Nur A.
Essay Writing Tutor, Teacher
Romford, England
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 :)

Laura Pasternack - Tutor in London

Laura Pasternack
Essay Writing Tutor, Teacher, Instructor
London, England
Teaching is my third and final career and I love it. I have over 25 years experience of helping students of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. I am a qualified teacher with 14 years in classrooms, teaching English and law, and I'm also a qualified journalist and solicitor. I found school very challenging myself, so I completely understand why many very bright students don't do as well as they could at school. The truth is, school isn't always the best place to learn. The current situation means that by September, most of the current cohort of students in year 10 are not going to know what has hit them. GCSE has become increasingly difficult since 2008 and the 2015 reform means that it is exceedingly difficult to get above grade 6. I anticipate that this year's year 11 cohort hoping to study English at A level will be similarly shellshocked. The gap between GCSE and A level is enormous and even students with a predicted grade 8 or 9 are likely to find the A level daunting to say the least. I offer one to one support online using facetime, zoom and Google docs for students able to type. I also offer small group preparation for both next year's GCSE and A levels in both language and literature to ensure that in September they hit the ground running. These sessions are done using zoom or at my home in Ealing. Tutoring Experience:- Since 1998 I have helped literally hundreds of students to:- * achieve grade A/A*/9 in GCSE English both literature and language; * get into a wide range of top London schools both private and selective grammar schools including St Paul's Girls, St Paul's Boys, Henrietta Barnett, Tiffin Girls, Eton, UCS, as well as Merchant Taylor, Godolphin and Latimer, Haileybury, Hampton, John Lyons, Notting Hill and Ealing, Kew House, St James', Kings College Wimbledon, Haberdashers Askes, St Helen's Northwood, Northwood College, Royal Masonic, Habs Girls, Harrow School, Northbridge House, St Augustines, Brighton College and Latymer Upper * win scholarships to Harrow School, UCS Northwood College and Notting Hill and Ealing High. I also help children aged 4 and above who are struggling with English, French or maths. In 2019 I had five GCSE students who attend state private schools, and three who attend private schools including St. Pauls Boys; six 11+ primary students and four home-schooled students aged 7, 12, 14 and 16. I am pleased to say that out of the 8 GCSE students, 7 got grade 9 for both English language and English literature. The other student got 9 for literstliterature for language As for my 11+ students, in February this year all 6 of them got places at their first choice schools which were NHE, Latymer Upper, Kew House, Tiffin Girls, Henrietta Barnett and Northwood College. I also see several adults on a regular or ad hoc basis, for example Claudette who is 58. Initially I helped her with GCSE English in 2016. I then supported her during her Access course. She's now halfway through her degree in physiotherapy at Birkbeck. Background information:- My first teaching experience was as a volunteer, teaching Adult Literacy from 1985-1987 while working as a freelance journalist. When I completed my LPC in 1994 I started tutoring law while waiting for a training contract to manifest. Halfway through that training contract I realised that I preferred working as a tutor to working in law and left law. From 1995-97 I taught at a local boys preparatory school - Durston House - while completing my vocational training part time as a solicitor. I began tutoring fulltime in 1998 when I realised that although working in the law is fascinating, it's not a lifestyle I want, and I have been tutoring ever since. From 1999 to 2012 I was teaching English fulltime in a sixth form college which specialised in English at all levels from Functional Skills and IELTS, to academic English i.e. GCSE, Access, and A Level language, literature and lang/lit. I continued to see a few private students, and in 2012 I returned to fulltime tutoring. Ad hoc help:- Apart from tutoring, I also help adult students with their theses and dissertations, teach them how to edit their work properly, how to ensure that they are not straying off topic, and how to improve their vocabulary and expression. I can do this online or face to face. Help with personal statements, applications for research grants and CVs is available face to face or via Google docs. Children- and adults- with disabilities:- In the last 22 years I have taught literally thousands of students and many of them have had disabilities including deaf students, visually impaired students and students with cerebral palsy, as well as students with learning difficulties including AS, APD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. I have studied the growing problem of both ESOL and native speaking English students who have difficulty in drawing inferences from what they read. My method of teaching uses a very carefully selected range of texts to focus on intensely in order to determine whether further investigation is appropriate. I am not qualified to diagnose autism but I have successfully taught many students on the spectrum. Tutoring Approach:- Alongside teaching, I have studied the psychology of learning and have many tools at my disposal to teach the skills that today's students and job seekers need. If you are struggling in school, college or university, it is not your fault. My job is to ensure that you do not need a tutor as quickly as possible while offering ongoing support if necessary. I believe that given the right atmosphere, attitude and support, anyone can succeed. A stressful environment makes learning almost impossible, so my lessons are extremely relaxing. Students are usually amazed at how fast the time passes. At the end of the session I ensure the student understands everything covered in that session, and may ask for the student to complete an appropriate length homework to bring to the next session. My motto is "self talk determines destiny" and I help students to unlearn the idea that they can't do something. My approach is first to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student. The first session is designed for the student (and their parents) to assess me, as well as for me to work out the student's current level of ability and their learning style. In subsequent sessions the most important thing is to ensure that the student has no gaps in their understanding of the subject and what is required. So I always begin at the beginning and usually students progress very quickly through the first phase. Once they are reasonably confident and have caught up with their school's expectations, I begin to stretch them, at their own pace. I believe that students want to do well but are self-conscious and dislike asking for help at school as it makes them feel stupid. Lack of basic understanding results in lack of self confidence which can easily develop into becoming withdrawn or disruptive in class, or hating the subject. It is quite easy to turn the student's attitude around once they realise that they can succeed, so I do a lot of confidence building exercises and use praise and humour to help them see what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right. As a result of this, their self esteem is enhanced and they become more willing to contribute in class and take risks, rather than sitting in the back of the classroom praying for the time to pass. I use my own resources which I have developed by studying assessment criteria and objectives of all of the boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC) as well as the specifics of GCSE and IGCSE. For 11+ and CE I use a wide range of texts that are demanding and lend themselves to students learning how to explore linguisruc effects. I prefer to tutor at the student's home because I think students feel more secure and relaxed in their own home, however students can of course, come to me if this suits them better. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions as long as the student feels comfortable with that. I am always happy to consider teaching friends at the same time to keep costs down (max group size 4 students), and am happy to negotiate an appropriate rate for group sessions. Such sessions take place in my home. Please note the following:- 1. I charge a supplement of £7.50 to travel upto 3 miles as well as a residents parking ticket if necessary or reimbursement for parking costs; 2. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation or payment in full (except for travel time) under all circumstances including sudden illness.Whenever possible I will offer a session later in the week but this is not always possible. 3. On Sundays I only teach from my home; 4. For distances beyond 3 miles radius of my home, the minimum session is an hour and a half. This can be shared between siblings, or between subjects eg maths and English, maths and French or English and French; 5. For distances beyond 5 miles radius of my home, I charge for one hour of my time, or an uber in both directions, whichever is cheaper, instead of £7.50. These sessions are also a minimum of an hour and a half, which can be shared between siblings or subjects; 6. All GCSE and A level students are welcome to send me essays of upto 1000 words to comment on between sessions. There is no charge.for this service. Finally, if you would like references from current or previous students (or their parents) please just ask.

