This has helped them good grades not only in English but also in their other subject areas. While completing my A Levels I taught Maths privately; supporting students after school. I also used some of my lunchtimes to help lower years students improve their Maths too. My classes are always well prepared, and students are made to feel at ease. Student use controlled practice in class to make sure they understand what they have learned before they attempt to do exercises on their own. We use additional resources (charts, diagrams, pictures etc.) to help understanding too. As a person, I am patient, kind and enthusiastic.

I'm Sophie, I am 24 and I come from the Highlands of Scotland. I am an experienced tutor with three years experience on this platform alone with experience of tutoring privately and volunteering. I teach various subjects such as History, Biology, Human Biology, and English. I am extremely experienced in helping students build up their confidence and capability for their exams. I have personal experience with the SQA exam board but I have equal capability in teaching my subjects to other exam board standards and to students of any age and level. Outwith tutoring, I enjoy spending my time reading books, walking my two dogs and playing video games on my Xbox. Levels and Subjects: I teach National 4 and 5, Higher, Advanced Higher, GCSE and A-level for History, English Language and Literature, Biology and Human Biology for SQA, AQA, Edexcel, OCR, iGCSE. SEND Experience: I have autism and anxiety which allows me to understand students who may be experiencing similar issues that I faced in school. This allows me to share knowledge and learning techniques that better suit neurodivergent students. I have worked with students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism so I have an awareness of how these conditions affect everyone differently and can support the student accordingly. I have recently graduated from the University of St Andrews with a joint Masters in Ancient History and Medieval History (2:1). I have Advanced Higher qualifications in Biology (B)and History(A) and have Higher grades for Human Biology (A), P.E (A), Chemistry (C) and English (A) along with a National 5 qualification in Maths(B). Alongside my expansive range of History subjects I have studied at university, I have additionally studied Classics, Arabic Culture and Astrobiology. I am well versed in Ancient Roman and Greek history along with Medieval Europe, but I am equally knowledgable and capable with teaching more modern history topics. I am well read and have studied and taught the majority of texts required for English literature, with my favourites being 'An Inspector Calls' and 'Macbeth.' My Biology knowledge is strong across all exam boards and I have a particular interest in Astrobiology. Further I am very experienced with children from ages of 5 to 17, I volunteered for multiple sports groups in my area as a Sports Leader to run clubs and have gained an SQA recognised coaching qualification for netball.

Hello! :) My name is Cécile, I am twenty-five years of age and I possess a Bachelors Degree in Drama. I work full-time throughout the week; therefore, I enjoy assisting students with their studies, in the evenings. :) I started tutoring during my A-Levels (2016-2018), which then progressed to University and amazingly, up until present. A section of my degree concentrated on education (to which, I received a First) which inevitably led me, to continue with private tuition. I have been established on the GoStudent platform, since January 2022. In January 2024, I received my 500th lesson certificate. Up until today, I have delivered over 900 lessons on this platform, alone. Collectively, I have over nine years of tutoring experience but on a continuous basis, I will be hitting my four year anniversary, in January 2026. I teach the following subjects: Drama, English, History and French. Drama and English are both taught, up until Degree level. History is taught at both, GCSE & A-Level standard. French is taught either from Primary to GCSE standard or I do also teach the language to individuals, who are learning French, from scratch (I do also possess dual nationality). I also conduct lessons providing coursework and exam help. My education journey is, as follows: In 2016, I passed and achieved thirteen GCSE's, nine of which vary from B - A* grades. In 2018, I passed and achieved three A-Levels in Drama, History and Biology. In 2021, I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Drama which includes a First Class for my 'Education and the Performing Arts' module alongside my Dissertation. In 2024, I started my Cert CII and I am aiming to have my full Chartership in Insurance, by April 2026.

