Shalini J.

I am a dedicated English tutor with a first-class degree in Broadcast Journalism, where I studied law, politics, ethics, television and radio production, article writing - and much more! I have years of experience in radio presenting, and I'm also the only host from the UK on the Gen-Z Chronicles podcast, created by OCAD University in Canada. Here, we explore the struggles of growing up across different cultures and the various academic experiences of students across England, Mexico, Spain, Canada and India. I am an avid English fan. I love reading and often spend much time writing my poetry. I am dedicated to encouraging my students to develop a true passion for the beauty of English Literature and Language! Graduated in the Summer of 2024 with a first-class degree in Broadcast Journalism. AAB in A-Level, studying Psychology (A), History (B) and English Literature and Langage (A) GCSE grades range from 5-8, with strong grades in the core subjects.

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)! In 2021, I graduated from the English Master's programme at the University of Liverpool with a strong Distinction and a highly commended dissertation. I had also previously completed a BA at UoL, and received As and A*s in my English Literature A-Level and GCSEs. My Master's degree specialised in contemporary and modern literature, but I love Victorian, Renaissance and classic lit too! I'm a bit of a nerd for literary theory and poetry in particular (my MA dissertation even drew on my experience of teaching poetry to young people).

I like to read, listen to music, code and make new friends. I am fluent in English, Igbo, Hausa, and a little Korean I am looking to tutor students who need support in mathematics (low level up to GCSE) and Physics (up to GCSE level). Let's make it work together!

Experience with special needs: ADHD, Autism, Reading difficulties, and Exam anxiety. Preferred student age group: Reception to Year 5 Primary School: Reception Year - Year 5 English Language, ESL (English Second Language), and Mathematics. Experience with: 11+ / English reception year - year 5/ Mathematics Gaining experience with every possible opportunity is one of my strongest attributes. I am eager to learn and I am an asset to any team. Furthermore, I possess excellent communication and teaching skills backed by a passion for success with a positive outlook in life and one can always expect the very best of me. I am well-liked by the learners and teachers. I am an energetic and passionate educator who aims to make learning fun and engaging. I believe that learning should be learner-centered and holistic. Every learner should know they belong by building personal connections and a supportive learning environment, starting on the first day. I like to come up with exciting ways to keep my learners engaged with the curriculum. Online teachers make every interaction a positive experience, even from a distance.
