Aisnavy K

Engaging English Literature Tutor!

Hey! I’m currently an optometry student at the University of Plymouth and also a tutor on the side! I’ve been tutoring core subjects such as English, Maths and Science for 5 years and a little while shorter for additional subjects such as geography - both in person and online for students ageing from 6-18. I enjoy teaching students as I love the fact that they learn something new everytime and leave the classroom with increased knowledge of something they may have really struggled with beforehand. I like to run my lessons by first going over the content that you struggle on and then going through top...

Eleanor C

Eleanor is currently tutoring my daughter for GCSE English Literature. I have to say that finding Eleanor to help my daughter was the best decision I could have made. Eleanor's passion for the subject has inspired and ignited a love of English Literature in my daughter who has previously been a 'reluctant reader.' Eleanor is thorough, knowledgeable and passionate about this subject. I could not recommend her more!

Matthew B

Highly recommend this tutor, as for the time I've been working with Matthew, I have seen significant improvements in my confidence and understanding of English literature. He is a great communicator and tailors the sessions to exactly what I need to progress further- if its its essay writing or reviewing exam techniques. The lessons are very engaging and enjoyable and I feel much more prepared for exams.

Jemmilla is a great tutor who has helped me excel my A-level English Literature coursework to the best possible level. She is well prepared for lessons having taken time before hand to read any unfamiliar literature and review and edit my drafts, making our tutor session time extremely productive. Her guidance has realIy boosted my confidence and overal motivation for the subject. I would highly recommend Jemmila to anyone looking to seek help in improving their results and overall grade :)

Hetty F

Hetty has been amazing. Before I started working with her, I didn’t feel very confident in my English Literature, but she’s really helped me turn things around. Her lessons are fun, and she pushes me to do my best, while also giving me homework that’s tailored to my weaknesses. She makes sure to go through everything I struggle with and helps me build on those areas. Over time, I’ve developed new skills, and my grades have improved a lot. I’ve even received some great uni offers! On top of that, Hetty helped me with my UCAS application, which was such a big help. She’s super supportive and genuinely cares about your progress. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
