Excellent references on request. Kind, caring and understanding tutor. Please get in contact if your child needs a boost, is finding school challenging or needs to gain confidence in their learning. All attainment levels- from children working below age related expectations to children who are more able.
Happy to chat through your requirements. As a mother of four, who also uses tutoring for my own children, I understand that tutoring is a significant financial commitment but, through one to one lessons, your child will be able to learn in a highly personalised and safe environment and will thrive.
High success rate of helping children to gain places at their school of choice.
/ Colin R.
Primary school teacher with over 30 years teaching experience in KS1 and KS2 in Australia and the UK.
Contact me elsewhere. This site is totally overpriced & completely underwhelming.
I have extensive experience over 34+ years in both the public (UK, New Zealand) and private sectors (China) as a curriculum leader, classroom teacher, small group ESL lessons - as well as private tuition throughout that period with all ages and abilities of students. For the last 2+ years I have been teaching online.
All of my students have been at the very centre of my purpose. I model open mindedness and curiosity. I develop confident, relaxed progress on learning objectives in a positive, friendly yet focused environment. I attract parents and students that seek that style and pathway forward. I worked with Sasha for two years until they left Shanghai.
To Whom it May Concern
It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Gary www.***
Gary has been a tutor for our son Sasha for the last 2 years, 2 times each week to boost Sasha's Mathematic achievements and to help in adapting to a new curricula system (as a result of changing a school internationally). Sasha was struggling with stress, performing low at school, especially at Math.
Though Gary's careful support during that period our son gained confidence and reached a level of aptitude in Math and other subjects (like Science) that would have seemed impossible 2 years ago.
Gary is a very professional and competent teacher. Along with being organized and prepared, Gary has the ability to quickly build a positive rapport with his students and he is well-liked and respected by them. He is a teacher who inspires the children with his intelligence, enthusiasm, humor and creativity.
I would highly recommend Gary R. as a private tutor.
Sincerely, Iryna Severenchuk Guinot
I have worked in the smallest and the largest schools; the most humbling special needs schools and the high-pressure academic variety. I have worked with children from age 3 to 15 of many nationalities and socio-economic backgrounds.

ONLINE ENGLISH TUTOR and MENTOR: own business
Based in the UK, students of all ages from Azerbaijan to Germany, Bulgaria to China, Latvia to London find me through other sites, not this one. I teach adults, young adults and younger children worldwide, between two and five hours a day; 7 days a week. This TutorExtra website has found me not a single student whatsoever: just 14 enquiries in 2 years. The first few seemed phoney.
I create bespoke curricula experiences for each student - some based on well-known courses, all heavily- modified, open-ended, flexible and learning goal-specific. If you think inside the box I am probably not for you.

I tavelled all over Shanghai in my little red car. Really. Loved it.
AUGUST 2009 – JULY 2010
FUDAN WANKE EXPERIMENTAL PRIVATE SCHOOL, SHANGHAI
A completely innovative and extraordinary role with the duties of a lead Kindergarten teacher in the Bi-lingual ‘C-BAN’ learning a mixture of Chinese, US, British and Singaporean curriculum in a special programme - at the time available only to Non-Chinese Nationals within this Private Chinese School. With three classes, C-Ban was in its infancy with few resources, no organisational structure and much innovation and initiative were required. I introduced and demonstrated the 'radical' concept of child-centred education. I created a reading library of hundreds of new books, with no support funding or training. I introduced the concept and the reality of integrating Educational Support Professionals, such as Educational Psychologists to support students. I introduced the soft carpet /soft furnishings area with the eager help of parents. I modernised the classroom layout away from the 'rows of desks' approach. Now there are twelve classes (- and a library). They have ‘modernised’ and now thrive.

My background and journey
Before working for myself I ran a youth work charity in Cumbria for 10 years, and also worked to empower young people to become active with volunteering in their local community. I taught Psychology at GCSE, A-level, Degree and Post Graduate levels. I have also worked within the homeless sector and within the adult education system coordinating learning support in the same role a SENDCO would have in a school.
My areas of expertise are in dyslexia, trauma and mental health, confidence building, motivation and one to one work. My ability to think outside the box when engaging people means that I capture peoples imagination and show them how they can motivate themselves to be successful. My experience in the Army has also honed my self determination and efficiency.
I am dyslexic, although I wasn’t assessed until I was an adult, I always suspected that I viewed the world in a slightly different way to others. I suspect I have elements of other SpLD's too which means that I have to put more effort into everyday life than most people. This means that I can truly empathise with the people I work with.
My adventure with dyslexia has taught me to understand that what I have to offer is unique and valuable because of my dyslexia, not despite my dyslexia! This is what I want to teach to our everyone in our community who is also neurodiverse.
I am also a mum to a very lively and humorous 10 yr boy. As a parent I understand the issues that parents have in trying to get their child's needs met, this coupled with my experience teaching and coordinating learning support which underpins my training as a dyslexia specialist and trauma and mental health practitioner means that I understand how parents and schools can work together to get the best for every child.
The package I offer
Each child has different needs and this is why I deliver bespoke packages to each person. I also include Dyslexia Gold in my packages and support inbetween lessons via an educational app called edmodo which parents can also have a loggin for so they can monitor all contact between me and a student.
If you have any quesstions, please contact me.
I am a friendly Primary teacher that is currently a Severe and Complex Needs teacher in a local high school. I have experience from Nursery to age 18. I can help with all subjects in the primary curriculum and English and Maths until National 3.
I have high expectations for myself and I expect each of my students to give their best efforts to reach their potential.
I will make learning fun and I will use a multi-sensory approach for maximum progress.
I will work at your pace to ensure learning and understanding is consolidated.
I am a kind, resilient and positive role model. I am committed to supporting my pupils' efforts and developing their confidence and motivation.

Highly accomplished in creating educational and recreational activities designed to develop children’s psychological, emotional, behavioural and social skills. Dedicated to helping children better understand the world around them and develop relationships with parents to enrich children’s lives through play and learning.
My approach to teaching is to make learning fun, meaningful and accessible for all regardless of ability.
I believe every child has the capability to achieve and it is the responsibility of the teacher to bring out the best in their students.
I adopt a child centred approach to teaching. I believe each child is unique so therefore teaching strategies need to be adapted to meet the needs of each child. I have 8 years experience with tutoring students from aged 6-18 years old. I have experience tutoring students with autism, learning difficulties and selective mutism.
I am also a Primary/Secondary school teacher. My specialism is: Primary English and Maths, A level Psychology, GCSE English and Maths.
I can provide range of fun, interactive resources online to support to students.
I use a resource called Microsoft Team which allows video call facility and instant messenger. This allows the student to have access to instant feedback and also virtual face to face lessons. Students also receive online certificates that they can print off at home.

Hello,
I have been a teacher since 2008 when I gained my PGCE, specialising in Early Years (5-11). I then went on to get my Masters in Education. For the last twelve years I have taught over a range of year groups and enjoy the challenge that teaching brings. I have had experience of tutoring Year 5 and 6 children with good results. I love the one to one teaching experience with children and know that I can make a difference to those children needing just a bit more support at this difficult time. I have a further DBS on the update service. Please contact me via my facebook page or call me for more details.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Jo
