Meine Muttersprache ist Englisch und ich studiere Philosophie in England. Ich unterrichte Englisch mit dem Ziel, die Sprache praxisnah zu vermitteln und dabei die Ausdrucksfähigkeit meiner Schüler*innen gezielt zu verbessern. Ich freue mich darauf, mit dir zu arbeiten! Ich habe meine GCSEs an der Westlands School und meine A-Levels an der Highsted Grammar School in Sittingbourne absolviert. In meinen GCSEs erhielt ich unter anderem die Note 9 in Englisch, Französisch und Geschichte sowie eine 8 in Mathematik. In meinen A-Levels erzielte ich ein A* in Englisch Literatur sowie As in Soziologie, Geschichte und Filmwissenschaft. Zurzeit studiere ich Philosophie (B.A.) an der University of Manchester. Ich spezialisiere mich besonders auf Geisteswissenschaften und Sprachen. Ich finde es faszinierend, wie Sprache unsere Gedanken beeinflusst. Dieses Interesse bringe ich mit Begeisterung in meinen Unterricht ein.

I am currently studying Economics and Statistics at University College London. I tutor Maths, English, Physics (only to GCSE), Chemistry (only to GCSE) and Economics currently. I enjoy playing and coaching chess in my spare time. I enjoy teaching because I find helping others succeed extremely rewarding and satisfying, and online tutoring is the easiest way for me to do this. I have LAMDA qualifications in speech and drama as well as public speaking. Furthermore, I have qualifications in statistics as this is what I specialise in. In addition, I enjoy sports, from football to table tennis and basketball. My truest passion, however, is in teaching and I hope you see this as I endeavour to help you with your studies.

I am currently training to become an English teacher, having gained extensive experience working with pupils with a wide range of needs—including SEN, EAL, and behavioural challenges—through previous roles as a tutor and SEN Teaching Assistant. I believe that every student has the right to a high-challenge education, regardless of their current attainment and specific learning needs. Reading and analysing literature helps us understand how stories capture the beauty and pain of human experience, a skill which every child should have the opportunity to develop. I was awarded a Distinction from University College London, where I completed a Master’s in Comparative Literature with a focus on Modernism and the Philosophy of Language. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in English, after which I worked as a Research Assistant and led a seminar on literature and philosophy.

I enjoy helping children overcome difficulties with speech and interpretation of the English language. I am qualified to teach English children(TEFL) and adults (CELTA). I have completed more than 7,000 practical lessons or 2,500 hours of teaching students online. I have 5 years worth of informal face-to-face teaching in a SundaySchool classroom. I have 20 years worth of experience training adults in the telecommunications sector. I successfully completed my first year of teachers training in 1979 and had to stop due to ill health.

Hello! I'm Catherine. My favourite book as a child was 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe,' and I've been in love with the written word ever since. With my degree in English Literature and Creative Writing under my belt, I now use my writing skills to run a successful copywriting and marketing business, but I also spend a lot of time training my clients and running evening classes for local women in business. I found that teaching and helping others brought me a lot of joy and fulfillment, which is why I decided to become a GoStudent Tutor. I take a supportive, friendly and encouraging approach when it comes to teaching, and enjoy thinking outside the box when required to keep lessons fun and engaging. When I'm not working or teaching, I enjoy spending time with my partner and 7-year-old stepson, walking my dog in the countryside, reading, and crafting.

Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm originally from Northern Ireland but I have lived in Scotland, France, Spain and now I reside in sunny Manchester. I have taught English, French and Spanish in Secondary Schools for the last few years. I believe that teaching cultural aspects alongside language is vital and I find that using music and TV are excellent ways to stay engaged with a language too. Let me know what you would like to work on or if you have any questions at all! I went to school in Northern Ireland where I got 6 A*s and 2 As. I then went on to study Spanish and French at the university of Stirling. After spending time teaching English in France and Spain, I did my PGCE training in Liverpool. I am also currently completing my TEFL certification at the moment. Other qualifications from my time at school include the Duke of Edinburgh awards.

My experience with Mrs. Adamantia is really good! I never had an issue with her or her way of teaching! Every time I said her that I would like to learn about these stuff on our next lessons, she was enthusiastic and always said yes and help me to decrease my mistakes that I had in English language! I really enjoy every single lesson with mrs. Adamantia! We have a strong connection and there's chemistry between us!

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.
