For nearly 10 years, I have been working both as a private tutor and a schoolteacher, teaching predominantly Spanish and English to students of all ages and abilities in person and online. Following a lifelong love of languages, I studied Spanish and English Literature at GCSE, achieving A* and A respectively, and at A-level, achieving B and A* respectively. In 2015, I advanced my studies at the University of Reading, where, in 2019, I obtained my BA in Spanish and English Literature. In my year abroad, I studied in Mexico (University of the Americas Puebla) and Cuba (University of Havana). Since graduating, I’ve taught thousands of hours of Spanish and English online to hundreds of students, reaching the top of the Spanish tutor ranks on another platform and receiving dozens of positive, predominantly five-star reviews from satisfied clients across the continent. Knowing from personal experience how challenging learning a foreign language or mastering the art of essay writing can be, I aim to facilitate the process for my students by personalising my lessons to their individual needs. Personable, passionate and productive, my mission is to help my students not only achieve but exceed their goals.
I have recently graduated from the University of Birmingham with first-class honours, as well as the Richard Shackleton prize for best dissertation in the year. As a consequence, I have developed my essay writing techniques and structures to a level that is a very high standard. Within my tutoring sessions, I will be able to help to pass on the skills and techniques to my clients and make them feel comfortable and assured when facing a tricky question or concept.
Most importantly, however, history and English are subjects that need to be approached with curiosity and fascination. My sessions will approach various history and literature in a way that removes the perceived dustiness from History and English and will help the client to approach difficult concepts in an interpretive manner, which will help them to write clearer and more confident answers.
I am a current masters student and very flexible, I will be able to be accomodating for the student when they would like a tutoring session. Moreover, I will offer the first session free in order to see if the client enjoys and responds to the teaching. Flexibility and comfort are crucial.
I will be able to offer valuable essay and exam technique for clients in their GCSE or A-Level cycle- or just for students wishing to feel more confident. Fundamentally I will instruct how to break down a question, choose an appropriate structure, pick critical evidence and lay down quality and evaluative analysis. For clients looking to develop a wider interest in historical events, ideas and theories, I can use the experience and reading from my university years to teach these in a unique and exciting way. I firmly believe History to be dependent on curiosity and I would relish teaching it in this way.
For those looking for English lessons: I attained an A* in my GCSE, an A* overall in my A-Level (including full marks on my English coursework in year 13), as well as a first in a module on George Orwell in my final year that was very literature-based. I am more than capable of teaching a fascinating programme in both English and History and I look forward to doing so.

Hello there,
I am qualified English teacher with extensive successful experience teaching in both state and independent schools. In addion to my degree, I have 3 post graduate qualifications, including a Masters in Educational Management and Leadership (Distinction) - the dissertation of which was on raising the attainment of pupils on Pupil Premium. 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. I have have
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 and therefore have up-to-date knowledge in English Language and Literature. 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 in an engaging way
Warm Wishes,
Yasmin

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.
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:

"Great expertise and really helpful couldn't have got through without it" (Tami, student, A-Level English Language)
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.
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.
Hi everyone! I'm Carys, a passionate student about to start University. I'd love to be able to share my love of learning with you all, from teaching English literature/language, German, Psychology and History for GCSEs, or Psychology A Level!
I am a final year History student at Bristol. I have lots of experience working in primary school as well as someone to one tuition. I am confident, enthusiastic and really enjoy teaching looking to become a teacher after I graduate.
I usually teach for around an hour typically to primary school age but I am looking to teach some older years as well. I like to keep the lesson interactive not focusing on the same exercise for too long. I find primary school-age children struggle to focus on the same thing for a long time. However, what I like about tutoring one-to-one or in small groups is that it gives you a lot of space to be flexible depending on who I am teaching.
Hiya, if you need some tutoring in GCSe English lit (AQA) , History AQA or Psychology AQA alevel I’m happy to help.
Hi all, I am a fully qualified English teacher with 10 years experience and now have a few tutoring spaces available from next half term.
I have experience of teaching a wide range of different levels and an excellent track record of obtaining results that students (and their parents!) are proud of, that enables them to progress to the next stage of their educational journey - however that might look for the individual!
I have a wealth of experience and further training in supporting dyslexic students as well as students of a wide ability range up to GCSE level.
I tutor students from KS3 upwards and can tailor tutoring sessions to help support individuals with their specific needs. At GCSE level I have received further training with AQA and am extremely knowledgable regarding the expectations of the exam board for both the English Literature and English Language exams. I have taught many of the Literature set texts to a range of different ability levels and will tailor my teaching style to suit the individual.
If you’d like further information regarding tutoring sessions or have any questions please feel free to contact me.
I am a qualified Primary teacher, holding QTS certification. Considerable experience in the Private Sector, as well as TA work in a mainstream and SEN school environment. I am an experienced minis rugby coach (having coached from U6-U8's); an Assistant Beaver leader, and shortly to become a Scout leader.
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 have been a qualified teacher since 2009 and taught in a variety of state and private schools in Kent, London, and Surrey. I graduated from the University of Cambridge with a 2:1 in Theology and Religious Studies and was awarded my MA in 2010.
I have worked as a private music (violin and piano) teacher since I was in the sixth form, and, since qualifying as a teacher , have tutored Philosophy, English Literature, and Religious Studies to a variety of students internationally (online) and in person (locally).
I have a baby daughter so cannot curretly offer tuition at my house but have lots of availability online outside of school hours or in school holiday time.
I have an excellent record of helping students to improve their understanding (and grades) in Philosophy/RS and English, and of seeing students through to Grade 8 on Piano and Violin, with Distinction.
My A Levels (all A grades) are in: English Literature (I also received a commendation from the exam board for attaining one of the top five scores in the country); Music; RS; Media Studies; General Studies.
I am a life Fellow of the Westminster Abbey Institute.
I have Grade VIII Distinction (ABRSM) on Violin and Piano.
I passed the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leaders in 2018.
My tutoring style is responsive to the needs of my student(s) but expect to be stretched and challenged!
Whether teaching you English, Music, or Philosophy, we will (in the words of Plato from the "Meno", "share the inquiry together")
I understand the feeling of struggling with a subject and becoming stressed and overwhelmed with not knowing what to do and how to improve. I am flexible to do whatever you feel you will benefit most from whether that be assisting with homework, planning extra study lessons etc. Tutoring will be a different experience for everyone and I hope I can be of some assistance.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any queries!!
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

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!
