Cain J
A First-Class Writing Tutor
I have a prevailing focus on written communication, clarity of grammar and deployment of good vocabulary. Above all I want pupils to be able to articulate what they think. Lessons are typically 40 minutes, maximizing attention and retention. We will focus on set texts, with small passages of required reading where useful. All pupils will begin with a session designed to assess their current level and how we can expect to meet their goals in the subject.I have taught in classrooms and privately tutored for 5 years, with pupils as young as 9 and as old as 29. I am experienced teaching bottom band/set...

Molly P
A Level Writing GCSE
My name is Molly, and I currently teach KS3, GCSE and A Level in English.I believe that every child deserves education and opportunity, no matter where you are from in the UK, or worldwide. I took two years out of education after I completed my A-Levels. I moved to New Zealand when I was 18 for a year, later traveling through South-East Asia where I fell in love with travel, whilst motivating me to teach internationally.I believe that everyone learns differently, so it will take time to understand your needs, strengths, and weaknesses. If you prefer interactive learning, we can plan imaginative...

I am an experienced teacher of English, having worked for a number of years in primary, secondary and summer schools.I managed the EAL (English as an Additional Language) Department at Hartsdown Academy, in Margate, between 2007 and 2018 and in that time developed, coordinated and delivered a number of language programmes for students from overseas.

Two of the most effective language programmes we implemented were ‘My New School’ for new...

Rachael O
Excellent Writing tutor
Do you feel that your child could be achieving so much more? Are you worried about the effect that poor exam performance is having on your child? 100% exams have changed the way that students study English. Long gone are the days of coursework and controlled assessment; students now need to be able to recall information and quotations; analyse and evaluate in detail; describe effectively; write to persuade and argue. The list goes on. It is often a bewildering and stressful time for students, but also parents. What parent wouldn`t worry about their child`s exam results? I understand that it can...

Hannah C
Supportive Writing tutor
I love teaching and supporting children to become confident in who they are. I aim to ensure that every child feels seen and heard - that’s what I needed at school and I strive to be that person for others. My teachers had a huge influence on who I am as a person and how I have approached challenges in life. I enjoy being that teacher for others and I hope that every child that I teach becomes confident in their own abilities and themselves as people. I’m a qualified and experienced Primary Teacher, currently teaching in Buckinghamshire, where I have worked for the last eight years. Having spe...

Ifa M
Life changing experience!
I would like to express my appreciation for Ifa’s exceptional teaching skills in helping my son learn English. Ifa brings a wonderful combination of fun, knowledge, and experience to every lesson, making the learning process both enjoyable and highly effective. She engages with my son attentively throughout the entire session, ensuring that he remains focused and motivated without even realising how much he’s learning.
What truly stands out is Ifa’s ability to explain complex concepts in a way that my son immediately grasps. No other teacher has been able to reach him as clearly as Ifa has, and I was genuinely impressed by how quickly he picked up many ideas he had previously struggled with.
Not only has my son made tremendous progress, but I’ve also learned from Ifa. She has shown me the best ways to support my son’s learning journey, tailored specifically to his individual needs. Her guidance has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the positive impact she’s had on both of us.
Thank you, Ifa!
