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.)
/ Nicki W.
I have been teaching for 17 years, specialising in Key stage 3 and Key Stage 4 English Language and English literature.
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 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.
English, Spelling, English Literature, Religious Studies, and Basic Maths lessons in Basingstoke, UK.
As the Head of English at my current school, I have been a fully qualified teacher for 8 years, successfully carrying multiple year groups through the new 9-1 English GCSE.
I have a comprehensive knowledge of the Literature texts, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol and An Inspector Calls, while also having a secure knowledge of the Power and Conflict Poetry Anthology. I also have extensive knowledge of the English Language qualification, and have orchestrated and run intervention on this particular aspect of the English GCSE for many years now.
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).
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.

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.
