I have a MSc in Forensic Psychology graded 1st class honours. I also have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Counselling. I have one years experience tutoring English at a secondary school. Particularly with individuals who find it challenging to learn in the typically mainstream approach. I also have three years experience working in clinical and forensic settings across multiple roles; positive behaviour support practitioner, assistant psychologist and behaviour consultant. Which along with my education has provided me with essential skills and knowledge regarding key areas of psychology. I have also understand a PBS UK course which supports the governments motion to add this topic into the undergraduates psychology degree. It looks at behaviour for an applied behaviour analyst view. I have also understand a cognitive behaviour therapies training course which is essential and the main therapy used in talk therapy. Through my experience in multiple settings I have access to resources that are useful for my teaching styles. For example interactive games that enrich understanding for kinaesthetic learner. I am able to create and use auditory videos for auditory learners etc.

Teaching Experience Maxim has tutored since graduating from Oxford in 2019. He has delivered over 1000 hours of tutoring, a testament to his commitment and dedication. In 2022, one of Maxim's students scored an A* in A-Level Politics, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. His students regularly gain top grades in A-levels and coursework. In 2021, both long-term Politics students got their desired grades and went to their dream universities. Maxim has experience across the Humanities, including various A-Level Politics syllabi and exam boards. The Oxbridge tutorial system (going through essays forensically and discussing them in depth) is central to Maxim's tutoring. These were, in his own words, "the best years of my life, with a learning experience I'm keen to share." Testimonials “The amount of history and your ability to create a timeline in order to help me learn the syllabus, although (it) may seem like common sense, makes the course much easier to understand thanks to you.” Andreas (A-Level Politics student) “Maxim tutored our son regularly throughout his A level Politics course. He was awarded an A* in his exam. Maxim has extensive background knowledge about the subject, exam technique and offers patience and persistence. Our son said he misses the sessions now the exams are over, which is a real endorsement. I would thoroughly recommend Maxim.” Jane (parent of former Politics student) Bio Maxim is a Masters student in London, studying Broadcast Journalism. Before that, he spent two years working exclusively as a freelance History and Politics tutor. He spent three years at Trinity College, Oxford reading History and Politics. At Oxford, Maxim focused on British and international politics, achieving high marks in International Relations and US Politics. While a student, Maxim also appeared on University Challenge and was twice an elected member of the Oxford Union's governing body. Maxim got three A grades at A-Level, notching up 100% in UK Politics with additional success in US Politics. Maxim received offers from LSE and Warwick along with Oxford.

Patient, encouraging and creative English tutor with a professional background in Theatre and Education. Three years + experience tutoring English Language/Literature from KS2 to A Level, both in person and online. Prior to this, I worked in primary, secondary and SEN schools as a teaching assistant, providing one to one support, often with students who struggled academically. Whatever the needs of the student, I have picked up a keen sense of the flexibility, attunement and consistency needed in order to help my learners progress. As well as a deep familiarity with the UK Curriculum, I have a proven track record of helping my students supersede their exam expectations at 11+, GCSE and A Level. Aside from their academic expectations, I also endeavour to help learners discover their voice and realise their imaginative potential through creative writing and deep engagement with text. My work as a professional playwright supports this inborn passion and I have often worked on projects where children and young people are at the forefront. Being so exposed to playwriting has fostered a natural rigour, poetic expression and analytic clarity to my teaching of text. I enjoy reading, writing, yoga, listening to music, Arsenal F.C. being with loved ones and being in creative flow!

Hi I'm Emily and I've tutored English language and literature for just over 3 years now, as well as Religious Studies and Philosophy. These subjects have always been a passion of mine and I love teaching others, helping them to understand and appreciate different texts, books, and theories. I also help with personal statements and love to help students through the university application process as I know how daunting it can be. Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes to have a look! I gained A levels in English language, Textiles, and Philosophy and Ethics before studying at the University of Leeds and graduated in 2020 with a 2.1 BA and industrial year in fashion design (bit of a change I know!). When the pandemic hit I had to rethink things and found myself wanting to help people instead, which inevitably turned into tutoring, as well as working as a community carer with children and adults with SEN. I am experienced in a range of needs and can accommodate accordingly. Tutoring English, RE and Philosophy for the past 3 years has been a dream come true. I've worked with so many lovely students and really felt like I've changed their outlook on the subjects. I love seeing their confidence soar and their faces light up when something suddenly clicks. I like to keep my lessons fun and engaging and make you feel like this is not just extra work because it can be fun trust me! No matter your struggles, I'd love to see where I can help.

