/ Derek Y.
My objective is to obtain employment part time teaching English or in tutoring for exam preparation. Having worked extensively with y6 pupils, I am experianced and successful at preparing students for SATS and independent schools entrance examinations. My background includes exam work with Capita, NFER and Pearson over many years in various roles eg Senior marker/ coder/ quality monitor.
In March – April 2020 I completed a TEFL course online (120 hours) with modules on Grammar, methodology, teaching online/via telephone, video observation and teaching large groups. Following this I worked for two years as an English tutor online with EF Tutors. I have also worked on the National Tutoring programme (online) with groups of y5 children who needed help having had their learning interrupted by COVID.
I am a specialist in languages, having studied Russian and Italian at Liverpool University and throughout my teaching career taught English and French. I attained a bachelor degree with honours level 2i. I have the ability to acquire language readily and understand grammatical structures and how they work in English as well as the other languages I have studied. In my teaching career, I was member of the SLT at a highly successful and progressive independent Junior School for 18 years prior to retirement. During this time, I was responsible for developing the programmes of study for English for a number of years and leading the staff development in this subject area.
I am also highly experienced in one to one tuition and coaching for independent schools’ entrance exams over many years with success.
I've previously only tutored students in person so I'm excited to try out online tutoring classes! Here's a little bit more about me:
- I studied English Language, English Literature, Media Studies and Psychology at A-Level
- I enjoy reading (obviously) and watching thriller movies
- My academic interest is accent variations and how accents/dialects are represented in online news sources
Online tutoring should give me more freedom with my availability to fit around your busy lives! However, I'm more than happy to discuss in-person sessions in Lancaster on the following days:
Tuesday, Thursday, weekends* *please be aware that as a student, I will only be able to offer in-person sessions during University term-time unless cost-of-travel payments can be arranged.
I look forward to meeting with you! I'm very passionate about my subjects so I hope to make these sessions both fun and constructive!

I am an experienced English teacher who has just graduated from the University of Cumbria in June 2020. This means that I have the knowledge of the up and coming learning theories that could help your child to exceed their potential.
During my placement the country went into lockdown so I did the majority of my teaching online. This allowed me to become engaging and encouraging over online lessons and helped me to see the benefits of learning and teaching online.
It is because of this that I have decided to use my knowledge to help those who feel that they have been left behind at school because of the pandemic, or those who simply want to improve their English skills.
I pride myself on being able to work with children who find school challenging and I have the ability to engage these children with English and help them to understand the more complex themes that this subject can present. I have a lot of experience with students with SEND and I am able to tailor my lessons to each child.
Becuase of the personal nature of my lessons, I am hoping to help engage all students who are feeling left behind because of the lack of school and help them to engage with the English Langauge and help them to be fully prepared for next year.
I also have experience of working with G&T children, within the classroom and online, and pride myself on being able to push those children to gain their potential. I am particualry keen to ensure that these children still go on to gain the grades that they were expecting even with the lack of school.
My lessons will all take place online which means that there is no commuting time for anyone allowing for more lessons at a cheaper price. This also means that students who are shy or do not feel comfortable are able to work from the comfort of their own home and without the fear of meeting new people as they will be behind the safety net of the computer screen.
I have worked with several different age groups and supported many children in 1 on 1 interventions. I have good curriculum knowledge and experience working with different SEN.

Recognizing the importance of personalized attention, I leverage my insights into child development and effective teaching strategies to provide tailored tutoring sessions. My goal is to bridge any learning gaps, reinforce foundational concepts, and instill confidence in my students.

I have supported hundreds of students, and their parents or carers, to identify strategies that enable the attainment above and beyond their subject target grades.
Tutoring Approach
My mission is to make a positive difference in the community’s children's lives through Education. I aim to encourage an enthusiasm for lifelong learning, for students of all ages, by unlocking learning potential and building confidence. Prior to the commencement of tutoring, I offer a free consultation session & free assessment to review the exact level of the students. Then with Students and their parents/carer, we review the current academic report with empathy and listen to the concerns surrounding the subject, including barriers to learning and discussion of appropriate learning styles. I subsequently construct an individual syllabus-specific course of study, aimed at achieving above and beyond the target grade. I provide regular feedback to parents/carers to ensure complete transparency and offer extra hours of tutoring if needed to cover the syllabus or exam preparation.
