Currently, I am a Ph.D student in creative writing living in Manchester but I am available for Zoom lessons only. I am a published writer/poet and also run a successful small publishing press, focusing on writing in the experimental calibre.
My experience tutoring began working with a fifteen year old girl a 4 years ago who was struggling with social anxiety and panic disorder. She was unable to go to school and I stepped in to help her pass her GCSEs. The whole experience shaped how I could help influence the student in an engaging and sensitive way, and inspire them to enjoy developing their knowledge. Also, as an experienced editor, it is in my nature to help the individual try and find their best way to express themselves in both an academic and creatively.

ENGLISH LITERATURE:
- Poetry
- Shakespeare
- The novel
- Fiction and Drama
- Literal and inferential comprehension
- Critical reading
- Evaluation of a writer’s choice of vocabulary, grammatical and structures features.
- Comparing and contrasting texts
- Revision/exam preparation and coursework/dissertation help
ENGLISH LANGUAGE:
- Critical reading and comprehension
- Summary and synthesis
- Evaluation of a writer’s choice of vocabulary, form, grammatical and structural features.
- Comparing and Contrasting texts
- Producing clear and coherent text
- Writing for impact and purpose (selecting, organising and emphasising facts, ideas and key points; citing evidence and quotation effectively and pertinently to support views; creating emotional impact; using language creatively, imaginatively and persuasively, including rhetorical devices.
- Creative Writing (in the form of "workshopping" and experimentation fo devices and ideas.)
(If necessary, I have the experience to help students who suffer from anxiety disorder and issues surrounding self-confidence. Providing a tutoring experience that is aligned with the students personal needs and motivations)

Hi! My name is Paula, and I am British-Chilean. I have a PGCE from which I graduated with a 1st, over 9 years of experience teaching languages, and have been an official examiner for A Levels and GCSEs.
When teaching students that are preparing for their exams, I adopt an exam-focused approach, dedicating time to each language skill—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—individually. I incorporate past papers into lessons to build confidence and develop effective exam strategies.
I also teach students in primary, as well as adults wishing to start or continue learning a language. For younger learners, my approach is interactive, utilising videos, songs, and games to make learning engaging. For adult learners, depending on your targets, our focus can be anywhere from conversation to career-oriented language, and we would use a variety of media too. I tailor my lessons to each student’s goals and unique learning style, and I believe in making studying fun and motivating. This way, a student can build confidence, improve learning effectiveness, and maximise their potential.
My students consistently achieve excellent progress and have fun during our lessons. In our first session, I will assess your current level, determine key targets, and create a tailored program designed to help you achieve your goals.

Degree educated
I am a highly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience teaching and tutoring in private and public schools, as well as privately and online, in the UK, France and Spain. I am familiar with all major exam boards, and have been frequently noted for the passion and rigor with which I introduce and teach my subjects.
I am a firm believer in the idea that education should be available to all, and that there is is student without potential. I thus make a point to help the student see the attraction of the subject.
My methodology is focused on ensuring immersion in both the more theoretical and abstract principles of the subect and their application through practice and concrete examples. I aim to get the student applying themselves consistently as soon as possible, keeping a constant eye out for areas for improvement.
I studied at the University of Warwick, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne.
I have worked as a teacher, tutor, translator, researcher, as well as business research and charity.
I am fluent in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
I am also a teacher of Latin and Greek.

Dynamic Language Educator: German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew
Welcome to my profile! I am an enthusiastic and experienced language teacher specialised in German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew. With a rich background in academia, I served as a university lecturer for seven years. Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to teaching German, Italian, Latin and Hebrew at all proficiency levels.
**GCSE, A-Level & IB**
I am particularly skilled in preparing students for key examinations, including GCSE (National 5), A-Level (Higher) and IB across various boards such as AQA, EDEXCEL, SQA, and more. Over the past six years, I have successfully guided numerous pupils through these critical assessments.
**Professional Development and Personal Enrichment**
In addition to academic tutoring, I have collaborated with professionals seeking to enhance their language skills for career advancement or personal enrichment. My flexible scheduling approach accommodates the diverse needs of busy professionals, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
**Customised Learning Approach**
Recognising that each learner is unique, I craft personalized lesson plans to align with individual goals and learning styles. I believe in a student-centred approach, allowing learners to progress at their own pace without the constraints of a rigid methodology.
**Assessment and Goal Setting**
Our journey begins with an initial assessment to gauge your current proficiency. Through conversation and a brief reading exercise, I quickly ascertain your starting level. This evaluation is crucial in developing a structured learning plan with clear milestones, which are particularly beneficial for GCSE/A-Level pupils. Regular goal setting fosters motivation and ensures efficient, cost-effective learning.
**Comprehensive Feedback and Support**
I am committed to providing continuous feedback and support throughout your language learning journey. Homework assignments are an integral part of the process, and I review and provide insights on the work submitted.
**Balanced Lesson Structure**
Each lesson is thoughtfully divided into three complementary segments:
1. Speaking and Listening - Enhancing conversational skills and auditory comprehension.
2. Grammar - Building a strong foundation in language structure.
3. Reading - Developing reading proficiency and comprehension.
Thank you for considering me as your language tutor. I am excited about the opportunity to embark on this linguistic journey with you.

