I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a PGDE in Secondary English from The University of Edinburgh. I have extensive experience working with young people in a variety of educational settings, including as a teaching assistant in mainstream secondary schools, SEN schools, and primary schools. I’ve also taught English as a foreign language in Germany.
In addition to my classroom experience, I have two years of online tutoring experience, supporting students from primary to secondary levels. I tutor primary level, GCSE, A-Level, and the Scottish curriculum (BGE, National 5, Highers, and Advanced Highers). I also offer 11+ preparation.
I provide tutoring both online and in person for those within my local area. I hold a full PVG Disclosure Scotland certificate.
/ Jason C.
Head of English and Extended Essay Co-ordinator at St Edward's School in Oxford. I have extensive experience tutoring IB pupils as well as GCSE and A-level.
I have been a private tutor for nearly six years for multiple companies - both in person and online. I have hosted exchange programmes to help students with English as a foreign language. I have helped to run summer schools. I have been educated at two Russell Group universities: my undergraduate degree in English Literature and History was acquired from the University of Exeter, while my postgraduate degree in English PGCE with QTS was acquired from the University of Oxford. I have been teaching English in a state comprehensive school for nearly four years, in which I have taught/still am teaching KS3 English, GCSE English (both Language and Literature), and A Level English Language and Literature (all with AQA). I specialise in teaching English to any secondary aged students; however, I have experience in teaching the eleven plus and am also able to help KS2 students with preparation for English at secondary school. I could tutor locally in Witney; however, due to my long working hours, online tutoring is preferable.
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
My teaching generally focuses on argument and essay writing. This develops students critical reasoning and argumentative skills, both improving exam performance and the elements of the subjects which are most transferrable.
I have strong experience both as a tutor, and more generally, having been a professional sports coach, and having taught English in Germany. I am therefore well placed to tailor my teaching to the specific academic aims of my students.
About Me: Experience & Interests
Having qualified as a teacher in 2004, I have been teaching at Secondary level (including A Level) for 16 years. My first two years in the profession were spent teaching in Bassaleg School in Newport before moving to Oxfordshire 14 years ago, to teach in a comprehensive school in Abingdon. In 2008, I became Head of English, a role I held for 6 years prior to having children. I have been tutoring privately for the past 6 years, with tutees ranging from Year 5 to Year 11. My area of interest and expertise for tutoring has mainly focused on KS4, but I also have experience in tutoring younger students for their Year 6 SATS Exam and for the 13+ Grammar School examination. In my role as Head of English, I oversaw Literacy across the Curriculum Interventions and Developments as well as mentoring trainee interns and delivering professional development sessions to newly qualified teachers. As a mentor for the PGCE teacher-training course at The University of Oxford, I have also regularly assisted the university in interviewing applicants for their course. As an examiner for AQA Literature, I have had training in understanding the requirements of the new 2015 specification, as well as three years’ experience of grading exam scripts. I am also an assessor for the National Foundation for Educational Research, an independent provider of research in education. I have experience in teaching various exam boards including AQA, WJEC, Edexcel and IGCSE. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin and piano, going to the gym, swimming and skiing.

