Primary: English, Computer Science GCSE: English, Computer Science Exam board exp: AQA/ Edexcel Experience with: KS1/ KS2/ KS3 Preferred student age group: Primary/ GCSE level Hello! My name's Charlotte. In my personal life, you can find me mountain biking, kayaking, camping or generally anything outdoors- I love to challenge myself! I do, however, equally enjoy reading a good book with a cup of hot chocolate. I am a trainee Counselling Psychologist on the Doctorate in Counselling Psychology course (ProfDoc). I also have a Masters (MSc) degree in Applied Psychology (Psychological therapies) and a Bachelors (BSc) degree in Psychology. In addition, I am a Support Worker (p/t) in a hospital setting and have over 100 hours of experience working as a trainee counselling psychologist. This has allowed me to feel confident in supporting a wide range of individuals in empowering themselves to overcome difficulties. My academic experience includes writing reports, conducting research and analysing results. I also have practical experience working collaboratively with clients and planning sessions to work towards their identified goals. As a tutor, I feel my skills lend themselves to supporting children and young people with English Language and Literature. I am well versed in planning and structuring an assignment, critically analysing text and context, and presenting complex ideas in a clear, focused way. I am also able to contrast and compare a variety of different writing styles. My focus as a tutor is to provide gentle guidance to encourage students to begin to feel confident in their own skills. I will work collaboratively with the student/ parent to identify goals and seek feedback on progress in order to achieve the best outcomes.

Hi there! I'm English tutor Daniela and I have taught English for more than 10 years. I started teaching English in 2011 when I was still a college student. This was an online teaching job in which I was tasked with assisting the employees of a large oil company with their e-learning course. Later on in 2014, I was offered a teaching position at the university where I had graduated from. I taught English as a second language to more than 5000 students over the course of 5 years. In 2019, I moved to Spain and decided to resume my online teaching career. During these last 3 years, I have taught English to young learners and adults from multiple nationalities and linguistic backgrounds. During all these years, I have met wonderful and smart students from lots of countries across the globe. Each student I have encountered along the way has taught me that learning takes place when you feel safe, comfortable, understood and above all when you are having a great time. The most fundamental aspect I always bear in mind when I teach a lesson is: students do not learn from people who they do not like. Fun memories stick with us. Speaking of fun things, I love learning about philosophy, learning new languages, reading and watching animated as well as sci-fi movies. A language must be seen as something that is alive not as a static set of rules in a book. My intention in every class will show you how language is all about real communication and how context is everything in language learning. There are great habits that effective language learners need to develop and I will share them with you, so that you optimize your learning process. After graduating from high school, I immediately started my bachelor’s degree in the teaching of English as a second language. I graduated from university in 2013 with the bachelor’s thesis: “A professional development program in the public school Hugo Angel Jaramillo through pondering upon content and language integrated learning” and became an English teacher. While I was still carrying out my university studies, I took the TKT course and test. TKT stands for Teaching Knowledge Test and it is offered by the University of Cambridge. The course as well as the test have three modules. Module 1: Language and background to language learning and teaching. Module 2: Lesson planning and use of resources for language teaching. Module 3: Managing the teaching and learning process. Later on in 2019, I took a 120 hour TESOL certificate course which allowed me to brush up on some teaching basics. In 2020, I started my master’s degree in the teaching of English and Spanish as foreign and/or second languages in the University of Alicante. I graduated in 2021 with the master’s thesis “Implementing an online gamified flipped classroom to address emerging shortcomings in the rapidly evolving EMI field”.

Hi there! I’m Ekom and I’m so excited to be your guide on your learning journey. With a passion for the Sciences, I specialize in teaching Psychology, Chemistry, and Biology. I believe that every student has a unique strength, and my goal is to help you tap into it so you can excel academically. I’ve always been fascinated by how the world works, whether it’s the human mind in Psychology, the reactions that drive Chemistry, or the relation of Biology to human life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students not only improve their grades but also understand these subjects. If you’re struggling with difficult concepts or just want to widen your knowledge, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I try to make learning engaging and relatable by using real-life examples to make complex topics easier to comprehend. Asides teaching, I love to watch TV shows like Friends, try out new cooking recipes and go on walks with my dog. Together, we’ll take on challenges, set goals, and celebrate your progress. I’m here to help you reach your full potential. Let’s make learning interesting and fun—looking forward to seeing you in class! My academic journey is rooted in a deep passion for the Sciences, which has been cultivated through years of study and practical experience. I hold a degree in Pharmacy from the University of Uyo, where I studied the disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Psychology. Throughout my time at university, I gained a solid foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical application, which allow me to approach complex concepts with clarity and insight. After collecting my University degree, I practiced as a Pharmacist in a General Hospital and spent a year working in the Psychiatry department, gaining practical knowledge in Psychology and Psychiatry. I have honed my teaching skills through a tutoring experience that has spanned 4 years. Having tutored students from various educational backgrounds, I am now skilled at breaking down complicated material and tailoring lessons to each student’s individual needs. With years of experience in both one-on-one tutoring and group sessions, I’ve developed an intuitive understanding of the challenges students face and how to guide them through these challenges effectively. I’ve worked with students preparing for various exams, including GCSEs, A-Levels, and University entrance exams. I tailor my teaching style to suit the Exam board and Syllabus using specific past question papers and marking schemes. Through continuous professional development, I stay up-to-date with the latest educational trends and advancements in the Sciences, ensuring I provide students with the best, most current resources and strategies for success.

Hi, my name is Jasmine, I am 23 years old and I am from Bath, England. My favourite pastimes include reading, writing, painting and watching films/television series. Teaching is also a passion of mine and I am looking forward to helping you improve your English skills in a relaxed and supportive environment. I have just finished the final year of my degree studying French and German at the University of Bristol. As part of my course I taught English as a foreign language in Austria for 6 months to a range of age groups in two different schools. This experience was very enjoyable as I was asked to plan and deliver a range of lessons around many different topics, from culture and history, to sport, music and politics, all of which I found very interesting to research and discuss with my classes. I am currently living in France, working as a teaching assistant in Bordeaux, with the hope of starting a Master's course the following year. I believe my spoken and written English is of a very high standard, having studied this subject at A level.

Hello! My name is Caroline and I am a native English speaker who grew up in New Zealand. I moved to Germany in 2019 to start my masters degree in performance music at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. I have always really enjoyed teaching music and through learning German as a second language, I realised my passion for languages and language teaching. I have been teaching English for a year and I am now working on an online TESOL course for English teaching. My hobbies include sports such as football, tennis and table tennis. I also enjoy origami and learning languages (I am working on a B2 certificate in German). My approach to teaching is to create a positive and interesting learning environment. It is my goal for students to enjoy their lessons so they are more likely to want to keep learning and to want to practice and improve themselves outside of lesson times. Associating positive energy and experiences to learning will be what keeps you motivated longterm. I am of course happy to discuss with students what they are looking to work on and set goals with them for what they want to achieve through these lessons. I think of myself as a very patient and positive person, so I can adapt to the speed/different paces of a student's learning without pressure or stress. I am also very interested in teaching violin/viola/music lessons if anyone is interested in these, as that is a huge passion of mine and is what I have been working on throughout my degrees. I look forward to hearing from you :) - Bachelor of music degree from The University of Auckland (New Zealand) - First Class Honours degree from The University of Auckland. - Masters degree from the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main (current). - B1-TELC German certificate

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.

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