I am an experienced tutor who has been teaching English to students for over ten years. I specialise in KS3 and GCSE however also have many KS2 and A-Level students, too. I am very familiar with the different exam boards, specifically Edexcel, AQA and OCR. I an NTP qualified tutor with a fully enhanced DBS. I work closely with various agencies and councils, and local high schools in Nottingham, tutoring students individually and in groups. I also work with students with additional needs, from learning diabilities to behavioural challenges.
I am passionate about reading and writing. I aim to encourage students to strive for their best, to gain a deeper understanding of texts and to improve their writing skills so that their confidence flourishes.
I run various creative writing groups for different ages, and also offer intensive week long tuition for students who need to catch up in specific areas.

Brief:
Expert online tuition from an examiner in English, Psychology and History for all levels and abilities including: KS2, KS3, KS3, KS4, KS5. IELTS, IGCSE/GCSE, A Levels, University students, Academic and Business English
Specialist in Home-educated students and students struggling with understanding knowledge and acquiring skills.
I have PGCE, MA in Literature, MSc in Psychology and TESOL
I am an examiner for many Boards over many decades so have an unique insight into exams.
Detailed:
If you are aiming to achieve a top grade in exams, want to gain a greater understanding of sentences or learn quick strategies for memorising your literature texts, then I can help.
I use lots of films clips and audio to reinforce understanding which students enjoy. I am not a Powerpoint tutor as I feel this isn't teaching but lecturing and that's not my style. I may dip into the odd Powerpoint slide but this will be to support your learning in a purposeful way but I rarely do this. Another difference is I offer weekly homework which is marked with understandable comments. Many parents choose to have this service too as their children often don't have regular or systematically marked homework so it is a way of regularly assessing so I can pick up any issues early.
I also have a TESOL qualification which means I have expert knowledge of English language so can competently teach foreign language students or I can draw on this knowledge to clarify rules of grammar etc. With respect to older students, I frequently teach Academic English ,whether it is helping with dissertations or preparing for IELTS.
My second specialism is Psychology and I teach this from GCSE through to and including Postgraduates as I have a MSc in Psychology. This also supports any other subject I teach as I have a detailed understanding of how memory and learning interact. It also informs me when building strategies for those who suffer from exam nerves, anxiety or barriers generally with their learning.
I have a gsoh and parents often comment on laughter coming from the room when I'm tutoring so very quiet or introverted students can be assured I'm very human and whilst I have the highest skills and knowledge, I struggled when at school so I'm always supportive and caring in my approach.
Finally, I teach many home-educated youngsters so know how to support the whole family in any challenges they may face.
I do hope to hear from you soon. Sally

A british citizen by descent, I was raised in Swaziland (Eswatini), a small country in Southern Africa and have had the privilege of being educated in multiple countres. I am grateful for this opportunity to have experienced different cultures, share my life with many different types of people and I feel that this has given me both an appreciation and greater understanding of other people in their lives, as well as a wisdom that comes from the privilege of varied life experiences. People are important to me. I moved to the UK at the beginning of 2020 and have enjoyed it as much as I can with the current circumstances.
I am a 19 year old law and criminology student. Due to the lockdown I unfortunately lost my job as a barmaid, so I am currently a student unable to support myself. I have childcare experience and thought since I love children and have always been academically organized, I decided to put two and two together and venture into tutoring. I really hope you will be able to place your trust in me because I have a huge heart and only want the best for everyone, including your children!

In my tutoring practice, I firmly believe in the power of personalisation. I understand that each of my students is a unique individual with their distinct personalities, motivations, and learning styles. Given my relatively young age, I find it effortless to connect with my students, and my contagious enthusiasm for mathematics and teaching often inspires them. I take the time to get to know my students during our lessons, which not only helps build a strong rapport but also clarifies my role as a tutor. They understand that I'm there to guide, support, and assist them in their learning journey. My teaching methodology avoids spoon-feeding students. Instead, I first provide them with a solid understanding of the theory behind a new method or concept. Then, I challenge them to teach the topic back to me as we work through a related problem together. This approach ensures that the student comprehends the topic thoroughly and can confidently navigate the associated steps. Praise and encouragement are essential elements of my teaching style. I firmly believe in acknowledging and motivating students throughout the lesson, fostering a positive and empowering learning environment. Furthermore, I maintain regular communication with the students' parents to provide them with updates on their child's progress. This collaborative approach helps me better understand and support the student's needs. In summary, my tutoring philosophy revolves around personalised instruction, building rapport, fostering understanding through active teaching, and creating a positive learning atmosphere through praise and encouragement. My commitment extends to involving parents in the learning journey to ensure the best possible support for the students I work with.

I would love to help other children going through GCSE's and SAT's and to boost their confidence. I hope to make children realise that with the right mindset, one that they realise if they work hard, they can do it and achieve good results. As someone who has just finished their GCSE's, the subjects are very much fresh in my mind. I would love to use any tips and tricks in which I have been taught that may differ to any others they have been given and to help them understand more.

Hi there, I am an experienced tutor offering Maths and Science lessons. I am a graduate from the University of Nottingham, where I studied Cancer Sciences.
I am passionate about science and mathematics, which is shown in my attainment "within the highest few hundred" at GCSE and A level. Therefore, I thoroughly enjoy helping students to achieve their aspirations and often exceed their academic expectations, and I have many happy clients who would testify to this.
I believe it is important for students to feel comfortable with their learning environment, so all sessions are specifically tailored for each student, ensuring that each session is effective.

My name is Maddy and I have been a teacher since 2014. I am a happy, fun and lively individual who loves to spend time with my family but mainly, my adorable golden retriever Lola. (Photo on my profile)
I have tutored both Maths and English from reception age all the way up to GCSE in maths and Year 6 SATS in English. I tailor my lesson to suit the child and always strive to bring fun to the lessons, as I believe this encourages the children to learn. I have a wealth of experience teaching 1:1 and in groups. I am confident differentiating work for different children even in small groups.
I am a people person and love forming relationships with people and trying to bring out their best qualities.
i currently work at a school in Nottingham and teach Year 4.
