After teaching for a considerable number of years I did some private tutoring as I enjoyed teaching and seeing the results on a one to one basis.
I have taught at the following schools : Kingsdale school in Dulwich, Addington High and Harris Academy at Crystal Palace.
I enjoyed all the experiences and hope to be able to do som private teaching, This could also be in a group.
I am working with Tutor4All . We offer a range of tutoring services for GCSE's and A-level students. Our tutoring sessions are designed to be engaging, interactive and focused on student's specific areas of improvement. First Lesson is on Us!

I'm a tutor whose goal is to make your least favourite subject your strongest subject. Although you might still dislike it, rest assured, you will be good at it!
I specialise in maths, biology, chemistry, physics, and medical subjects, and I love breaking down tricky concepts into simple, understandable parts. Whether you're struggling with your coursework or want to boost your grades, I'm here to help.

Let's work together to make learning enjoyable and successful. I can't wait to help you achieve your best!
As a teacher with over 10 years of experience in the education sector, I have a wealth of knowledge and skills that make me well-equipped for an online tutoring job. My primary school teaching experience has allowed me to work with children of various ages, ranging from 4 to 16 years old. I have extensive experience in supporting students in both Maths and English, having served as a tutor for these subjects.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills that enable me to effectively engage and support students in their learning. I am able to adapt my teaching methods to suit the individual needs of each student, helping them to reach their full potential.
Being well-versed in the primary school curriculum, I am able to provide targeted and focused support to students in key subject areas. Additionally, my experience as a teacher and tutor has equipped me with the ability to manage and support classroom learning effectively, even in a virtual setting.
In an online tutoring job, my experience and skills will enable me to create engaging and interactive lessons that are tailored to the specific needs of each student. I am able to provide structured support and guidance to help students improve their academic performance and build their confidence in their learning. My familiarity with online tools and platforms also allows me to deliver effective virtual teaching sessions.
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with over 10 years of experience. I have a huge passion for teaching and find it most rewarding to see children progress and excel under my guidance.
I offer tuition in the following areas:
- English
- Maths
- Creative Writing
- Year 6 SATs
- 11+ Entry Exams (Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning)
- Interview Preparation
Every child deserves an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. In addition to focusing on a child`s academic progress, I always look for opportunities to boost their confidence and self-esteem - as these are crucial for a holistic development. Difficult concepts are broken down in smaller ones through scaffolding using different techniques differentiated according to each child`s individual need. It is important to push each child past their comfort zone, and I do exactly that with the students I tutor by challenging them in different ways. I tutor children across the primary phase, all the way from teaching how to read and write in English, to solving complex problems in Maths, to preparing them for their upcoming SATs or 11+ exams.
I tailor my lessons to cater for each child's individual needs. I have a gentle and friendly approach towards children and I always look for ways to help them make connections between the things they learn and for them to develop a love for learning. I believe that every child is truly special and unique. I have successfully tutored children with specific learning needs, as well as children that have English as an additional language. All my students have made excelled progress in their studies, therefore most of my students come from personal recommendations of happy parents :)

