Von 50.77 $ /Std

Welcome! I'm a dedicated English tutor with a passion for helping students unlock their full potential. I hold a degree in English and Philosophy from Durham University and have three years of experience teaching English in secondary schools in the UK. I also had the incredible opportunity to teach English for three months in Thailand, broadening my global perspective on education.

As a tutor based in London, I offer excellent knowledge of the AQA syllabus and a friendly, supportive approach. I specialize in helping students develop essential skills such as language analysis, comprehension, creative writing, literature analysis, and essay structure. My ultimate goal is to guide students toward success, whether they need extra help or are aiming to excel in their exams.

Let’s work together to achieve your goals!

Über mich

As a teacher, I’m passionate about sharing my love for English with my students, helping them not only achieve academic success but also find genuine enjoyment in studying the subject. With a degree in English and Philosophy from Durham University, I have a deep and broad understanding of literature, which allows me to teach beyond the curriculum and encourage students to explore English in a more meaningful way.

While achieving exam goals is important, my ultimate aim is to foster a lasting appreciation for English that transcends the classroom. I provide a supportive yet challenging learning environment, where students feel comfortable tackling difficult concepts while being encouraged to think critically and beyond the obvious. I pride myself on being able to break down complex ideas into easily understandable parts, all while pushing students to expand their understanding and skills.

In addition to my focus on academic achievement, I have extensive experience teaching SEND students as well as pupils who are vulnerable and experience SEMH. I understand the importance of adapting my teaching to meet each student’s individual needs, ensuring that all learners feel supported and can thrive.

Whether it's language analysis, literature exploration, or essay structure, I strive to make learning English both rewarding and enjoyable for every student.

Learn a language through the experience of an international person who interacted with more than 85 nationalities on a daily basis and whose passion is learning foreign languages!!

I am bilingual English - Romanian, have multiple international internship experiences and consider myself a third culture individual.

French is a beautiful and useful language, whether you enjoy the literature and music, need to learn it for work or for school, for fun or for an exam.
Whatever your goal is, we will talk about it together and I will customise the classes to your wishes and needs. I have worked with people of all ages and abilities, from toddlers to retirees, and I will make sure the lesson fits your criteria. I can help you prepare for university, take GCSE or A levels, get you ready for your holiday in France, help you with homework, boost your speaking and writing skills, prepare you for business meetings, get you closer to bilingualism... And more!
I was born and raised in France and moved to England a few years ago for my degree in art history. I am in love with France, its culture and language, and I look forward to sharing it all with you!

I am currently studying French and German at the University of Cambridge, after having done French, German, and English at A-Level. This class will be individual to any student who takes it, if they arrive with questions or topics they are struggling with then I can help them improve those, or if they give me some samples of work they have done I can go through them and identify points to work on together.

If students simply want to learn a new language for pleasure, then this is something I am also able to facilitate, as long as they tell me what sort of level they are already at.

This class is designed for anyone who would like to improve their English skills, from beginner to advanced levels. I speak German and Romanian fluently in addition to English, as well as conversational Chinese and Spanish, which may make it easier for some. I tailor the class to suit the individual; after a first session I can assess the student's goal (ie. conversational, business, written, etc. level of English) and create a program to suit this.

Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so!

Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about.

Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand.

In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ).

* Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics...

* Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects.

You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

I deliver my teachings with a combination of questioning and inquiry approaches.
An initial assessment of the level of understanding of my students is very important. This enables me know where to start/continue with them. By this I can move them from known to unknown.
It is very important to state that my approach is altogether student-centered. Different students have different needs which are peculiar to them. I believe that student satisfaction and value gained for money is achieved when individualised needs are met.

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

I teach primary school children from Year 2 upwards in Maths, English and in preparation for SATs in Year 6.
My resources are all current and up to date and relevant in today’s National Curriculum specification.
I have full access to the topics to be covered in each year group in Maths and am happy to mirror and match that which is being completed termly at school as well as focusing on more challenging topics. Each lesson will begin with Arithmetic questions for fluency.
Reading comprehensions and grammar will be taught according to what is required for each year group and finally with a focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar practise papers as will be completed during SATs. I cover a variety of comprehension style questions that are inline with SATs and will cover all the skills required including word meaning, retrieval and inference questions across non fiction, fiction and poetry examples.

Classes are in groups according to year group ad charged as suggested
