Jessica M
Calm English tutor
Hi! My name is Jess and I am currently a primary school teacher and have been teaching for 7 years in an Outstanding Primary school. I love teaching and am always looking for new ways to support the students within my classroom.I like to plan my lessons and tutoring sessions around the needs of children, finding creative ways to support different ways of learning rather than pushing on set way through the use of different physical and online resources. I have experience working with a wide range of children including children that have a range of special educational needs. I have a degree in English....

Eleanor F
Engaging, friendly and reliable tutor for English.
Hello, I’m Ellie, a former primary teacher. I have a degree in Early Childhood Studies, Qualified Teacher Status and over 7 years’ experience of classroom-based teaching across all of the primary phases – from early years through to upper key stage 2. If a child has a weakness or a knowledge gap in a certain area, I know the progressive sequence of steps needed to address that weakness, and where the learning fits within the bigger picture. I work with children of all ages, from 3 year olds learning early phonics skills, to children sitting the 11+ in Year 6. I also have a specialism in Maths and F...

Shauna H
When we contacted Shauna, our brief was "we have a 14 year old son who is struggling with English Lit & Language, he is not fully engaged at school and struggles with his processing skills". Quite a challenge but Shauna believed in him from the very beginning.
Shauna had a clear plan and though initially met with slight resistance, her persistence, engagement and communication skills brought the best out of him.
In Year 10 he had a predicted grade of 3 and ended up with comfortable 5's in both.
She always kept us informed of progress, set valuable homework tasks and we will be forever grateful.
We would fully recommend Shauna to anyone looking for a patient and talented tutor for their child. She is an excellent teacher and gets the best out of her pupils.

Ifa M
Ifa has been gloriously positive and encouraging with my daughter who lacks confidence in this subject. She teaches with high expectations and makes the hour’s lesson count. She has communicated well with me and advised on how to build on what is done in lessons. I have high hopes that her input will make an impact not just in English, but in her other written GCSE subjects. A first class teacher.

Anita S
Anita is an excellent tutor with lots of patience. My daughter, currently studying English in France, needed some assistance to be able to sit the GCSE in the UK. Anita structures her lessons well with many examples to enable my daughter to understand more. She gives homework, not too much, and gives feedback both plusses and minuses in a positive and encouraging manner.
Thank you for all your hard work
