Hi! My name is Nikita, nice to meet you :) Levels and subjects I teach English and Maths up to KS3. Preferred Age group 0-14 years What to expect when we learn together: Patience - excellence can't be rushed, so we will take as much time as we need to make sure you understand a topic Adaptable Learning - every child learns differently, and I'll make sure we find a method that works for YOU I am here to HELP! - I don't give the answers away when I hear "I don't know". We will work together to remove the "don't". What I expect from you/your child Kindness and Respect - doesn't matter how many times you struggle, I will always remain calm and treat you with the kindness and respect you deserve. Please do the same for me. Engagement - 50 minutes can go by so fast, especially when you are paying attention! Punctuality - unless there is a valid reason for your absence, please turn up on time, ready for a full session. I'm a full time final year forensic psychology student at the University of Portsmouth, with tutoring as a part-time job I achieved a grade 7 in English Language, 8 in English Literature, and 5 in higher Maths. I also achieved grade 7 across all sciences. My hobbies are reading, being creative, and learning new skills. I started tutoring because I want to help other children progress in their learning and reach their full potential while being the helpful face I wish I had at their age! I hope we can work together to make learning a fun experience, and I look forward to helping you grow :) Nikita

About Me Primary level: Maths, English and Science GCSE: English, History and Religious Studies A Level: Government and Politics Degree: Law LLB First Class Honours Exam board exp: AQA, Edexcel and OCR Experience with: KS2/ KS3/ KS4/ 11+ and Government and Politics A Level English: English and Urdu Experience with: Autism Preferred student age group: 8-18 About me: Hi, I am Simra and I am a First Class Honours Law graduate I have a passion for teaching English. I believe in the importance of not only studying a subject but enjoying it too, and I feel that through my various methods of explanation, I would be able to engage the students positively. Every student deserves access to reach their full potential and I strive to do this in the best way for them. I understand that there is not an umbrella method of teaching and therefore I am happy to accommodate each student's way of learning. I know the importance of English not only in a school setting but in life in general and I want to equip the students with the best knowledge of English, that they can apply to all forms of life. I also thoroughly enjoy teaching KS2 and KS3 maths as I am very comfortable with the content. I know the various methods to make maths easier for someone who did not grasp maths as easily as I did English. History has always been my favourite subject both at GCSE and A level and I would love to share my passion and knowledge of the subject. I studied 10 GCSEs in a range of subjects and English and Humanities have always been my strength. Hence I have a passion for transferring my knowledge to other students. At A Level I studied Government and Politics, RS and History which were all essay-based subjects. Through studying these subjects I understand the importance of being to write eloquently and thoroughly which is a life skill, regardless of the career you decide to pursue. I have completed a LLB Law, with a First Class and I am currently studying the Bar Practice Course.

One of the best decisions we’ve made as a family. Our boy was 3-4 years behind at school who have been completely inept. We had to look outside of state provision in order to give him a chance of literacy and numeracy. The last 8 weeks have seen the most progress he’s made in 4 years. We had a wonderful welcome from Kristian and a simply brilliant teacher in Claire. We then have our designated support manager Adam who is always on hand to discuss any issues. This is a really classy operation. Their people are all on message and highly competent. I feel so great about the improvements my lad is making and the decision I made to engage Go student. We now have the comfort and security of having a 3 year agreement and we feel our son will be light years ahead of where he is now. All power to GoStudent and thank you.
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.
