Hannah M
Experienced English Teacher
I provide practical, visual, engaging lessons using real-life contexts with lots of opportunities to reason, problem-solve, apply knowledge and, ultimately, gain deep understanding.

To see exceptional progress, I expect students to practise skills learnt in my lessons outside of time spent with me. This develops their understanding and allows them to more quickly and confidently access new topics in future lessons.I have taught,...

Sophie C
Experienced English English literature and language tutor.

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...
