I specialise in Online English tuition, covering all texts in the GCSE and KS3, along with essay writing practice and exam revision. My services also include online adult functional skills tuition. My mission is to help students become more confident in their English skills and to provide them with the tools and strategies for success.
A little about me in the school setting
My roles have allowed me to build on a range of areas that I have been interested in for some time. My focus on ‘pedagogy’ has been developed towards ‘praxis’ – the idea that one reflects and acts uponp ractice to transform it. What I have learnt is that a narrow focus on the classroom isn’t enough. Instead,an effective system is one which develops productive and synergistic relationships between learners,families, and the community, and that a deep understanding of the context in which you work, the locality and the culture in which learners live is crucial. I believe we have started on exciting journey here proceeding and developing positively on recent Ofsted feedback – building on those to ensure that learning really is a community endeavour in the best possible sense. My ‘curriculum’ will not stop at the door of a classroom, or the school gate but will be a transforming powerhouse for all living in the community. This, in practical terms could be parenting support in the form of coaching and peer support; providing evening classes in basic skills, parental revision classes to help them best assist their child. It could be using the school buildings as a base of local CPD provision, for meetings, for collaboration among local departments.

Science Clinic Private Tutors was founded in 2010. Our vision was to help struggling children understand the concepts of the major subjects which are sought after by many colleges & universities. Our tutoring was mainly in the main subjects (Maths, all 3 Sciences & English Language) to exam students only. Because of the huge demand of tutoring in all year groups, we now teach students across the board from Primary (KS1 & KS2) through to GCSE, A-level and University. We were luck to have had colleagues we share the same vision with join us. Now we can teach all subjects from Primary through to GCSE, College /A-levels and Science & Maths at University level. All our teachers / tutors are graduates and qualified teachers with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) who understand the National Curriculum. Some of them are examiners at GCSE and A-level, which means they know the exam techniques students need to answer the exam questions properly and get better grades. Within the team, we have professionals with very high qualifications ie Masters Degrees (MSc / MA) and PhDs in various subjects. We can, therefore, be confident to say we are professionals who are dedicated to what we do with proven records in the UK’s most entrance and national exams. We are a tutoring organisation that is defined by its professionalism. Our aim is to provide a personal service. This makes us very different from most tutoring companies that just offer a platform for tutors and students to meet. We speak to clients so that we can match them with the most appropriate tutor for their needs. When this happens, the results can be remarkable & confidence grows. We personally know all our tutors and all have had DBS checks and their qualifications checked before we take them on. We are also a member of The Tutors’ Association (TTA) which was formed in 2013 to provide standards to the tutoring industry.

I am currently a Medical student at Keele and a graduate from the University of Salford, achieving a 1st in my degree in Human Biology and Infectious Disease. Achieving the highest mark within my university. I was responsible for a programme known as GEMMS which is for supporting students in their medicine/dentistry applications, assisting them in interview technique and for the entrance exams.
I have mentored and tutored for 5+ years, helping students to achieve grade 9 in maths. I currently tutor Mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry for A-levels and below.
I am a fun person who particular loves his sports. Seeing the improvement and progress a child can make in a short amount of time is always the best feeling and I strive to help you achieve your goals and beyond. Sometimes having that 1 to 1 session can make all the difference in clearing up any worries about a topic.
I begin my classes by asking the student what they want to learn or discuss during the session. If they have a doubt in a concept, I will ask them to explain the same concept to me in their own words and correct them wherever necessary. I will provide some good methods to study or approach that topic. I will conclude the lesson by asking them if there is anything they would like to discuss in our next session so that I could prepare some questions in advance. I will also regularly be assessing your improvement through the use of practice papers to get an idea of where the student is at and how they can further improve. I strive to get the best out of my students.

