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. TUTORING AVAILABLE: Primary School: English, French, Irish Junior Certificate: English, French, Irish (OL) Leaving Certificate: English, French, Irish (OL) BIO: Hi everyone! My name is Grace and I'm a 25 year old private tutor from Ireland. I have always had a passion for languages and I speak English, Irish and French fluently. I studied psychology in university so I'm very interested in how people think and how we communicate! I love to travel and I have lived in multiple countries, including France and Spain.

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. Teaching has always been my calling, stemming from my school days when I first realized my passion for it. Over time, it evolved into a profession that I absolutely adore. 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. My teaching philosophy centers around creating engaging, informative, and goal-driven classes. I believe that this approach fosters not only academic growth but also a lifelong love for learning. 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.

I have just graduated from Warwick University with a first in my History and Politics degree at Warwick Uni and will be continuing my studies with a Master's in History. I also act as a mentor in both subjects at my University. I take Harvard courses in Computer Science (and small bits of maths) to boost my studies. I read way too many books in my free time and I currently also work as a Library Student Partner at my University which has included working on projects for students at both university and school, as well as working on projects specifically designed for neurodivergent students. Although I appear to be very busy, I really enjoy tutoring and put in the extra time not only to make lesson time but also in preparation and post lesson review time to make the most of each lesson

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'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.

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