I have the experience to teach a range of different students from children struggling with KS1 up to high achieving KS5 students. In order to make things clear for my clients, I also offer an in-depth phone consultation before our first session so that I can provide a tailor-made tutoring experience. During the consultation, I will make sure and find out the goals we must achieve. In order to do that I will plan out everything to make sure that our sessions are productive and we can learn everything from the very basic. In order to help my students, I am more than happy to set homework and I can also provide feedback to help them and track their progress.
I am currently teaching A-level and GCSE students in a secondary school. I have been inspired to teach mathematics, not only by my past academic experiences (graduating in BEng Aerospace Engineering from Queen Mary University) but by my love for tutoring A-Level and GCSE students while I was at University.
I have always been inspired and excited by the degree to which mathematics influenced and penetrated so many applications, for example, in my own Engineering degree and in the studies that my former tutees used to pursue. I strongly believe that inquiry-based education is the key to the success of students in secondary school, whatever their abilities. I hope as a teacher to motivate my students to hone their inner abilities, curiosities, and strengths and discover what inspires them. My main objective is to offer a learning environment that is stimulating. I hope to encourage learners to become independent and apply their skills effectively and confidently. I am passionate about inspiring children to love mathematics and to understand its importance and intricacies in a modern world; showing my students how the subject can be used in their daily lives and activities.
I taught Years 7 and 8 and focused heavily on lower-ability and SEN students. By working with children who have special educational needs, I was quickly able to learn how to cater to the students varying educational needs. I made sure that inclusion and equality were given the top priority within the learning environment. This was important due to the fact that the students I worked with had differing and often multiple needs. My classroom often included deaf and mute students, students who have social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties (SEBD), and those who speak English as an additional language (EAL). While teaching these students I made sure to plan and manage my lessons carefully, according to the needs of my class. I liaised with relevant support staff (Deaf support and SEN specialists) and made sure all the students were catered to.
Furthermore, I also have experience teaching year 9, 10, 11, and A-Level students. This gave me the opportunity to use pedagogical techniques that challenged higher-ability students. For example, I have been encouraging students to create their own success criteria so that they are thinking about how to achieve their own goals in the lesson and also reflect on how they can improve. I have also utilized a variety of assessment techniques in the classroom to gauge student understanding and use both formative and summative assessments to further check and improve their learning. I believe that assessment for learning and keeping track of pupil progression is crucial. Therefore, I regularly mark students’ class books and look at their assessments to ensure that I can plan feedback lessons to help my students improve.
With my two-year experience as a Maths tutor, I guided students through various stages of the national mathematics curriculum, working up to A-level standard, Planned and developed appropriate teaching materials that were tailored to each client. Created an open and trusting learning environment that allowed students to progress. Marked student work and provided informative feedback so as to further improve performances.
These contrasting placement experiences, I believe, are essential for the dynamic role a teacher plays with differing students, environments, and topics, and I feel privileged to have been able to work with students of differing abilities, interests whilst using a variety of learning techniques.
Hello there, my name is Priyanka and I am a Post Graduate teacher with 10 years of experience in Counseling, Psychology , Social science and Special Needs. I have left mainstream school to continue my passion of educating g homeschool and SEND children and people interested in learning Hindi. My sessions are online and I offer 1:1 support or group sessions.
My list of subjects are
1. Psychology - All levels
2. English - Reading ( SEND )
3. Maths - SEND
4. Geography and History
I am a fully qualified teacher, with teaching experience for over 13 years. I currently work for a Private School in London as the Head of Department for Computer Science.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science, Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) & Level 3 Diploma in Software Development.
I have been a KS2, KS3, GCSE & A-Level teacher of Computer Science for 13 years. I have taught across 4 different schools. I have worked in the state sector and now currently working in the private sector.
My subject specialism is in Computer Science from levels Key Stage 2, 3, GCSE & A-Level. I also teach Key Stage 2 & Key Stage 3 English, Science & Maths.
95% of the pupils I tutor are online. I have successfully been able to raise attainment by up to 2-3 grades at GCSE. I have had pupils I tutored who were Grade 4’s (C/D) and left with Grade 7+ (A-A**). Online teaching for me is no different as to teaching face to face. Pupils also find it to be a challenging & joyful experience too.
Exam Boards I am most familiar with are: OCR (what I teach currently), AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals (L2 & 3) etc.
I help people of all ages learn how to write and express themselves for entrance and school-leaving exams:
English entrance exams (11+; 13+) GCSE; IB Diploma program; Cambridge B2 First (formerly Cambridge First Certificate); IELTS
Academic writing skills: essays, dissertations, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge.
Employment history:
Language Curriculum Co-ordinator at the Prague British School
Lector at Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic, Department of English and American Studies.
I am passionate about mentoring and empowering students to achieve their potential in across a range of subjects. One of the most important things to me as a tutor is that students feel comfortable asking questions and discovering the 'why' behind the topic. My sessions are friendly, fun and geared towards increasing the confidence and capability of the student.
My Psychology degree and 9 years of experience working with children with Neuro-divergence and additional educational needs prior to teaching have significantly shaped my approach to teaching.
I prioritise relationship building and trust with students and their caregivers.
I am patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging but have high expectations. I work with students for them to also gain high expectations in themselves. This may happen in the first few sessions or may take a longer period of time depending on the student.
I help students gain high expectations for themselves by initially giving tasks where they are guaranteed success, then celebrating and reflecting on this success and how they were able to use the skills taught and their effort to complete the task. This builds a persons confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of attempting more difficult tasks. This is heavily proven by research (and seen in my classroom daily) known as the “theory of self efficacy” and the “theory of planned behaviour”.
If a person does not believe a task is within their capability, they are incredibly unlikely to even attempt it (No matter how much we believe they can do it).
It is my job to SHOW students they can do it by designing tasks and lessons in a way that they feel challenged finish with pride in their achievements.
When teaching new skills I will show them first, then we will complete a task together, then they will apply the skills independently. I will be constantly assessing as they work independently and provide support where necessary. The ultimate goal is to phase back my support until they are using the taught skills correctly, consistently, confidently and independently.
Lessons will vary depending on students needs. If caregivers want to spend a percentage of the lesson to discuss, that will be agreed upon. If there are specific targets you want me to cover then we can dedicate time for you to tell me these expectations. If you would prefer me to assess your student and gage where the gaps are and plan accordingly, that is also ok.
I would suggest an initial session to meet, and discuss goals.
Some classes you may benefit from:
-SATs Prep
-Phonics
-Reading (comprehension, vocabulary, inferencing, predictions, explaining, retrieval, sequencing, summarising, making links, authors intent)
-Spelling
-Grammar (or Spelling and grammar combined)
-Maths
-Maths (arithmetic)
-Maths (Reasoning and Problem solving)
-Target specific - has your teacher said there are targets you need to work on in various subjects?
-Science
-History
-Geography
-Psychology (GCSE, A Level)
Is your child in secondary school but needs support in the foundation subjects such as reading, writing or maths?
Reading and writing is an essential skills in secondary school for every subject. I can support your child to close the gap so they can access all subjects with their peers. Having worked in secondary schools before, I have seen how much students are required to read and write in all lessons, but there will not be opportunities to learn these fundamental skills at school.
I welcome students of all ages (including adults) from all backgrounds and of all abilities.
I look forward to meeting you soon and celebrating the amazing progress ahead!

