I offer individual tutoring online and in my home to those who are sitting GCSE and A Levels in English Literature and Language. I am also very keen to help slightly younger pupils who need help with general English skills like: reading, comprehension, grammar and punctuation, and general writing skills. I am also very keen to help adults who need help with written and spoken communication skills
I'm a recent graduate looking to help other students who struggle with the disguised complexity of essay subjects achieve their desired grades in a friendly, patient and approachable manner. I have helped many other students and friends of mine informally with their writing, and they always point out how easy it becomes once I lay out the correct formatting for them.
With guided practice, I can help students break down intimidating essay questions into manageable parts, build clear and convincing arguments, and express their views with confidence. My goal is to make academic writing feel less like a chore and more like a skill anyone can master with the right support.
Maths, English, and Reading lessons in Slough, UK.
For nearly 10 years, I have been working both as a private tutor and a schoolteacher, teaching predominantly Spanish and English to students of all ages and abilities in person and online. Following a lifelong love of languages, I studied Spanish and English Literature at GCSE, achieving A* and A respectively, and at A-level, achieving B and A* respectively. In 2015, I advanced my studies at the University of Reading, where, in 2019, I obtained my BA in Spanish and English Literature. In my year abroad, I studied in Mexico (University of the Americas Puebla) and Cuba (University of Havana). Since graduating, I’ve taught thousands of hours of Spanish and English online to hundreds of students, reaching the top of the Spanish tutor ranks on another platform and receiving dozens of positive, predominantly five-star reviews from satisfied clients across the continent. Knowing from personal experience how challenging learning a foreign language or mastering the art of essay writing can be, I aim to facilitate the process for my students by personalising my lessons to their individual needs. Personable, passionate and productive, my mission is to help my students not only achieve but exceed their goals.
I am at the forefront of contemporary educational practice and possess excellent communication skills. My lessons are well structured and I am creative in my delivery of the curriculum. Furthermore, by incorporating discussion and real-life applications, I am able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive class atmosphere. These strategies have helped me improve classroom participation and knowledge retention. In addition, I continuously assesses my students and use that information to track student progress, and locate areas of weakness to better plan and identify misconceptions.
French, German, and English lessons in Bracknell, UK.
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.
I am a current Master's student at the University of Surrey, looking to take on several students. I graduated in 2022 from the University of Bath with a 2:1 in Politics and International Relations BSc, and received A*s in Maths and English at GCSE level, and an A in Maths at A-Level. I previously worked as an Analyst at a Financial Communications consultancy.
I'm highly numerate and am experienced tutoring in Maths up to GCSE level and English up to KS4, as demonstrated by my role as a Tutor at a certified private tuition centre, Cherry Hill Tuition. I'm flexible on rates, so please contact me to discuss further.
Hello there,
I am qualified English teacher with extensive successful experience teaching in both state and independent schools. In addion to my degree, I have 3 post graduate qualifications, including a Masters in Educational Management and Leadership (Distinction) - the dissertation of which was on raising the attainment of pupils on Pupil Premium. I am a former School Principal with over 10 years of leadership experience. I have extensive experience in tutoring Key stages two to GCSE level. I have have
Raising the academic attainment of students has been a deep passion and successful achievement - as a former Founding Principal of a school for 4- 16-year-olds, a current practising English teacher, and a tutor. I am currently teaching English on a full-time basis and therefore have up-to-date knowledge in English Language and Literature. I have significant experience teaching remotely. In addition, I have extensive experience in marking GCSE English Language and literature papers. Over ten years, 98% of my tutees have entered elite grammar schools (a few students have gained scholarships each year, too). During the last two years, 97% of my English Language tutees have achieved levels 7-9 in GCSE English Language and 96% levels 7-9 in GCSE English Literature.
I am well-resourced in teaching face-to-face or online. An initial consultation with parents and tutee, possibly a view of the school reports, will enable me to gather necessary information about your child. Importantly, the tutorials enable me to obtain first-hand knowledge of your child, enabling me to plan my lessons for the individual.
I look forward to working with you to raise the attainment of your child in an engaging way
Warm Wishes,
Yasmin

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.

English and English Literature lessons in Reading, UK.
Hello and welcome! My lessons in Maths and English are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to suit every learner’s needs. I believe in creating a supportive and encouraging environment where children feel confident to take risks, ask questions, and enjoy the learning process.
In English lessons, we focus on developing strong reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Lessons often include shared reading, vocabulary building, guided writing tasks, and group discussions to improve comprehension and expression. I love using stories, poems, and creative writing prompts to spark imagination and build language skills.
In Maths lessons, I take a hands-on and visual approach to help children understand key concepts in number, shape, space, and problem-solving. We use games, manipulatives, real-life scenarios, and step-by-step strategies to build fluency and confidence. I ensure that learning is paced well and differentiated so every child feels both challenged and supported.
My lessons typically follow a clear structure: a warm-up or recap, main teaching input with active participation, followed by independent or group work, and a reflective plenary. I use continuous assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement, adapting plans to support every child’s progress.
With a BA in Primary Education and QTS, plus valuable experience across Key Stages 1 and 2, I bring effective teaching practices, patience, and creativity into every lesson. Whether we’re cracking word problems or crafting persuasive texts, my goal is to make Maths and English enjoyable and meaningful for all learners.
During my university degree, I completed a teaching placement at a secondary school, where I planned and delivered lessons aligned with the national curriculum, gaining hands-on experience in classroom management, differentiated instruction, and student support across a range of abilities.
Work: Currently leading content and creative strategy for the University Calisthenics Association (UCA), where I manage media campaigns, brand communications, and community-led storytelling to promote calisthenics as a tool for social impact and youth empowerment.
Educational: Recently achieved a 2:1 BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics, which developed my communication, planning, research, and critical thinking skills.
Personal: Passionately engaged in calisthenics and fitness, using it as a personal, educational tool for social transformation, and as a social outlet for self-discipline and mental wellbeing. Alongside this, I work as a freelance photographer and creative, capturing everything from live events, with a strong focus on visual storytelling and community culture. Currently working towards my NCTJ Journalism qualification too.
A dynamic teacher with in-depth experience in foundation phase education, including adapting lesson plans to students’ personal abilities while utilising modern educational technologies for overall learner engagement and development. Reputed for strong teamwork abilities and an eagerness to learn.
I am eager to fill an exciting new position where I can contribute to young children’s intellectual, emotional, and physical development while fostering positive relationships with colleagues, students and parents.
