Hi! I'm Natalie, and I'm a 20-year old Politics student currently in my second year at Aberystwyth University. I'm offering tutoring for English (GCSE), Maths (at primary level), History (GCSE) and 11+ entrance exams. Though I might be young, I'm well-qualified, with 3 A Levels (ABB, History/Latin/Gov't & Politics) and 11 GCSEs (inc. Maths, English Language and English Literature). My education informs my style of teaching; thorough and clear, but always engaging and adaptive. I have experience with most of the major exam boards' course content, including AQA, WJEC and OCR. I'm originally from Liverpool, and attended The Blue Coat School in Wavertree for my secondary and sixth form education. I come from a disadvantaged background, and this helps me to understand the needs of students struggling with their education, emotions or engagement with others; I believe it is just as important to understand and connect with students as it is to help them achieve their potential. I tutor both at primary and GCSE level, but I have most experience in tutoring for 11+ exams; my secondary school was a selective grammar school, which I gained entry to in the top band. I am very familiar with the content of these exams and the techniques that can be used to prepare well for them. Outside of my work and studies, I'm engaged in politics, I like to keep fit and I enjoy a game of chess (this is not to say I win as often as I'd like, however!) Most importantly, I try to enjoy the time I spend doing anything, and I always strive for it to be the same for my students by making enjoyable and engaging lessons for them. My aim is to make hard work feel easy, and I look forward to meeting you to get started! I am currently studying for a Bachelor's degree in Politics in my second year. My formal qualifications are as follows; - At A Level; A in History, B in Government and Politics, B in Latin - At GCSE; 11 GCSEs (9-1 grading scheme) including 8 in History and Maths and 6 in both English Language and Literature Additionally, I have around two and a half years of volunteer experience working with vulnerable adults as a foodbank assistant in Liverpool.

I am an English Literature graduate from the University of Birmingham, who is currently studying a Masters degree in Philosophy. I really enjoy English and Philosophy as they can be a really fun subjects to learn as well as teach. I found that at school my teachers made the subjects enjoyable, so much so that I got a grade 9 in my English Literature GCSE and a grade 8 in English Language as well as a grade A* in my Religious Studies A-level and a 2:1 in my English Literature degree. Therefore, I aim to help students improve their grades by making learning enjoyable because when something is difficult to learn it can be difficult to want to understand and persevere. As a tutor, it is important to understand areas of struggle and help to adapt them in a way that is more accessible to the student. I have achieved 10 GCSEs, in which I received: 1 Grade 9 in English Literature, 4 Grade 8’s (1 Grade 8 being in English Language), 3 Grade 7’s and 2 Grade 6’s. I have also achieved 3 A-levels and received: an A* in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics, an A in English Literature and a B in German. I have recently graduated from the University of Birmingham as an undergraduate English Literature student with a 2:1 Honours

GCSE: English, German, Preferred student age group: Primary Level, GCSE level About me: Hello there! I'm Vlad, and I'm excited to embark on this learning journey with you. With a Bachelor's degree in English and Communications, I've dedicated the past 5 years to the wonderful world of teaching.

While my main focus is English, I'm a multilingual enthusiast who is proficient in German and Russian as well. I've had the privilege of working with primary school children, helping them master these languages. Additionally, I've successfully guided students through the challenging IELTS exam, enabling them to pursue higher education at prestigious international institutions. But that's not all – I'm also here to make math an enjoyable journey for primary-level learners. Teaching primary level Maths is another one of my strengths, and I take great joy in helping young minds unlock the world of numbers.

So, I invite you to join my one-of-a-kind learning world, where we prioritize a fun and individually tailored learning experience. When I'm not teaching, my interests are vast and diverse. I have a deep love for exploring various music genres and even played the clarinet during my university years. I also enjoy tutoring music literature at different non-profit organizations. Beyond that, I'm a passionate artist and filmmaker. You'll often find me sketching in my free time, capturing the essence of life through street photography, or creating compelling short documentary films. Join me on this exciting educational adventure, where learning is a dynamic and enjoyable process. Together, we'll explore the world of language, culture, creativity, and even the fascinating realm of mathematics. My educational journey has played a pivotal role in shaping my career as an educator.

This academic foundation in language and communication has been instrumental in my ability to effectively convey complex ideas to students from diverse backgrounds. However, my quest for knowledge didn't stop there. I pursued a Master's degree in Management and Leadership, a decision that has significantly enriched my teaching career. This advanced degree has not only honed my leadership and organizational skills but has also equipped me with the strategic thinking required for effective classroom management and curriculum development. My educational journey has provided me with a holistic approach to teaching.

