About Me

I am a bubbly, encouraging individual with great knowledge and passion for my subjects.
I will expertly tailor each session to each individual's personal needs, interests and level of understanding.

Education

7 A*, 2 As and a B at GCSE
Currently working towards A Levels in history, politics and English at James Allen's Girls' School
Taken a course in sociology and psychology and philosophy of the mind

Experience / Qualifications

My passion for learning has led me to take Pre-U courses in English and history, instead of the ordinary A Level syllabus. This means that my courses include much more independent study, including an extended personal dissertation in each on a subject of my choice. It greatly improved my research, time management and referencing skills. As the Politics Prefect at James Allen's Girls' School, I work closely with the politics department to edit and update the syllabus for politics and citizenship lessons in years 7-9 and promote taking the subject at A Level. Furthermore, as the mental health first aid leader, I teach the younger students a set course and assess their abilities to become an official first aider. I use my excellent time-management skills to organise the lessons, presenting skills to teach to content and administration skills to update the school board with the progress of the project. As a Holocaust Memorial Ambassador, I organise assemblies and resources within school to educate younger students, and coordinated with various individuals within the trust to put on an evening fund-raiser including a survivor testimony.

May and June 2026: In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).

As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

I have supported dissertation and thesis students from 2005, as well as granting informal help while I was a postgraduate student of Linguistics at UCL (this includes Institute of Education, 2000-2005). In essence, I can offer help because I have gone through this requirement myself (Aix-en-Provence for French BA, Berlin for Linguistics). Former students have requested this support for: Italian, French, Spanish and Linguistics & Phonetics.

Outcomes: BA MFL students have progressed to an MA after their final year of study, or attained Firsts at Cambridge (and proceeded to a career in the City).

As summers are now a challenge, and the dissertations need to be in by September (at least in England) I can help you with both your writing, research and oral exam. The year abroad really comes to an end in August, the worst time to be thinking about writing and research. I cannot change the weather but can make your path to a good degree smoother.

Tutoring in primary level English and maths from a qualified primary teacher.

I provide bespoke sessions that best meet the needs of the student. I can assess and identify areas that need practice and provide materials for sessions. Additionally, I provide support with homework.

Having taught in Year 6, I have experience with SATs preparation.

Happy to either provide tutoring in person or via webcam.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

I can help students develop English language skills through engaging creative writing exercises and activities.
My classes are more than grammar and vocabulary - we discover the art of storytelling and self-expression.
If you are a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an advanced learner aiming to take your language proficiency to the next level, I will help you find your unique voice in English.

I have always helped people translating things and helping out people with things they need in english or spanish, became passionate about teaching both, spanish is my first language as i’m from colombia and i love teaching english and making it easy for people to learn it too

I used to be a German language Teacher in a secondary school, after school teaching I had private students.
I have been teaching German and English as Foreign Language privately for a couple of years.
I happily teach individuals and small groups from the beginning or just to refresh your existing language skills.
Any level is welcome.
Lessons can be held at your home or my home or even online.
The entire lesson is tailormade to your language level, expectations and in order to make a progress.

GCSE

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
UNIVERSITY LEVEL DEGREES
I am able to help across all platforms, on English and physical education.

I am a masters student Pursuing Msc International Health Policy Health Economics studying at LSE and have completed my Bachelors in Economics Honors with an overall cgpa of approx. 8.5 which makes me eligible to provide classes for economics. I completed my high school in 2021 with a cgpa of 9.1 and am passionate about studies and value co curriculars as well. I scored an 8 band in IELTS in my first try as a proof of my fluency in the English language.

Private tuition in English Language and Literature. For those students preparing for exams I like to take a syllabus-based approach while also allowing time to further explore any specific areas of personal interest the student may have. If a student is not working towards exams but requires private tuition, my aim is to approach the English subject enthusiastically and broadly, highlighting the vast range of approaches that students can take towards discovering new topics, practising new learning techniques and exploring their own personal interests within the subject in the most educationally enriching way possible.
If a student is having difficulties at school I believe I have the skills and personable approach to transform their learning into discovery and demonstrate this process to be appealing and exciting. Learning should never seem like an obstacle. Instead it should be seen as something that enlightens a student to their own potential.

I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad.

I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.

Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.

I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.

I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Hi, I'm an English tutor helping students of all backgrounds build confidence and clarity in their reading, writing, and speaking — whether you're preparing for exams or learning English as a second language.

I offer online lessons tailored to your level, goals, and learning style. I work with:

Each session is practical, supportive, and focused on real progress. Whether you’re aiming for exam success or everyday fluency, I’m here to help you make English your strength.

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.
