Born and bred in Paris, France, I came to the UK 25+ years ago to work as an animator and graphic designer. I am hence fluent in English and, beside art, I have always been interested in foreign languages: English, Spanish, German... In fact, languages were among my choices of career when I was at school. I started my career in animation with an internship in a studio in Barcelona, where I could also polish my skills in Spanish. Being particularly enamoured with English, I did all I could to learn it from an early age: reading books, listening to songs, watching films in English... Coming to the UK to live and work was a dream come true.
I worked as an animator in the videogame industry first, then for TV and film. I am also an author and illustrator, with a comic book (involving cartoon animals and motorbikes, among other things...) and a bilingual (French-English) children's book published so far. I also got into designing graphics for t-shirts and the gift industry.
Working on my bilingual children's book, which I wrote, translated from French to English and illustrated, not only made me realise the same story will never be articulated in the same way from one language to another but, led me to think about teaching my own language to others.
So here I am: while I don't hide the enthusiasm and sheer joy I feel in the process of transmitting my knowledge to my tutees, I am also a friendly, patient tutor with a calm and gentle demeanour, always making sure that the words, phrases, and grammar are understood correctly.
I teach children, teenagers, adults, seniors... and will adapt my teaching style to each person's ability, goals and interests. I can teach in person and online on Skype, Zoom, Messenger or anything else that I may not be aware of but that you use yourself.
So feel free to get in touch if you need lessons, I will be delighted to hear from you and, looking forward to working with you in expanding your knowledge of a beautiful language.

I really love my job! Working with lots of different personalities and age groups, I love to help students gain a new or increased love of Maths, and to help them feel confident to reach their learning goals.
I can work flexibly from a huge bank of learning resources, and always like to make use of visuals, physical objects, graphing software and games and puzzles. Maths is such a vast and varied subject that it is nice to take a look at an idea from many angles.
If you are looking for targeted exam preparation for you or your child, I have good knowledge of the various exam board specifications and the National Curriculum from Key Stage 1-4.
My friendly, tailored tutoring is available online via Skype, Whatsapp, Facetime or Google Classroom. Feel free to call for a detailed initial consultation!

My name is Holly and I'm an 18 year old tutor currently on a gap year!
Although I do not have any experience tutoring I have work experience in nurseries and helping run a youth club and have a strong passion for teaching children of all ages.
I will create a relaxed session, aiming to allow students to feel comfortable to ask questions and ensure they feel more confident in the subject. I will adapt my teaching style depending on the client as I understand that everyone learns differently, whether this be incorporating interactive techniques such as whiteboards or reading and writing techniques.
I have knowledge of Primary, GCSE and A Level curriculums with a mixture of exam boards.
I am hoping to gain experience in tutoring in order to prepare for a teaching career in the future. Teaching has always been my dream and is truly what I love.

An enthusiastic and experienced KS2, KS3 and KS4 maths teacher with a solid academic experience, offers maths lesson. First lesson free!
My studies and work experience, both in Italy and in the UK, equipped me with a solid subject knowledge in Mathematics and sciences and how to teach them effectively.
After 6 years of teaching experience (incuding online live lessons) in national schools and colleges, I am keen on implementing my career and developing a successful career as Maths online tutor.
In my recent experience, I have been tutoring a group of pupils since year 7 pupils preparing actions plans and individual teaching plans when required, arranged sessions for the UKMT Maths challenge, wrote references to colleges for year 11 pupils, arranged maths intervention to contribute to raise department achievements and was involved in schools’ extra curricula sport and music events.
My educational philosophy encompasses a series of key points as follows:
1) Students need to learn as much as they need food, clothing and shelter. An educator’s job is to fill that primal need for learning by creating engaging and relevant learning experiences every day.
2) Teachers should treat students as active participants in the learning process.
3) Be strongly aligned with student-centred learning involving exploration, discovery, experiential learning, and the production of high quality work.
4) Students need oral and written feedback to improve. Teachers need to gather data on student performance to adjust the learning environment and instruction so that they can target students' learning needs. Teachers administer pre-tests to find a starting point for learning and post-tests to determine the students' increase in performance level as well as the teachers' effectiveness.
5) Students need structure and appropriate repetition to learn. A teacher should be able to organize a standards-based lesson sequence, successfully implement the plan, and then evaluate student learning.
6) Be able to create an exciting learning environment that makes it difficult for students not to learn. A teacher should know how to include all students in learning at their own level, and a teacher should be able to inspire the students to push themselves to the next level.
7) Students need tools and resources. They should have skills and strategies to be able to work effectively in the different levels of the cognitive domain as defined by Benjamin Bloom. Students should also be aware of their own learning preferences, and teachers should assist with creating a plan to develop other learning skills.
8) A teacher has to be prepared to adopt multiple roles in the classroom (facilitator, teacher, instructor, coach, consultant, counsellor, and mentor) as well as a proper use of the Teaching Assistant.
9) Being genuine and modelling trust can significantly help establish a successful learning environment and maintain a collaborative climate in the classroom.
10) A good teacher needs an excellent subject knowledge and a high willingness to push himself to a higher confidence.

Hi there!
I am a qualified English Literature and Language teacher and Teach First ambassador, specialising in secondary schools (years 7-13), since 2012, and prep schools (years 4-8) since 2018. I also teach mathematics up to and including Upper KS2: Long Division, Common Factors, Common Multiples, Prime Numbers, Mental Calculations, Square and Cube Numbers and more for that Key Stage.
I have been tutoring one-to-one since 2015 and found, since the 2020 lockdown, that tutoring online can be just as beneficial if not better for several reasons: no travel for either party; shared resources online rather than requiring a printer, therefore saving paper; allowance for different ways of communicating rather than just speech - for example, silent discussions through typed notes that can be edited, saved and stored immediately - which is especially beneficial for students with speech impairments or those who communicate better through writing.
I have been working for a home-education group in the woods near to where I live since September 2019 and have continued to learn and explore the importance of creativity, immersion in a task and a level of autonomy on a student's learning path. I aim to reproduce what I have learnt in my years of experience to offer online tutoring lessons for both individuals and groups.
My experience spans from working in one of the most poverty-stricken provinces in Buenos Aires in 2010 as an English tutor for disadvantaged children, to working as the private tutor for my school's Sheikh's son in Qatar during my three years working in a British international school out there. (2015-2018.) I am interested in all people from all walks of life and all educational backgrounds.
If you think I could help you / your child in their education, please get in touch. I am also a writer and assistant reader for Firewords magazine in my spare time. My subject is my life.
Please contact me directly at ***@*** for a free first lesson! I look forward to hearing from you.
