My Subjects: GCSE: English Language, English Literature. My Exam Boards: AQA, Pearson / Edexcel, WJEC, Eduqas, OCR, CCEA. My SEND Experience: EAL, ASD, Dyslexia, GDD, ADD, VI. Preferred Ages: GCSE (Y9-11). With 10 years of experience as a private tutor and qualified Teacher (of English and Humanities) between London, Sarajevo and Berlin, I know how to pinpoint the strengths and needs of my students with efficiency and positivity. My travels and professional experiences outside of teaching make for an interesting and globally-minded approach to learning. I'm a voracious reader and a keen fisher, which means I've got patience for days and enthusiasm for years. I'm a qualified teacher, with PGCE (University of York) and QTS, and hold a First Class degree in Religious Studies from the University of Edinburgh (Master of Arts with Honours). I also have experience as a GCSE Examiner, which helps me cut right to the core skills required to excel in your subject.

Hello! I am a Modern Languages graduate from the University of Exeter, and am available to teach both Spanish and Italian. I have a huge passion for language learning and exploring new cultures, and would love to share this with others. I have lived and worked in both Spain and Italy throughout my academic career, and am finishing my degree at C1 level. Although I am not a native speaker, I definitely understand the challenges that come with language learning , and I hope I can offer students some helpful tutoring to make the process a lot easier, and enjoyable too! I have completed GCSE and A Level qualifications in both Spanish and Italian, as well as university-level assessments, so have an extensive knowledge of what is expected for these exams. Also able to teach at Primary level, as well as more casual beginner/intermediate classes. Happy to tailor lessons to suit your needs, whatever they may be!

Hello! :) I'm currently studying English and Related Literature at the University of York and looking to tutor any English students at GCSE or A Level who need a little bit of extra help. Having recently been through the process myself, I understand the struggle! I'm currently enjoying learning how to surf in my spare time - it's a nice contrast to staying cooped up inside reading. I also love baking and am trying to perfect my apple cake recipe at the moment... I look forward to meeting you :)

I pride myself on my friendly and approachable demeanour, coupled with a naturally bubbly personality. This enables me to effortlessly connect with students, fostering an environment where they feel comfortable and motivated to learn. Building strong relationships with my students is at the heart of my teaching philosophy. I believe that creating a positive rapport not only enhances the learning experience but also encourages open communication and mutual respect. How my Sessions Go: I meticulously plan each tutoring session to ensure an enriching and productive learning experience for my students. Every session kicks off with an engaging starter activity covering a diverse range of topics. This initial assessment allows me to pinpoint each student's strengths and areas for improvement effectively. I believe in the power of visual aids to enhance understanding. That's why I always come prepared with informative presentations tailored to the topic at hand. These presentations serve as valuable learning tools, providing clarity and depth to the subject matter. Throughout the session, I incorporate a mix of interactive activities. Some tasks involve direct engagement with me, facilitating personalised guidance and feedback. Meanwhile, I also provide independent activities that challenge students to apply their knowledge autonomously. These activities are thoughtfully designed to be both stimulating and educational. As a firm believer in the importance of motivation and engagement, I love to conclude sessions with a fun, educational game. These games not only serve as a rewarding break but also help maintain focus and enthusiasm. By integrating elements of play into learning, I ensure that students remain actively engaged and invested in their progress. Through this structured approach, I aim to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore, learn, and excel. I tailor personalised study plans to address your child's individual needs, ensuring they receive the support where they need it most. By creating mini assessments on topics covered, I closely monitor your child's progress and provide detailed reports on their development. Following each session, I promptly send a comprehensive feedback report and supplementary homework within 24 hours. This approach not only reinforces the concepts we've covered but also boosts your child's confidence and knowledge. I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my role as a tutor, with a strong foundation in both academic and industry qualifications: - Level 2 Apprenticeship in Children and Young People's Workforce: Completed following my GCSEs, this apprenticeship provided me with invaluable insights into child development and effective teaching strategies. - Primary Teaching Assistant Experience: Over the past four years, I've honed my skills as a Primary Teaching Assistant, gaining extensive knowledge of the English and Maths curriculum. This hands-on experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of students' learning needs and effective classroom management techniques. - Degree in Digital Marketing: Alongside my work as a Primary Teaching Assistant, I pursued a degree in Digital Marketing, further enhancing my communication and organizational skills. - Tutoring Experience with GoStudent: In April 2022, I joined GoStudent, a leading global ed-tech company, where I've been tutoring Key Stage 2 students in English and Maths. This experience has allowed me to refine my teaching methods and adapt to the unique needs of each student. Additionally, I have converted 100 trials since I have been with the platform. - Specialisation in 11+ Exam Preparation: In the past year, I've had the privilege of supporting students in preparation for their 11+ exams, witnessing their growth and success first-hand. I'm adept at teaching Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, particularly for exams such as the GL Assessments.
