Charlotte C
Giving English tuition that je ne sais quoi
For over 5 years, I have worked with, and currently work with students of a wide range of ages, levels, and abilities, to achieve their goals. From my own experience I think it is important to follow the tutee's needs, and work on those first. I always try to follow the student's lead and tailor sessions as much as possible. For all students I will always try to provide a balanced well-rounded session with a main theme or objective for the session.However, I do like to let the lesson flow and follow your learning speed and style. It's always great if something crops up organically particularly...

William R
Effective English tutor
As a teacher with almost twenty years of classroom experience, I am well placed to assist you in fulfilling your potential. I taught, for extensive periods, in all areas of the primary sector before moving into secondary education and management. At each stage, I was places in key areas of the school to aid transition, including EYFS to KS1; KS1 to KS2; KS2 to KS3 and from A-level to University - particularly looking at entrance to Russell Group and Oxbridge. For me, the importance of teaching is to ensure that the teacher is responsive to the needs of the pupil; you cannot fit square pegs into...

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...
