Sarah H.

New tutor

I love stories and music. This is why I did an English and Music degree, which I really enjoyed. Reading and writing are such essential and valuable skills, so this, along with my love of stories is why I teach English. I think the Harry Potter books are fantastic. My favourite Shakespeare play is ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, as I love the magic of the forest and the fun of the character Puck. I have also studied Ancient Greek. This proved to be a fascinating language; I found it interesting to learn where so many modern words stem from. I used to run my own drama groups; I believe in the importance of self expression and the confidence that this can bring to people. I have been a tour guide, which was great fun. It was an excellent opportunity to see many interesting sites, whilst meeting many wonderful people. I have worked with a wide range of students over the years and believe in the potential of every individual. In my spare time I enjoy playing the piano. I try to write songs with my partner, who is a much better musician than me. It usually ends up with me writing the lyrics and him writing the music! I also enjoy sailing, writing stories and walking my crazy puppy; she is a mix of sheepdogs, so all she wants to do is round everyone up, including the cat!

Elena Szentgyorgyi

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.

Go Student has been an amazing company to work for but also an amazing place for students to find tutors that best suit their learning styles. I have been with the company for just under 2 years now and I love the structure, collaboration and development of the company. GoStudent is moving towards the future not only for tutors and teachers but for students to and how they are able to learn in the future. I have never been more proud working with a company than I am at GoStudent.

## How online English tuition can benefit you

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:

  • Exam technique training
  • Essay writing practice
  • Speaking, listening and vocabulary development

Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.

Answering student's questions about online English lessons

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.

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.
