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.

Hello! I’m Kyrie Zalyn, an educator with a strong foundation in Psychology and over five years of teaching experience for both English and Math. What drives me as a teacher is my passion for helping students realize their full potential—academically and personally. My approach blends structure with creativity, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. With a background in psychology, I understand how students think, learn, and stay motivated. I use that knowledge to design lessons that are engaging, interactive, and tailored to each learner’s pace and personality. Whether it’s refining communication skills or solving complex equations, I aim to create a space where students feel confident, curious, and capable. Beyond teaching, I’m a professional chess master and a language enthusiast—constantly learning, just like my students. I believe that the best classrooms are built on connection, encouragement, and growth, and I strive to bring that energy into every session. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I’m also a certified TEFL teacher with over five years of experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and learning levels. In addition to teaching, I’ve led teams as a chess athlete and coach with a title of "Woman National Master" in the field of chess. Also, I continue to grow by exploring new languages and learning strategies. I believe in creating a classroom where students feel supported, understood, and inspired to reach their goals—one lesson at a time.

I've been a tutor four years now, helping dozens of students. If you are interested, I'd be happy to put you in contact with some of them so that you can chat about anything you're interested. I'll work with you in conversation, which'll brings us intellectually close to each other. This allows empathy to guide the learning process. One of the challenges I often face is answering an insightful question. If I'm not able to do it independently, I focus on relating to you through a simpler concept we are both familiar with. By breaking this concept down into smaller pieces and unveiling our own understanding of it, we enlighten ourselves. The thing I enjoy most about teaching is learning about you. I help with a tough concept or methodology by relating my presentation to how you reckon already known matters. This process will familiarize us with your subject's topics. This is the reason why we'll mostly avoid memorizing stuff. - Do you find lectures boring? If so, you'll find my lessons a perfect fit! Our lessons won't be old-school. Whether you're cutting your teeth with tuition or not, you'll be in conversation with me. As your tutor, I'll share thoughts back and forth and build our understanding of your subject's concepts and methods. - Do you find yourself in stupor at school? From our very first class, I'll lead you to explore and become your own coach, so that you can see results after the first two weeks. We don't need to learn by heart most of the things required to pass with flying colors. As your mentor, I pursue with fervor the breaking down of concepts and getting to the bottom of them. Once we achieve this, you won't have to revise said concepts ever again. - What if you find exams particularly tough? Isn't it annoying when you know the material but still can't get those marks? I offer exam preparation and methods to get those precious marks. We'll read the questions together and work on writing expression. See you soon in the classroom! ===== ** NOTE ** - taking only students that are interested in 3 lessons per week or more ===== - Subjects I teach: - Lower level: Writing, History, Physical Ed. - GCSE: Writing, Computer Science, Physical Ed. - AS-level: Writing, Math, Biology and Physics. - A-Level: Biology. - Languages: Spanish (native speaker) and English as a second language. I completed Secondary School in Life Sciences and hold a Vocational School Diploma in Biomedical Science. I took first-year University courses in Chemistry and Engineering. These included subjects like Physics, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, Calculus, etc. Lastly, I'm a self-taught personal trainer. Throughout this particular academic endeavour, I studied biomechanics and anatomy, with a solid knowledge of their application to weightlifting.

A-Level: English, French, Italian, Montenegrian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian language Uni-Level: English, Montenegrian, Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian language, Law Exam board exp: IELTS test Experience with: The schooling system in England and Wales Languages: English, Italian, French, Montenegrian, Serbian, Bosnian Croatian Preferred student age group: Any About me: Hi everyone :) My name is Nikola and I am a lawyer in London. My past experience is narrowly related to the law and tutoring, while my past, present and future free time experience is exclusively reserved for sports, travelling and of course, my best friend Brik (he is one amazing labrador with a strong human personality). Even though I am a lawyer, my true passion was and still is to teach and do sports (literally any sports, however basketball and football do have an advantage among others). I have been playing basketball for the last 20 years now, and yes, that is my first true love, while my second passion was and still is to teach people and pass the knowledge I have. As I am from the Mediterranean coast, after all, my passion for food cannot pass undetected. I am a food lover, I enjoy cooking, trying out new specialities, and creating something on my own. Furthermore, I do love long walks, nature and guess what, movies. My favourite movie is Night in a Museum, as it has everything I like, history, comedy and yes, museums. Lastly, I am quite a sociable person and I love meeting new people with a different story on daily basis. Hope to see you soon in class :) My academic experience is linked with the University of Montenegro, where I have gained an undergraduate and postgraduate diploma in law and Swansea University where I have obtained an LLM certificate for International Commercial and Maritime Law. During my university experience at Swansea University, I have worked as an International Student Ambassador where my main duty was to help foreign students regarding the language barrier and application process. My teaching method is adapted to beginners up to advanced students. I already taught students from all around the world, with different levels. I try to create a relaxing atmosphere where students would not be stressed about exams while ensuring to obtain the best grade. I believe that every student is unique and has their own needs. Therefore my method is tailored to each student to reach their full potential in the language they want to learn. My goal is for you to be happy about your communication skills, whether it is for travelling, school or business. Indeed, if you are looking to get better at speaking at work, my experience will definitely help you. In the past, I helped the businessman and lawyers to improve their speaking skills (presentation, meetings, etc). I teach the English language and literature for beginners, students or professionals. Furthermore, I am doing preparation for the IELTS test. I also teach French language A1, A2 level. Furthermore, as a native speaker, I can teach you Montenegrin, Serbian, Croatian or Bosnian language. Last but not least, as an experienced lawyer, I do offer a possibility to tutor law students from a civil or common law background. I can't wait to see you soon in class.

Since joining GoStudent back in April 2023, I’ve had the incredible privilege of tutoring for over two years — and what a journey it has been! In that time, I’ve not only grown as a teacher but also as a communicator, motivator, and lifelong learner. My lessons are anything but “one-size-fits-all.” Every session is designed to spark curiosity, encourage outside-the-box thinking, and make learning genuinely enjoyable. I love giving students (and their families) the chance to shape the direction of our lessons — because when learning feels personal, progress happens naturally. For me, the most rewarding part of tutoring is watching students go from “I can’t” to “I can.” Whether it’s tackling tricky topics, preparing for exams, or simply rediscovering a love for learning, I’m here to celebrate every step forward and keep that momentum going. I studied at the UCL School of Pharmacy, where I am currently preparing to sit my final MPharm exams following a recent gap period. In October 2022, I proudly graduated with a First-Class MSci in Pharmaceutical Studies, a course that challenged me academically while also sparking my curiosity for problem-solving and research. Beyond the textbooks, I’ve always believed that learning should be creative and enjoyable. That’s why you’ll often find me making colourful, artsy study notes (which are slowly turning into a revision blog!), or bringing a creative twist into my lessons to help tricky concepts click. My education hasn’t just been about exams and grades — it’s also taught me how to stay curious, resilient, and open-minded, and I try to pass that on to every student I work with.

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?

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