Hi there! My name is Omasiri, and I am a second-year LLB Law student at the University of Brighton. I teach GCSE History and Sociology, and I teach English from KS2 to GCSE. For GCSE exam boards, I am strictly AQA only. I believe that teaching should be fun and personalised so that everyone has their best chance at succeeding, as every person experiences and processes things differently. I studied 7 GCSEs and 1 BTEC at The Aylesbury Vale Academy. My subjects and grades were the following: Mathematics (6), Double Science (6,6), English Literature (7), English Language (7), History (7), Music (7), Spanish (7), and a Level 1 & 2 TEC Award in Performing Arts (Distinction* = 9). For A-levels, I studied at a grammar school called Aylesbury High School. These are the subjects I took and the grades I got: English Literature (B), History (B), Psychology (C), and an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) on The Necessity of the Right to Silence and Diplomatic Immunity to the Criminal Justice System (C). Now I am a law student who finished their first year with a 2:1, striving to graduate with a 1st and go into being a solicitor or work within the legal sector of large business firms.

I have been teaching English online for over three-years now. This has included English as a foreign language and GCSE/ A level English literature and language. I graduated last year with a first-class degree in English literature and Language in Cardiff University and received a scholarship in my second year for being the best performing pupil in my cohort. English teaching has long been a passion of mine and my role has evolved to encompass academic writing support, something that I feel should be taught in school and is sought after by examiners across all exam boards. My students always achieve their goals through hard work, regular tutoring and lots of writing practice! I am currently a part-time Master's student of a TESOL and Education programme in Cardiff and my intention is to lecture this subject in the near future after my PHD. Alongside my own studying, I volunteer at an asylum-seeker charity 4 hours a week teaching adults basic skills such as digital literacy, English communication and life skills. I am also responsible for about 4 young learners who I have taught consistently over the last three-years. Please read some of my lovely pupils' comments about their online tutoring experience with me below: -

As a passionate and dedicated Electrical Engineering student entering my third year, I have not only mastered core technical subjects but have also discovered a genuine enthusiasm for explaining these complex concepts to others. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and fundamental engineering principles. I understand the challenges students can face with these demanding subjects because I navigate them daily myself. This allows me to connect with learners, identify their specific stumbling blocks, and break down intimidating topics into clear, manageable steps. I believe patience and clear communication are just as important as technical knowledge, and I am committed to helping students build both confidence and competence. My experience extends beyond solo achievement. Through countless group projects and study sessions, I have honed my ability to collaborate and explain ideas to peers with different learning styles. This has solidified my belief that a supportive, encouraging environment is key to academic growth—a philosophy I know aligns with the values at GoStudent. My well-rounded personality, which includes the teamwork of soccer, the discipline of running, and the focus found in reading, helps me connect with students on a personal level. I am not just a tutor; I am a mentor who understands the pressures and goals of being a student. Ultimately, my family-oriented background has instilled in me the values of patience, encouragement, and the importance of helping others succeed. I am eager to bring this supportive and dynamic approach to GoStudent, and I am excited by the prospect of helping my peers unlock their potential and achieve their academic goals in subjects like Math, Physics, and introductory Engineering. My educational journey has provided me with a strong and diverse academic foundation, culminating in my current specialized field of study. I began my studies at Cenaturi Combined School, where I attended from Grade 1 through Grade 7. This formative period was crucial in instilling in me the core principles of discipline and a lifelong love for learning, particularly in mathematics and science. For my secondary education, I attended Thohoyandou Secondary School, where I further developed this academic focus. The rigorous curriculum in subjects like Physical Science and Advanced Mathematics was instrumental in preparing me for the challenges of higher education and solidified my ambition to pursue a field rooted in technical problem-solving and innovation. I am currently advancing my studies at the University of Johannesburg, where I am enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering program specializing in Electrical Engineering. My coursework has provided me with a deep and practical understanding of key engineering principles. I am actively developing specializations in several core areas, including: Electronic Circuit Design: Analyzing and designing analog and digital circuits. Power Systems: Understanding the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. Signal Processing: Learning techniques to analyze and manipulate analog and digital signals. Engineering Mathematics: Applying advanced mathematical concepts to solve complex engineering problems. This technical knowledge, combined with the fundamental skills built throughout my schooling, allows me to confidently tutor subjects like Mathematics and Physical Science. I can explain not only the 'how' but also the 'why,' by connecting school-level topics to their real-world engineering applications, making learning more engaging and meaningful for my students.

Having grown up in Spain for half of my life (15 years) I have always had a passion for languages and travel. I speak English and Spanish bi-lingually and so decided to undergo a career change from sales and marketing to a career in teaching languages as I believe they are so important. I want fulfillment in my career and the opportunity to meet people who are more like-minded sounds very exciting. I believe I am a passionate tutor, professional and fun with good energy and a positive outlook on life and look forward to the challenges ahead. I have lived and worked in Sydney, Santiago, Paris and Barcelona and have been fascinated by the amount of people who recommended me to begin a career in education. I hope I get the opportunity to fulfil this dream with yourselves and I look forward to tutoring here and beginning my PGCE in September!

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.

Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.
