching always includes as many kinaesthetic hands-on activities and short quizzes and opportunities for the pupil to recap and reinforce their learning.
Studied Maths and Chemistry at A level achieving A's. Currently teaching GCSE and A level Mathematics at a school in Watford. I am a patient teacher and try to understand my students methods and way of learning before teaching them. The aim is to cover all topics and achieve 100% on past paper questions by exam time.
One of my peers from school and I co-founded a project in our school named "Physiothetics" where we collected pull tabs from cans around the school to donate them to the Prostheses Foundation of Thailand to aid in the production of prosthetic limbs for disabled beings. As one of the co-founders, I helped pass this project down to one of the younger years after I graduated. This rewarding process was well advertised around the school from us making posters to promote the project to us going around primary school and engaging in activities involving accessories made by pull tabs to help students understand the need of recycling pull tabs and donating them. This has helped me develop my skills of working very well with young people and people in general as I can easily communicate my ideas to my peers. A week-long experience at the reproductive science lab at Mahidol university where I learnt a lot about carrying out processes involved in IVF such as cryopreservation, sperm extraction and washing techniques. making pipettes and using them to extract oocytes from cat ovaries. I also spent a few hours each day doing in-depth documentation of what I had observed. I felt this was quite closely related to my field of study so I used it to get more practical experience. The work I did here definitely made me more meticulous and detail-oriented. Our school hosted a student leadership conference where students from other Southeast Asian schools attended this conference and me being one of the leaders organised this conference. The conference focused on sustainable development goals and product advertising and development. As a student leader, I had to manage the communication between our school and other students, plan out engaging activities and tasks and formulate an itinerary for the students so everything is organised. I learnt a lot about leadership and what it takes to be a leader and I also understood the importance of communication and the difference it can make in the efficiency of certain tasks. As an intern at MedConsult Clinic, I shadowed a GP observe them do tasks such as taking a patient's blood pressure and giving them an injection. I also performed other tasks at the clinic such as managed appointments for patients, attended patients, directed them through the clinic, and advertised the clinic on social media. In working with the GP, nurses and other interns in the clinic, I developed my ability to work in a team and understood the importance of teamwork. Additionally in advertising through making posters I was able to better comprehend the needs of consumers of such healthcare services and how to appeal to them.

General Science and Maths lessons in Harrow, UK.
Elementary Maths lessons in Harrow, UK.
I have been teaching ever since I graduated from the Pedagogical Institute; working in schools, both abroad and in the UK, mainstream and special needs. And for the past twelve years, I am happy to work as a tutor with students who inspire and motivate me to continue in my profession.
I tailor my lessons to suit the needs of each of my students. I identify learning gaps, devise study plans, prepare learning materials and help children to develop fearless learning attitudes.
If your child's grades are slipping at school, tutoring is the best option where your child will gain confidence in the subjects they are behind.
I tutor students of varied ages and abilities and provide learners with opportunities to explore their skills and celebrate their achievements.
I find tutoring work most rewarding as it allows me to give targeted help to each individual learner and see the results.
Zoom/online option is available. It is a sure way forward for distance learners.
I am passionate about teaching and education, and have recently achieved a Masters with Distinction in Teaching and Learning from University of Herts, as well as completing a Primary Education degree in 2013. I lead Primary English and am in my eighth year of teaching, currently with Year 5/6.
I have been teaching for 8 years and am currently teaching full-time in a mixed Year 5/6 class for a fourth year, I have also taught in Year 3 and 4. I have a 2:1 in Primary Education from Winchester University as well as an MA Distinction in Teaching and Learning from the University of Hertfordshire.
I have a very good knowledge of the primary curriculum and expectations for each Key Stage. Being the English lead at school means I also have a good knowledge of teaching phonics and reading/writing across the age groups, however I am also extremely confident in teaching Maths. I can be flexible in teaching either primary aged children or those in their beginning years of secondary school.
Due to my experience, I am confident in teaching and supporting children with a range of abilities and needs, as well as across a range of topics. Building a positive relationship with your child is key to me helping them develop a mindset and attitude to their learning which helps them make progress and feel confident.
Outside of teaching I love long walks (especially with my cheeky cockapoo puppy!), cooking, reading, yoga, macrame and socialising. I live in Hitchin and teach in Welwyn Garden City - I would be willing to travel around these two areas.
As I am actively teaching in a school, I am fully DBS checked and up-to-date on recent training and educational initiatives. If a convenient time is unavailable on the schedule listed here, please contact me to arrange an alternative time.

As a dedicated and passionate PGCE student, I am excited to apply my skills and experience in a tutoring role while I continue to build my teaching career. I bring a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and stimulating learning environment where each child can achieve their full potential. My teaching journey has been shaped by diverse experiences—including classroom placements and private tutoring—which have strengthened my ability to tailor learning to individual needs.
Throughout my BSE1 placement in a Year 6 class within an EAL school, I worked closely with pupils from a range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This experience helped me develop adaptive teaching strategies and a clear understanding of how to scaffold learning effectively. I consistently aligned my teaching with the National Curriculum, used formative assessment techniques, and prioritised inclusive approaches—key skills that now inform how I personalise learning in a one-to-one tutoring context.
In my role as a teacher partner in a Year 3 classroom, I supported a wide range of academic and emotional needs. Collaborating with the class teacher, I led small-group interventions, created tailored resources, and provided pastoral support where needed. These experiences have translated well to tutoring, where I take a focused, pupil-led approach—adjusting my methods to ensure each child feels supported, challenged, and confident in their learning journey.
My one-to-one work as a GCSE tutor supporting five students has been particularly valuable in developing targeted instruction and feedback techniques. I built strong relationships with each student, quickly identifying gaps in understanding and adapting my teaching style accordingly. I promoted independent learning, resilience, and a growth mindset—core principles I bring to every tutoring session. This role also enhanced my communication with families, ensuring ongoing progress and shared expectations.
Academically, I hold a Distinction* in BTEC Business Studies, and my background in Law and Criminology has strengthened my analytical thinking, organisation, and understanding of behaviour and safeguarding. I am confident in applying statutory guidance such as Keeping Children Safe in Education and committed to ensuring pupil wellbeing in every learning environment.
Beyond formal settings, I have volunteered in after-school clubs and led activities that foster creativity, teamwork, and engagement. These experiences have broadened my classroom management skills and informed my tutoring style, which is interactive, positive, and tailored to each learner's interests. My personal interests in reading and sports enrich my ability to build rapport with pupils and make learning enjoyable.
I strongly align with the values of Be Strong, Be Kind, Be Proud, which I actively embed into my work with children. I encourage a “give it a go” attitude, nurturing resilience and helping children learn from mistakes. I model kindness and create a safe, respectful space where learners feel valued and able to express themselves. In every tutoring session, I strive to build pride in their progress and support both their academic and emotional growth.
I fully understand that tutoring, like classroom teaching, requires patience, adaptability, and a continuous learning mindset. I am driven by the progress I see in pupils and take pride in supporting them to overcome barriers, achieve goals, and become more confident learners. With a strong foundation in pedagogy, assessment, and child development, I am excited to bring high-quality, individualised support to pupils as a tutor.
