Hi! I’m Teacher Kaia Avery, a passionate educator who believes that learning should always be fun, engaging, and meaningful. With two years of experience teaching both in the classroom and online, I have guided students of various ages and learning backgrounds across a diverse range of subjects, including Biology, Chemistry, English, Maths HL, Maths LL, Physics, and Science. I also help students prepare for major national and international exams such as the GCSE, A-Level exams, and standardized tests. I strive to create a supportive and confidence-building environment where students not only understand the lessons but also enjoy the process of discovering their strengths and growing academically. Let’s make learning an exciting and meaningful journey together! 🌟 In my lessons, I make sure that complex ideas are broken down into simple and clear explanations that students can easily understand. Whether it’s solving math problems or improving grammar and communication skills, I always connect lessons to real-life examples so learning feels relevant and practical. I also use a student-centered approach, allowing learners to take an active role in class through guided practice, discussions, and fun exercises. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Surigao del Norte State University, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. My undergraduate years allowed me to deepen my appreciation for mathematics—not only as a subject but as a tool that trains the mind to think critically and creatively. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Mathematics at Caraga State University to further enhance my expertise and stay updated with advanced mathematical concepts and modern teaching approaches. In addition to my academic background, I am TEFL-certified (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), which has equipped me with effective strategies for teaching English to non-native speakers and supporting learners of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. My teaching experience spans a wide range of subjects, including Biology, Chemistry, English, Maths HL, Maths LL, Physics, and Science. This diverse subject expertise allows me to guide students holistically—building their communication skills, strengthening their analytical abilities, and helping them grow across multiple areas of learning in an engaging, supportive environment.

Hi, my name is Rabiah. I’m a Psychology graduate from Loughborough University, currently working full-time as a mental health coach alongside tutoring. I’m an outgoing, positive, and approachable person who values building strong, supportive relationships with the students I work with. Working in mental health has deepened my understanding of how young people learn best — especially when they feel heard, motivated, and confident. I bring that same mindset into every tutoring session, creating a space that is both structured and calm, where students feel encouraged to ask questions, take ownership of their learning, and challenge themselves. Outside of work, I love traveling, socialising, and creating content for social media. During the pandemic, I also found a strong passion for giving back — and was proud to be recognised as a lead volunteer for the charity Penny Appeal. 👋 About Me - Hi, I’m a tutor with over 2,000 hours of experience since 2021, specialising in 11+, GCSE, and A-Level Psychology, English, and History. I’ve worked with students of all levels — from those aiming for top grades to those just looking to build confidence — and I always shape lessons around what really works for them. I studied English Literature, Psychology, and History at A-Level, and went on to earn a degree in Psychology from a top 10 UK university. I’ve always had a passion for writing and learning, and I bring that energy into every session. ✏️ How My Lessons Work - My sessions are fun, relaxed, but structured. I like to create a collaborative space, where the student has a voice in what we cover and how we work — whether that’s preparing for an upcoming mock, tackling a difficult topic, or building long-term skills. At the start of each session, I include a short activity (like a spelling challenge or mind map) to activate the brain and get focused. I bring in creative tools, real-life examples, and even storytelling — especially in History — to keep students engaged and make concepts stick. 💬 What Students Love- Students often tell me they enjoy the mix of freedom and structure in lessons. I adapt my teaching style to suit them — whether they prefer visuals, discussion, writing practice, or a bit of everything. I’ve found that when students feel heard and involved, they become more motivated and independent learners. 🎯 Results I’m Proud Of - - Helped a student go from a grade 6 to 8 in both English Literature and Language - Supported a struggling History student to achieve a Grade A in their GCSE - Helped many students pass 11+ exams and gain places at selective grammar schools - Built exam confidence and readiness for those aiming for college and university offers I’ve also helped with homework support, long-term exam planning, and short bursts of intensive revision — I’m flexible depending on what the student needs. 👩🏫 A Bit More About Me - Alongside tutoring, I’ve had real-life experience understanding children’s needs — I’m also the older sibling to seven younger brothers and sisters, which has taught me more than any textbook ever could! I’m patient, understanding, and always ready to encourage students to reach beyond what they thought they could do. Tutoring isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Seeing my students grow in confidence, learn to think independently, and make week-by-week progress (no matter how small) is what keeps me going.

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.