At present in my early 50s. I began teaching, in a London tutorial college, straight after coming down from Oxford. A few years after that, I interrupted my teaching career to return to university to pursue doctoral research, but I continued to see a small number of private students throughout my time as a post-graduate student. Accordingly, I have somewhere in the region of thirty years’ experience of helping students to realise their potential and, quite often, to exceed their expectations of themselves.
My original specialisms were English Language and Literature, and these remain subjects I enjoy teaching immensely, but I have equal experience by now in History of Art, Philosophy, Film Studies, and Religious Studies, each of which I have taught to A level students and undergraduates. I also specialise in Pre-U English.
The following is a quotation from the reference supplied by the school from which I resigned last year, after twenty years as Head of English and de facto Head of Humanities, in order to focus on private tuition:
‘Bill’s main virtues as a teacher […] are his infectious enthusiasm for his subjects, his immense knowledge and erudition, his intimate familiarity with past papers and assessment criteria, his commitment to his pupils, his willingness to make supererogatory efforts on their behalf, his provision of extensive and meticulous course notes, and his generosity with his time.’

Hi! I'm David, a student at the University of Edinburgh. I love reading, cooking, swimming, and playing the piano. I have two years of experience in tutoring, as I spearheaded a volunteering program during my last two years of high school to tutor kids in a wide array of subjects. Therefore, I am trained to tutor in most high school subjects, although I am best at tutoring science subjects (biology, chemistry, and mathematics.) I am always open to new ideas and different methods of teaching in order to provide the best experience for my tutees. I look forward to helping as much as possible, so contact me in order to set up a free trial session, so that we can establish learning goals and design a strategy to achieve them.

I am an experienced UK-based bilingual language and student support tutor. I teach all levels of English & Russian language. I also provide additional student support helping with dissertations, proofreading, essay writing, 11 plus, verbal reasoning, critical thinking and creative writing. I have a warm and generous tutoring style. UK University admission and exam study skills.
I have completed Bachelors in HRM with psychology and Master of Research (Mres) degrees in Manchester and Liverpool. Presently, I am working towards completion of my PhD thesis that is devoted to exploration and development of an alternative conceptually new approach to treatment of speech impediments. As part of my PhD, I occasionally teach undergraduate students in a traditional class-room based setting.
Having spent so many years studying, I have a real passion for learning and teaching and am committed to doing my best to help my students acquire a required level of English or Russian language, and that is regardless of what their current level might be.
What I often find is that despite studying hard and spending numerous hours rote learning new Russian/English words and phrases, students still find it difficult to understand native Russian speakers, and therefore tend to shy away from interacting. This is due to students having limited or virtually no access to the Russian/English day-to-day vocabulary that is used by native speakers but rarely covered in traditional text books.
Practical experience shows that there is more to acquiring a new language than merely remembering few grammatical rules and general vocabulary. Except from teaching all the general rules of the Russian/English language, I intend to provide insight into Russian ways of thinking, mentality, cultural peculiarities as well as Russian day-to-day vocabulary that is used by native speakers but rarely covered in traditional text books. This will significantly enrich your understanding of Russian culture and expand your Russian vocabulary and built your confidence whatever the situation.
LESSON STRUCTURE
Each class is topical and has a set structure. I provide tailored study packs for all my students. Study packs are emailed to students + homework (optional). In addition to in-class guidance I can provide extra support by email/or phone (5-10 mins daily). Speaking on the phone is reported to be one of the most challenging tasks for foreign speakers. This is an excellent way to practise your speaking skills in a real-life situation.
I explain complex grammatical rules in a simple everyday language so that it is understandable and easy to remember for students when they interact in a foreign language in real life situations.
I employ variety of methods and techniques helping my students learn without need for tedious and unproductive rote-learning i.e. associative memory, games, flashcards etc.
