Libby M
Qualified English Literature teacher
I am a highly experienced English A Level and GCSE teacher, tutor and examiner. My approach is very kind, thoughtful and patient. I believe one-to-one learning is a fantastic way for a student to see quick results, and I regularly see improved confidence levels after only a few lessons with me. Another benefit is, of course, that all lessons can be tailored specifically to each student’s need, and I pride myself on my ability to react and adapt quickly.

Houria Zohra A
Patient and Adaptable English Literature tutor
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...