*Prospective students/parents - if you could text me on 07845817534 to arrange a time to call to discuss your requirements or alternatively you can message me using the messaging function on the platform. Please note: the 'Instant book' option is disabled so you would need to contact on the number above first to arrange a time. Lessons are booked through the Tutorhouse platform. I have a knowledge of examining bodies such as AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC, Salters & CCEA, the American system and International Baccalaureate however can work towards other examining bodies by request. I work with individuals to identify why they may have problems and make a plan to ensure that they do their best during their exams. I help adolescents choose a career path for themselves and help them choose their GCSEs, A-Levels & University degrees all the while preparing them for entry exams for high-performing schools. I work with nursery, primary, middle school, high school and University students to give them a good basis upon which to continue their education. My teaching style is to educate from the very beginning hence I am able to fully home-school individuals. During my University degree I specialised in Learning, Memory & Teaching through a B.Sc. in Neuroscience at Manchester University with specific interests in Developmental Neuroscience and how the brain evolves from younger years to later life. I am proficient in using e-learning methodologies and IT in my teaching and for my final year university research I created an e-learning computer program to help students learn difficult concepts in their studies using fundamental Neuroscience concepts on Learning. This was a huge success and I was awarded a First for my Teaching & Learning research work and have been selected for 2 Neuroscience PhDs since! I also achieved a First in my Learning & Memory Penultimate Year University Thesis and achieved the second highest grade in the year (86%). I was selected to lecture Neuroscience within the Faculty of Medicine at University of Central Lancashire. I have been selected to provide educational consulting services for agencies for students who need help achieving their goals but have no idea how to achieve them. I have also been selected to run ‘crash’ revision courses by tutoring agencies and delivered lessons within a classroom environment. I am a professional Governess and Tutor having worked for Royal Families, Forbes List and many others. I have served a dual purpose of working as a PA for the families I have worked with on a residential basis and during other employment. I can work on a long term residential basis or by a lesson-by-lesson basis. I enjoy working with families and enjoy family dynamics and working with other tutors/household members. I also have experience of organising the schedules of several tutors, multiple children, household members, children’s activities and chefs to attain the best possible study results for the children. I also arrange suitable nutrition for children so they are able to learn and retain information. In addition, I have tutored abroad and love to travel. For Science subjects I focus a great deal on recall and exam technique, linking topics with other subjects, ensuring the student most importantly remembers the information during the time constraints of an exam. For Maths I give the student tricks and shortcuts. I make the student repeat these shortcuts many times until the problem solving technique is second-nature so that the student can implement these fast. For Art subjects I ensure that the student has used a wide-range of media and backed-up their choices with written explanations. I spend time organising portfolios so that they are at a standard for entry into schools such as St. Martins / Parsons. I ensure the student creates a specialist sketch book with work that gives them more marks. I ensure special projects have enough pieces and depth for a substantial A grade. I work on GCSE, A-level & degree exhibition layout ensuring work is presented and mounted in a cohesive manner, demonstrating examples of A* grades and ensure the students' work is at the same level. I also have significant English Language training and have taught English and grammar in a professional setting. In addition to online, I also provide in-person lessons in Kensington, London (details and address available upon request). I have significant experience in teaching students with learning difficulties and with students with conditions such as (but not limited to) ADHD, dyscalculia, dyslexia, autism however my approach here is largely atypical and unique. I also provide parental coaching for parents who may be experiencing challenges with their offspring. All in all, I hope to provide children and adolescents with a wholesome education to supply them with the skills to excel in their lives.

I am an engaging and proactive personal tutor with 12 years of experience in tutoring English, Drama, and Creative Writing. I work with GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate students, predominantly on their English Literature studies I adapt every session to the specific needs of the student and ensure that each lesson is successful in obtaining their personal goals. In Literature tuition, we will focus on analytical skills and essay writing (considering structure, context, and critical analysis). We will also compile a revision portfolio, which greatly aids the student when preparing for their exams, allowing them to review their work in a clear, compartmentalized, and accessible manner. For many years, I worked as a school tutor with students from year 2 to year 13. This has provided me with a strong and comprehensive understanding of academic demands and the school curriculum. Additionally, I have experience teaching KS1 and KS2 subjects and have extensive experience working with SEN students. I hold a Masters Degree in Creative Writing and have led many writer's workshops for young people. I run a theatre company in London and have taught workshops and classes with drama students, varying in age from 9 to 19. I am a positive, reliable, supportive, and fun teacher who works hard to ensure that each student is able to learn in an enjoyable and accessible manner.

Hello, I'm Hannah! I am an English Tutor and CELTA-Qualified EFL Teacher with 5 years’ experience. Alongside, my own client base, I am also employed as an Online ESL teacher with an internationally renowned company “in China”. I work with all ages, levels, nationalities and needs. Prior to being a full-time teacher, I worked in one of the UK’s leading EFL schools as a Language Assistant. I have a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing, as well as an MA in Literature from the University of York. I also speak: Spanish - B2, French - A2 and Romanian - A1. EXAMPLES OF WHAT I TEACH: - Essay Writing Skills and Proofreading Feedback - EFL (including IELTS, Cambridge Exams) - KS2, 3 and 4 English Language and Literature - Grammar Practice - Creative Writing and Editing Techniques MY PROMISE: - Teach the content required in preparation for the relevant exams, curriculum and/or identified needs - Ensure examination questions are practised and ensure understanding of the mark scheme specifications - Provide free consultations reflecting on the progress of the student at their request - Be diligent on providing excellent tutelage MY APPROACH: It’s all about you! You are the director of your tuition. While following the curriculum/exam board is paramount, getting where you want to be starts by meeting you where you are. I strongly encourage students to be self-reflective and think about what areas they find most challenging. This is helpful in determining how to structure the exam and lesson content in a direction that is going to challenge and strengthen the target areas. Most of all, I want my students to thrive and leave class knowing or feeling confident about something new. My learning style is all about you. You should be the director of your education and needs. While following the curriculum is paramount, my philosophy is about meeting my students where they are at academically and working towards where they would like to be. From flashcards to worksheets, I create bespoke resources that are tailor-made to your lessons. My tuition is student-driven; we build a plan together based on your learning style and expectations. Your first lesson will be a needs analysis where we discuss the direction of your tuition and build rapport for an effective learning environment. Finally, I'm a good teacher because I am an enthusiastic learner, I am an avid reader and currently learning two languages myself - French and Spanish, so I understand what's like being a language student too. I care about my students and I am invested in their growth as students and confident learners. Most importantly, I love what I do, so if you want enthusiastic teaching, engaging and professional lessons, let's get started today!