Michael got A for Literature and A for language. •Shivam C, December 2013 successful applicant to Princeton: Laura helped me with all the essays over whole weekends perfecting the essays. We were working in a very short time-frame. She was always very patient. Her calm demeanour and attention-to-detail was a huge aid for me to get into Dartmouth College (best undergraduate teaching in America). I would recommend anyone to get Laura to help them with any essays they have. She would be equally splendid as a teacher in English writing skills or grammar, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.

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

profile / Michael S.
I took courses in German and Latin during my undergraduate at Cornell University, achieving a minor in German Studies. I continued studying Latin over the course of my MPhil at the University of Cambridge, using it to look at medieval sources in the original language. I have two years of experience tutoring my classmates in German and Latin, and, as a prospective future teacher, I'm interested to offering my services to students who can use my help. I typically like to start lessons by pinpointing the problems and discomforts my students have with language, and develop strategies to combat them from there. Studying Latin has given me a strong understanding of how grammar structures language, and this informs my pedagogy, making me a clear explicator of the many uncertainties that come with grammar. Lessons can look different depending on the student's needs; I'm happy to work on homework together, go over past assignments and exams to find areas to improve, and to teach lessons when the student requires more individual attention. Most importantly, the student and their needs come first. As such, I'm happy to tutor in person or online, meeting the student in the middle to offer them the help they need to succeed.

