Parmida Abdollahi - Tutor in Canterbury
from £10-20
Parmida Abdollahi
English Literature Tutor
Canterbury, England
I am a first year Physics student at the University of Kent. I have always enjoyed teaching and academia, so much so that my dream in life is to become a theoretical physicist after graduation. As a result, one of my biggest passions in life is to contribute to young mind’s understanding of the universe through science and mathematics. I have outstanding organisation skills, which allow me to be flexible in my schedule, and use my time as effectively as possible. Moreover, I love meeting new people which would make an excellent teacher, as I am able to connect with people comfortably. I am fluent in English and Persian, with conversational skills in Russian and Arabic. At school, I set up a maths club for ages 5 to 6 and have participated in many science and debating competition, which includes a first place at a science fair for building holograms. I have also enjoyed competing in UKMT and Kangaroo challenges, as well as taking Open University courses to further educate myself on various topics.

Jonathan Heath - Tutor in Stourbridge
from £30-54
Jonathan Heath
English Literature Tutor, Teacher
Stourbridge, England
TUTOR SUMMARY An award-winning teacher ♦ 16 years’ experience in some of the UK’s toughest secondary and college classrooms Expert in 7/11+/GCSE/A Level/Degree level Specialist in English, Maths, History, International Relations and entrance exams University of Warwick and University of Birmingham prize-winning student MRes and PGCE trained with QTS status Served as Assistant Head of Department, Advanced Teaching Practitioner and Teacher Training Lead ”Super Tutor” with over 15k lessons across 1k students within 32 countries Educational consultant sought out for occasional media appearances (Radio 4, BBC) Mentor to entrants into property with developments totalling £14 million Come and learn with the best ⚠️Limited slots⚠️ ⇛BOOK THROUGH TUTOR EXTRA⇚ MY STORY I am currently a grade-one “outstanding” teacher in my present school, and have been delivering KS3, GCSE and A Level English, Maths and History in the secondary and sixth-form sectors for the past 16 years, in which time my results have far surpassed national pass rates. Moreover, due to these outstanding results and innovative teaching methods, I have served as Assistant Head of Department; helping us to be awarded an internal grade 1 “outstanding” rating for the 6 years in which I held the post. Furthermore, I also have extensive experience as an “Advanced Practitioner”-tasked with turning around failing cohorts in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as my time as an examiner for a variety of GCSE/A Level exam boards. Moreover, due to this long history of being a stand-out professional in the education sector, my advice has been sought out for occasional media and radio appearances for discussions on educational policy, whilst also being head-hunted to tutor the children of prominent public figures including Premiership footballers, Olympic athletes, luminaries of the business world, and even the family of a Nobel Prize winner for a month-which was awesome! Furthermore, in also being an accomplished property developer with my own UK real-estate portfolio and honorary co-founder of a former property company alongside my partner, I have acted as a business mentor to Year 11 students on entrepreneurship, and how to begin their own journey in property investment, which has seen me guide some of the UK’s brightest new generation of business leaders. In my remaining spare time, I am currently engaged in the pre-reading for the start of my future PHD in International Relations, during which I will be studying the geopolitics of any superpower conflict over Taiwan. Furthermore, I enjoy travelling extensively in our second home of Tuscany with my young family, supporting Manchester United, playing the drums, and playing the PlayStation (although not as much as I used to, these days!) As my full and varied career has hopefully shown, I have a passion for English, maths, history, and the 11+ exams, taking great pride in providing the best academic and pastoral support I can, whilst hopefully being an outstanding role-model for all of my students, as I help them forge their way in the world. QUALIFICATIONS --MRes (Distinction) in International Security from University of Warwick-won academic award for writing an “outstanding and genuinely original dissertation” that represented: “an important contribution to existing literature in the field of International Security”. --PGCE (Distinction) in Secondary Education-ranked in the top 2 trainee teachers in my year’s cohort, with outstanding feedback in academic and practical assessments --BA (Hons) in English/History from University of Birmingham-received special award for achieving academic excellence despite coming from the bottom 5% of UK families in terms of socioeconomic poverty --A Levels (A* in all subjects taken): prize winning student in my sixth form for most inspirational pupil, and was in the top 2% of the UK for my academic results, including 100% in key modules TUTORING EXPERIENCE I have a broad range of experience turning around struggling students in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as challenging high achieving learners in the pursuit of academic excellence. In my teaching and tutoring career thus far, I have taught across the curriculum age-ranges (7-18 years), as well as undergraduate and postgraduate level students, and specialise in teaching troubled learners lacking confidence, whilst pushing very bright pupils. Since I began teaching at my institution, English pass-rates received a 25% upwards leap in the opening two years and my tutoring pass grades in my subjects of English, maths and history have been outstanding, so that the vast majority of my classes/tutees are now passing with strong academic grades, and attaining entry to prestigious preparatory schools and/or universities. During last academic year, my tutees enjoyed superb results in English, Maths, History and the 11+, with 96% reaching their target minimum grade, and 68% exceeding this mark, entering prestigious institutions such as the University of Durham, University of Heidelburg and Bromsgrove School, as well as world-class employers such as Rolls Royce. Therefore, over my career as a “super-tutor” so far, I am proud to have delivered over 15,000 lessons across 1000 students within 32 countries, from the UK to Hong Kong. I also have considerable mentoring expertise, in having built my own UK property portfolio currently valued at £2.75 million from scratch, I have mentored many adult and teenage entrants into property investing, guiding their purchases and renovations to the overall value of £14 million, and counting. In addition to this, I have also been an informal mentor to UK gang members, tasked with persuading them to their back on lives of criminality, and embrace the transformative potential of education, which has been among the most rewarding roles of my career thus far. PARENT FEEDBACK --“Jonathan is fantastic and my 15 years old have a big turn round about his view of education. Now he can't wait for his lesson!” --“I could not have wished for a better tutor for my son! I cannot praise Jon's enthusiasm for his subject, motivational skills and professionalism enough.” --“The biggest testimonial comes from my son, who now looks forward to and enjoys his weekly visit! praise indeed from a teenager!” --“I have nothing but praise for Jonathan.” --“George is totally happy to see him which is a miracle at 3pm on a Saturday!” --“Jon is a fantastic teacher best tutor I have ever had.” --“AMAZINGLY helpful, nice and very cooperative.” --“Thanks soooo much Jon, Ashleigh passed, she won't be doing retakes and is feeling incredibly relieved.” --“We feel lucky to book a place with him early on as he seemed to be full booked before December.” --“Never passed an English test before in my whole life then came to Jonathan with very little time for my first GCSE exam and managed to get an A for English literature and a B for creative writing. 10/10.” --"Jon has a unique ability to get students onboard in a short amount of time. He is quick to establish a rapport, building on trust and confidence which makes an ideal platform for focused learning”. --“He is heavily in demand which speaks volumes in terms of his reputation and is super knowledgeable and prepared for all elements of the syllabus.” --“He went from a predicted a 4/5 to an 8 !!! We were extremely pleased and put this down to Jons ability.” --“I wish we had found him earlier! We highly recommend him!” --“He is helpful and gifted at tutoring kids so they understand exactly what they need to change or improve on. We will be using Jon for all of our children.” TUTORING APPROACH Besides enjoying superb results, my pupils benefit from a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere, with high commitment being expected of them and this has shown to bring both personal and academic growth, which is always pleasing to see. Moreover, in strengthening self-esteem and exciting the minds of my students, to equip them with the skills they need to excel in later life, I seek to provide them with only the finest education possible. In terms of my lesson delivery, I always strive to be on the cutting-edge of education in use of teaching resources and methods. Therefore, my approach to tutoring makes use of the techniques of “blended learning”, utilising advanced video-conferencing software, modern presentational packages such as Prezi, powerful virtual learning environments and resourced by well-known educational companies, all supported by online platforms provided by GCSE Bitesize, amongst others. This constant innovation was perhaps best illustrated by my recent use of computer games as a learning tool, which led to some of my classes’ GCSE English creative writing being utilised by exam boards as exemplars to share across the UK, in which they were inspired by video games such as Halo and Mass Effect to attain grade 9s. In light of this dedication to using Smart tech to deliver a first-class education, throughout my teaching career in inner-city schools and sixth-forms, I have become known for never leaving any learner behind, whilst using creative methods in covering the curriculum in an accessible and enjoyable way. Needless to say, I passionately believe that education should be a joy, not a chore, and I always do my best to ensure this for each and every one of my students, both in the classroom and online. *Enhanced DBS certified **Kindly note: proposed rate will be dependent on level of study, length of tutoring period and demand.

