Basic Maths, English Literature, Science, Phonics, and Home Education lessons in Reading, UK.
I'm now in my fifth year as a newly qualified primary school teacher at the Ridgeway Primary school in Whitely, Reading. I have mainly taught across Key Stage 2 but have some experience in Key stage 1. I am looking to offer support during these difficult times for parents homeschooling their children and I am doing this free of charge. I have experience and a substantial subject knowledge in grammar, literature and maths at primary level. I am currently working from home and have a high availability.
Hi, I am a second year student in Reading studying Primary Education with an English specialism. While my degree focuses on primary, I am a confident instructor all round when it comes to English literature, poetry analysis, and developing essay writing at various academic levels and in many academic subjects.
Exams coming up next year? Do you have the knowledge but struggle to put it on paper? Perhaps you're not a fan of poetry and need help understanding it? If any of these apply to you feel free to reach out.
I’ve been teaching in a local secondary school since 2004. I have vast experience with both AQA and Edexcel syllabi for both A Level and GCSE. I’ve worked as an examiner for both KS2 and KS3 SATs and can deliver sessions on these levels easily.
I am a teacher of English and Drama of 22 years experience at schools and I have been an English and Drama tutor for these past 2 years
I have served almost 25 years as Head of English at a strong independent school. I am also a very experienced examiner, leading teams with AQA, OCR and Cambridge International, both at GCSE and A level.
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.
Customer Feedback:
"Fiona is a super tutor." (Paula, mother of A-Level English Literature student and English Language & Literature Oxbridge applicant)
"Fiona tutors my Daughter for A level English Literature. She is professional, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and inspiring. We are very lucky to have to have found Fiona and recommend her whole heartedly. Thank you Fiona." (Sara, mother of A-Level English Literature student)
"Great expertise and really helpful couldn't have got through without it" (Tami, student, A-Level English Language)
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!
Hello there,
I am a Spanish and English Graduate from the Russell Group University of Leeds with over 3 years tutoring experience. This began with a mixture of guided reading coaching, teacher shadowing and teaching EFL tutoring in Madrid for two consecutive summers. Here I was entrusted with independently researching and collating my own lesson plans to markedly raise the linguistic level of nine-year-old Alejandro. Within a week, Alejandro could form the second and third conditional clauses in English, a high-level requirement for a student of his age. Personally, this taught me that flexibility is paramount in engaging students and improving their confidence; there is no one-size-fits-all method to tutoring.
I currently provide professional online GCSE tuition in English Literature and Spanish for “Tutortoo”. Although I am accustomed to teaching individual pupils, I am also regularly entrusted to teach large groups of 30+ with the company “Elite Medics”. I am well-versed in Spanish AQA and Edexcel exam structures and mark schemes and am confident in my online communication and engagement. I prioritize student feedback, seeking suggestions and confirmation that tasks are fully understood. In turn, I ensure that I tailor classes around their needs and passions in order to ensure a successful academic output. I also enjoy testing consistently on topics from weeks before, to develop a long term learning method.
Within Spanish, my study placement in ‘La Universidad de Oviedo’ allowed me to grasp the colloquialisms and conversational that textbooks occasionally fail to master. Whilst I will provide you with the expected tools to meet the marking criteria, I also seek to inspire and motivate with the sense of joy and spoken confidence that I gained from my experience abroad. Other formative leadership experiences, such as teacher shadowing and guided-reading coaching, armed me with the skills to effectively communicate with Primary and Secondary school pupils in an assured manner. Through witnessing the linguistic improvements of Alejandro in Madrid and the ongoing development of my current pupil, I am assured that my optimistic attitude, paired with a thorough knowledge of my chosen subjects, facilitates the academic growth of others.
Within English, I am passionate about discovering the inner creativity in my students. Originality of ideas was the key contributor to my recent Dissertation success, as well as my A-Level achievements. I will thus not only hone the pupil’s articulate and engaging writing style but also cultivate confidence in their own instinctual ideas. For this reason, I consistently repeat the mantra that “There is no wrong answer” during my English lessons.
Regards
Ruby

Hello there,
I am a qualified English teacher with extensive successful experience teaching in both state and independent schools. In addition, 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.
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. 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.
Warm Wishes,
Yasmin

I teach AQA RE Specification A but have experience with Edexcel and am familiar with the AQA Specification B syllabus. I am a calm and innovative teacher who ensures every student is taught at their level of understanding until confident to be challenged to work at a higher level.
With over 10 years experience of working within Key stage One, I am currently Year two teacher in a small village school. Prior to that, I was year lead of a large three-form infants school managing a team of 6 teaching staff. During my teaching career I have experienced working within the curriculums of the EYFS and Key Stage One. I have taught a wide range of children with a varying degree of additional needs and have seen them succeed in their educational journey.
Rising to the challenge of the pandemic, I successfully transitioned a team to online learning where I oversaw the provision of engaging lessons that allowed the children to continue to excel at home. As an individual I have always been celebrated for my hardworking, conscientious and professional attitude towards my role, both as a teacher and as a leader. During my teaching career I have dedicated myself to being fully embedded within the school community where I acted as a School Governor and have trained many student teachers. Combined, these experiences have strengthened my organisational skills and have helped me become a patient and approachable practitioner. My passion for teaching and learning is deep rooted and I have always strived to ensure that I deliver inspiring and creative lessons, which allow all children to succeed regardless of educational needs.
With confidentiality in mind, I have excellent communication skills, and I am able to convey relevant information to both children and adults. Working closely with the school SENDco and ELSAs, I have held many honest meetings with parents conversing on a wide range of issues. In close conjunction to this I monitor and record any and all safeguarding issues. It is my responsibility to provide equal opportunities to all learners, including those with neurodiversity, to ensure all learners can reach their full potential. As part of my role as Maths Coordinator, I have led, coached and mentored many members of staff through workshops, initiatives and classroom strategies. On a weekly basis I work collaboratively with my team to plan engaging, high quality lessons which reflect the interests and needs of the children within the cohort. With differentiation and individual needs in mind, I have assisted many colleagues with the planning and implementing of personalised plans that are tailored to individual needs. Using my creativity as an Art Coordinator and through my strong links with the community, I have overseen many art projects which have been displayed to the public. Through my subject leadership and Year Leader roles, I have been responsible for the tracking of the children’s attainment and plugging gaps when identified, as well as supporting all teaching staff. Working within Senior Leadership it has been my responsibility to mentor trainee teachers and to oversee their planning, teaching and learning. During their placement I would also complete end of week reviews, end of placement reports all while acting as the link between the school and their College or University. As part of my continuous professional development, I have attended many professional training courses, undertaken my own research and completed annual Prevent and Safeguarding training. With these accumulated skills, I am able to provide a safe learning environment, in which all children have a person to trust and are free to express themselves and grow as individuals.
