Roseanna F
Oxford University graduate, English Tutoring for 10 years
I have a real passion for teaching and passing down the knowledge and insight that has been afforded to me by the excellent teachers I have encountered as a student.
This is my twelfth year working as a private tutor; I have tutored over 200 students in the following subjects: English Literature; English Language; Creative Writing; Philosophy; History; Theatre Studies; Psychology. On a number of occasions I have also helped students who struggle to structure their work in other subjects, such as Politics and make-up design.
I have taught students of all ages and have always had good results;...

As a qualified English Teacher for the last 6 years, I have ample experience in planning and delivering high-quality lessons as well as tailoring homework and assessments that promote real progress in my students.

Stephen M
Effective English tutor
I am friendly, approachable and experience tutor in Literature, Languages and Humanities. I started tutoring soon after finishing my Joint Honours degree in English and French at Magdalen College, Oxford, but fortunately I found that my education had only just started! Therefore, I have spent over a decade now working with students - both in state and private education - in French, English Literature, Classics and History of Art. Tutoring normally from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5, specialising in GCSEs and A levels, I would say that my lessons are usually planned collaboratively. I take the student’s l...

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