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

Tutor Profile
I am a professional violinist, violist and conductor, studying for a PhD in Music at the University of Cambridge. As a Supervisor in the Faculty of Music, I teach undergraduate music students at Cambridge. I also teach conducting, violin, viola, and chamber music at the Saffron Walden Centre for Young Musicians in Essex. With over nine years of tutoring experience, I also offer private tuition in violin, viola, orchestral conducting, music, music theory, philosophy, history, essay and dissertation skills, english literature, classical civilisation and violin performance.
From the age of 17, I have taught violin and viola to a variety of students, ranging from children and adults beginning their studies, to more advanced performers looking to improve their technical facility and performance skills.
Alongside my MPhil studies at Cambridge, in which I specialised in the cultural history and musical aesthetics of Germany and France in the Long Nineteenth Century, I began working as a freelance academic tutor, and taught Music, History, Philosophy, English Literature, Dissertation Skills, and Classics to A-Level Students. I have since developed two years’ experience, in which I have taught over 900+ hours of educational content with a diversity of tutoring organisations and online education platforms. I also have experience teaching in a classroom setting. I worked as an Assistant Music Teacher at a Sixth Form College, which involved teaching Music A-Level students. I have also worked with academic summer schools in Oxford to prepare Oxbridge hopefuls for their entrance examinations.
My academic expertise is strongest in the fields of the history of philosophy, the philosophy of music, and nineteenth-century music history. I am comfortable teaching both Violin and Viola, as well as Music, History, Philosophy and Writing Skills to final-year undergraduates. I also teach Classics and English Literature to a first-year undergraduate level, and I have intermediate reading skills in French.
Additional Professional Credentials – Violinist and Recording Musician
– I have an extensive portfolio of performing credits on documentary films. Recent highlights include the BAFTA-nominated score for the BBC docuseries on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein 'House of Maxwell' (BBC2, 2022), and 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In' (Netflix) (Passion Pictures / Universal Pictures) (2021).
Approach to Teaching
– I favour a structured approach to teaching. I devise lesson plans in advance of every lesson, catered to the student's specific needs. I also inform the design of my classes through a constructive dialogue with my students. This enables me to structure my lessons within a curriculum that meets my students' specific educational needs, and serves to enable my students to achieve tangible improvements in their academic performance and musical ability.
Academic Tuition
– My academic lessons tend to be structured around specific sections of the syllabus, or particular topics that students require help with.
– I employ a seminar style format, in which I flesh out ideas with the aid of quotations, other audio-visual resources, and analytical commentary which my students can use to develop essays, essay plans, revision tools, and exam revision packs.
– I use Powerpoint to provide students with a variety of resources and visual stimuli.
– I structure my lesson plans with a view to providing short points of rest or temporary closure, in which students are able to ask questions about the content. I am also happy for students to interrupt the flow of the lesson if a burning question arises.
Musical Performance
– Violin lessons tend to be carefully planned to focus on specific technical aspects of performance. To train musicality, I often teach this through the use of Kreutzer and Fiorillo etudes, Dont studies, and also pieces of repertoire catered to the student's musical interests and technical requirements.
– I am open to considering student repertoire suggestions if they are particularly passionate about a certain piece.
Lesson Structure
– Academic lessons tend to be 45–60 minutes in length, but I can adapt my teaching schedule to provide students with additional support if needed.
– Typically violin lessons range in length from 30 minutes to an hour, but I am flexible: I am more than happy to devise a lesson structure that caters for a student's requirements.

