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, Science, and English (all boards) A-Level – Computer Science, Biology (all boards) 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.

I'm a medical student with 8+ years tutoring (A level / GCSE,). My expertise in chemistry / biology / maths. I have lots of experience in teaching humanity subjects such as English, sociology, and history. * Only AS chemistry and maths * I teach students at varying levels so it's important to adapt and adjust accordingly. If you're a visual learner, let's draw. If you're an auditory learner, let's discuss. If you're a note taker, let's learn the best note taking method for you! I do, however, encourage all my students to engage in spaced repetition learning. Whether we schedule that in during our sessions or if we use anki, this is probably the most important method of retaining information.

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.

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?