Hello! Thank you for reading my profile, I'm Abbie, a postgrad student in Japanese and Chinese translation. I am passionate about teaching and motivating my students to branch out from topics typical at school. My key aims in all lessons are to make steps towards building students' confidence in the desired subject and building upon academic skills to feel prepared for exams or tests. I strive to ensure my students enjoy each lesson, feel safe in my lesson space and feel comfortable asking and discussing anything about the subject. I plan my lessons to fit each student's style of learning and interests for example studying the history of manga in Japanese lessons or diving into the world of gothic literature in English lessons - there is something for everyone! I can help with exam preparation and practice and provide extra support/materials for personal study. Subjects I teach (up to GCSE): English Language and Literature, English as a Second Language, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Welsh I have been tutoring for over 3 years now, both abroad and in the UK. I have experience working with students of all ages and with different abilities (including language abilities). I have N3 proficiency in Japanese and high proficiency in Mandarin Chinese (traditional and simplified).

Teaching you or your children is my passion. Achieving your full potential, my main target. I believe in your singularity as an individual and the reason I adapt my classes to you, and not the opposite. Full interaction is key to engage you and make you reach your full potential. Having worked with multiple year groups in primary, SEN and tutoring classes proved to me that my students and I feel more comfortable when we work together. I grew up speaking 3 languages, therefore I found it easier to pick up more languages as I already had an ear for it. This led me to study all languages at A-Level before I decided to study my bachelor's degree in music. As you can see my passions lie in various subjects so let's meet and see how we can work together. Listening and learning to who you are will be the first step to personalise and tailor the way we feel most comfortable working together. It’s not about what you learn, it’s the kind of person that the knowledge will make you out to be. As a human being, play is an essential aspect of your development. Einstein said "Play is the highest form of research”. You and my students enjoy, explore, try, fail, succeed, question everything, play and walk their own path but, always by my side.

I have been teaching English for GCSE, Junior Cert and Leaving Cert, as well as teaching Junior Cert and Leaving Cert French online for the last two years. As well as this, I teach primary school Irish and Ordinary Level Irish for the Junior and Leaving Certificate exams. I also have experience in tutoring EFL students with a low-level of English and helping them to gain confidence in their language skills. I have guided many students towards achieving both higher grades and developing genuine interest in the subjects I teach through my engaging and clear teaching style. I strongly believe that when students are comfortable with their tutor, and when they have a say in what material needs to be studied, they find it easier to actively learn and to absorb the information which they are being taught.

We home educate our 2 boys and Go Student have really helped us to split our time between them. Whilst our eldest (6) is having his lesson online I can focus my attention on our youngest (5) and ensure that both are getting the one to one time they need but also ensuring that they are both learning and progressing with their education. Our son's tutor Justin Wood is enthusiastic, engaging and patient. He gives our son confidence and time to answer questions and uses resources which incorporate some of our son's interests such as trains and planes. When our son is struggling with an answer, Justin encourages him to have a go and use his 'train brain' to gee him on. Our son finds this hilarious and they make train sounds to help boost our son's enthusiasm which in turn helps him engage and enjoy the lesson. Justin makes the lessons fun and interesting. We've noticed a big change in our son's confidence since he's been learning with Justin and he looks forward to his Maths and English lessons. His spelling and reading has significantly improved and his maths skills are growing by the day. Justin keeps us updated with our son's progress and we talk about areas that we can focus on to help him improve further. Justin is flexible and accommodating and it's lovely to hear our son say how much he enjoys his lessons with him.

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.

After the lesson, you can decide which membership model will best meet your child’s needs. The lessons will continue via our practical online platform using video chat and practical digital tools.
How much does private English tuition cost?
Prices for private English tuition can be as low as £21.99. The cost of each individual lesson will depend on how many lessons your child takes per week and how long they would like tuition for. Book a free trial session to see how affordable private English tutoring can be with GoStudent.
As well as English, does GoStudent offer private tuition in other subjects?
GoStudent can help give your child support with private English tuition as well as offering tuition for 40+ subjects. Select from a range of subjects including Chemistry, Physics, Spanish. Your child isn't tied into one subject with GoStudent. Maybe your child needs support with English now but as their needs change we can also offer tuition across different subjects.
What are the benefits of private English tutoring for your child?
There are many reasons why parents decide to hire a private English tutor. Some parents fear that they don’t have the knowledge to help their children with their English homework or exam preparation.

Our English tutors can take away this stress by helping your child consolidate what they have been learning in school, working through their homework with them and building their confidence ahead of their exams. You can rest easy knowing that our tutors are experts in English and have the knowledge and teaching abilities to not only spark your child’s interest in the subject but also foster a lifelong love of learning.
