Emma R
Dedicated TEFL tutor English Literature tutor
Hello, I am Emma, an extremely friendly tutor always wanting to get the best out of my students. Once I have an idea of why the student is seeking lessons, I plan unique classes using entirely appropriate material and methods. The classes are varied, and students say they are never bored.

Emily C
University of Cambridge graduate English Literature tutor
I am a recent music graduate of the University of Cambridge with a year of experience tutoring music theory, GCSE and A Level music. I approach teaching in a calm, friendly and patient manner; with sessions being organised in whatever structure best suits the student. My priority is always that my pupil understands theories and concepts fully so that they feel they have all the tools to work out difficult questions. This means finding alternative ways of explaining these concepts and multiple methods for solving questions so that you always have your basic understanding and knowledge to fall back...

Hello, my name is Houria and I am a tutor offering tutoring in a range of subjects. I achieved high grades at GCSE and A level, and study a demanding degree, so I am confident in my ability to help spread knowledge of the curriculum but also exam technique.My lessons usually start with some questions to determine where my student is at with a topic. I then teach the content using drawn images, videos or examples depending on the student. Then we move on to guided exam practice, and then some independent practice. At the end of a lesson, I like to ask students for feedback with what they felt went...
