What I teach: - Spanish (GCSE preparation) - Spanish as a second language for adults *Accredited DELE examiner (official Spanish as a second language test) *I speak English proficiently and Spanish as a native speaker. My strong points as a tutor: - Tailoring and framing content so that the learner can approach their goals more dynamically or in a way which is relatable to them. - Training the student to know how to learn more efficiently in order not to lose motivation. - Setting goals and milestones to track progress and see visible results. When I'm not teaching, researching, or improving my online business, you'll find me reading, walking, learning to play the guitar, playing a videogame, or secretly complaning about bad teaching.

Greetings! I am Halle Maria Corcoran, a hardworking and driven individual with immense enthusiasm for becoming a secondary school teacher specializing in history, politics, and society. My passion for tutoring, coupled with a desire to acquire practical schooling experience, makes me a valuable addition to your team. During my leaving certificate, I excelled in higher geography, history, and physics, with history being my favorite subject. As a result, I frequently assisted my peers with test preparation and the research project, gaining extensive knowledge and expertise in these topics. I am confident that I can harness this experience and provide students with succinct and effective guidance on selecting appropriate research titles, simplifying complex concepts, and improving their overall performance. With my zeal for education and desire to work with Ireland's astute young students, I am confident that I can make a significant contribution to your institution. I am eager to embark on a journey of work, growth and achievement, bringing with me a zest for life and a fierce determination to succeed

I am a Dedicated Teacher with a 6 year plus track record of successfully encouraging and leading pupils. Highly organised, motivational teacher with an exceptional behaviour management skill set. Expert in providing constructive feedback to maintain pupils’ passion for learning. I pride myself on my ability to help students attain the grades they want – even on topics they don’t especially like! Whether it is Language or Literature, I’ve managed to produce amazing results, even after only a few weeks of tutoring. . I have a proven ability to engage and motivate young learners from a diversity of backgrounds, age groups and abilities and remain passionately committed to raising student outcomes. I am very flexible with my teaching style and will go above and beyond for the academic development of each student. I am well versed with their mark scheme and awarding criteria. I provide a world class experience of learning, that suits the needs of each individual learner. My lessons are fun, dynamic, engaging, challenging and full packed with excellent learning resources and activities that help the student achieve and success at obtain great results, My teaching style is a unique blend of vibrancy and professionalism. I've always believed that both teaching and learning should be fun and this is the ethos I adhere to in every lesson. I have a proven track record of significantly improving students' grades and I believe this is because my students genuinely enjoy being in my classes. Once the topic is consolidated, the second part of the session consists of past paper question practise. We work together through topical exam questions to prepare the student for the layout and standard of question they will receive in their exam. In my opinion, question practise is vital for success in english exams and is a key form of revision. If a student can confidently work through past paper questions on the topic covered, we can both feel confident they will succeed in their exams

GCSE: Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths and History. A Level: Chemistry and Sociology Exam Board experience: Edexcel, AQA and OCR Hi! My name is Fahima and I am a Second year Law student at the University of Birmingham. Teaching is one of my many passions, and I believe education is more than the pursuit of academic excellence, as a tutor I hope to be able to offer a secure place for children to advance in individuality, and to aid with character development. As an independent, selfless and critically thinking individual, I believe such personal assets, as well as having an empathetic and enthusiastic charisma, will hopefully, enable me to be successful in this field of work, as these are essential qualities vital for an educator. Some of my hobbies include travelling, swimming, and reading!

Hi there! I am an experienced and empathetic English Literature and Language tutor with over 5 years of experience and many success stories under my belt. I have experience teaching English Literature and English Language for the following levels and exam boards: A-Level— AQA, OCR, WJEC Eduqas; GCSE— AQA, OCR, WJEC Eduqas; Key Stage 3, as well as the 11+ exams. I'm also very interested in tutoring students at the undergraduate level. I only (fluently) speak English, and I do not have any SEN tutoring experience. My approach to tutoring is student centric, with a focus on developing skills via scaffolding. I encourage participation and employ multimedia learning tools when and where appropriate. Empathy and support are the cornerstones of a good classroom experience, so I am highly patient with all of my students and try to structure my tutoring to build on their schoolwork and complement their existing learning. My proudest moments are when something has 'clicked' for one of my students that they have previously struggled with in class! In my spare time, I (predictably) enjoy reading, walking and listening to podcasts, but I'm also an enthusiastic home cook, amateur forager and volunteer at a local art gallery. I have something of a tech-y side also, and I've been known to tinker with computers and play videogames (usually on the artsier side)!

I’m an enthusiastic individual, that is keen on teaching children, of all ages, up until A-level. I have many different hobbies, such as playing sports and cooking different recipes, which is something I carry out in my free time. I’m also multilingual, as I can speak both Bengali and Urdu fluently. I also have experience of teaching, as I ran my own personal tuition for primary school children, now moving unto secondary school, for English, which is something that I am carrying out now. I’m looking forward to teaching Primary school children, for both Maths and English, as well as English Language and English Literature for GCSE students, and in teaching Finance to A-level students. I have successfully achieved a grade 8 for English Literature, as well as a grade 6 for English language. In addition, I studied Finance as one of my A-level subjects and achieved an A*. I just completed my university degree in Accounting and Finance this year. I enjoy teaching a lot, and it’s something that I’ve always been passionate about, from a young age. I currently also work in a primary school alongside my studies which I recently completed, by doing 1-1 with SEN children, assisting them with their learning. This supports my ability to tutor as it gives me an insight into the different concepts children are learning in school, allowing me to provide my students with the help they need, as I'm aware of how important a child's education is, in shaping their future and I hope and wish to be a part of that.

I've been working with John Statham since April and I can tell he is one of the best tutors I have worked with. He is very patient and passionate about his job. He has lots of knowledge in different fields. He is working with me on English grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing and understanding of the content and the improvements I've made since working with him are enormous. He is also very flexible with the session schedule, which significantly benefits me as I have a hectic program. I highly recommend John to anyone who wants to improve their English skills. Overall I am delighted that I had the chance to get John as my tutor.

By subjects
English tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence
Studying English at school includes technical aspects of the language such as grammar and vocabulary, and English literature focuses on text analysis and creative writing.
English-related skills such as reading and writing are vital throughout school, regardless of the subject matter. Learning how to communicate your thoughts clearly boosts self-confidence, improves vocabulary and leads to better exam results.
GoStudent English tutors offer one-to-one lessons tailored to your child’s needs, helping them understand where their weaknesses are in their written work and working with them to improve their writing style.
The advantages of studying English
English is an essential subject in the national curriculum. All students are required to pass English exams at primary school and English makes up one of the three core GCSE subjects in secondary school.
Studying for an English and Literature A-level or an undergraduate or master's degree can be hugely rewarding. Not only will you learn a great deal about the language, you will also be introduced to radically different ways of understanding and explaining the world.
An English degree can open the door to a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as teaching, editing, journalism and law. There is also a growing market for teaching English as a second language either at home or overseas, where the demand might be higher.
English tuition at primary school
English tuition at primary school is an excellent way to prepare for the future. Studying reading and writing helps with English language skills in general, and learning about different authors and their works may very well ignite a passion for reading in your child, laying the foundation for study at a higher level.
English exam preparation and English revision classes
GCSE exams are the qualifications students take at the age of 16. GCSE English provides a solid foundation for studying humanities courses at a higher level, and skills taught include writing essays, reading comprehension and text analysis.
If your child choose to continue to study English Language and Literature at A-level, it's extremely important for them to achieve a solid GCSE foundation.
English tutors can provide:
Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.
