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.

Teaching you or your children is my passion. Achieving your full potential, my main target. I believe in your singularity as an individual and the reason I adapt my classes to you, and not the opposite. Full interaction is key to engage you and make you reach your full potential. Having worked with multiple year groups in primary, SEN and tutoring classes proved to me that my students and I feel more comfortable when we work together. I grew up speaking 3 languages, therefore I found it easier to pick up more languages as I already had an ear for it. This led me to study all languages at A-Level before I decided to study my bachelor's degree in music. As you can see my passions lie in various subjects so let's meet and see how we can work together. Listening and learning to who you are will be the first step to personalise and tailor the way we feel most comfortable working together. It’s not about what you learn, it’s the kind of person that the knowledge will make you out to be. As a human being, play is an essential aspect of your development. Einstein said "Play is the highest form of research”. You and my students enjoy, explore, try, fail, succeed, question everything, play and walk their own path but, always by my side.

I would like to say a huge thankyou for the amazing service my son and I received. From the customer service advisor to the manager and tutor, all were extremely helpful and full of genuine care and concern. The flexibility, organisation, professionalism and rapport with the students and the parents was refreshing. Professional yet family feel. Thanks to the wonderful Uneake, Alan Harding and last but certainly not least, my son's math tutor Ikechukwu. You made it an academic and memorable experience. The detailed feedback from Ikechukwu after each session of what was covered and also being available throughout the week to answer questions via WhatsApp was highly informative and appreciated. Great team all round ! Will be using again for the younger kids. Thanks to Uneake, Alan and Ikechukwu from my son also !

I really like the change in tutor, she brings out the best in my daughter! I haven’t been impressed with some aspects of go students customer service, especially prior to daisy we had a change in tutor with little or no assistance from go student; we weren’t consulted on the new tutor and that particular tutor ended up not being the right fit at all for my daughter, she was very sad. We also know the customer service manager Daniel has left but I haven’t been advised of his replacement. With that said the lady who arranged for daisy to be placed as my daughter’s tutor was absolutely amazing, calm, patient and really committed to finding a suitable replacement for daisy.

How online English tuition can benefit you

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:

  • Exam technique training
  • Essay writing practice
  • Speaking, listening and vocabulary development

Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.

Finding a private English tutor online

During your free trial lesson with GoStudent, your English tutor will gain an understanding of your child’s strengths and weaknesses and create an individual learning plan that’s uniquely tailored to them.

After the lesson, you can decide which membership model will best meet your child’s needs. The lessons will continue via our practical online platform using video chat and practical digital tools.

Answering student's questions about online English lessons

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.

As well as English, does GoStudent offer private tuition in other subjects?

GoStudent can help give your child support with private English tuition as well as offering tuition for 40+ subjects. Select from a range of subjects including Chemistry, Physics, Spanish. Your child isn't tied into one subject with GoStudent. Maybe your child needs support with English now but as their needs change we can also offer tuition across different subjects.

What are the benefits of private English tutoring for your child?

There are many reasons why parents decide to hire a private English tutor. Some parents fear that they don’t have the knowledge to help their children with their English homework or exam preparation. Others might not have the time to sit with children and work through homework. Our English tutors can take away this stress by helping your child consolidate what they have been learning in school, working through their homework with them and building their confidence ahead of their exams. You can rest easy knowing that our tutors are experts in English and have the knowledge and teaching abilities to not only spark your child’s interest in the subject but also foster a lifelong love of learning. Discover how your child can take advantage of these benefits by booking a free trial lesson.

Can my child take private English tuition online?

With GoStudent your child can get private tuition online from one of our English tutors. Online tuition is a great option for you and your child, meaning you don't have to take your child to a class or cover the cost of a tutor to come to your home. Why not see how private tuition can work for you and your child by booking a free trial lesson.
