Emma R
Dedicated TEFL tutor English tutor
Hello, I am Emma, an extremely friendly tutor always wanting to get the best out of my students. Once I have an idea of why the student is seeking lessons, I plan unique classes using entirely appropriate material and methods. The classes are varied, and students say they are never bored. I am very patient and carefully explain complicated issues. Most students quickly report that their friends and colleagues find them easier to understand after just a few classes.Using plenty of explanatory material and exercises, both in class and for homework, learners quickly grasp tricky concepts.

University of Cambridge graduate English tutor
I am a recent music graduate of the University of Cambridge with a year of experience tutoring music theory, GCSE and A Level music. I approach teaching in a calm, friendly and patient manner; with sessions being organised in whatever structure best suits the student. My priority is always that my pupil understands theories and concepts fully so that they feel they have all the tools to work out difficult questions. This means finding alternative ways of explaining these concepts and multiple methods for solving questions so that you always have your basic understanding and knowledge to fall back...

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...
