Currently working as a full time English teacher at a private school. My job isn't limited to teaching. My biggest priority, more than anything, is inspiring my students to realise their own potential. In my lessons, you'll learn not only how to pass your exams, you'll also learn how to develop a positive mindset that will help you find success as you go out into the world.
I specialise in tutoring English language and literature at GCSE and A Level, and have a proven track record of boosting my students' grades and helping them succeed. I have an excellent academic background, achieving A*s in English Language and Literature at both GCSE and A Level. I am very well travelled and have lived and studied in 8 countries including Sweden, Switzerland, UAE, Germany, Bulgaria, Ukraine, UK and Egypt, which makes me very well suited to teach students of different backgrounds and cultures. I also speak fluent Russian and Ukrainian. I spent my gap year travelling Eastern Europe and teaching ESL to foreigners, particularly in Ukraine and Bulgaria.
Tutoring is my full-time job and English Literature is my passion. I put a substantial amount of effort into my lessons and resources. I genuinely care about my students achieving the best possible grades and feeling confident approaching their exams. I take great pleasure in helping my students understand a difficult topic and every single one of my students have made significant improvements in the quality of their work, noticed by their school teachers within a relatively short amount of time.
Outside of tutoring, I am currently working on my first novel that I aim to publish in the near future. I love reading both modern and classical literature, and enjoy travelling, nature and cinema. I am fully DBS-checked and students/parents may request to see a copy of my certificate if needs be.
I have over 5 years experience in tutoring A-Level and GCSE English Language and Literature and have successfully helped all my students progress, grow in confidence and achieve higher grades. I have taught over 1500 hours online and possess excellent knowledge of the AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas exam boards. I can teach you exactly what the examiners are looking for and provide you with the exam skills needed to succeed.
I have helped both GCSE and A-Level students prepare for their exams through practicing text analysis, essay writing, poetry annotations and past papers. I can assist you with skills such as in-depth analysis of novels, plays and poetry, using linguistic terminology, understanding historical, social and literary contexts, and correct essay structure. I can additionally provide assistance with your personal statement, having helped many of my A-Level students with their personal statements, resulting in them receiving offers from multiple universities. I can also help you with your coursework, having helped many of my students excel in their NEAs. I also have extensive experience in 1:1 tutoring of primary school ages (6-11 years old), although the majority of my clients are A level and GCSE students.
I have taught various classical and modern texts on both the A Level and GCSE curriculums including Frankenstein, Never Let Me Go, The Handmaids Tale, A Streetcar Named Desire, Othello, King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol, as well as various selections of poetry such as Romantic and Victorian poetry as well as unseen poetry.
I am also experienced in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to students varying in ages from 6 to 25, and have successfully moved up students with beginner levels of English to intermediate and Pre-intermediate levels.
I have great knowledge of the UK curriculum, as well as the requirements of awarding exam boards.
My teaching style is very friendly, dynamic and patient, and I like to engage my students in active discussions about the subject, asking questions and prompting my students to think critically rather than handing them the answers on a plate. I tailor each of my lessons to the individual needs of every student, first asking what areas they struggle with, and then devising lessons that will provide my students with the help they need and effectively engage and motivate them. I know how to find the perfect approach to my students, which results in effective and enjoyable lessons. I like to incorporate meta-cognitive strategies in my lessons, and hear my students' interpretations about the texts we are studying.
I dedicate a lot of my time and effort into providing my students with excellent and valuable resources, in which I incorporate relevant content from past exam performance, exemplar essays and examiner reports. I present my resources in the form of PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, GoogleDocs and Word. I am happy to provide out of lesson support too, such as marking written work, or looking over anything you may struggle with.
As a Head of the Languages Department and Primary and Secondary Teacher in a school in Leighton Buzzard for over 10 years, I believe I am the right language tutor for you!
I'm fluent in Spanish, ( my native language) French, and English and have spent many years teaching and studying languages. I completed a bachelor's degree in Spanish and English at Manchester/ALmeria University (2008) and studied Spanish and English Literature in school (GCSE and A-Level) so I know how daunting grammar can sometimes feel and how stressful language/literature exams can be... but also how great it feels when you finally start getting it!
