With extensive experience teaching a wide range of subjects, I have developed interdisciplinary methods that make learning both enjoyable and relevant. By integrating geospatial sciences with English language instruction, I create lessons that demonstrate the real-world applications of what students are learning. My aim is to ignite curiosity and passion for the subject while equipping students with the skills to excel academically and beyond. Over the years, I have taught students from diverse age groups, from primary school to university, and from various cultural backgrounds and nationalities. This breadth of experience has allowed me to tailor my teaching approach to meet individual learning needs, ensuring that every student, regardless of their background, can succeed. Whether we are tackling complex geographical concepts or refining language skills, my goal is to make learning engaging and empowering for each student. - PhD in Earth Sciences, specializing in Cartography (Toponymy) and onomastics - Master's in Linguistics and Advanced English Studies, with a specialization in Education - Training in Technical Translation - Bachelor's in English Studies, specializing in Sociolinguistics - Bachelor's in Cartography, Geology, and Geoinformatics

A-Level: English, French, Italian, Montenegrian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian language Uni-Level: English, Montenegrian, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian language, Law Exam board exp: IELTS test Experience with: The schooling system in England and Wales Languages: English, Italian, French, Montenegrian, Serbian, Bosnian Croatian Preferred student age group: Any About me: Hi everyone :) My name is Nikola and I am a lawyer in London. My past experience is narrowly related to the law and tutoring, while my past, present and future free time experience is exclusively reserved for sports, travelling and of course, my best friend Brik (he is one amazing labrador with a strong human personality). Even though I am a lawyer, my true passion was and still is to teach and do sports (literally any sports, however basketball and football do have an advantage among others). I have been playing basketball for the last 20 years now, and yes, that is my first true love, while my second passion was and still is to teach people and pass the knowledge I have. As I am from the Mediterranean coast, after all, my passion for food cannot pass undetected. I am a food lover, I enjoy cooking, trying out new specialities, and creating something on my own. Furthermore, I do love long walks, nature and guess what, movies. My favourite movie is Night in a Museum, as it has everything I like, history, comedy and yes, museums. Lastly, I am quite a sociable person and I love meeting new people with a different story on daily basis. Hope to see you soon in class :) My academic experience is linked with the University of Montenegro, where I have gained an undergraduate and postgraduate diploma in law and Swansea University where I have obtained an LLM certificate for International Commercial and Maritime Law. During my university experience at Swansea University, I have worked as an International Student Ambassador where my main duty was to help foreign students regarding the language barrier and application process. My teaching method is adapted to beginners up to advanced students. I already taught students from all around the world, with different levels. I try to create a relaxing atmosphere where students would not be stressed about exams while ensuring to obtain the best grade. I believe that every student is unique and has their own needs. Therefore my method is tailored to each student to reach their full potential in the language they want to learn. My goal is for you to be happy about your communication skills, whether it is for travelling, school or business. Indeed, if you are looking to get better at speaking at work, my experience will definitely help you. In the past, I helped the businessman and lawyers to improve their speaking skills (presentation, meetings, etc). I teach the English language and literature for beginners, students or professionals. Furthermore, I am doing preparation for the IELTS test. I also teach French language A1, A2 level. Furthermore, as a native speaker, I can teach you Montenegrin, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian language. Last but not least, as an experienced lawyer, I do offer a possibility to tutor law students from a civil or common law background. I can't wait to see you soon in class.

Hi there, My name is Dan and I have taught over 1000 sessions for Gostudent with great parental feedback. I am able to give students tasks that get them thinking and responding as if there were in class or an exam without getting them to realise that they are doing this. This means they are more engaged and students, who maybe are struggling, see that they can succeed. I am also able to engage with parents and students at the same, making it clear to Parents what has been achieved. I primarily work with GCSE and A-Level Students, but do also have experience with KS3. I have been studying my PhD at the University of Liverpool, and prior to that I did my MA and BA at University of Newcastle. I studied A-Levels at Richard Huish College in Somerset. I have always been trying to take on new tasks and new qualifications, which at the moment has taken the form of studying German, French, Latin and Ancient Greek.

Hello! My name is Najma and I study History at the University of Birmingham. I studied History, English Lit and Religious Studies at A-Level so I understand the stresses that come with essay-based subjects! Throughout my life, I have been taught by some incredible tutors and I hope that I can not only help you succeed in your exams, but also grow in confidence. I aim to make the sessions as relaxed as possible as I know how stressful school can get. My sessions will be tailored to you, ensuring that your academic needs are met. In order to find out what you want to work on, we can have a Trial session where we can get to know other as well as discussing your goals. From there, I will make a thorough lesson plan which specifically caters to you. During the sessions, an emphasis will be placed on exam techniques which will allow you to answer questions effectively. I will also offer useful revision tips and help you make resources (to spare you the chaos that is last-minute flashcard-making!)

I teach English Literature and English Language to GCSE aged students. I also teach English as a foreign language to both children and adults. I teach Philosophy, Ethics, and Religious Studies up to GCSE level. I teach English to French students and can speak conversational French to aid this. I tutor students working towards their IELTS qualification. I have a Masters in Mental and Moral Science (Philosophy) from Trinity College, Dublin and am looking to further my formal education in the coming years aside from the countless MOOCs I've taken ranging from Opera to Counter-Terrorism classes. I enjoy Creative Writing and am always penning stories or poetry. I have lived all over the world, love traveling and exploring and look forward to learning how we can incorporate your personal experiences and passions into your studies.

I am a 23 year old full time tutor working from the United Kingdom. I have both a first class undergraduate degree in English and Drama, and a first class masters in Storytelling. I have taught (and still teach) GCSE English Language, Literature, Drama, History as well as the same subjects for A-level (excluding certain History subjects). I am most proficient in increasing grades in essay writing and creative writing formats. I am a native English speaker but I teach ESL, TOEFL, AND KET, so have extensive experience teaching students whose native language is Chinese. As mentioned above, I have attended university for 4 years and graduated almost 2 years ago. I have two first class degrees, with both dissertations scoring above 80 (indicating a publishable standard of work). My personal interests lay within fiction and non-fiction writing, as well as film and the art of gamic narratives.

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.

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. Others might not have the time to sit with children and work through homework.

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.
