GCSE/iGCSE Maths - UK Expert - Former Classroom Teacher - 12 years' experience in education - SEN and ASD specialist - Oxford/St Andrews

57.36 C$ /h

- Berlin based educator with over 12 years' of experience working as a maths tutor and as a classroom teacher.
- I specialise in teaching GCSE Maths as well as GCSE English Literature.
- Experience with the IB and with UK school entrance exams.
- Experience helping students to transition to the UK system.

Particular experience working with young people whose neurodiversity impacts on their learning.
I bring a comprehensive understanding of the syllabus requirements, as well as a sensitivity to the needs of students of varying abilities and learning styles.

I can offer support alongside the student's schooling, or can design a full homeschooling course. Classes can be online, in person or hybrid.

I have a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford and an MFA in Creative Writing from St Andrews. Before becoming a tutor and teacher I worked as a government economics advisor, specialising in Education Policy.

I have taught at Brookways School, Sutton; The Sultan's School, Muscat; and worked as supply staff at various schools across London.

Oustide of teaching, I am a poet, theatre maker, facilitator and play therapist. This helps me to keep lessons engaging and fun. My teaching begins with a good relationship with the student. I also offer classes in drama and creative writing, to adults as well as young people.

Selected Case Studies:

O (16) and A (14) 2021-2022 (Maths and English GCSE)

I home schooled O for one academic year, working on English and Maths GCSE. O has ASD and needed to work with a tutor with experience adapting to his particular learning needs. I worked with O for 12 hours each week. The role required adaptability to the family's schedules and O's varying ability to engage with the work.

I now work with O's sister A on maths. A was 14 when we worked together and I was able to help her to plug gaps in her maths knowledge.

Zoe (15-16) 2021-2023 (English GCSE)

"Sean has been tutoring my daughter for 1.5 years. He engaged well with Zoe who found him inspiring and fun to work with. Sean is thoughtful and diligent, he understood the challenges she is facing with creative writing and constructed the lessons to suit her needs. He was also willing to change the content of a class and adapt to her requests at times that she was struggling to follow up.

We feel very lucky to have had Sean supporting Zoe for her GCSE creative writing and would certainly recommend him to other families." (Athina, mother)

Bert (15-16) 2021-2022 (Maths and English GCSE)

"I would not hesitate to recommend Sean, who tutored my son Bert throughout his GCSEs to success.

Bert, who is dyslexic also struggles with ADHD, he's not a natural student and struggles to engage.

Sean showed outstanding compassion, rigour and tenacity around getting Bert on task, giving him context of the syllabus and supporting his learning.

Sean is kind, thoughtful and holds a firm bar on what is expected/needed from his students. For Bert this worked super well, fostering a relationship of mutual respect.

We enjoyed to have Sean stay with us during various holidays and he was flexible in his plans to accommodate different needs and locations.

Sean is a great tutor and a really lovely guy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."
(Rachel, mother)

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hi! I'm a professional musician based in Vienna, with experience performing on international cruise ships.

I have a native-level command of Russian and speak English fluently.

I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversation — no stiff textbooks, no pressure,
just genuine communication in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Whether you're an absolute beginner taking your very first steps, a professional looking to sharpen your target language, or a teenager wanting to sound more natural — I tailor every lesson to you.

Why learn Russian?
Russian language is one the most spoken languages in the world - and one of the most underrated to learn.
It covers over 250 million people across Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and many other countries.
It opens the door to one of the richest literary and artistic traditions in human history.
It helps people connect, whether it's a professional or personal realm.

Why learn Russian with me?

My sessions are flexible, fun, and always focused on building your confidence.
Living between cultures and languages my whole life has taught me how daunting — and how rewarding — learning a new language can be. I get it, and I'm here to make the journey easier.
