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")
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.

✩✩✩✩✩ - "Sophia will be attending Channing from the Autumn Term 2024! You have my heartfelt gratitude for all the efforts you’ve put for Sophia. I really appreciate it." - Manning A ✩✩✩✩✩ - "I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for me and all of the hard work you put in. I am so happy with my results. I got an 8 in English Language and 7 in English Literature with distinction. I honestly did not believe I could achieve such results but you always believe in me and showed me what my true potential was and now I am unbelievably happy with me results. Thank you so much for everything. I truly would not be this happy and in this position if I didn’t have you as my tutor." - Zunaira
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hello Hayley just to let you know that Iona got a 9 in her English Language today and an 8 in her English Literature. The language is particularly impressive as she was regularly getting 5’s and 6’s. Thank you for teaching her how to answer and structure her exam. She always had the ability but not the appropriate teaching and encouragement for her. We are very grateful for your expertise and help. I have another daughter and might be in touch!" - Karin H ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Thank you very much for your help Hayley. Ria did outstandingly well with 94/100. An excellent effort from both of you to pull that off in 7 weeks." - Pika
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley, I just wanted you to know that Alice got an 8 in English Language and a 9 in English Literature in her GCSEs. We are all completely delighted! Just wanted to let you know and to thank you for your efforts and fantastic teaching. It's so appreciated." - Hannah W ✩✩✩✩✩ - "My daughter failed her mocks before Easter. I contacted Hayley to try and turn around a miracle for us. I cannot believe my daughter is sitting here with an ‘A’ and accepted to Durham. Hayley is honestly a miracle worker and I would recommend her any day. Fantastic and professional. Don’t hesitate to contact her." - Faiza
✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley taught me for A Level English. I have progressed so much in the last 3 months and today found out I achieved an A*. Thank you so much for your help and I couldn’t have done it without you." Priya ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Over the past year, Hayley has been an excellent tutor for my son. The 11+ tutoring has been of an extremely high standard, and we have been able to see the progress each week. Hayley was great at building a solid relationship with my Son, and her communication skills were outstanding. She was always on hand to answer any questions. I would highly recommend her." - Trudi D ✩✩✩✩✩ - "We contacted Hayley very last minute for a little extra support for A level History. She has been really helpful, supportive and reliable. Offering some much appreciated sessions in the lead up to the exams. Thank you Hayley!" - Diana S ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley is such an attentive tutor, whose guidance has greatly aided me in reviving my love for English Literature. Her wide-ranging knowledge and enthusiasm truly helped me to gain a better understanding of what was required moving closer to A-level exams: even motivating me to take up more accurate, concise and precise methods of exam revision. Not only is Hayley's knowledge of the specification and the texts incredibly accurate and easy to translate into essay writing, but overall she is a kind and funny tutor, who made our weekly English sessions really engaging and enjoyable. I greatly appreciate having had the opportunity to work with someone so dedicated to their craft and, evidently, passionate about their subject. Thank you for all your hard work and commitment, your support has reminded me why I picked English Literature in the first place and taught me that there is so much more to love about it too. Moving forward, I have no doubt in my mind that all our collective efforts will pay off in the final exams. Thank you, Hayley" Bindu ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley has tutored my science-loving English-tolerating DS for the last two years, for English Language and Lit at the IGCSE level. DS is home-educated, so Hayley has done the bulk of the work in guiding DS through the work, setting him essays and going over these with him. DS has gone from merely tolerating English to enjoying the subject (and getting top marks as well). He has developed real insight into literature and is now capable of holding an intelligent conversation about poetry, novels, and plays, with solid insight and analysis. This is in no small part due to Hayley's enthusiasm for the subject and her outstanding teaching skills. DS and I will be forever grateful to her for sparking his interest in this subject and look forward to working with her as DS embarks on IB English." - Frances H ✩✩✩✩✩ - "I've worked with Hayley for a few months on English Language and Literature. I had become home-schooled and wasn't at all confident in topics regarding English in any way. In the first session we planned out how we would split the lessons between the two subjects, and also got to know each other very well. Although Hayley is an excellent tutor, she has supported me in every way. She is extremely reassuring and so kind, and anyone would be lucky to have a single lesson with her! I'm devastated that our lessons have come to an end, however I am confident I have done extremely well in my exams, and it's all thanks to her. I have been so fortunate to have learnt from her, and would absolutely recommend it to anybody struggling with English in general, or even just needing support with revision. I honestly owe it all to her!!" - Adelle ✩✩✩✩✩ - "Hayley is absolutely 5*. She is so well prepared for each session and is patient and pitches the work perfectly for my son managing to keep him engaged and interested. She has absolutely surpassed my expectations, I would highly recommend her." - Ilker