Science Clinic Private Tutoring Company
English Literature School, Learning Centre, Preschool, Primary School, Secondary School, Private School, College, Academy, Language School, Speciality School, Faith School, Free School, Boarding School, Education Centre, Tutoring Centre, Tuition Centre
Chelmsford, England
Science Clinic Private Tutors was founded in 2010. Our vision was to help struggling children understand the concepts of the major subjects which are sought after by many colleges & universities. Our tutoring was mainly in the main subjects (Maths, all 3 Sciences & English Language) to exam students only. Because of the huge demand of tutoring in all year groups, we now teach students across the board from Primary (KS1 & KS2) through to GCSE, A-level and University. We were luck to have had colleagues we share the same vision with join us. Now we can teach all subjects from Primary through to GCSE, College /A-levels and Science & Maths at University level. All our teachers / tutors are graduates and qualified teachers with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) who understand the National Curriculum. Some of them are examiners at GCSE and A-level, which means they know the exam techniques students need to answer the exam questions properly and get better grades. Within the team, we have professionals with very high qualifications ie Masters Degrees (MSc / MA) and PhDs in various subjects. We can, therefore, be confident to say we are professionals who are dedicated to what we do with proven records in the UK’s most entrance and national exams. We are a tutoring organisation that is defined by its professionalism. Our aim is to provide a personal service. This makes us very different from most tutoring companies that just offer a platform for tutors and students to meet. We speak to clients so that we can match them with the most appropriate tutor for their needs. When this happens, the results can be remarkable & confidence grows. We personally know all our tutors and all have had DBS checks and their qualifications checked before we take them on. We are also a member of The Tutors’ Association (TTA) which was formed in 2013 to provide standards to the tutoring industry.

