Isabel T
Energetic English tutor
I have worked in education most of my career, firstly as a Primary teacher from 1986 and later as TEFL teacher from 2009.Since 2017 I also started to tutor 11+ to yr4 and yr5 children as there was quite a demand at the time. The students I taught stayed with me as their regular tutor up to the time they sat the test. I am pleased to state that all my students to date have secured a place at a Grammar School in Torbay. I specialise in English and Maths, with a passion for helping children to engage and progress in the skills required for the Entrance exams. I have an abundance of past test papers...

Friendly, efficient and experienced English tutor
Hi, My name is Blair. I am a qualified primary school teacher with a background in engineering. I completed my teacher training in 2024 with Devon Primary SCITT. I previously worked as an engineer in the oil and gas industry, so am fortunate enough to have real world experience of applying the skills that I learned during school and university. In my time working as a teaching assistant, and then as a trainee teacher I have had experience of tutoring children for Year 6 SATS exams. I have also had experience of working with children with additional needs, working one to one and in small groups...

Craig T
KS2 11+ 13+ SATS & KS3 English & Maths English
I am a highly experienced teacher, having taught internationally and in a wide range of school types . I am a positive, enthusiastic support, understanding learning styles and skilled at bringing out the best in children of all abilities. Very often, the most progress is made by helping a child engage and begin to enjoy their learning once again. Success is a key motivator at all levels and learning through success the primary goal. Finding the point where a pupil begins to feel in control of his/her learning is a shared task between pupil and tutor (along with their parents and carers) The increasing...

Libby M
Qualified English teacher
I am a highly experienced English A Level and GCSE teacher, tutor and examiner. My approach is very kind, thoughtful and patient. I believe one-to-one learning is a fantastic way for a student to see quick results, and I regularly see improved confidence levels after only a few lessons with me. Another benefit is, of course, that all lessons can be tailored specifically to each student’s need, and I pride myself on my ability to react and adapt quickly. I am very passionate about my subject and I am always excited to share this with my students. The most exciting part about studying English is t...

Sophie C
Experienced English English literature and language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...
