I am an undergraduate student, studying English at University of Nottingham. I have experience with both young children and teenagers, and enjoy both making learning fun, and helping young people meet their full potential! I'm friendly and proactive, and have experience working with children with a variety of needs. Most importantly, I believe learning should be suited to the student, not the teacher! I enjoy writing during my free-time, particularly for Nottingham's student publication, and working with young people - whether through sports teams, after-school clubs, or tutoring. I studied at a state comprehensive school in London, where I achieved 10 A*'s-B's at GCSE - including a B in Maths, A's in Science, and A's in both English Language and Literature - and A's and B's at A-Level. I'm currently an undergraduate student studying English, the subject where my strengths most definitely lie. I previously studied in London while working full-time, and am interested in pursuing a TEFL to teach young people English as a second-language.

GCSE/Junior Certificate: English Literature, History, Classics. A- Level/Leaving Certificate: English Literature, History, Classics. Exam Board Experience: Providing lessons for Irish Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate subjects Experience with: Students from 12-18 in the Irish schooling system Students from 4 - Adult teaching ESL in an online environment Adult students teaching ESL individually in person. Adept at teaching to students for whom English is not their first language. Languages: English- Native Speaker Spanish- Basic Preferred student age group: Any age About me: Hello there, My name is John O'Byrne and I am from Ireland I have been teaching for a number of years now, Over the past few years I have been teaching English as a Second Language, I have taught online for over two years and before that I taught Academic English, Business English and Conversational English to individual students in a face to face setting. In university I studied a wide range of subjects including Philosophy, History, English and Arth History before I chose the areas I would focus on for my degree. Eventually I decided on Ancient Greek and Roman Civilization alongside Politics and I was awarded a degree with honours from University College Dublin. After graduation I was invited to participate in their Masters programme but I declined their kind invitation as I wanted a break from the academic life. While in university I participated in a tutoring programme where we went to a number of schools and helped students to prepare for their examinations. I tutored groups of students in a range of subjects but mainly concentrated on English Literature and History. These years tutoring were very rewarding as the students were from under-privileged schools and were quite appreciative of all the help we gave them. Cycling is a passion of mine and as my skill in riding bicycles developed I was given opportunities to work with a few different bicycle companies. I was given bicycles and components in order to test their design and durability. I was also asked to preform in a number of marketing campaigns and advertisements for these bicycle companies. The learning processes in the physical arena and the academic arena are quite similar, they involve focus, critical thinking, repetition and study. These processes can be sped up to a certain extent if you have someone to guide you through them. I was also given the opportunity to teach bicycle skills to various groups of people and I really enjoyed this experience. I enjoy travelling and have lived for periods of time in Sweden and Spain. I have always loved learning and I continue to read about a wide range of subjects including Philosophy, Linguistics, Psychology and works in the areas I studied during my degree. So with this background I believe I can help tutor students in English as a Second Language, English Literature, History and Classics. I hope to see you in class where we can find ways to make the subject you may be having difficulties with interesting and relevant to you. Thank you. I studied in University College Dublin where I was awarded a BA degree with honours in Ancient Greek + Roman Civilization, and Politics. When I graduated I was invited to stay on to complete a Masters Degree in Classics but I declined. During my time in UCD I also studied Philosophy, English and History before I decided on completing my degree in Ancient Greek + Roman Civilization along with Politics. I have studied to teach English as a second language and earned my ESL teaching certification from TEFL.org.

Hi! I'm Sarah and I am passionate about teaching and education! The subject areas I tutor at Lower Level, GCSE and A-Level are English (Literature or Language) and History, with specialisms in Shakespeare and Mid 19th - Mid 20th Century literature, and England: 1066-1216. I have 4 years of teaching and childcare experience in a range of settings from nursery to school. In these roles, I have had specific Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) experience and training, including 2 years of 1:1 teaching with ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia. I am currently in my final year of my BA Education Studies Degree, studying at the University of Reading. I am happy working with all age groups, with no preference as to age or level of ability. I have a passion for musical theatre and the performing arts, having performed in many shows through school and university! I love reading and music, and have an eclectic taste for both - so I'd love to swap suggestions! Coming from a family of 7 children, a single mum, a low socio-economic background, and a secondary school that was in special measures, I know how tough exams and school can be; With so much pressure, feeling held back from reaching your full potential and feeling as though you're doing it alone, exams and grades can feel impossible! So, I can't wait to share all the tips, tricks, and knowledge I have to help students feel prepared, confident and happy, no matter their needs or background!

I love reading, writing poetry and short stories in my free time. I also enjoy art and music. I found exams pretty scary in school but managed to get on top of those nerves, leaving me feeling equipped to support students preparing for exams. Tackling revision and getting ready for tests doesn't have to be as scary as it seems - we'll do it together! I aim to support students academically and encourage enjoyment of English as it is a subject I am very passionate about. I have been tutoring for 4 years now- privately since 2021 and for GS since March 2022 and I find it an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable experience. General availability: All weekdays.

This year my students have already shown great improvements and I have continued supporting my long-term students, some of whom I have now been tutoring for 3 years! I am always happy to discuss progress and work on strategy with both parent and student and will adjust to the needs of both accordingly.

I am a certified TESOL teacher who studied English at college, and law and business studies at university. I spent three years teaching English in Tokyo, Japan - first for a language school and then in business. Since returning to the UK, I have taught for many different companies and also as a private home tutor. I'm used to teaching adults and children of all ages and am accustomed to working towards examinations. As a tutor, it's important that my student feels comfortable and has confidence in my abilities to help them progress so I have a relaxed manner when teaching but with an eye on reaching targets. So we will look at the areas where you need help, look at your existing approach to learning and work out strategies to get you where you need to be. I enjoy writing and sometimes write content for websites. I'm also great at watching tennis - not so good at playing though. I spent lockdown doing a lot of baking with friends online and caught up on watching some of the films that I'd always been meaning to watch. Now that the world is opening up again, I'm keen to do some travelling and hopefully some watersports - two other passions of mine. I look forward to meeting you, to teaching you and to helping you!
