I have a first-class bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Classics from The Open University, as well as Philosophy MA at Birkbeck University, in which I achieved a distinction. I studied a wide range of topics such as ethics, metaphysics, logic, ancient history, literature, and culture. I am currently studying for a research degree and I have always been intellectually driven and have experience in learning efficiently and effectively. My teaching style is enthusiastic, explorative, and attentive. I aim to inspire my students to discover the beauty and relevance of English Literature and Language and to help them develop their critical thinking and analytical skills. I tailor my lessons to suit the needs and interests of each student, and I provide them with detailed feedback and guidance. I teach English, as well as Philosophy and Ancient Languages (Greek and Latin), at various levels, from beginners to advanced and have a strong knowledge of GCSE and A level Syllabi. I have worked as an examiner for GCSE English Literature, so can use this experience to help student achieve peak exam performance. I believe that learning can be not only intellectually rewarding, but also enjoyable. I use a variety of resources and methods to make my lessons engaging and interactive, such as games, quizzes, videos, podcasts, key texts, and images. I also encourage my students to express their own opinions and perspectives, and to engage in lively discussions with me and with each other. I have been working as a tutor as part of the National Tutoring Scheme for the past year. In that time, I have been consistently praised for my creative, engaging and understanding approach to tuition. I have also completed a Teach First course in a Further Education environment, in which I shadowed experienced teachers, learnt about effective teaching practice, and presented my own lesson to senior educators to rave reviews. I now work at one of the highest performing sixth-forms in the country, advising students on their study skills. If you are looking for a tutor who can help you achieve your academic goals, while also making your learning experience enjoyable and meaningful, then I am the right tutor for you. I achieved straight As at A Level in English Literature, Classics and Philosophy, a first-class BA and I have achieved a Distinction in MA Philosophy at Birkbeck.

🌟 Speak Spanish from Day One with a Friendly Local Through a Natural Approach 🌍 | Experienced Tutor | All Levels Welcome, Whether in Casual or Professional Enviroments🎯 Hola! I'm Kurt from Chile, and I would love to be your friendly guide to mastering Spanish. Here is a little bit about me so you can know me better: I’m passionate about languages 📚, content creation 📝📹, and traveling ✈. I love to connect my interests with my teaching in a very friendly and safe way. This is why my goal as a tutor is to guide you in your Spanish journey and help you gain confidence, regardless of your current level. After some years of working with different students (and also being a language learner myself), here is what you can expect from my lessons 👇🏻 ✅ Friendly, Real-Life Learning: I’m convinced that using the "natural approach" and "comprehensible input" is the best way to learn a language. My lessons focus on real-life situations to help you communicate confidently in Spanish. ✅ Immersive Focus: I focus on full immersion in Spanish, and show you how to keep practicing on your own, no matter your level or background. ✅ Customized Learning Plans: We’ll create a personalized learning plan based on your interests or professional goals. I’ll always give you feedback to ensure you're progressing in a way that matters to you. ✅ Resource Variety: From flashcards to interactive tasks, I’ll provide the materials you need based on your objectives. ✅ Ongoing Support: Whether in or out of class, I’m always available to guide you, ensuring your success at every stage. ✅ Adaptable Learning: I adjust lessons to suit your mood and needs. Whether you’re feeling low on energy and we switch to a fun activity, or you need to focus on a specific task, I’ll tailor the lesson to keep it engaging and effective. ✅ Flexible Scheduling: If you need to reschedule, I’ll do my best to find a new time that works for both of us so that we can keep your progress on track. Imagine yourself speaking Spanish confidently—whether it’s during your travels ✈, with friends and family ❤, or in a business setting 💼. Don’t let age, background, or beginner’s nerves stop you! Spanish is for everyone, and you’re no exception 💫. *I'm currently only teaching students older than 18 years old* *I'm able to teach Spanish to all levels independently of the goals and background* *As an English teacher I only teach EFL to adult students (students who are learning English as a language)* I studied at University, which led to two degrees: one as an English language specialist (grammar and phonology) and another as an English-Spanish Translator. I’m furthering my education daily to specialize in financial and mixology translation and become a better and more efficient Spanish tutor. In addition, I have an extra degree as a community manager which is not 100 % related to coaching. I specialise in teaching conversational Spanish to adults

I’m a firm believer in the outlook of the Art History in Schools charity that advises teaching Art History from the age of five. Lessons in Art History can help students of other subjects like history, art, architecture, and photography. For those considering going on to learn Art History at University, it is useful to have taster lessons.

I have been nominated for a Writing.com Quill Award for being a top reviewer. I write non-fiction about literature and history, for example, my latest book entitled 'Jane Austen’s Easter' and an article in the Brontë Studies journal. I volunteer at a local library to give literary talks and read at children’s events. I enjoy watercolour painting, baking, sewing and crafting, watching historical and fantasy films, visiting historic sites and gardens, and walking with my dog. I have a lifelong love of learning about literature, history and the arts. I have eight GCSEs: English- A*, English Literature- A*, Psychology- A*,Geography- A*, British Social and Economic History- A, Biology- A, French- A, Mathematics- B. For my A-Levels in Classical Civilisations, English Literature and Art History I gained A* grades. I achieved a First for my BA Hons in Humanities with a specialism in Art History with the Open University, which included taking a 3rd Year module in English Literature. I gained a Distinction for my MA in Heritage Management studied with the University of Birmingham, and was nominated to be the Class Representative for the course. I have been a tutor with GoStudent since 2022. I lecture on literary heritage topics at the University of Chester. I have also given lectures on my historical research at the University of Alberta and the University of Shrewsbury.

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.