Mastering the Art of Essay Writing: Tips and Techniques

Essay writing can be a daunting task for many students, but it is an essential academic skill that is needed throughout their academic careers. Writing an essay involves a lot of brainstorming, research, outlining, writing, and editing. As a teacher, tutor, or student, you need to know the techniques and strategies that can help you to improve your essay writing skills.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced writer, you can always improve your skills by following some expert tips. In this article, we will take a deep dive into the topic of essay writing and discuss some valuable insights, tips, and techniques that can aid you in your essay writing journey.

Understanding the Assignment

Before starting an essay, it is important to understand the requirements of the assignment. Carefully read the instructions, analyse the topic, and ask your teacher or tutor if you have any doubts. Make sure you know the structure, word count, and formatting requirements of the essay.

Researching

Researching is an important step in writing a successful essay. Collect enough reliable sources that support your topic. Note down the important points and ideas that you can use in your essay. Use reliable sources such as academic journals, books, and governmental websites.

Planning and Outlining

Planning and outlining play an important role in the essay writing process.

Make a plan of what you want to write about, how you want to structure it, and what evidence you will use to support your argument. Outlining will help you to organise your thoughts and ideas, and it will also help you to avoid writer's block.

Writing 

Once you have done your research and made your plan, start writing your essay. Follow the structures such as introduction, body, and conclusion. Make sure you keep the tone consistent throughout the essay. Use academic language, sentence structures, and vocabulary.

Editing and Proofreading

Editing and proofreading are crucial steps in writing a successful essay. After completing your essay, take a break, and come back to it with fresh eyes. Check for grammar, spelling errors, and sentence structure. Make sure your essay has a clear message and a strong flow.

Conclusion

Essay writing is an essential academic skill, and following the above tips and techniques will help you to master this art. Always remember to understand the assignment, research, plan, write, and edit your essay. As a student, you can always seek help from a teacher or tutor to improve your essay writing skills. Essay writing might seem intimidating at first, but with practice and determination, you can excel in it. Make sure you enjoy the process of essay writing, and you will excel in it.

FAQs
An essay follows a fundamental structure consisting of three key components. Firstly, it starts with an introduction where you introduce your topic and engage your readers with a hook or a compelling statement. Then, the body of the essay comprises several paragraphs, each presenting a unique argument or point of view supported by evidence and examples. Finally, the conclusion wraps up your essay by summarising the main points and restating your thesis statement.
Improving your essay writing skills is a gradual process that involves consistent practice, seeking constructive feedback from teachers or tutors, and dedicating time to reading a variety of texts. Additionally, you can enhance your skills by studying essay-writing guides and tips that cover everything from structuring your essay effectively to refining your grammar and style.
Crafting a strong thesis statement is crucial to the success of your essay. A robust thesis should be clear and concise, offering a precise viewpoint or argument on the topic. Moreover, it should be arguable, meaning it can be supported or challenged by evidence, setting the stage for the discussion in the rest of your essay.
Properly citing sources in your essay is essential to avoid plagiarism and give credit to the authors you reference. You should follow a specific citation style (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago) that your instructor or institution recommends. Ensure you use in-text citations correctly, providing the necessary information to locate the source in your bibliography or works cited page.
Avoiding common mistakes is crucial for producing high-quality essays. These errors include disorganised writing, lack of clarity in your arguments, grammar and spelling mistakes, and not adhering to the assignment's instructions. A thorough proofreading and editing process can help you address these issues and present a polished essay.
Selecting an appropriate essay topic involves considering your interests and aligning them with the assignment guidelines. Start by brainstorming ideas, conducting preliminary research, and evaluating whether there are enough credible sources available to support your arguments effectively.
Effective brainstorming techniques can help you generate ideas and structure your thoughts before you begin writing. Try methods like mind mapping, which visualises your ideas, freewriting, which encourages continuous writing without judgement, or listing, which organises your thoughts in a straightforward manner.
Outlining an essay plays a crucial role in the writing process. It helps you organise your ideas systematically, create a logical flow from one point to another, and ensure that your arguments are presented coherently. An outline serves as a roadmap, making the writing process smoother and more efficient.
To captivate your readers, employ engaging writing techniques such as using vivid and descriptive language that appeals to the senses. Additionally, incorporate relevant examples and anecdotes to illustrate your points, and craft an introduction that arouses curiosity and a conclusion that leaves a lasting impression.
Certainly, there is a wealth of online resources available to assist with essay writing. You can find comprehensive writing guides, essay samples, and tutorials on various websites and educational platforms. These resources cover a wide range of topics and can provide valuable support at different stages of your essay-writing journey.
