Hi! My name is ramisha and I have a degree in Biomedical Sciences and am currently doing a masters degree in Regenerative Medicine. Science is a great passion that I have, I’m surrounded by it daily and would have it no other way. As well as this, I’ve always had a love for English language and literature, and have always been a big reader. I hope that my passion for the subjects in turn helps students find their passion, and I hope to show them how to fall in love with learning the way I have.

Hi! I'm Sarah and I am passionate about teaching and education! The subject areas I tutor at Lower Level, GCSE and A-Level are English (Literature or Language) and History, with specialisms in Shakespeare and Mid 19th - Mid 20th Century literature, and England: 1066-1216. I have 4 years of teaching and childcare experience in a range of settings from nursery to school. In these roles, I have had specific Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) experience and training, including 2 years of 1:1 teaching with ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia. I am currently in my final year of my BA Education Studies Degree, studying at the University of Reading. I am happy working with all age groups, with no preference as to age or level of ability. I have a passion for musical theatre and the performing arts, having performed in many shows through school and university! I love reading and music, and have an eclectic taste for both - so I'd love to swap suggestions! Coming from a family of 7 children, a single mum, a low socio-economic background, and a secondary school that was in special measures, I know how tough exams and school can be; With so much pressure, feeling held back from reaching your full potential and feeling as though you're doing it alone, exams and grades can feel impossible! So, I can't wait to share all the tips, tricks, and knowledge I have to help students feel prepared, confident and happy, no matter their needs or background!

Lower Level: Beginner's Japanese, Beginner's French, Beginner's Russian GCSE: French, Russian, Japanese, English Language A-Level: English Language, Russian, Japanese Exam Board Experience: AQA: French, English Language Edexcel: Japanese, Russian Languages: British English (native speaker), Japanese (N3 certificate and university level, estimated B2), Russian (university level, estimated B2/C1), French (A-Level) Preferred Student Age Group: GCSE/A-Level (Any) About me: I'm an enthusiastic language student, musician and budding fantasy-sci-fi writer set to graduate this winter with at least a 2:1 in Japanese and Russian from the University of Leeds. During my studies, I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to help people in Japan and Russia improve their English skills so I understand how daunting languages can be. Whether you're hoping to improve your school grades, preparing for your exams, or just curious about learning a new language, I can tailor our classes to focus on the areas of language you struggle with the most and encourage relaxed communication from the start so you have the confidence to more freely use either your French, Japanese or Russian. I can also aid in English Language, particularly at A-Level.

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.