I have taught a wide range of ages and am very happy to accommodate any kind of additional learning need, having also worked as SEN lead at a local secondary school. I have recently completed a Master's degree in English Literature, and am passionate about developing skills across subjects, in an approachable and clear manner. Having worked in the educational sector, I have access to a number of resources key to providing a solid foundation for learning. If you have any queries relating to the kind of educational support you would be looking for, please feel free to get in touch with further details-I look forward to hearing from you!
/ Ruth T.
I always wanted to be a primary school teacher and after 20 years of being in the classroom I still do. I like to create a nurturing and warm environment for my pupils to reach their potential by feeling confident and calm. Taking a risk is a huge part of learning so I tailor my teaching to encourage all the children to do so. I enjoy observing their progress through gentle encouragement and lots of praise. I am happy to teach children in KS1 as well as KS2 in Maths and English alike.
Hello, I am Olivia D. and I am enthusiastic and passionate about my subject: English.
However, it was not always easy for me, in fact at high school I was not doing very well at English, I didn't seem to understand the way English was taught in schools and I required the head start of my teacher sitting down with me one-on-one and helping me to improve. My success in English is partly due to the support of exceptional teachers, who used creative new methods and suport to guide my learning which led to me achieving at A* English Literature A-Level, and a degree from one of the country's top universities.
Since developing a skill and love for English I have been lucky to work as a tutor, with highlights including leading English workshops at Explore Learning and taking creative writing workshops into schools. I am excited about English as a subject especially for harvesting young imaginations and I am determind that everyone can be an excellent English scholar, if given the correct support and that English can enrich any life whatever your natural abilities may be.
My love for English is part of everything I do, my ambition is to write plays, novels and anything else I can whilst my hobbies include writing, performing and reading. In my private life I have also helped many of my friends as well as my younger brother (now an Aerospace Engineering student) pass exams all the way up to A-Level.
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 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.
English Literature and Maths lessons in Wokingham, UK.
I am friendly, positive and always encourage people to work harder in order to get the best results possible! I'll explain things in simpler terms, and will use videos and drawings to help explain. I'll organise topics into smaller chunks and help you plan practice essays in order to make a heavy workload seem manageable. I am hardworking and will adapt to any exam board and specification and teach any books that you need me to. I will always go the extra mile to make sure a student feels confident and satisfied with their learning by giving you many resources to use outside of lessons. I hope to teach some of you soon!

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!
English lessons in Guildford, UK.
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 sympathetic, fun, understanding individual with a vast amount of experience working with children of all primary ages from Reception to year 6 of all abilities.
I believe making learning fun is the key, whilst chunking it into small pieces to make it less overwhelming giving a child the confidence they need to believe in themselves and their abilities. I teach daily Read Write Inc phonics lessons and regular maths lessons.
I have worked as a TA and HLTA for the past 3 years and as of September will be completing my teaching qualification. I am fully Enhanced DBS checked.
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 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!!
As a University student, I have been through all the exam stages and I have picked up lots of new skills along the way to make learning more fun. I understand that school can feel like a chore for many young students and the stresses of exams can take a toll on children, but with my help and passion for teaching, I hope that I can allow students to gain confidence in their studies and enjoy them more!
I achieved high grades in GCSEs, and I am good with children. I am patient and I know that some topics in english and maths can get a bit confusing, so when it comes to tutoring, I know how to make lessons easier to understand and I will always work at the pace that the pupil feels comfortable at.
I have completed my law degree from the University of Birmingham with a 2:1 (65%) and achieved a distinction on the LPC MSc in Law and Business Management. My degree was extremely challenging but it is also intellectually stimulating and broadened my outlook. With three years of experience tutoring English to students from years 5-11 and Maths to years 5-7, I have built a great rapport with my students. They are my mentees and I love being able to give them tips and hints regarding their future education and sharing my learning experience with them. My lessons consist of going over content, watching a video together regarding the lesson content and then completing questions together. I find that my students enjoy watching a video as it breaks up the lesson and makes it a more interactive experience. My lessons are very conversational, as I allow my students to articulate their thoughts, have fun whilst still being productive. My interests and hobbies consist of reading, photography, meditation and exercise.
As an A-level student, balancing continuous volunteering work, in various sectors such as tutoring and mentoring, with education has ensured that I have developed the skills of time management and organisation. Through undertaking a variety of volunteering opportunities; ambition, drive, passion, and perseverance have been amongst a variety of abilities that I have had to develop to ensure success. I hope to use my interpersonal skills to work alongside a team that prioritises the student’s satisfaction and their experience.
As a part of my Silver Duke of Edinburgh volunteering, I tutored students in the lower year of my school with the aim of improving their grades before they began the GCSE process. Many of these students were often easily distracted and prone to misbehaving during tutoring sessions, necessitating a great deal of persistence, perseverance, and patience to get round to the students and ensure that they were focused on their tasks. As I tutored while mentoring these students, I needed to be able to present the role of both an authoritative figure and a peer. The key to success was to maintain a fun and motivating learning environment.
My name is Joel D., and I have been tutoring for 2 years now. I am very charismatic and able to teach your child incredibly well. Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions!