Olivia Davidson
English Literature Tutor
Inverness, Scotland
I recently moved back to Inverness after living in Asia for 15 years. I have been tutoring English full time to children aged 1.5 - 12 years old since early 2020. Before this I did it part time whilst I had a full time job. Simultaneously, I successfully accomplished the TEFL level 5 certificate as I am committed to developing my professional education and am now doing a Post Graduate Diploma in Education online. Throughout my time teaching, I have gained extensive experience in Jolly Phonics, building vocabulary, grammar, creative writing, pronunciation, interview preparation and more. I have learned to always clarify my students’ learning objectives and to structurally plan lessons to keep them focused, yet challenging at an appropriate level. My extensive work experience in Asia has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills, such as time management, communication and organisational skills. Additionally, it has made responsibilities such as writing weekly detailed reports on each student more proficient. Most importantly, I have a wealth of experience working well with others, motivating and inspiring them. Children love my charisma, as I am very creative, out-going and patient. I believe that these are all very notable contributions for teaching.

Danielle Walters
English Literature Tutor
Cardiff, Wales
I'm a Cardiff University graduate and a passionate, patient teacher. I have 9 years of teaching experience and training from exam boards across England and Wales. Are you a GCSE student? For some of you, it’s exam season and you’re probably under a lot of pressure: from school, from family, maybe even from yourself. I’m here to help guide you through the material in a way that works for you. Whether you’re overwhelmed and we need to break it down into more manageable chunks, or you’re looking to challenge yourself for those extra marks with some intense revision and original ideas, I always tailor my sessions to work for my students’ unique needs. Perhaps you're a parent or guardian looking to support or challenge your child? Over the years, my students’ ages have ranged from as young as 5 in group settings, up to 19 for 1-1 sessions. Engagement is important and I know how to keep students actively learning. I always focus on building confidence, fostering curiosity and encouraging creative, independent thinking, as I believe these are the real foundations of academic and personal success. For KS3 students (11-14), it’s important to broaden their knowledge base by using longer texts from various historical periods, comparing and contrasting literary contexts and choices, and introducing analytical thinking and writing. This ensures students are exploring literature and their own writing through a rich, varied approach in line with national curriculum guidelines, leaving them well prepared to develop themselves further in the following years. If you have any questions or think I might be a good fit for you or your child, I’m happy to message or offer free web chats, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. I'd love to hear from you!

Benjamin Unsworth
English Literature Tutor, Teacher
Newcastle upon Tyne, England
I'm currently an undergrad at Newcastle University, studying the Classics. My passion is for Doctor Who and almost anything to do with classic sci-fi and horror. I'm autistic, diagnosed since the age of 14, and so I have many experiences with other autistics and I frequently helped out with the Special Educational Needs department at my high school/sixth form. I'm a published author of horror short stories, as well as having featured on panels at FantasyCon 2023 and SciFi Weekend 2023, with more stuff in the works. My subjects at A-Level were English Lit. (AQA), Theatre Studies (Edexcel), and Religious Studies (OCR). My high school had an internal mentoring scheme, where I helped 2 GCSE students with their English, the skills for which help with Latin and Greek immensely. For Ancient Greek, I taught a GCSE student from scratch for about 2 years, and as such created resources from scratch and would adjust my lessons on a weekly basis. For Latin, I helped the same student on a regular basis with their Latin, but at A-Level I was also asked by my Head of Classics to help the Y8s who'd joined late in the term by taking them out of lessons and catching them up on thr basic Latin skills they'd have missed. Additionally, my love for Classical languages and English extended to me doing JACT's Durham Summer School between L6 and U6. That, apart from being an enjoyable time in itself and which is highly recommendable, exposed me to a lot of different teaching styles, and gave me great in-depth knowledge of the languages and the culture.

At the same time, their work addresses societal and cultural issues across centuries that are still prevalent in today's society.

English literature is rich in literary techniques and devices that authors use to convey their messages to the readers. Some examples include metaphors, personification, foreshadowing, allusions, and irony, amongst others, which enrich the meaning and impact of the text on readers. These techniques are used to create depth, emotion, and dramatic effect, often making a text more interesting and memorable.