Hello, my name is James, a Montessori qualified educator, offering rich, creative, imaginative lessons drawing on years of experience as a teacher and consultant in order to bring the curriculum to life, each lesson tailored to the specific needs and interests of the child.
After co-founding my own Montessori childcare setting in Bristol, which I ran as the lead teacher for 3 and a half years, (2017 - 2020) I went on to offer webinars for parents and educators as a consultant with Montessori Centre International (2020-2021), the training college I completed my diploma with. I have continued working as an independent consultant in the period since, with specific focus on embedding the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum in new and exciting ways, primariily for children aged 7+ through project based learning.
Drawing on Montessori Pedagogy and Philosophy I know through my own lived experience the entire curriculum can be successfully taught to the child by observing their interests and creating lessons that directly inspire their heart and imagination, increasing curiosiry and engagement in the classroom. E.g. if I observe a child of four with a fascination for dinosaurs I can use this as a jumping off point to teach Literacy, Storytelling, Phonics, Mathematics, Handwriting, Geography, Geology, Anatomy, Animal Kingdoms, Plant Kingdoms, Chemistry, History, and infinitum! All through a play based learning approach. For a child of seven with a love of babies we can teach World Cultures, Life Cycles, Human Geography, Physical Geography, History, Economics (tourism industry), English Language, and infinitum! This is the perfect age to provoike inquiry based learning and critical thinking, the child fascinating with 'How' and 'Why' questions. This deep thinking level curiosity ought to be encouraged at every opportunity. Teaching need not be as boring as sitting down and saying, "now we're doing this," we insire the imagination through movement, storytelling, big questions, provocative statements, laughter, humour, the joy of learning and exploration. The child will move seemlessly through the curriculum, ticking the boxes of all the Key Stages and more; because in Montessori we teach the universe, the cosmic education, as I navigate through Maria Montessori's 'Great Lessons' from the Big Bang, to The Story of Numbers (#MakingMathsExcitingAgain).
Your children will have a lot of fun with Montessori James, as I am also a trained professional clown, so we will have fun with humour and playfulness.

REVIEWS - TOP 5* TUTOR on TTYH, Sherpa, Tutorhunt, FirstTutors and Superprof
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Sophia will be attending Channing from the Autumn Term 2024! You have my heartfelt gratitude for all the efforts you’ve put for Sophia. I really appreciate it." - Manning A ✩✩✩✩✩ - "I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for me and all of the hard work you put in. I am so happy with my results. I got an 8 in English Language and 7 in English Literature with distinction. I honestly did not believe I could achieve such results but you always believe in me and showed me what my true potential was and now I am unbelievably happy with me results. Thank you so much for everything. I truly would not be this happy and in this position if I didn’t have you as my tutor." - Zunaira
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hello Hayley just to let you know that Iona got a 9 in her English Language today and an 8 in her English Literature. The language is particularly impressive as she was regularly getting 5’s and 6’s. Thank you for teaching her how to answer and structure her exam. She always had the ability but not the appropriate teaching and encouragement for her. We are very grateful for your expertise and help. I have another daughter and might be in touch!" - Karin H ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Thank you very much for your help Hayley. Ria did outstandingly well with 94/100. An excellent effort from both of you to pull that off in 7 weeks." - Pika
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley, I just wanted you to know that Alice got an 8 in English Language and a 9 in English Literature in her GCSEs. We are all completely delighted! Just wanted to let you know and to thank you for your efforts and fantastic teaching. It's so appreciated." - Hannah W ✩✩✩✩✩ - "My daughter failed her mocks before Easter. I contacted Hayley to try and turn around a miracle for us. I cannot believe my daughter is sitting here with an ‘A’ and accepted to Durham. Hayley is honestly a miracle worker and I would recommend her any day. Fantastic and professional. Don’t hesitate to contact her." - Faiza
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley taught me for A Level English. I have progressed so much in the last 3 months and today found out I achieved an A*. Thank you so much for your help and I couldn’t have done it without you." Priya ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Over the past year, Hayley has been an excellent tutor for my son. The 11+ tutoring has been of an extremely high standard, and we have been able to see the progress each week. Hayley was great at building a solid relationship with my Son, and her communication skills were outstanding. She was always on hand to answer any questions. I would highly recommend her." - Trudi D ✩✩✩✩✩ - "We contacted Hayley very last minute for a little extra support for A level History. She has been really helpful, supportive and reliable. Offering some much appreciated sessions in the lead up to the exams. Thank you Hayley!" - Diana S ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley is such an attentive tutor, whose guidance has greatly aided me in reviving my love for English Literature. Her wide-ranging knowledge and enthusiasm truly helped me to gain a better understanding of what was required moving closer to A-level exams: even motivating me to take up more accurate, concise and precise methods of exam revision. Not only is Hayley's knowledge of the specification and the texts incredibly accurate and easy to translate into essay writing, but overall she is a kind and funny tutor, who made our weekly English sessions really engaging and enjoyable. I greatly appreciate having had the opportunity to work with someone so dedicated to their craft and, evidently, passionate about their subject. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment, your support has reminded me why I picked English Literature in the first place and taught me that there is so much more to love about it too. Moving forward, I have no doubt in my mind that all our collective efforts will pay off in the final exams. Thank you, Hayley" Bindu ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley has tutored my science-loving English-tolerating DS for the last two years, for English Language and Lit at the IGCSE level. DS is home-educated, so Hayley has done the bulk of the work in guiding DS through the work, setting him essays and going over these with him. DS has gone from merely tolerating English to enjoying the subject (and getting top marks as well). He has developed real insight into literature and is now capable of holding an intelligent conversation about poetry, novels, and plays, with solid insight and analysis. This is in no small part due to Hayley's enthusiasm for the subject and her outstanding teaching skills. DS and I will be forever grateful to her for sparking his interest in this subject and look forward to working with her as DS embarks on IB English." - Frances H ✩✩✩✩✩ - "I've worked with Hayley for a few months on English Language and Literature. I had become home-schooled and wasn't at all confident in topics regarding English in any way. In the first session we planned out how we would split the lessons between the two subjects, and also got to know each other very well. Although Hayley is an excellent tutor, she has supported me in every way. She is extremely reassuring and so kind, and anyone would be lucky to have a single lesson with her! I'm devastated that our lessons have come to an end, however I am confident I have done extremely well in my exams, and it's all thanks to her. I have been so fortunate to have learnt from her, and would absolutely recommend it to anybody struggling with English in general, or even just needing support with revision. I honestly owe it all to her!!" - Adelle ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley is absolutely 5*. She is so well prepared for each session and is patient and pitches the work perfectly for my son managing to keep him engaged and interested. She has absolutely surpassed my expectations, I would highly recommend her." - Ilker

