✩GoStudent Tutor of the Year – 2025 Award PhD candidate & A Level / GCSE Teacher SEN Tutor (Dyslexia Focus) – No Experience with ASD or Other SEN -Preferred Age Group: Above Year 6 (Native & EFL/ESL) -Main Focus: AQA/OCR/Edexcel GCSE, ICE IGCSE, AS, and A Levels -IELTS exam board In my five years of teaching, I’ve observed that most GCSE students overlook the contextual understanding of literary texts, struggle with language and structure analysis, and often face challenges with time management. With over 60 students in 2024, I’ve developed a unique program that addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of language and literature studies. Over the past 3 years, I’ve helped more than 130 students achieve at least a grade 7 in their GCSEs. About Me Language is not just a tool for communication, it's rather a reflection of how we see ourselves, our world and culture. I am a PhD candidate who recently published a paper on sexism and gender bias to help promote social justice by teaching politically correct language. In light of my educational research I learned that each student has a unique mind and uses different techniques to learn. Hence, my responsibility entails guiding each individual to unlock their complete potential. In my free time you'll always find me in the gym, or on a football pitch. Traveling also provides a refreshing break from my scholarly activities. ✩Valedictorian Education: PhD Candidate (first year in the program) MA High distinction researcher: Sociopragmatics & Classroom Research ✩Attained the top position in Bachelor's degree studies specializing in English Linguistics and Literature ✩Secured the highest ranking in both Masters 1 and Masters 2 studies focusing on Linguistic Research ✩Holder of a Bachelor's degree in Education and recipient of a Teaching Diploma (Masters 1)

Subjects I teach - Lower Level: Maths, English, Science and History - GCSE: Maths, English Language, English Literature, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology Educational experience: GCSE: 9 GCSEs at Grade 8-9, A Levels: A*A*A, University: Law LLB Degree at University of Exeter (2nd year) Exam board experience: AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, Eduqas Languages: English, Hindi (fluent) Preferred student age group: primary/secondary level About you: Hello, my name is Mudra and I have 500+ lessons of tutoring experience with GoStudent and am passionate about teaching students in a interactive and enjoyable environment. My favorite subject at school was History, where I particularly enjoyed the process of undertaking extended research around a specific topic in my coursework components. In my spare time, I enjoy watching films and documentaries. As a student myself, I have also frequently watched academic documentaries that I look forward to recommending to students as an excellent way to expand contextual knowledge of a topic outside class in a compelling and enjoyable way! Teaching approach: My teaching approach involves planning and creating detailed lessons materials, synthesizing textbook material into bitesize information for young students to teach them in an enjoyable and interactive environment. Visual aids, practice questions and interactive activities (particularly for young students) are incorporated into each lesson and post-lesson feedback is provided to the parent/student, including all PowerPoint slides and other lesson materials used during the lesson and any homework if preferred. Additionally, academic progress is monitored via an initial key topic list (detailed on the first slide of the PowerPoint slides) which is updated after each lesson, including progress on individual focus areas of improvement for the student. Moreover, if the parent/student prefers, comprehensive reports of academic progress, topics covered and key areas of strength and improvement can be sent every two months. Tutoring experience - Tutor since September 2022 (taught 700+ lessons at GoStudent and Edumentors) with experience tutoring 50 students including 20 primary students (inc. SATS prep), 30 secondary school students (inc. 22 at GCSE level- Year 9-11), 9 11+ students -Experience tutoring AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC, Eduqas and Scottish National 5s - SEN experience of tutoring students with dyslexia as well as mental health conditions such as anxiety Work experience - Volunteer for the Citizens Advice Witness Service at Staines Magistrates' Court since August 2022. - Australian Charities and not-for-profits Commission: Governance Standards Part A and B 4-week law course - 'Making Successful Decisions through the Strategy, Law & Ethics Model': University of Michigan law course - Linklaters UK Introduction to Commercial Law Virtual Experience Programme - Clifford Chance Antitrust Global Virtual Internship - Experience identifying and addressing any welfare needs of KS3 students while being an anti-bullying and wellbeing ambassador at The Magna Carta Secondary School Other skills - Strong research and debate experience acquired while running the Debating Society at my school which involved researching broad concepts, collating key arguments and synthesizing them into a concise way for students to comprehend. - Leadership and teamwork experience as Head Girl of The Magna Carta School and President of the ‘Student Voice’

Hello! My name is Kiera and i have a first class degree in Modern History. I am still at university working towards my masters degree now! Like you when, i was in school i needed tutoring to build up my confidence and subject knowledge, and without the tutoring i had ,i truly do not think i would be where i am today- and have such a passion for learning. While i love learning- i am human and need some winding down time. My favourite hobby is exercise and second to that is cooking as it lets my creative side come out! Other hobbies of mine include: reading and travelling. I hope on gostudent i can support you with specific subject knowledge and introduce you to useful and EFFECTIVE ways to learn or revise. More importantly i want to help build up your confidence; often you know a-lot more than you think you do. But, if not, i can support you to getting to a place of assurance in your desired subject- we will work together to get you to a level you want to be. As a tutor i want to scrub up and polish the foundations you already have- which i am confident will bring closer to your target grade! I look forward to embarking on this journey with you!

With years of experience, I have developed effective teaching strategies that cater to a wide range of learning styles.

I have a longstanding love for English Literature and Language and enjoy helping students develop strong analytical and communication skills.

Beyond academics, I am a Netball coach, helping young athletes refine their skills while fostering teamwork and confidence. I am also experienced in working with students with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, ensuring that my lessons are engaging, accessible, and tailored to individual needs.

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.
