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.
I have been a tutor for 3+ years.
I specialise in entrance exams, GCSE and A level prep and have helped children prepare for and successfully get accepted into top private schools across the country both nationally and internationally.

I’ve had experience with tutoring without the agency. I’ve had a few students who I have taught English literature and History competently. The students found my approach easy to digest and maximised learning through my lessons.
I offer £30 for 60 minutes. I have flexible availability, and offer online lessons for easier lessons. If you require more sessions that can be arranged. I finished education 2 years ago and have been dealing with students outside of the online agencies, who have taken their exams and found my tuition incredibly helpful for getting a higher grade than predicted.
If you are finding it hard to secure a tutor currently. I can take you on immediately without the hassle of experimenting with other tutors.
I have taught as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Bedfordshire in English literature, recently completing a PhD. I am able to tutor in A-Level and degree level English literature with confidence and flexibility.
I am currently studying Music at Oxford University. My A-Level grades were A* A A in Music, Maths and Physics. I conduct the Hertford College Orchestra and am an actor and songwriter. I have been part of a competition by the European Space Agency in yr 12.

I have now been a full time tutor for four years with Tutor Hunt- please look at my profile there as this is where you can find my reviews and ratings. I have just recently switched to TutorExtra.
I really enjoy getting to know students and working with them to support them in achieving their goals, which is very rewarding. I am reliable and friendly, as well as having a lot of experience working with many different students. I have really good subject knowledge, both in E. Language and E. Literature, but I also enjoy learning from my students, who can be very inspiring, especially when learning about literature and poetry.
In my work as an examiner, I have marked thousands of papers and this gives me a real insight into the best approaches to take to achieve the highest grade possible.
Fully qualified English Teacher, I have worked in secondary schools since 2005 including Pupil Referral Units. I am also a qualified SENDCo. I still teach in a school part-time and tutor alongside this. I run evening GCSE workshops for a maximum of five students at a cheaper rate of £15 per hour (£30 in total for the two hour session). I also tutor 1:1 and have vacancies during the day.
Formerly an Advanced Skills Teacher for Drama and Performing Arts, I was appointed as a Senior Lead Practitioner for Creativity in 2019. My first degree was in English Literature at Southampton. This was followed by a PGCE in Drama and English from the Institute of Education, and another PGCE in Directing Text with Young People, before moving on to my Masters in Education (Drama) working with the University of Middlesex and Trestle Theatre.
My teaching, leadership and whole school responsibilities have included: English Language and Literature; Drama and Theatre Studies; Media and Film Studies; Cross-Curricular Literacy; Raising Boys’ Achievement; Creative and Cultural entitlement. I have worked in a variety of contexts throughout London and Hertfordshire. Most recently, I led a 2-year journey of Creative Teaching and Learning across a two-site secondary school, working towards Artsmark accreditation in April 2021.
During lockdown, I embraced the challenges of remote learning and enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with different modes of delivery and interaction. TutorExtra has given me the perfect opportunity to extend the influence of over 30 years of teaching and learning expertise. I look forward to working with another new cohort of students as we all forge ahead into the ‘new normal’ of education. If you are looking for a highly experienced and effective teacher of English Literature, particularly when it comes to Shakespeare, then here I am.

I am passionate about teaching and education, and have recently achieved a Masters with Distinction in Teaching and Learning from University of Herts, as well as completing a Primary Education degree in 2013. I lead Primary English and am in my eighth year of teaching, currently with Year 5/6.
I have been teaching for 8 years and am currently teaching full-time in a mixed Year 5/6 class for a fourth year, I have also taught in Year 3 and 4. I have a 2:1 in Primary Education from Winchester University as well as an MA Distinction in Teaching and Learning from the University of Hertfordshire.
I have a very good knowledge of the primary curriculum and expectations for each Key Stage. Being the English lead at school means I also have a good knowledge of teaching phonics and reading/writing across the age groups, however I am also extremely confident in teaching Maths. I can be flexible in teaching either primary aged children or those in their beginning years of secondary school.
Due to my experience, I am confident in teaching and supporting children with a range of abilities and needs, as well as across a range of topics. Building a positive relationship with your child is key to me helping them develop a mindset and attitude to their learning which helps them make progress and feel confident.
Outside of teaching I love long walks (especially with my cheeky cockapoo puppy!), cooking, reading, yoga, macrame and socialising. I live in Hitchin and teach in Welwyn Garden City - I would be willing to travel around these two areas.
As I am actively teaching in a school, I am fully DBS checked and up-to-date on recent training and educational initiatives. If a convenient time is unavailable on the schedule listed here, please contact me to arrange an alternative time.
I am a dedicated and high achieving student, currently on a Gap Year - who will be studying History at university next year. I scored all 9s in my 10 GCSEs including Latin, German and Geography and achieved all As in my A Levels. I have, previously, received an offer to study History at Cambridge and have interviewed to study History at Oxford. I won both my school's Year 12 and Year 13 History prizes.
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!