Approaches to Tutoring
Different students require different approaches to learning and so I work hard to tailor my sessions according to the needs of the student. In addition to one-to-one online tutoring, I also offer paired tuition (with someone of a similar age and ability) and small group tuition (Maximum of 6 per class). I offer term-time and holiday lessons: one-off sessions, short term or long term according to the needs of the student. Please send me a message if you would like further information and prices. Some areas that I normally focus on include:
· GCSE specimen and past paper questions
· Focus on a specific text/question
· Controlled Assessments / Coursework / Essays – planning, writing, proof-reading
· Achieving a Grade 4/5
· Achieving a Grade 8/9
· Analysis of set texts
· Addressing individual Assessment Objectives
· Any aspect of KS2 and KS3 Literacy including Year 6 SATS preparation
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.
Personal Profile
I am a dedicated teacher who has grown in all aspects of teaching since embarking on my career. I have risen to the challenges of teaching and believe that all children can reach their learning potential.
As a tutor, I believe in working on a personalised course of study working through use of past exam papers and interview questions, teaching students to answer the questions well and grow in confidence.
I have successfully coached children through 7+ 11+ and 13+ exams including exams to scholarship level. My past students have gained entry to the Royal Grammar School Guildford, Eton College, St James School Ashford, Halliford School, Shepperton, St Catherine’s School, Bramley and St George’s College, Weybridge, Cokethorpe School, Witney, Headington School, Oxford, St Benedict’s Ealing, Kings College Wimbledon, Dulwich School. London, The Gloucestershire 11 + Consortium, The Birmingham 11+ Consortium. The London 11 + Consortium, The Slough 11 + Consortium and Tiffin School. .
I also enjoy teaching students who are learning English as Second Language following the Cambridge English scheme of work. I am a qualified TEFL teacher with experience of teaching both adults and children.
Tutor Experience
I am a 1 to 1 and online tutor working with students in preparation for Independent School Entrance examinations at 7+, !1+,13+ along with the 11+ Examinations for Grammar Schools. I support children across the Primary Curriculum supporting their understanding to boost confidence and prepare them for both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 SATS.
I also tutor Students learning English as a Second Language preparing them for English Proficiency Examinations including English conversation, Reading and writing.
Hi, my name is Nicole and I am currently studying at Cirencester Specialist Sixth Form College. I am taking English Lang/Lit for A-Levels and I also received a 7 for English Lang and a 6 in English Literature at Secondary. I have a younger sister who struggles with dyslexia and I have been tutoring her ever since she was young and she has since then achieved a 6 at a primary school level despite her learning difficulties.
I am an experienced writer and journalist who re-trained as a primary teacher. I have particular experience teaching KS2, preparing youngsters for KS2 SATs and the transition to secondary education.
I enjoy teaching English in a creative way, which children enjoy and engage with, and have had really positive results with my maths classes.
My style is to integrate philosophical discussion into my lessons, which are child-led - taking children on a learning journey which they themselves direct.
I have a particular interest in advising and helping in home-school environments - this can be in core subjects or cross-curricula, where I plan lessons for one child or a group of learners.

As an English tutor with extensive work experience with children, I bring a deep passion for language arts and a commitment to fostering academic growth. My journey began with a profound appreciation for the English language, which I have since transformed into a career dedicated to helping young learners excel. Through my work experience, I have had the privilege of guiding children through their educational journeys, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of effective tutoring.
My approach to tutoring is holistic and student-centered. I believe that every child has a unique learning style and potential waiting to be unlocked.

This personalized approach ensures that lessons are not only educational but also enjoyable, fostering a genuine love for learning.
In my role as an English tutor, I focus on enhancing literacy and comprehension skills. I employ a variety of techniques, including interactive reading sessions, creative writing exercises, and vocabulary-building activities. These methods are designed to make learning dynamic and relevant, encouraging students to think critically and express themselves confidently. I also incorporate diverse literature to expose students to different perspectives and cultures, broadening their understanding and appreciation of the world around them.
My work experience with children has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and encouragement. I strive to build a strong rapport with my students, creating a safe space where they feel comfortable to ask questions and take intellectual risks. This supportive atmosphere is crucial for their academic and personal development, helping them to overcome challenges and celebrate their successes.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the progress my students make. Whether it's seeing a child develop a newfound interest in reading, improve their writing skills, or gain confidence in their abilities, these moments are a testament to the impact of dedicated tutoring. I am committed to not only improving their academic performance but also instilling a lifelong passion for English.
In summary, my role as an English tutor is driven by a deep love for the subject and a genuine desire to make a difference in children's lives. My work experience has equipped me with the skills and insights needed to effectively support and inspire young learners. Through personalized, engaging, and empathetic tutoring, I aim to help each student reach their full potential and develop a lasting appreciation for the English literacy.
