I am a multilinguist with considerable experience in teaching French and Spanish to a diverse range of students. I have a 100% success rate in terms of my students improving their academic grades. I am extremely passionate about my subject and committed to understanding and engaging with each new student's learning needs. I tailor my individual teaching programmes to ensure each student is able to develop and move confidently towards their goal, whether it be academic or personal. I choose to work with students who are committed to working towards their goal - they don't have to love the subject to begin with, they just have to want to improve, the love comes later, often when they discover how simple it can be and they start to see improvements in their ability and understanding! Among my previous students are Yas, a Spanish GCSE student who went from a predicted D to receiving an A* overall in 14 months, Roderick, who with no prior teaching since his French GCSE 16 months before we began, received an A* at French A Level after 7 months of home-schooling with me and Kendall, a French IB student who went from grade 3/4 to achieving a final grade 6/7 in 20 months - she called me up in Guatemala on results day so I knew it must be good news! Testimonials: "James tutored both my daughters for GCSE Spanish and they both received A*. This was particularly impressive with my eldest daughter who was on a Grade D at the end of Year 10. James accelerated Yasmin's learning rapidly over 6 months in Year 11, and changed her attitude towards Spanish from a boring difficult subject to her favourite! Aside from his in-depth understanding of the curriculum and effective teaching techniques, James is a lovely person with a great sense of humour, and the girls really enjoyed his company. We'd highly recommend James to anyone wanting to improve their grades and language skills." Zaya F - Spanish GCSE "James was simply brilliant in giving my son confidence in his ability to learn languages, which ultimately led to GCSE success. He possesses a magical ability to build self-esteem. Invaluable. Fabulous. Very highly recommended." Donna G – French & Spanish IGCSE "James tutored me in French for just over a year for the international baccalaureate. Marked out of 7, I originally achieved 3-4s in all my examinations. James helped with reading, writing and oral presentations. He helped me to increase my confidence in speaking and also taught me invaluable techniques for verb conjugations. In the end I was able to achieve a 6/7 in my final IB results. Thank you James !" Kendall U - French International Baccalaureate "James was instrumental in getting my son to an A* for his Spanish A Level this year. Over a period of 8 months James worked to improve Omar’s original predicted grade of B, focussing on some core grammar which had been missed by the school and developing his reading, writing and oral skills. James often made himself available at short notice to review and offer feedback on Omar’s practice essays for the literature part of the course. We are delighted with the result and with the high level of professional service that James provides. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend." Mehta F - Spanish A Level “My daughter Chloe was struggling with Spanish during year 11, she failed her mock and was really worried. We found James and he worked steadily with her for the three months leading up to her GCSE. I’m delighted to say she achieved a 6(B)!! Incredible...a fail to a B in only 25 hours tutoring! Thank you James, she couldn’t have done it without you!” Beth W – Spanish GCSE James tutored my daughter for just over a year at French Pre-U. Our aim was to secure a comfortable distinction. James knew the syllabus inside out and ensured no stone had been left unturned in her knowledge and exam technique. We were delighted but not too surprised when the final result came back a D1. We’re thrilled with James, his approach and the care he brings to each session. Such a star. Mikael J – Cambridge Pre U French "James is an amazing teacher. He got my daughter to a B in French GCSE from a predicted D, and my son to a B in Spanish GCSE from a predicted E. This helped my daughter to get to UCL and put the Russell Group within my son's reach. His teaching style is unique. Within minutes of arrival, he had won the respect of both my teenagers. He made himself available at weekends and in the evenings both in person and over Skype. I am so grateful for his help. I highly recommend him." Rachel G - French & Spanish GCSE "James is an outstanding teacher - he taught my son to find his own motivation & the confidence he needed to excel in Spanish. He brings the language to life and creates a self sufficiency in study habits that was wonderful to observe - the GCSE process was made palatable and non daunting ! I would wholly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor that cares about the child in the most holistic sense and leaves them with the skills to tackle languages independently post their time with him - he was an absolute star !" Shaleen Y - Spanish IGCSE "James is one of the best tutors I have ever met. He is clearly passionate about teaching and has such an engaging and enthusiastic manner. Anyone who is lucky enough to come across James has found a true gem. I cannot recommend him highly enough." Helen S - Spanish GCSE

Hello, My name is Emir and I'm a first year undergrad student at King's College London. I graduated from High School with the IB Diploma with a score of 40 out of 45. I took Math HL AA, Chemistry HL and Physics SL and I scored 7 out of each one and I will be more than willing to help anyone in need of exceeding their mock exams, regular exams or the actual IB exam itself. I am also very familiar with the GCSE and A-Level format so I will surely do my best to contribute. I have 2-3 years of experience of tutoring in Turkey (where I'm from) and I believe I provide a different insight towards my students. I believe that as a student, I am more empathetic towards students because I was in their position not too long ago and that's why I can relate to them more than a professional teacher. I understand their stress, their concerns about time management and besides just lecturing, I can also advice and guide them about their social and academic life and how to balance both during exam periods because I have been in their shoes not more than a year ago. That's why I'm open to any questions the students may have, not just about the topic that they are studying; but about how they should study, what they should do in their free time to avoid mental exhaustion etc.

