I have taught over 2800 sessions with Go Student and have been working on the plafrom for 4 years. Subjects : English, History, Religious Studies, Geography, Arts and Photography KS1, KS2, KS3 and GCSE. My name is Alicia and I'm 28 from Berkshire. I am delighted to be teaching English, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Arts and Photography for Go Student. I am a Masters graduate and a passionate educator. I studied a Bachelor of Arts and since I have three years of experience working as a visiting practitioner/lecturer for BA students as alumni at my university. I also worked or Role Models as a course leader teaching life skills to children aged 3-15 across the world. I believe that every child is a different type of learner and their academic and personal growth is best when they nurture their individual passions. They are capable of learning anything , they simply need to be given the tools and skills to pursue it. Therefore it is vital for children to have dedicated mentors who support them through the different stages of their journey. I am passionate about demonstrating and encouraging students to explore, discover, and cultivate their strengths both academically and creatively. I am a Masters graduate and I studied a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and publishing . Since graduating I have had four years of experience working as an online tutor as well as working as alumni and a practitioner for first and second year BA students.

Subjects & Levels: KS3 & GCSE: Biology, Chemistry, English Language & Literature, Other Subjects upon consideration. A-Level: Biology, Chemistry Language: English to a proficient level and Telugu to an intermediate level. No SEND Experience Preferred Age Group - No preference I have found tutoring to be one of my best strengths. I am able to best cater to my student's needs, goals, and levels and work out a plan to help them reach their goals and beyond. I teach with patience and do not move on till my students understand what I am teaching. I am able to have a good holistic overview of the topics I teach and equip my students with the best tips to help make the subject easier. I am a quick learner and understand the steps to learning that one must take to learn efficiently. Communication and understanding are my strengths, hence why my students are able to grasp the concepts of topics well. I follow a step-by-step process and teach with patience, taking in the request of parents and the needs of the student. I am currently a Business & Management student at Royal Holloway, University of London. Aside from academics, my interests widely range from music, dance, sports, and reading. When I find interest in something, I try to learn and teach myself as I have with dance and the Korean language. I have high expectations for myself and encourage my students to do the same for themselves. I am also told to have a very easy going personality so I have a great rapport with my students and they find me easy to communicate with and ask me questions. Alongside my A-Levels, I have completed an EPQ in which I earned a B. The question of my research was about meditation, its benefits, and whether it should be made obligatory in school settings. It included investigating, collecting, and summarising primary data and as well as an initiation to implement meditation in my school as part of the well-being program. It gave good results and also spread awareness of this very beneficial practice. Other than that, I have attended courses on leadership as well.

Hi, I’m Sivapriya, 25 years old, and I’ve been working on this platform since February 2022. My teaching portfolio includes: Primary Level – Mathematics and English (including phonics) Secondary Level – Computer Science, Mathematics, Science, and English GCSE & IGCSE – Computer Science, Mathematics, Combined Science, Triple Science, and English (all boards) A-Level – Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Maths (all boards) Scottish Curriculum (SQA): National 4 & 5 – English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science I also support students preparing for SAT and 11+ exams, as well as English proficiency tests such as IELTS, UKVI IELTS, TOEIC, and TOEFL. I am proficient in various programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Python, and C#, along with scripting and markup languages such as JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I have extensive experience working with students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, and other learning challenges. My approach emphasises adaptive teaching strategies, structured learning techniques, and personalised support to help each student overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. To date, I have conducted over 4,350 tutoring sessions, helping students achieve consistent improvement and build lasting confidence in their abilities. Furthermore, I work as an IELTS and Business English trainer for a school in South Carolina. I have previously taught in Japan and Vietnam, gaining valuable international experience. I hold a CertTESOL certificate from Trinity College London and have a strong understanding of delivering the target language through context-based instruction. My bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering has provided me with a solid foundation in Mathematics, Science, and Computer Science. In addition, I have completed a postgraduate diploma in Montessori method teacher training at INTESOL Worldwide (UK) and obtained a certificate in teaching UK-based synthetic phonics. This diverse academic background enables me to design engaging, interactive lessons that cater to a wide range of learning styles. My preferred teaching methodology is the ESA (Engage, Study, Activate) approach. I begin by capturing learners’ interest through engaging content, followed by focused study of the target language and structured practice activities. Finally, students participate in free practice sessions, allowing them to apply the target language confidently in real-life contexts. I am a patient, supportive, and dedicated educator who strives to create a positive learning environment that fosters the emotional, intellectual, and social development of every student. With my experience and passion for teaching, I am confident in my ability to guide students toward meaningful academic progress.

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.

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.
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.

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