Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Paul M
Excellent English tutor
Maths is pure hell for some. It was for me as a young boy and I thought that because I didn't get the answers right it meant that I was no good.I didn't understand numbers, the vocabulary used for the abstract nature of maths and it left me feeling bereft of confidence. I am glad nowadays maths is taught in a more simpler fashion and I am proof that if maths is accessible in the right way, is fun and more importantly the fear factor is removed then anyone can prosper. That is how I like to approach maths and I feel that it is a fantastic way to enjoy, and dare I say it... love the subject.I am...

Phil H
Excellent English tutor
I run online English tuition, designed to be engaging and interactive through short comprehension tasks for technical accuracy, well planned questioning to aid your analytical ability and live modelling and editing of answers to help essay writing skills. By following a model of “I do” (demonstrating as the tutor), “we do” (working together to create a best answer), “you do” (putting into practise the skill you have learned), the session content is aimed at allowing you to learn by doing and boost your progress and confidence. With over 10 years of experience, I have taught hundreds of students...