I am currently studying Biochemistry at University of Oxford having finished schooling at North London Collegiate School where I gained 45/45 in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. I have had previous experience tutoring IB biology, chemistry, English, maths and economics as well as GCSE French, English, maths, biology and chemistry. I believe in altering my teaching style according to the student and have had experience in tutoring a variety of different academic abilities and ages. I am extremely organised and am happy to go above and beyond in regards to preparation and gathering resources to help the student. My experience in tutoring for IB and GCSE means that I am good at ensuring that all parts of the syllabus are covered and that the student is well informed of what’s expected in the exam. One of my IB students was recently admitted to Tufts University in Massachusetts while other students that I am currently tutoring for SAT are currently applying for numerous highly ranked American Universities.

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.

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.’

I turned down a place at Cambridge University to study English and Drama at Bristol University. During my studies, I began tutoring students preparing for their various assessments. Upon graduating, I moved into full time tutoring, both online and in London. I worked in Dubai for two years, where I split my time between tutoring and freelance journalism work (I wrote for Forbes magazine, amongst others). Whilst in Dubai, I helped the three children of a Saudi Sheikh secure entrance to Le Rosey, a sought after Swiss boarding school. I have also undertaken residential summer placements, including working with two siblings on their 8+ and 11+ assessments in the south of France for a month, and I've worked with many children for the 11+ tests and preparation. My students cover a range of ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Three years ago I specialised my practice to online tuition.

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.

Why study English?

The English Language is a very fun and versatile subject. If you're someone who is curious about how we started speaking English, where we get words from, and how they impact society – then this is definitely up your street! You should take English Language lessons if you're interested in journalism, writing careers, or even teaching. Book lessons with an English tutor in Sheffield and start learning today!

Can an English tutor in Sheffield enhance my creative writing?

Yes, our English tutor in Sheffield can enhance your creative writing skills by providing guidance on elements such as plot development, character creation, and effective use of language. They can also provide constructive feedback on your writing and suggest ways to improve it. Ultimately, working with a tutor can help take your creativity to the next level.

How do I improve my English writing skills?

To improve your English writing skills you can try reading academic essays, getting feedback on your writing style, and absorbing information from other texts and great authors or poets. You should make notes of new vocabulary learned and techniques like metaphors, hyperbole, pathetic fallacy and others. Then keep practising! Hiring an English tutor in Sheffield could mean the difference between a C and an A grade in your writing skills.

How much does an English tutor in Sheffield cost?

How much does an English tutor in Sheffield cost? The hourly rate for an English tutor in Sheffield varies depending on numerous factors such as their qualifications, the type of tutoring services they offer, your needs, and their experience in teaching English. Typically, you can expect to pay between £20-£90 per hour for a Tutor House English tutor in Sheffield, rates which can compete with the best language schools.

The Benefits of Hiring an English tutor in Sheffield

The English Language is a compulsory subject taught from primary school until at least GCSE level. Therefore, getting solid English tuition from an English tutor in Sheffield is well worth your time. It's a great subject to study, as it improves your creative writing skills, knowledge of the language itself, understanding of the media, and much more. In the corporate sector, the significance of knowing business English can not be overlooked. Therefore, it is safe to say that formal education in the English language is an absolute necessity.

 

A lot of students will struggle with English because there are several topics to grasp. From understanding the media's role in the news to writing creative stories, they might need an English tutor to help break down a specific task where they are underperforming. A classroom setting is not always the best way to learn; with one teacher to 30 pupils. The lessons are often generic and time-constrained. This means students might not get all the support they need, especially if some have learning difficulties. In the long run, they might find it hard to compete with the school's expectations and achieve lower grades or even fail. An English tutor is, therefore, an excellent alternative.

 

At Tutor House, we provide English tutors in Sheffield, London, Liverpool and all around the UK. We have tutors for all levels, ages, and abilities. Our team personally interviews and handpicks tutors, making sure they're passionate about English and improving your learning. You will accelerate your knowledge as the teaching is tailored to your goals, needs, personality, and learning style. With effective 1:1 tutoring, you can learn at your own pace without the pressure of the classroom. 

 

With our e-learning platform, you'll be able to track and measure your progress in live-time, rather than waiting for the quarterly parents' meeting. In fact, we've seen our students grow their confidence and grades from a C to an A (Grade 7) in just a few sessions!

 

The best part about hiring an English tutor in Sheffield is that you can learn from anywhere you want! With online lessons, you don't have to travel to the ends of the Earth or leave your home. So you'll have more flexibility in how and when you want to learn, without all the hassle. This is a perfect solution for families that run a tight ship and parents with busy schedules.

 

Sometimes all we need is English tuition from an expert, and it shouldn't be hard to find! That's why Tutor House aims to make the process of finding an English tutor easy with our bespoke system. All you need to do is browse all tutors and filter for your age, level, budget, goals, and location - then we'll match you with an English tutor in Sheffield for private or online tuition. Call us today and book a trial call with a Sheffield tutor for free. Let Tutor House get you to the top of the leaderboard!
