Ben H
Engaging English tutor
I firmly believe that teaching is a two-way process. Whether I'm in a classroom or online, I will create a dialogue so the pupils/tutees feel involved in the process and are able to question, inquire and verbalise what we are learning. Very few people learn by being told something once, so my tutoring sessions are generally about discovery, mastery and learning side by side to answer the big questions along with my years of expertise providing the content.I have worked in education for 12 years in all sorts of settings, with a huge range of pupils. My track record is impressive and I firmly believe...

Cain J
A First-Class English Tutor
I have a prevailing focus on written communication, clarity of grammar and deployment of good vocabulary. Above all I want pupils to be able to articulate what they think. Lessons are typically 40 minutes, maximizing attention and retention. We will focus on set texts, with small passages of required reading where useful. All pupils will begin with a session designed to assess their current level and how we can expect to meet their goals in the subject.I have taught in classrooms and privately tutored for 5 years, with pupils as young as 9 and as old as 29. I am experienced teaching bottom band/set...

Matty H
Dynamic and Engaging English Tutor with 5 years experience
Hi! I'm Matty,I am a recent graduate from the University of Nottingham. I have over 300 hours of tutoring experience from the last 5 years, both online and in person.I have only recently joined Tutorful! I believe the most important aspect of tutoring is reconnecting the student with the subject. I often find students can be a little uninspired by maths/english, so I try my best to show them a different side to what they might usually experience at school, with more engaging and fun lessons.I specialise in tutoring maths, and I am able to teach it at primary and secondary level. Most of my students...

Shweta S
Proficient, skilled & empathetic English tutor and coach
I am a highly trained and experienced specialist teacher for dyslexia and ADHD. I have also spent many years tutoring students for English language and literature up to degree level. My understanding of and competence with English is from ground level fundamentals at the primary level all the way up to complex writing structures and analysis with evaluation. I have supported students with basic orthography and sentence formation with comfort and ease while helping other students create essay that balance structure, form, diction, language, imagery and other key literary devices for A-levels.Where...

Ian B
Inspirational English Tutor
I have taught in schools, colleges and as a private tutor for twenty five years. Whether one-to-one or in a class situation I have developed a teaching style that centres on the individual. Essential to my success over the years has been my ability to listen to a student, analyse their needs, then put in place a scheme of work that will accomplish set targets. I teach Social Science (Psychology and Sociology) Philosophy and English. My focus in a lesson plan can include work on elucidation of theories, ideas or methods, but also I cover work on writing skills and essay planning as often it is not...
