Hi, my name is Antonia and I am a qualified primary school teacher. I worked with children across the globe before completing my PGCE in 2023 and this has helped me build up an adaptable teaching style which I love to get creative with.

Charlotte R
Giving English tuition that je ne sais quoi
For over 8 years, I have worked with, and currently work with students of a wide range of ages, levels, and abilities, to achieve their goals. I have excellent experience with AQA, Edexcel, OCR/CIE & Eduqas exam boards. 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...

We are so pleased we selected Robyn as our Sons English tutor; she really helped him enormously, and definitely made up the shortfall in his knowledge, and his general understanding and approach to the subject. Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Robyn.

Sophia Serena J
Sophia has been a brilliant help for my son, Lucas, as he prepared for his English Lit GCSE. Not only did she help improve his grades, but she also really boosted his confidence and helped him believe in his own ability. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her students and wants them to do their best.
She was exceptionally flexible with scheduling lessons, which made things so much easier for us, and she went above and beyond outside of the sessions too – marking exam question responses and giving really useful feedback. She tailored the lessons to exactly what Lucas needed, thoughtfully adapting each session to focus on the areas he most needed help with. Her lessons were productive but also enjoyable, which made a huge difference in keeping him motivated.
I honestly can’t recommend Sophia enough. Her dedication, adaptability, and warm, encouraging approach make her an outstanding tutor. She clearly knows how to get the best out of her students and we are very grateful for the difference she has made. Thank you Sophia!

Nicholas Y
I have found Nicholas’ lessons very helpful, as he has always explained concepts to me in a very thorough but clear way. He is very good at explaining examples that we go through together, and his lessons are very much interactive, but also engaging, due to his good sense of humour. I feel a lot more confident after his lessons and look forward to continuing them.