Tutor Profile
I am a professional violinist, violist and conductor, studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. I also teach conducting, violin, viola, and chamber music at the Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians in Essex. With over nine years of tutoring experience, I also offer private tuition in violin, viola, orchestral conducting, music, music theory, philosophy, history, essay and dissertation skills, english literature, classical civilisation and violin performance.
From the age of 17, I have taught violin and viola to a variety of students, ranging from children and adults beginning their studies, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I began working as a freelance academic tutor, and taught Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature, Dissertation Skills, and Classics to A-Level Students. I have since developed two years’ experience, in which I have taught over 900+ hours of educational content with a diversity of tutoring organisations and online education platforms. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting. I worked as an Assistant Music Teacher at a Sixth Form College, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. I have also worked with academic summer schools in Oxford to prepare Oxbridge hopefuls for their entrance examinations.
My academic expertise is strongest in the fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching both Violin and Viola, as well as Music, History, Philosophy and Writing Skills to final-year undergraduates. I also teach Classics and English Literature to a first-year undergraduate level, and I have intermediate reading skills in French.
Additional Professional Credentials – Violinist and Recording Musician
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
Approach to Teaching
– I favour a structured approach to teaching. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. I also inform the design of my classes through a constructive dialogue with my students. This enables me to structure my lessons within a curriculum that meets my students' specific educational needs, and serves to enable my students to achieve tangible improvements in their academic performance and musical ability.
Academic Tuition
– My academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar style format, in which I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.
– I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
Musical Performance
– Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo etudes, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements.
– I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece.
Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements.

As a tutor, I focus on creating an engaging, supportive, and interactive learning environment tailored to each student’s needs. I begin by assessing their current understanding of the subject to identify any gaps or areas for improvement. Then, I break down complex concepts into simpler, digestible parts, using clear examples and real-life applications when possible. I encourage active participation, asking questions and prompting students to think critically and problem-solve on their own.
I also integrate a variety of teaching methods, such as visual aids, hands-on activities, and practice exercises, to cater to different learning styles. Patience and empathy are key aspects of my approach; I work at a pace that suits the student’s comfort level while pushing them to challenge themselves.
Additionally, I focus on building the student’s confidence and developing a growth mindset, ensuring they not only understand the material but also feel empowered to tackle new challenges. Regular feedback, progress tracking, and encouragement help foster continuous improvement and motivate the student to stay engaged and excited about learning.