On the language side of things, I can help you with your writing, listening, speaking, grammar, and exam technique. I can help you with conversational skills if you're just looking to go traveling or make Spanish/French friends.
On the literature side of things, a large part of my degree was literature-based, so I would be very happy to help any Literature students if you are struggling with the subject.
If you're in school and really want to get an A/A* (7/8/9), I can make sure you achieve your goal. Whatever your current grade, an A/ A*/7/8/9 is achievable. I have taught these exams for many years so I know how they work and how you can do well in them. We will work closely with the syllabus and go through some secrets of exam technique to make sure you get a top grade.
Alternatively, if you're wanting to learn languages for travel or business purposes (or just for fun!) we can tailor the lessons 100% to suit your needs. I also teach courses to adults from beginners to advanced and I always tailored to each student's need. I also teach English to foreigners to achieve the Cambridge Examinations ( A1 to C1).
I effectively deliver and plan online outstanding lessons and the feedback that I have received from parents, pupils, and adult learners have always been very stimulating. I strongly believe in the student centered-approach as always shown in my lesson plans. I believe that all students are individuals with very specific needs so differentiation has always been at the forefront of my teaching practice. I find it very important to address any students’ needs in order to get the best potential out of every single student. I am successful in establishing high expectations of behavior in the classroom whilst still developing positive relationships with my classes.
I love online teaching as well as face to face. I have been doing online experience for the last 5 years and I have helped most of my students to achieve an excellent language level. I use Google Meets, Google Classroom, or even Skype for online teaching. I generally send and post great, fun, and genuine resources so that the student can access them easily and successfully. There are so many fun online resources that I could provide you to enhance your language skills, especially in Speaking; what a great way to speak the language with a native speaker! You will also gain a broad cultural awareness and your fluency and pronunciation will speed up!
Contact me and ask what it is that you need and I will make sure you will get the best of your language skills!
On the other hand, I am a 200hr yoga certified instructor for the last 2 years and I can give you online 1-1 lessons from beginners to more advanced practitioners. I can also give the online yoga class via zoom to you and your whole family! If you have children, you will be glad to know that I have trained to teach kids yoga and I have been organizing yoga workshops in primary and secondary schools.

/ Abby W.
Hello, My name is Abby, I am currently 23 years old and I currently work as a 1:1 LSA (DBS checked) in a mainstream primary school setting where I specialise with children with additional needs ranging from autism, ADHD, dyslexia and other needs. For the past year I have also been working as an English tutor and have predominantly worked with GCSE students and one primary school child. Again ranging in ability, from teenagers with strong abilites who just need a bit of a helping hand, to students with autism who are struggling at grasping thier subject. I am not a qualified teacher as I am traigning to be an acreditied counsellor. I strongly feel that this occupational ambition has really helped me in the field of education as all of the students that work with require more that just 'teaching' they require confidence and encouragement that they can ahieve their goals and they can excel in anything that put their mind to. Being the age I am aslo has its benefits as it's not that long since I was sitting all of my exams and remembering how stressful it all was! During this strange time that we are all experiencing due to the Virus I have decided to try and do this online! As either a tutor or just a helping hand to any parents that need a little break! I'm freindly, fun and can work with children of all ages (primary I can help with more subjects than just English!) Please don't hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions!!
Fully qualified English Teacher, I have worked in secondary schools since 2005 including Pupil Referral Units. I am also a qualified SENDCo.

Have many years experience in primary school teaching. Can support with all subjects or primarily Reading, Writing and Maths. Will work to suit individual needs of students.
Experienced final-year law student offering comprehensive English language and literature tutoring for Secondary, GCSE, and A-level students. Achieved a stellar 7 at GCSE and an A at A-level. Eager to share my passion for language and literature to enhance your understanding and excel in your academic journey.
