With over 30 years of classroom, strategic, managerial, examination and assessment experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to tutoring your child/you. Tutoring is all about focusing the student on exactly what the question/task demands and demystifying the process, opening up possibilities and developing intellectual curiosity.
Before we start the tutoring, I carry out an audit of what knowledge and understanding of content there is, plus learning about the obstacles you face, what perceptions hold you back and generally finding out what kind of learner you are.
I will listen really carefully to what you need and will offer a plan to help you progress and move forward. Similarly, if I can't help, I will inform you of this too. It's really important that we get on.
Every student/learner is different; every backstory is unique. Many students have barriers; sometimes reassurance and pointing in the right direction will suffice.
Some years ago, I tutored a student on a Saturday morning. He was a bright and a very able science learner (straight As at GCSE) yet could not handle English or Literature and this was clearly holding him back (both his own self-esteem and his grades). It took a few weeks to instill a new way of apporaching the texts/writing, but once we applied a 'scientific approach' to analysis, it completely revolutinised his way of working. (He moved from a D to an A in four months of being with me, by the way!)
That was not a one-off. My recent tutoring has enabled me to accelerate learners way beyond what they thought they were capable of. Tutees are at the centre of the experince and it is all focused on them. I have an excellent interpersonal style, which is firm and fair, with a strong sense of agenda and coverage. We will go over things, revisiting to reinforce previous learning and to create the space where the tutee feels more independent and able to move forward without support. When a tutee says "I think I'm good from here!" I take that as a moment of great success!
Whether it's GCSE, A Level, BTEC or degree level, I will commit to working with you to make great progress.

I am a highly skilled Secondary School teacher of English and Head of Media Studies, with 15 years' experience teaching at Key Stage 3, 4, GCSE and A Level in both English Literature, English Language and A Level Media Studies. I've had the joy of seeing my students go on to study both subjects at university, keep in touch and even send me their university essays and degree dissertations as proof of their continued enthusiasm for both English and Media Studies.
Having taught first for five years in Swakeley's School, an excellent comprehensive school in Hillingdon, and then spent the last 10 years teaching at the excellent St Mary's School for Girls in Gerrards Cross, I have gathered a huge amount of experience teaching both large and small groups, and, particularly at A Level, tutoring small groups of between 2-8 students.
I love communicating my passion for reading, for literature, for fluent and accurate written communication and for the power of words and other media to inform, educate and entertain us, and watching young people appreciate that power and want to emulate it themselves.
Recently I have enjoyed teaching and tutoring online via Teams and Zoom, building up a whole host of new skills and finding the joy of enabling young people to learn just as (or even more) effectively from home as they have done in a school environment. The power of one-to-one teaching should not be underestimated - a huge amount can be achieved with this close attention to the needs of an individual.
With more than 3 years tutoring and teaching experience, I’m able to teach a number of subjects and different levels based on the English National Curriculum. At key stage 1, I’m able to teach any subject. At key stage 2, I can teach every subject. At key stage 3, I can teach English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, French and Arabic. At GCSE, I can teach English Literature, English Language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History, French, Arabic, Government and Politics, Business Studies, Sociology, Psychology and Law. At A Levels, I can teach English Literature, English Language, Psychology, Sociology, Government and Politics, History and Law. At university undergraduate degree, I can teach Law.
Hello, I am a university student studying in the heart of London. I was born and raised in London and experienced great success at school and at university due to amazing and unforgettable teachers. This is the foundation of my commitment to helping out my students, whatever their abilities may be. Currently, I am studying a bachelor Honours degree specialising in History. I have been tutoring and teaching for 3 years in various settings – tutoring small and large groups, private individual tutoring, and teaching in rural, suburban, and urban classroom and home settings.
I pride myself on my excellent communication skills and friendly demeanour. I endeavour to tutor seriously although I`m naturally quite a laid-back person, which is quickly recognised by pupils and puts them at ease. I also relate well to pupils because the age gap is not so large. Students often look forward to our lessons, which they say motivates them and helps them to learn. I really value getting to know my students individually and enjoy learning from them through conversation. I provide textbook recommendations and I can be very flexible with lesson days. Past parents and students echo my sentiments, as proven by reviews.

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!

Profile
My name is Zoë and I am currently 18 and on my gap year with the intent to start university in September, where I will study a course centered around Anthropology, politics and various cultural studies. So far this year I have held the position of pre-nursery and K1 teacher at an international kindergarten in Hong Kong, travelled through the Philippines and have become certified a TEFL tutor; before my gap year is over I am aiming to do some more traveling, gain more qualifications and secure an internship.
Experience
(Kindergarten teacher) Pre- Nursery and k1 teacher at sunshine house international, Tung Chung, Hong Kong, august 2023 - December 2023
This position required me to write lesson plans weeks in advance, coordinate meetings with both parents and fellow teachers and strictly follow a curriculum which I taught to my class of 10 2-3 year olds on a daily basis. More importantly this role forced me to be compassionate and patient, it allowed my to be creative and energetic and it has shown me how to be increasingly empathetic and understanding when explaining or communicating.
waitressing at the Sweeney hall hotel, 6months
Bar, barista, room and table service, house keeping, basic hospitality and customer service training for restaurant, hotel and events.
summer internship/ work experience with KOOKIE magazine 2022
Internship with 'tweens' magazine KOOKIE allowed me to understand the pressures of selecting, approving and writing content for an audience that could be directly affected by my words. Being a part of an organization built by two strong women, that is centered around educating and captivating children between the ages of 8-12+ with positive and empowering content has truly influenced my perception of both journalism and the ways in which I communicate and teach those around me when in leadership positions.

From these three qualifications I have learnt essential skills, for example, orientation and navigation using both traditional ordnance survey maps (OSM) and military grade gps equipment, plotting treks and hikes that rage from 6-18km, basic bush craft and practical camping experience; as well as learning to rely on my own dependability and capabilities as a team member and leader.

120-hour Virtual TEFL course - Combined: 2 days classroom Sat-Sun + 100-hours online, 10/01/ tel: *** CCF Army winter mountaineering camp, Dundonald, Scotland
Relying on the skills and experience gained from Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and Army camps and training, I was equipped with the ground knowledge required to safely begin a basic mountaineering course. However, due to extreme weather conditions and the surrounding environment licensed professionals were required to to train all participants in navigation (map and compass skills, navigating through a snow storm, rock navigation etc), basic rock climbing techniques (how to leverage your weight, use a harness, how and where to place your feet and properly climb and down climb) avalanche safety and companion rescue, packing for an expedition, Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness First Aid, the ways in which equipment like ice axes and crampons must be correctly used and snow-holing. All entirely new and daunting challenges that have taught me to carefully listen to instructions while also forcing me think on my feet and calculate a plan in unexpected situations.
Active member of the CCF army company at Ellesmere college- Cadet colour Sargent , NCO
The five years of acting as a cadet has been one of my most treasured experiences of high school. Weekly 3hr long sessions along side multiple expeditions/ camps per semester have equipped me for the the hard work, determination and commitment required in all walks of life. In addition, in 2020 I was promoted to the leadership position of NCO meaning I acted as a www.*** and ‘coach’ to pupils from all age groups, as well as holding assembly’s in which I would be presenting to a wide variety of audiences on many occasion; all experiences that have contributed to the mindset and attitude I bring into the workplace.