Hello, my name is James, a Montessori qualified educator, offering rich, creative, imaginative lessons drawing on years of experience as a teacher and consultant in order to bring the curriculum to life, each lesson tailored to the specific needs and interests of the child.
After co-founding my own Montessori childcare setting in Bristol, which I ran as the lead teacher for 3 and a half years, ( tel: *** ) I went on to offer webinars for parents and educators as a consultant with Montessori Centre International (2020-2021), the training college I completed my diploma with. I have continued working as an independent consultant in the period since, with specific focus on embedding the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum in new and exciting ways, primariily for children aged 7+ through project based learning.
Drawing on Montessori Pedagogy and Philosophy I know through my own lived experience the entire curriculum can be successfully taught to the child by observing their interests and creating lessons that directly inspire their heart and imagination, increasing curiosiry and engagement in the classroom. www.*** if I observe a child of four with a fascination for dinosaurs I can use this as a jumping off point to teach Literacy, Storytelling, Phonics, Mathematics, Handwriting, Geography, Geology, Anatomy, Animal Kingdoms, Plant Kingdoms, Chemistry, History, and infinitum! All through a play based learning approach. For a child of seven with a love of babies we can teach World Cultures, Life Cycles, Human Geography, Physical Geography, History, Economics (tourism industry), English Language, and infinitum! This is the perfect age to provoike inquiry based learning and critical thinking, the child fascinating with 'How' and 'Why' questions. This deep thinking level curiosity ought to be encouraged at every opportunity. Teaching need not be as boring as sitting down and saying, "now we're doing this," we insire the imagination through movement, storytelling, big questions, provocative statements, laughter, humour, the joy of learning and exploration. The child will move seemlessly through the curriculum, ticking the boxes of all the Key Stages and more; because in Montessori we teach the universe, the cosmic education, as I navigate through Maria Montessori's 'Great Lessons' from the Big Bang, to The Story of Numbers (#MakingMathsExcitingAgain).
Your children will have a lot of fun with Montessori James, as I am also a trained professional clown, so we will have fun with humour and playfulness.

With over 15 years of dedicated experience as a Primary school teacher in Key Stage 1, I am passionate about creating a positive and nurturing learning environment that enables young learners to reach their full potential. My deep understanding of the KS1 curriculum, coupled with my commitment to individualized learning, allows me to support students in building strong foundational skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as fostering curiosity in science and the arts.
Throughout my career, I have developed a teaching approach that is both creative and adaptable, ensuring that I meet the unique needs of each student. I take pride in my ability to tailor lessons that are engaging, interactive, and aligned with the child’s learning style, whether they thrive with visual aids, hands-on activities, or verbal discussions. My goal is not just to teach core skills but to instill a love of learning and confidence in my students that will last far beyond their early school years.
I am deeply committed to making learning a rewarding experience for every child I tutor. With patience, empathy, and an unwavering dedication to student success, I take pride in watching my students grow into confident, independent learners who are excited about their learning. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the academic and personal growth of KS1 students, helping them lay a solid foundation for lifelong learning.