I've had a strong enthusiasm for English for as long as I can remember. I remember writing stories when I was younger and would read them out in class. For this reason, it's no surprise that it was my best-achieved grade. After volunteering for a year with children, I developed a passion for helping and aiding people with their personal and academic development. I'd love to assist in helping you or your child to excel in your studies at school, and I'm ready to adapt to whatever learning style is best suited. I can offer a broad spectrum of assistance, first helping with the understanding of specific areas where improvement is required, and then later evolving into more challenging areas that will contribute to academic success in English. My lessons can range from revision to analysing poetry, novels and plays. For this reason, I believe that I am a candidate perfect for consideration!
I'm excited to offer tutoring and life coaching services that are not just educational but also inspirational and supportive. Having recently completed my exams with an impressive 43/45 in the IB program, my experiences uniquely position me to relate to and advise students on both their studies and the broader aspects of university life. My teaching approach is friendly and helpful, drawing from my personal journey where I overcame numerous obstacles, including having to teach myself. I believe these experiences and the values I've cultivated are crucial in guiding students through their own academic paths. I offer personalized content tailored to each student's needs, whether it's in English, Business, History, French (for beginners), or Math. Additionally, I have access to a wealth of resources from my educational journey, which will be invaluable to my students. As a tutor and a life coach rolled into one, I aim not just to improve your academic skills but also to instill a mindset of resilience and self-growth. I understand the unique pressures and challenges faced by students today. My goal is to not only help you excel academically but to also foster a positive and proactive approach to learning and personal development. I am committed to creating an environment where students feel supported, motivated, and ready to tackle their goals. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals and more. Let's embark on this journey together towards success and self-improvement. Look forward to working with you!
I am excited to help you achieve your best potential and make learning enjoyable!
I am currently taking part in a support club for younger children that have trouble reading. I believe it is extremely important to help others in need and transfer knowledge to those younger than me. Seeing the difference and improvement I can make in someone’s life is the most rewarding feeling I can think of. The program takes place every week, and the progress which my students make is something I am very proud of.
I have taken it upon myself to talk to them about what they found so off putting about reading, pick an engaging book, find out about their interests etc., to make sure that it doesn't feel like a burden but rather a fun and valuable experience. This helped me create a friendly environment and I was able to see a big improvement in both their reading skill and their attitude towards it. I believe that knowing when or how to approach an issue, as well as talking about things that might present an obstacle is of essence to success of any kind. Communication, however, matters not just for approaching any existing issues, but also letting a student know that you are a friendly face that they can speak to and feel comfortable around.
I have been helping neurodivergent students younger than myself with their maths studies, for one hour every week, for over a year. As a mentor I have learned the necessity of being able to put yourself into someone else's position and consider things from their point of view. Understanding how someone else is feeling and being patient with them, helping them overcome an issue is the most important and sometimes challenging part of mentoring.
In the past year I have also individually done tutoring sessions for GCSE higher maths online, and as I have achieved a 9 in my maths GCSE, I was happy to pass on the knowledge.
I have been in the teaching profession since www.*** have taught in many schools in Karachi,Pakistan and also ran a tuition academy BrainX. After moving to www.*** I am also working as an www.*** hence very familiar with the teaching methods and curriculum.
I have been teaching English for more than 16 years, and tutoring privately for about 14 years. I have developed excellent relationships with my tutees and their parents, and really take a personal interest in how I can help them specifically. I enjoy the process of tutoring: getting to understand exactly what my tutees need and helping them to grow in confidence to stretch themselves to their full potential.
I have over a year experience in tutoring for different companies, including Explore Learning Ltd and Code Camps. Very familiar with both Primary and Secondary curriculum and have experience working around neurodivergent students and can adapt lesson plans
Over the past four years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to teach English in China (Jiaxing), both online and in the classroom. Starting in a traditional classroom, I built strong connections with my students and refined my teaching techniques. Moving to online teaching expanded my reach and allowed me to embrace new educational technologies, making learning more accessible and engaging.
In China, I taught a diverse group of students, from young children to adults, each with their own unique needs and goals. This experience taught me to be adaptable and creative in my teaching methods, ensuring that every lesson was interactive and enjoyable. Watching my students grow and develop their English skills has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.
Now that I’m in the UK, I’m excited to continue this journey and meet new students. I’m eager to bring my international experience and passion for teaching to learners here, helping them achieve their language goals and fostering a love for English.