Originally from Manchester, I now live in Scotland with my cat, Gus. My enthusiasm for literature drives me to explore a wide range of perspectives through various genres, from captivating dystopian tales to poignant poetry. Additionally, I have a keen interest in TV, film, and creative writing, which adds a touch of imagination to our lessons. Right now, I'm immersed in crafting a collection of short stories that delve into the intricacies of human connections. I've also got a novel in the works that's really close to my heart. Excitingly, I'm also exploring opportunities for doctoral research, aiming to deepen my knowledge and appreciation of literature and language. But most importantly, I'm here to help you unleash your creativity and deepen your love for English. Let's embark on this journey together! Hello! I'm Ashleigh, and I'm thrilled to be your English tutor! With nearly a decade of tutoring experience, I'm here to navigate the complexities of language and literature alongside you. Whether we're dissecting Shakespearean prose or refining your creative writing skills, I aim to ensure that learning is both enriching and enjoyable. Here’s what I bring to the table: -GCSE English (KS3-KS4) (AQA Exam Board): I specialise in GCSE English, particularly tailored to the AQA exam board, but I’m adept at teaching English across the entire secondary education curriculum. Whether it’s analysing literature, mastering language skills, or acing exams, I’ve got you covered. -SQA English (National 5 and Higher): I’ve successfully guided students through the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) English courses at both National 5 and Higher levels. -Creative Writing: I offer engaging creative writing sessions where we’ll craft stories, poems, and explore language playfully. -Conversational English: Enhance your real-world communication skills. We’ll focus on conversational English, practical vocabulary, and cultural nuances. Whether you’re preparing for exams, seeking language enrichment, or simply passionate about words, I’m here to guide you. My academic journey includes earning two degrees from the University of Stirling: a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English Studies and a recent postgraduate degree in MLitt Creative Writing, where I graduated with distinction. This experience has deepened my understanding of storytelling and language, and I'm eager to share my insights with you, whether you're aspiring to be a novelist or simply aiming to enhance your conversational English skills. Currently, I'm furthering my teaching expertise through a Level 5 TEFL course. Beyond tutoring, my passion for writing extends to being a published short story writer and poet, and I also freelance as an editor in my spare time. Central to my teaching philosophy is fostering independent thinking and self-discovery. I firmly believe in empowering students to think critically and develop lifelong learning skills. My approach is professional yet relaxed, creating an environment where you feel encouraged to explore and express yourself freely. Whether you're grappling with exam anxiety, brimming with creative energy, or seeking to deepen your appreciation for the English language, I'm committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Levels and Subjects I teach: I’m an English and History teacher with GoStudent. I can teach these at GCSE and A Level. As a professional writer I can offer academic and creative writing classes to adults and higher level students. I am a teacher of environmental science. I have an MSc in Conservation Ecology and extensive field experience in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Having studied and worked as a professional actor, I can also offer Drama/Acting classes to A Level. Languages: Apart from English, I'm also a fluent Spanish speaker. Preferred student age groups: I prefer to work with students from 10 years and older (to adults), however I have worked with students from 6 years up. About me: I have been a professional travel, environment, and creative writer for the last 20 years, and a teacher for the last 9. I have a background in acting, drama and conservation ecology and when it comes to teaching I draw on these skills to make my classes as fun, dynamic, and interesting as possible. I often use roleplay, music, media, and games to enhance students learning and understanding. Learning is so much easier when it’s fun and thought-provoking. I teach students from young children to the executives of large companies. Outside of my roles as teacher and writer I have also worked as an actor, journalist, conservationist and professional mountain and nature tour guide and tour designer. I love wildplaces. When not working, I love hiking, film, theatre, acting, travel, snorkelling, diving, photography, and martial arts. I also run workshops in creative writing. I have an MSc in Conservation Ecology from Oxford Brookes University. I decided to do this degree after living and working in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia for many years. Living and working as a guide, writer, and conservationist in these places inspired my love of the natural world. My degree is in acting and performance art. I was lucky enough to attend East 15 Acting School (which is now part of the University of East London) to study. I worked as an actor for many years, and I often include roleplay and drama in my lessons. For my A levels I studied English (A), Art (A) and Geography (B).

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.

After the lesson, you can decide which membership model will best meet your child’s needs. The lessons will continue via our practical online platform using video chat and practical digital tools.
How much does private English tuition cost?
Prices for private English tuition can be as low as £21.99. The cost of each individual lesson will depend on how many lessons your child takes per week and how long they would like tuition for. Book a free trial session to see how affordable private English tutoring can be with GoStudent.
As well as English, does GoStudent offer private tuition in other subjects?
GoStudent can help give your child support with private English tuition as well as offering tuition for 40+ subjects. Select from a range of subjects including Chemistry, Physics, Spanish. Your child isn't tied into one subject with GoStudent. Maybe your child needs support with English now but as their needs change we can also offer tuition across different subjects.
What are the benefits of private English tutoring for your child?
There are many reasons why parents decide to hire a private English tutor. Some parents fear that they don’t have the knowledge to help their children with their English homework or exam preparation.

You can rest easy knowing that our tutors are experts in English and have the knowledge and teaching abilities to not only spark your child’s interest in the subject but also foster a lifelong love of learning.
