/ Justin W.
My name is Justin W., and I provide tuition for GCSE English language and literature, Key Stage 2 SATs preparation, the eleven plus entrance examinations and English as a foreign language (EFL).
I’m a teacher of English at a large – successful - secondary school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, so I am in-tune with up-to-date curriculum practices, resources and reforms. Importantly, due to my school commitments, my private tuition takes place between the hours of 4 and 9pm, Monday to Friday; weekend and holiday tuition is also available.
I am fortunate to have worked across the spectrum of ages and abilities in education. I have taught through key stages 2, 3 and 4 in local state – and independent – primary, SEN and secondary schools. I also teach many 18+ students to prepare for college, university and business.
Prior to teaching, yet inextricably linked, I was an entertainer for over ten years, and this experience set the foundations for making my lessons relaxed, calm and, importantly, an enjoyable experience.
And why must students ‘enjoy’ the process?
Well, thinking back to my childhood, to this day I still remember all the fun and engaging lessons, yet I’ve cast aside the banal, drab and boring ones. Thus, my approach follows a very simple ethos: fun and engaging lessons rooted in a thorough, interweaved analysis of the curriculum.
My style of teaching is far removed from the ‘traditional’, didactic and teacher-led approach. ‘Barking’ at students and simply giving them the answer is counterproductive, and counterintuitive. I encourage my students to use the structure(s) and hypotheses afforded to them to ‘discover’ the response – and subsequently express that response in an assured, confident and competent way, whether that be vocally or through writing.
And, guided by foresight, that is my aim. I seek to arm each student with the skills, theory and structure prerequisite for the many circumstances of ‘English’: whether that be SPaG for navigating the Year 6 SATs; whether that be critical thinking, essay technique and alternative interpretations expected at GCSE level; or whether that be proof-reading, drafting and editing content for a CV or job application.
The study of English is by no means finite. It’s a continuum. And, with such a difficult and contradictory language such as English, a competent grasp of its working structure is essential for success in formative and summative assessments – and life.
Thank you in advance for considering my services, and please don’t hesitate to get in touch for any and all advice.
Best,
Justin
I am currently a Year 6 teacher in a primary school. Previously I worked in an SEMH school in year 5. Lots of SEN experience
Available to suppport with Key Stages 2-4, GCSEs, Essays, University prep and general study skills. I can also teach English Language for foreign students. I have worked in a variety of countries and with students of a diverse range of ages, abilities and differing cultural backgrounds
I am a tutor who believes in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each student. With a solid educational background and expertise, I offer comprehensive support across various subjects. My personal qualities like patience and empathy ensure a positive and encouraging learning environment. My strong communication skills bridge the gap between complex concepts and student comprehension.
By leveraging my critical thinking skills, I empower learners to develop problem-solving abilities beyond the classroom. My organizational skills ensure well-structured lessons that maximize learning potential. Through effective assessment and feedback, I ensure ongoing growth.
Ultimately, I see myself as a mentor, guiding students to academic excellence and personal growth. With a holistic approach, I help students build confidence, ignite their curiosity, and achieve their educational aspirations. My skill set extends beyond subject expertise, encompassing the ability to motivate, inspire, and create a nurturing environment that promotes student growth and success.
I am a British trained teacher, holding QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and both a BA and MA in my subject, and in addition am an examiner for Cambridge International Examinations, for IGCSE, Sinaporean N Level & International A Level.
With extensive experience of teaching in the UK and several overseas countries, I have taught KS3, Junior Secondary, KS4, GCSE & IGCSE, KS5, A Level and International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma and Middle Years Programme). At each of these levels I have taught both English Literature and English Lit.
My tutoring has encompassed both in person and online work of all age groups listed.
At this time, due to the pandemic, I am offering online tuition only, although I will return to in person tutoring once the virus is less prevalent.

After graduating from Newcastle University with a First-Class Degree in Journalism and Culture, I began a career in education through Teach First. I have since worked in a variety of different schools where I have shared my passion for learning with the many pupils that I have taught.
I am a fully qualified teacher with a Postgraduate Diploma in Education and extensive experience in primary settings including as Head of Maths. I have a meticulous knowledge of the primary curriculum, having taught for extended periods of my career in Year 6 as well as in lower KS2 and KS1. Most recently, I have worked as a specialist Year 6 SATs tutor educating small groups and individuals to help them to achieve accelerated progress towards their academic goals and aspirations. During this role, I have worked with a range of children including those with SEN.
I believe that there is no one set approach to improving academic standards and that instead this should be tailored towards the needs of the pupil on an individual basis. For example, this could involve providing challenging and thought-provoking material or rebuilding a pupil's understanding and confidence from the ground up. At the heart of my philosophy, I believe that tutors should build meaningful relationships with their pupils and encourage a love of learning.

Whilst I currently teach Maths and English in Year 6, I have many years of experience teaching also in Year 2 up to Year 5. I have been teaching the Year 6 curriculum for over 18 years and during this time have taught not only whole classes but also tutored children during 1:1 booster sessions targeting the individual needs of each pupil. Using a range of resources, my aim is to make learning fun and meaningful and at the same time develop a child's desire to learn as well as building self-esteem and confidence.
Are you looking for a tutor for your child's up and coming SATs? Or are you just looking for a confidence boost for your child? I am a very experienced tutor, with great results, for either of the above. I'm a qualified teacher and I am very enthusiastic, friendly and confident in what I do. I am willing to do whatever it takes to support your child. I have supported children from reception, right the way through to year 11. In recent years I have supported several children in achieving a pass in their end of KS2 tests. I always come prepared with a wealth of work to suit your child, including challenges, working alongside the new national curriculum. Throughout my sessions, I believe every child should be able to ask me any question in confidence, that they may not have the confidence to ask their teacher in front of their class mates. I always try my best to support in any way that I can. I am confident that I will be able to support your child in getting the best results possible. I am available to work hours to suit you and your child. I believe that a student should be comfortable whilst learning. This said, I am able to travel to you, or you could travel to me if you'd prefer. I offer great hourly rates and block booking discounts. If you have any queries or questions about anything at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
