Support Your Child's Success with Online English Tutors in Ballymena
We know how much you want your child to succeed, and in Ballymena, the path to schools like Ballymena Academy or St Louis Grammar School can feel competitive. It's natural to worry if your child's English comprehension and literacy skills are strong enough for the Transfer Test, and what that means for their future GCSEs and university options.

Friendly English tutor
Hi! I'm Kirsty, a published professional German-English and Portuguese-English translator. I have a great enthusiasm for all things Languages and Academia and I hope that my enthusiasm will rub off on you or your child. I have experience teaching English as a Second Language for six months, as well as working with autistic kids and teaching them about sailing through my partner's charity Autism on the Water, which I have been a part of for over a year now.

Sophie S
Sophie is wonderful! I've progressed from achieving a 6 in literature, and being quite stressed about it, to a 9 and really enjoying the subject. I look forward to our lessons, and she's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about english, as well as knowing how to appeal to examiners. She's also especially good at working to your level, and tailoring your lessons to your needs.

Johanna P
Johanna has been tutoring my son in English for the Scottish National 5 exam preparation since February, and her support has been excellent. She is patient, engaging, and creates a very positive learning environment that my son genuinely enjoys. She supports him in understanding deeper meanings, analysing texts, and responding clearly and confidently in writing. As a result, his interest in English has grown significantly, along with his confidence in his ability to understand complex literature and poetry. His test results have improved substantially since he started working with her. Johanna is reliable, professional, and truly dedicated to her students. I would highly recommend her.
