I am an enthusiastic and dedicated English tutor and examiner. I offer stimulating and enjoyable lessons via video call which build upon each student's strengths to enable them to overcome their difficulties with greater confidence. I find tutoring immensely rewarding and strive to help all my students meet their full potential regardless of their ability. I have experience teaching SEN students, particularly those with autism, dyslexia and manual difficulties. To date I have had 100% pass rate and all of my students have achieved grades 9-4 (A*- C). I am a member of the Tutors Association and have acurrent DBS certificate.
I understand fully the advantages and disadvantages of studying from home as I have gained all of my qualifications through distance learning, including my PhD. I have been a judge of the BBC Radio 2 '500 Words' children's short story competition and a volunteer for the National Literacy Trust's "Summer Reading Challenge" for children. I have a research interest in Thomas Hardy and write poetry and English study guides.

-Experience tutoring for the 11+ examination;
-Experience teaching at primary school;
-Experience working with multiple disabilities, speech impairments and hindering conditions.
I went into teaching as it has always been my passion to try to make a difference in children's lives.
After careful consideration I decided to leave mainstream education and set up my own learning centre using kinaesthetic activities with play therapy.
The centre also offers meditation in order to promote wellbeing in body, mind and spirit.
I believe children are all individual and no two children are the same.
My motto is "when a flower doesn't bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower"
About me: Primary school teacher. 3 years experience. Creative individual who just wants the best for her students.
I have taught year groups in key stage 1 and 2 and have good knowledge of phonics to help develop reading and writing. I am fully aware that everybody learns differently and I am therefore fully adaptable whether that be if you learn visually or a through concrete approach.
As a passionate licensed teacher, my primary goal is to motivate and guide students to achieve excellence and exceed their own personal limits using diverse up-to-date pedagogical strategies.
I am currently a PhD student in Education at the University of Bath, Bath Somerset.
I worked as an ESL and SEN Teacher for the past 5 years in Japan teaching both online and in-person, after concluding a post-graduate educational research program at Naruto University of Education, Japan. I also have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Education degree (National Teachers' Institute, Nigeria) and a www.*** in Botany (Second Class Upper Honors) from Nnamdi Azikiwe University , Awka, Nigeria.
Prior to that, I had taught for five years at The Centagon International School (TCIS), Abuja and for two years at Rainbow International College, Surulere, Lagos.
In addition to striving to instill a love of learning and making learning exciting and interesting, I utilize activities according to curriculum requirements, and expand on previous knowledge while encouraging students to explore new and interesting possibilities. I also spur students to construct their own learning in an environment that stimulates and helps them realize their full potential.
Having taught in international multicultural schools, I have had some excellent results with a wide range of learners who had had a history/background of 'not-so-good' performance in Math, English and Sciences. A good number of my students who had challenges in core aspects now hit on-levels and above-levels with ease, confidence, and delight.
With lots of experience preparing children for 7+,11+ and 13+ exams, I intend to combine my wealth of teaching experience with my ability as a compassionate, enthusiastic, innovative teacher in order to help your child achieve and exceed their goals.
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with you!
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.

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.

PROJECTS
A Review on Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (TMLE) For Average Treatment Effect (ATE) of Binary Treatment for Correctly Specified Model
As, a part of my dissertation work in the B. Sc. Course in Statistics, I have worked on this topic, by generating datasets on R software and used Minitab (Statistical Software) for computing different parameters for the study. For estimating the average effect of a cer-tain binary treatment, the targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) approaches are always preferred more. The TMLE approach is used to improve the probability of the correct model specification by estimation using Efficient Influence Curve (EIC) function, which is one of the semiparametric double robust methods. Under the guidance of a pro-fessor of my college, I have worked on the utility and the real-life circumstances of the TMLE Process, assuming cancer to be a binary treatment. This work helps me to grow up an ability to overcome challenges and to develop my interpersonal analytical skills.
TECHNICAL SKILLS SQL: Learned as part of my postgraduate coursework.
- R, C, Python Programmings: Learned as a part of general Computer Science course in my undergraduate degree.
- HTML, CSS: Learned as a part of general Computer Science course in my undergraduate degree.
