Hi, I'm Laura, a qualified Primary School Teacher from the UK. I have been tutoring professionally for over 5 years now. I am restarting tutoring for some extra income as I have been working as a Reception Class teacher for the past year and specialise in Early Years Education. Alongside operating in the private sector, I have previously worked professional tutor for my local council, providing tuition to children who cannot attend mainstream schools. As I have a degree in English, it is my specialist subject. I tutor Language up to GCSE and Literature up to A-level. I have experience preparing students for the 11+ too. I am fully DBS checked.

I’ve had many years of experience volunteering with schools helping students excel in subjects that they find difficult. I’ve always had a passion for science leading me to have a career in microbiology so I know tutoring biology would be a strong suit. Hopefully, I can encourage more students, especially young women to pursue a future in STEM. I loved maths back in school and I do find myself still doing random mathematical questions as I love the subject. I was my favourite back in school. My teacher made English enjoyable and allowed me to have creative responsibilities, making me want to pass that on to the next generation. Apart from my educational background, I enjoy art, allowing me to be more creative and express myself in a different light. But apart from my academics, Im very creative and enjoy doing lots of artistic hobbies such as painting and drawing. My most remarkable talent is drawing landscapes. I also am a big movie buff so hopefully, I can if I have that in common with a student I use that to tailor lessons for them.

My focus when I teach is on providing a welcoming environment where the student can feel free to explore and question what is taught so that natural curiosity can develop and he/she leaves the class with more confidence and autonomy.

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!

GCSE: English, German, Preferred student age group: Primary Level, GCSE level About me: Hello there! I'm Vlad, and I'm excited to embark on this learning journey with you. With a Bachelor's degree in English and Communications, I've dedicated the past 5 years to the wonderful world of teaching. Teaching has always been my calling, stemming from my school days when I first realized my passion for it. Over time, it evolved into a profession that I absolutely adore. While my main focus is English, I'm a multilingual enthusiast who is proficient in German and Russian as well. I've had the privilege of working with primary school children, helping them master these languages. Additionally, I've successfully guided students through the challenging IELTS exam, enabling them to pursue higher education at prestigious international institutions. But that's not all – I'm also here to make math an enjoyable journey for primary-level learners. Teaching primary level Maths is another one of my strengths, and I take great joy in helping young minds unlock the world of numbers. My teaching philosophy centers around creating engaging, informative, and goal-driven classes. I believe that this approach fosters not only academic growth but also a lifelong love for learning. So, I invite you to join my one-of-a-kind learning world, where we prioritize a fun and individually tailored learning experience. When I'm not teaching, my interests are vast and diverse. I have a deep love for exploring various music genres and even played the clarinet during my university years. I also enjoy tutoring music literature at different non-profit organizations. Beyond that, I'm a passionate artist and filmmaker. You'll often find me sketching in my free time, capturing the essence of life through street photography, or creating compelling short documentary films. Join me on this exciting educational adventure, where learning is a dynamic and enjoyable process. Together, we'll explore the world of language, culture, creativity, and even the fascinating realm of mathematics. My educational journey has played a pivotal role in shaping my career as an educator. I proudly hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Communications, a qualification that has not only refined my language and communication skills but has also ignited my passion for teaching. This academic foundation in language and communication has been instrumental in my ability to effectively convey complex ideas to students from diverse backgrounds. However, my quest for knowledge didn't stop there. I pursued a Master's degree in Management and Leadership, a decision that has significantly enriched my teaching career. This advanced degree has not only honed my leadership and organizational skills but has also equipped me with the strategic thinking required for effective classroom management and curriculum development. My educational journey has provided me with a holistic approach to teaching. It combines the power of language proficiency with the insights of management and leadership skills, allowing me to create dynamic and well-structured learning environments for my students. In essence, my educational background has served as the cornerstone of my teaching philosophy, offering students not only language proficiency but also the essential life skills that come with effective management and leadership. This combination has enabled me to inspire and empower students to reach their full potential, making my teaching career both rewarding and impactful.

I have been teaching English for GCSE, Junior Cert and Leaving Cert, as well as teaching Junior Cert and Leaving Cert French online for the last two years. As well as this, I teach primary school Irish and Ordinary Level Irish for the Junior and Leaving Certificate exams. I also have experience in tutoring EFL students with a low-level of English and helping them to gain confidence in their language skills. I have guided many students towards achieving both higher grades and developing genuine interest in the subjects I teach through my engaging and clear teaching style. I strongly believe that when students are comfortable with their tutor, and when they have a say in what material needs to be studied, they find it easier to actively learn and to absorb the information which they are being taught.

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.
By subjects
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.
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?

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.
