I am an English Literature graduate from the University of Birmingham, who is currently studying a Masters degree in Philosophy. I really enjoy English and Philosophy as they can be a really fun subjects to learn as well as teach. I found that at school my teachers made the subjects enjoyable, so much so that I got a grade 9 in my English Literature GCSE and a grade 8 in English Language as well as a grade A* in my Religious Studies A-level and a 2:1 in my English Literature degree. Therefore, I aim to help students improve their grades by making learning enjoyable because when something is difficult to learn it can be difficult to want to understand and persevere. As a tutor, it is important to understand areas of struggle and help to adapt them in a way that is more accessible to the student. I have achieved 10 GCSEs, in which I received: 1 Grade 9 in English Literature, 4 Grade 8’s (1 Grade 8 being in English Language), 3 Grade 7’s and 2 Grade 6’s. I have also achieved 3 A-levels and received: an A* in Religion, Philosophy and Ethics, an A in English Literature and a B in German. I graduated from the University of Birmingham as an undergraduate English Literature student with a 2:1 Honours and have recently graduated with a MSc in Philosophy, Mental Health, and Psychology.

Hi, my name is Rabiah. I’m a Psychology graduate from Loughborough University, currently working full-time as a mental health coach alongside tutoring. I’m an outgoing, positive, and approachable person who values building strong, supportive relationships with the students I work with. Working in mental health has deepened my understanding of how young people learn best — especially when they feel heard, motivated, and confident. I bring that same mindset into every tutoring session, creating a space that is both structured and calm, where students feel encouraged to ask questions, take ownership of their learning, and challenge themselves. Outside of work, I love traveling, socialising, and creating content for social media. During the pandemic, I also found a strong passion for giving back — and was proud to be recognised as a lead volunteer for the charity Penny Appeal. 👋 About Me - Hi, I’m a tutor with over 2,000 hours of experience since 2021, specialising in 11+, GCSE, and A-Level Psychology, English, and History. I’ve worked with students of all levels — from those aiming for top grades to those just looking to build confidence — and I always shape lessons around what really works for them. I studied English Literature, Psychology, and History at A-Level, and went on to earn a degree in Psychology from a top 10 UK university. I’ve always had a passion for writing and learning, and I bring that energy into every session. ✏️ How My Lessons Work - My sessions are fun, relaxed, but structured. I like to create a collaborative space, where the student has a voice in what we cover and how we work — whether that’s preparing for an upcoming mock, tackling a difficult topic, or building long-term skills. At the start of each session, I include a short activity (like a spelling challenge or mind map) to activate the brain and get focused. I bring in creative tools, real-life examples, and even storytelling — especially in History — to keep students engaged and make concepts stick. 💬 What Students Love- Students often tell me they enjoy the mix of freedom and structure in lessons. I adapt my teaching style to suit them — whether they prefer visuals, discussion, writing practice, or a bit of everything. I’ve found that when students feel heard and involved, they become more motivated and independent learners. 🎯 Results I’m Proud Of - - Helped a student go from a grade 6 to 8 in both English Literature and Language - Supported a struggling History student to achieve a Grade A in their GCSE - Helped many students pass 11+ exams and gain places at selective grammar schools - Built exam confidence and readiness for those aiming for college and university offers I’ve also helped with homework support, long-term exam planning, and short bursts of intensive revision — I’m flexible depending on what the student needs. 👩🏫 A Bit More About Me - Alongside tutoring, I’ve had real-life experience understanding children’s needs — I’m also the older sibling to seven younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me more than any textbook ever could! I’m patient, understanding, and always ready to encourage students to reach beyond what they thought they could do. Tutoring isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Seeing my students grow in confidence, learn to think independently, and make week-by-week progress (no matter how small) is what keeps me going.

GCSE: English literature, English language, Business A-level: English Literature, Business Studies Degree level: Religion, Politics, Education, Social Sciences Exam board exp: AQA, Edexcel, OCR Experience with: KS2, KS3, KS4, KS5 including SEN and EAL students Languages: English and Spanish Preferred student age group: KS2 and KS4, years 5, 6, 10 and 11 About me: Since graduating from King's College London with a BA in Religion, Politics and Society in 2022 I have had various roles in education. After university I worked at a secondary school on a graduate scheme with Step Into Teaching, working as a teaching assistant and running the school library. In this role I worked predominantly with KS3 students on a 1:1 and small-group basis, but I love working with KS4 students and building their knowledge in their subjects. In this role I have worked with SEN and ESL students. Shortly after this I went to Malaga, Spain to work as an au pair. While living with a Spanish family it was my repsonsiblity to teach English to two daughters, ages 11 and 14. I then worked as an English tutor in a secondary school through the National Tutoring Programme. In this role I worked with year 10 and year 11 students, helping them progress in GCSE English Literature and GCSE English Language. I have recently completed an MA in Education at University College London and am currently working as a teaching assistant in a secondary school. I support students in lessons and run GCSE English Literature and Language revision sessions for SEN students. I also support year 7, 8 and 9 students with phonics interventions. September 2025 I will be training as a secondary school English teacher. I'm passionate about building student's confidence in their subject alongside building their subject knowledge. Based on my own experience, I'm keen to help students become more confident in how they perform in exam conditions and maximise the application of their knowledge when under pressure. My favourite thing about working as a tutor is seeing students gradually become more confident in asking questions and the sense of achievement they feel when they have reached a certain target grade or a certificate or award in school.

English tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence
Studying English at school includes technical aspects of the language such as grammar and vocabulary, and English literature focuses on text analysis and creative writing.
English-related skills such as reading and writing are vital throughout school, regardless of the subject matter. Learning how to communicate your thoughts clearly boosts self-confidence, improves vocabulary and leads to better exam results.
GoStudent English tutors offer one-to-one lessons tailored to your child’s needs, helping them understand where their weaknesses are in their written work and working with them to improve their writing style.
The advantages of studying English
English is an essential subject in the national curriculum. All students are required to pass English exams at primary school and English makes up one of the three core GCSE subjects in secondary school.
Studying for an English and Literature A-level or an undergraduate or master's degree can be hugely rewarding. Not only will you learn a great deal about the language, you will also be introduced to radically different ways of understanding and explaining the world.
An English degree can open the door to a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as teaching, editing, journalism and law. There is also a growing market for teaching English as a second language either at home or overseas, where the demand might be higher.
English tuition at primary school
English tuition at primary school is an excellent way to prepare for the future. Studying reading and writing helps with English language skills in general, and learning about different authors and their works may very well ignite a passion for reading in your child, laying the foundation for study at a higher level.
English exam preparation and English revision classes
GCSE exams are the qualifications students take at the age of 16. GCSE English provides a solid foundation for studying humanities courses at a higher level, and skills taught include writing essays, reading comprehension and text analysis.
If your child choose to continue to study English Language and Literature at A-level, it's extremely important for them to achieve a solid GCSE foundation.
English tutors can provide:
Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.

How much does private English tuition cost?
Prices for private English tuition can be as low as £21.99. The cost of each individual lesson will depend on how many lessons your child takes per week and how long they would like tuition for. Book a free trial session to see how affordable private English tutoring can be with GoStudent.
