As a tutor, I am dedicated to establishing a learning environment in which a student can feel relaxed, take enjoyment from study, and, perhaps most importantly, grow in confidence, both personally and academically. I strive to turn learning into an immensely positive experience, aiming to locate academic areas in which a student might be struggling, […]

I believe that the most important virtue in a tutor is the ability to empathise with a student’s cognitive position. When teaching I guide a student through the mental steps needed to accomplish the goal of the lesson. I typically spend much of a lesson in dialogue with the student. I break this up with […]

At GCSE and above, I help to link up all the disparate bits of information floating around in the minds of students, so as to structure persuasive essays and give rigour and cohesion to intellectual thought. My approach is to balance content with strategy – making students feel calm and in control, confident of their own […]

“Classes should be fun and engaging. I enjoy using a variety of methods to coach students to enable them to achieve their academic potential.”

I believe in a tailor-made approach to tutoring, analyzing each student’s individual needs and finding the best strategies and solutions for them. I create an environment that is fun and supportive but also encourages the student to achieve their full individual potential. Finally, I have a genuine passion and love for my subjects and I […]

My tutor sessions revolve around the student’s needs and requirements from the outset, by finding out what the student feels they most need to cover during that session. I encourage the student to do the majority of talking, and create an atmosphere in which they feel comfortable asking questions at any point. More often than […]

As an experienced classroom teacher, having taught at South Hampstead High School for three years, I have quickly established myself as an enthusiastic, approachable and highly successful tutor in London, helping students gain places at their preferred institutions from 7+ to University level. I specialise in German, Italian and French as well as 11+.  With […]

One of the main reasons I decided to join private tutoring is I find the experience of teaching very rewarding. As a student who received some tutoring in the past, I realise the importance of the tutor’s approach as well as the student’s attitude. My aim is to make sure my student has no queries […]

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 […]

My teaching philosophy is grounded in self-reflection, creativity and self-efficacy. I believe that as a tutor my role is to help students explore their place in the world, embrace diversity and encourage critical and independent thinking. I view learning as a process that should include personal as well as intellectual growth. Not only do I […]

My aim is to engender confidence in my students in their abilities by specifically addressing any problems or issues they have with their subjects from the very outset. Tackling these issues earlier on often means children are able to progress through their studies confidently and comfortably. I am extremely passionate about tutoring and thus focus […]

Out of all of my years of tutoring students, there’s one thing I can say for sure – no two students are the same. Within the first few sessions with my pupil, I aim to quickly assess skill and confidence levels and individual learning styles and to plan future lessons accordingly. Above all, I will […]

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 like to engage students with an interactive tutoring style. I make my lessons a two-way experience: one where students feel they are not engaged in a prolonged, tiresome lecture but rather, a genuine back-and-forth. Importantly, I believe that lessons should be suited to the specific individual. Different people benefit from different teaching methods. Some […]

Having worked in primary education for more than 15 years now, I have witnessed first-hand the number of different ways in which children learn. I have a strong interest in different learning styles and how to adapt my teaching to suit each student’s particular style. I always establish a very strong relationship with my students. […]
