I have been teaching as a private tutor in the private education sector independently and through agencies across Hampshire for over fifteen years. I tutor full time and this is my business and full time career. Therefore, unlike many teachers who do a few private lessons here and there, I am fully committed and can spend all of my time preparing lessons and focusing on just my private students. I have taught children who are being home schooled, pupils who need some one to one tuition, group tuition, helped to run successful revision courses through an agency and prepared pupils for exams such as Common Entrance, GCSE's and SAT's (all of which I have had successful results with and have kept a record of.)
I have experience of working with several learning difficulties as well as behavioural problems.
I have taught in several schools across Hampshire and other areas of the country.
I am extremely familiar with The National Curriculum, different syllabuses and the variety of examination boards that schools use #/k#and stick to following these.
I have a firm, fun but fair approach to tuition and encourage pupils to work to the best of their ability through praise and reward. I always follow up lessons with advise on what areas need to be improved upon, followed by a positive and encouraging remark about the pupil's work so that confidence is not lost.
I enjoy providing parent's with continual progress reports after each session and offer advise as and when it is needed. I am happy to provide references on request.
I always offer an initial assessment before sessions commence so that I can get a general idea of how I can help the student, and for the student to see whether they like my teaching style. After the assessment, lessons are carefully planned and prepared to meet each individual's needs/requirements. Continual support via e mail is offered (especially for those special cases like exam times, which as we all know can be very stressful for the parent and the student.)

I have been teaching for 17 years, specialising in Key stage 3 and Key Stage 4 English Language and English literature.
I am an enthusaistic educator who can offer highly personalised online tutoring. I am currently in my fourth year of teaching and my specialisms are English and media studies. I enjoy adapting my teaching and tutoring to match the pupil in front of me and to adjust my teaching style to suit the learner and can provide high quality tutoring particularly for those pupils preparing for GCSEs or the move up to A Level. I have experience in exam marking which I believe has helped me become proficient in what skills a pupil needs to hone these are transerfable to whichever phase of learning you are currently at. Contact me if you have any questions and I am happy to set up an initial lesson to see if my style is compatible to your needs.
English is an interesting and fun language and I can help make it easier to the people I assist. So, let's get on with it and ensure we ace that exam or job! I am an easy person to talk to and will make it my personal goal to ensure you achieve whatever you desire in terms of engaging in the language.

I have attended AQA literature and Language seminars and conferences where I have gained invaluable insight into the examiners reports and feedback from previous exams; enabling me to provide consistently up-to-date advice and knowledge for the students that I teach.
I am available to tutor during the week from 5pm onwards (Tuesday - Friday).
Thanks for taking the time to read my profile!
Is your child struggling at school and needs a confidence boost? Are they falling behind? Have they had to miss a lot of time from school and have some gaps that need filling in? Are they a really talented and capable individual and you want to push them as much as possible? In any of these situations (and more!) I can help you! My maths and English tutoring sessions are catered to your child's individual strengths and challenges, so that we can work on pre-agreed targets to help them be the best that they can be.
I have been a teacher for the last year in a Year 3 class, an LSA before that, and a tutor alongside both of these roles!
Education is fun, powerful and engaging - so ever since I've been in primary school myself I knew this was the career path I wanted to take.
Please reach out so I can answer any questions at all, with no obligation to take up the sessions if they aren't right for you. I can't wait to hear from you.
English, English literature and Drama lessons in Southampton, UK.
Qualified experienced teacher with many years tutoring children aged 8 to 16.
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.
