Hi! I’m Zanele — a creative, friendly, and positive person who loves connecting with others and making every moment meaningful. I enjoy exploring new ideas, listening to music, reading, and spending time with my family. I’m naturally curious and love learning about different cultures and ways of seeing the world. People often describe me as patient, kind, and full of energy — someone who makes others feel comfortable and inspired. I believe laughter, creativity, and confidence go hand in hand, and I always bring that spirit into everything I do. I hold a degree in Linguistics and a TEFL certification, with over six years of teaching experience. My studies and classroom experience have given me a strong understanding of language structure, communication, and how people learn best. This allows me to create lessons that are clear, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. I specialise in English language learning and literature, focusing on grammar, writing, reading comprehension, communication skills, and literary analysis. I also help students improve exam preparation, essay writing, and conversational fluency, tailoring lessons to each student’s individual needs and learning style.

I am a certified TESOL teacher who studied English at college, and law and business studies at university. I spent three years teaching English in Tokyo, Japan - first for a language school and then in business. Since returning to the UK, I have taught for many different companies and also as a private home tutor. I'm used to teaching adults and children of all ages and am accustomed to working towards examinations. As a tutor, it's important that my student feels comfortable and has confidence in my abilities to help them progress so I have a relaxed manner when teaching but with an eye on reaching targets. So we will look at the areas where you need help, look at your existing approach to learning and work out strategies to get you where you need to be. I enjoy writing and sometimes write content for websites. I'm also great at watching tennis - not so good at playing though. I spent lockdown doing a lot of baking with friends online and caught up on watching some of the films that I'd always been meaning to watch. Now that the world is opening up again, I'm keen to do some travelling and hopefully some watersports - two other passions of mine. I look forward to meeting you, to teaching you and to helping you!

I’m an enthusiastic individual, that is keen on teaching children, of all ages, up until A-level. I have many different hobbies, such as playing sports and cooking different recipes, which is something I carry out in my free time. I’m also multilingual, as I can speak both Bengali and Urdu fluently. I also have experience of teaching, as I ran my own personal tuition for primary school children, now moving unto secondary school, for English, which is something that I am carrying out now. I’m looking forward to teaching Primary school children, for both Maths and English, as well as English Language and English Literature for GCSE students, and in teaching Finance to A-level students. I have successfully achieved a grade 8 for English Literature, as well as a grade 6 for English language. In addition, I studied Finance as one of my A-level subjects and achieved an A*. I just completed my university degree in Accounting and Finance this year. I enjoy teaching a lot, and it’s something that I’ve always been passionate about, from a young age. I currently also work in a primary school alongside my studies which I recently completed, by doing 1-1 with SEN children, assisting them with their learning. This supports my ability to tutor as it gives me an insight into the different concepts children are learning in school, allowing me to provide my students with the help they need, as I'm aware of how important a child's education is, in shaping their future and I hope and wish to be a part of that. I am a recent graduate with a degree in Accounting and Finance, completed in 2024, and I achieved a First Class at the University of East London. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a robust understanding of financial principles, accounting practices, and the analytical skills necessary for a successful career in the finance industry. It's something that I am deeply passionate about and wish to carry on further into the future. I'm currently completing a postgraduate course that relates to my field of study (Accounting and Finance), to help me pursue my future career as a Chartered Accountant.

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.

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.

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