As someone who appreciates both traditional and innovative pedagogical methods, I make a conscious effort to understand effective learning styles for my students that combine print and digital materials. Furthermore, as someone who develops games as a hobby, I am constantly discovering new and engaging ways for students to learn through gamification. I view standardised […]

It is my firm belief that a teaching relationship is a partnership between tutor and student. If either end of the partnership is disengaged, it is futile to expect meaningful progress. My aim with any student is to quickly establish a working relationship, understand what they want to achieve from the process, and set reasonable […]

As entrance to top universities, sixth forms and schools has become increasingly competitive, the need to stand out has become crucial. As such, my approach to tutoring is individualized, client focused and ensures my students achieve at the highest level. I work carefully to identify the needs of my tutees and devise appropriate work schedules […]

From the outset I like to establish the stated goals students have to ensure we are working towards the same objective so we can be both be satisified with the results in the end. My focus when it comes to tutoring is clear – I tend to ensure my students get enough exam practice and […]

Hands-on, creative, and down to earth. I tailor my classes based on each students’ individual needs, and always strive to create a supportive environment which encourages learning. Laughter is—importantly—a common feature throughout all my classes.

My aim is always to make English – at whatever level – easy, understandable and fun. I break all topics down into readily digestible sections so that solid knowledge and skills are developed. I take a similar approach to teaching exam technique and aim to give every student confidence and clarity in tackling exam questions […]

I’m a creative, sensitive tutor and I believe that each tutee needs an individual approach, tailored to their strengths and weaknesses, and to their personality. My approach is to assess a student’s level, and then to work by both increasing their confidence in areas they feel strong in, and by breaking down areas they find […]

I believe that with the right mindset and the right teaching, everyone can fulfil their potential. There’s no such thing as being ‘bad’ at English: it’s a skill like any other – it takes time to learn, and it requires practice, but you’ll get there in the end! Confidence and motivation are essential for success, […]

I aim to make myself redundant. That may sound odd, but I believe the end goal of one-to-one tuition should be that the student is confident and independent enough to mean that the tutor is no longer necessary. And this is not because we have simply worked through an area of difficulty together, or solved […]
