English Literature Teacher
I am currently in my third year of Secondary teaching at a comprehensive school in Surrey. I teach Drama for Year 7 through to Year 13. I also teach English to Year 7 through to Year 9.
I have a range of experience with SEND needs and can differentiate my teaching to meet any needs your child may have.
At the moment, I am only offering online tutoring. I am more than happy to be more flexible with my times if needs be.

Hi all, I am a fully qualified English teacher with 10 years experience and now have a few tutoring spaces available from next half term.
I have experience of teaching a wide range of different levels and an excellent track record of obtaining results that students (and their parents!) are proud of, that enables them to progress to the next stage of their educational journey - however that might look for the individual!
I have a wealth of experience and further training in supporting dyslexic students as well as students of a wide ability range up to GCSE level.
I tutor students from KS3 upwards and can tailor tutoring sessions to help support individuals with their specific needs. At GCSE level I have received further training with AQA and am extremely knowledgable regarding the expectations of the exam board for both the English Literature and English Language exams. I have taught many of the Literature set texts to a range of different ability levels and will tailor my teaching style to suit the individual.
If you’d like further information regarding tutoring sessions or have any questions please feel free to contact me.

I am a final year History student at Bristol. I have lots of experience working in primary school as well as someone to one tuition. I am confident, enthusiastic and really enjoy teaching looking to become a teacher after I graduate.
I usually teach for around an hour typically to primary school age but I am looking to teach some older years as well. I like to keep the lesson interactive not focusing on the same exercise for too long. I find primary school-age children struggle to focus on the same thing for a long time. However, what I like about tutoring one-to-one or in small groups is that it gives you a lot of space to be flexible depending on who I am teaching.

I am passionate about the literary arts; about their ability to communicate ideas and emotions and to help us make sense of the world around us. Tutoring has allowed me to share that passion with students of all age groups and with a wide variety of educational needs. I enjoy the process of finding the best path to helping an individual achieve their goals, whether that be essay structure improvement, gaining a better appreciation of a specific text, or attempting to boost predicted grades. So far, I have had an excellent degree of success with helping the majority of my students attain A and A* Grades at A-Level and GCSE.
I have taught a range of students, from primary school children, through to adult learners and university students over the past 10 years. I find the needs of each student are as individual as they are, and I usually like to keep the sessions fairly informal and discover exactly where it is that students are finding themselves in difficulties. This also encourages them to develop and have confidence in their own individual voice, both in creative writing, or in their approach to analysing a specific text.
Some of the areas I have experience in and have covered are:
-Boosting English Language and Literature grades at GCSE and A-Level
-UCAS applications
-Preparation for Oxbridge/ university entrance interviews
-Practical criticism and close textual analysis
-Essay structure and style
-Coursework guidance
-Creative writing support
-Historical context and its textual significance
-Literary theory and its application
-Helping students gain confidence in expressing ideas verbally
-Remote marking and feedback
-Suggestions for wider reading
-My particular research interests at university included: Irish Literature, Empire writing, W. B. Yeats and literary satire in the 18th century.

I have been a tutor for a few years teaching both face to face and online. To me, the most important thing as a tutor is to really listen to your student and let them explain what they may find challenging about a subject. Each student is different and therefore their lessons should also be unique. My students appreciate my friendly approach to learning and it is important that the students are in the driving seat of their lessons. I regularly ask my students what they would like to focus on and I base my lessons around where they can make the most progress.
I think it is important to have a tutor that is actively learning more about their subject of choice and that is why I am unique as a tutor. I am currently studying English literature with French and Spanish at The Universoty of Sheffield and this degree encompasses my strenghts and also what I enjoy. I am open to tutoring any ability level and I really look forward to meeting you!

I have been teaching English to 11-19 year olds in Secondary schools for over 10 years; I am currently a middle leader in a local secondary school where I teach the full age range including GCSE and A Level classes. I also have 5 years experience of tutoring; I tend to specialise in GCSE preparation for English Literature and English Language, however I have also tutored Year 6 students prior to their English SATs and KS3 students who are looking to improve specific skills in reading and/or writing in advance of beginning their GCSE courses. I can help with homework, as well as focusing on specific skills or curriculum content. I am very familiar with the CIE IGCSE English Language; the AQA GCSE English Lit and English Lang syllabuses and the AQA English Literature A level syllabus, including the NEA component.
In the current climate I am offering 40 minute teaching sesisons via Zoom. Prior to starting sessions with any new student I offer a free 20 minute consultation to discuss the areas which a student would like to work on and improve in. Consultations can be done via phone or Zoom depending on the family's preference.
I am also able to offer a remote work marking service where I can give constructive feedback and summative grades as well if needed/appropriate (i. e. at GCSE/A level). Please contact me to discuss pricing for this.

English Literature Tutor, Teacher
I have been teaching English for 25 years to various age groups coming from various ethnic backgrounds and driven by various reasons: from primary kids to post-graduate students. I am very empathetic and student-oriented. I have taught General English, ESP (English for Specific Purposes), English Linguistics, GCSE, EFL, ESOL; I am also a Cambridge Speaking Examiner for YLE, KET, PET, FCE and CAE. Although for more than 15 years I was mainly and heavily involved in teaching various aspects of English at a university level, I never lost touch with the secondary teaching in a permanent effort to keep myself in the loop in terms of teaching methodology. Being motivated to achieve the highest possible standards in work and conduct, I have always placed the education of my students at the top of my list of priorities. I believe that proficiency cannot be achieved in the absence of a strong set of moral values accompanied by an equally strong subject knowledge.
My teaching philosophy relies on several pillars as follows: (i) identifying the needs of the students, (ii) designing a well-structured plan and (iii) constantly pushing their upper limits while closely monitoring their achievement so as, at the end, their knowledge and skills are solid and pertinent. When exploring the mechanism of the learning process, anyone who has been in this profession for a significant amount of time comes to realise the overwhelming importance of another factor besides setting high standards, promoting progress and demonstrating good subject knowledge, and this is the psychological one. One cannot adapt one's teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of one's students without taking into account their intellectual and emotional needs that are very frequently extremely different.
