Karen M.

I’m a native Spanish speaker an theatre nurse from Argentina, TEFL-certified, and experienced in teaching English and Spanish to students of all ages. I use a communicative, student-centred approach, helping learners gain confidence, improve fluency, and reach their goals in a friendly, supportive environment. I hold a university qualification in teaching English as a Second Language and have been a certified TEFL teacher since 2014. I also trained as a theatre nurse in Buenos Aires, which developed my communication, organisation, and patience — skills I bring to my teaching practice.

Hi, I’m Maite! I’m a native German speaker and teach German at all levels — Primary, GCSE, and A-Level. Besides German and English, I also speak French and Spanish. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies with a minor in Educational Science, which deepened my understanding of cross-cultural learning, communication, and how to make complex ideas accessible. During my time at university, I spent over three years tutoring children of different ages, working in a programme led by the German federal government to support children from migrant and refugee backgrounds in their school learning. I am now excited to work with adults as well. When I think back to my own school years, the teachers who inspired me most were those whose honest passion made even my least favourite subjects enjoyable. That’s the atmosphere I aim to create in my lessons: engaging, light, and enjoyable. Outside tutoring, I teach meditation and mindfulness and support a charity creatively, which helps me bring patience, flexibility, and creativity into my teaching. I tailor lessons to each student — whether you need grammar support, speaking practice, exam preparation, or a personalised lesson to build confidence at your own pace, or simply want to learn German out of interest and enjoyment. I hold a BA in Cultural Studies and Educational Science, which I completed at Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany. I specialised in cultural theory and visual culture and spent an Erasmus semester at Université Bordeaux Montaigne in France. In addition, I hold a Yoga Alliance–approved 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certificate, complemented by an additional 50 hours of training in meditation.

Data Engineer working for Jaguar Land Rover with a BSc in Digital and Technology Solutions from the University of Warwick. An athlete training regularly. Skilled in Public Speaking, Leadership, and Microsoft Office. A strong business development professional with A-Levels focused in Maths, Physics, and Business from Sixth Form College. I graduated from the University of Warwick in Digital and Technology Solutions, specialising in Data Analytics. This course provided me with a wealth of knowledge relating to Maths, Business and Computer Science that I can share with you as my student.

I am a dedicated and passionate teacher who believes in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. I enjoy helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence and curiosity. I value patience, clear communication, and lifelong learning. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading, learning new skills, and finding creative ways to bring lessons to life. I appreciate meaningful conversations, organization, and collaboration, and I’m looking to connect with people who value education, responsibility, and personal growth. I am a dedicated and patient tutor with a strong academic background and a genuine passion for supporting students to achieve their full potential. I hold IGCSE qualifications in Mathematics, English Literature, and English Language, as well as a GCSE in Psychology. In addition, I have completed NCFE CACHE Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Supporting Teaching and Learning, which have provided me with a solid foundation in educational practice, child development, and effective classroom support strategies. Through my professional experience, I have worked closely with children across a range of abilities, including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This has strengthened my ability to adapt lessons to suit individual learning styles, break down complex concepts into manageable steps, and create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. I understand that every learner is unique, and I take pride in tailoring my tutoring approach to meet each student’s academic and emotional needs. As a tutor, I aim to build confidence as well as subject knowledge. I believe that when students feel understood and supported, they are more motivated and willing to engage with their learning. I use clear explanations, structured guidance, and positive reinforcement to help students overcome challenges and develop independent learning skills. My background in psychology also allows me to recognise potential learning barriers and respond with patience and empathy. I am committed, organised, and reliable, and I value clear communication with both students and parents to ensure progress is monitored effectively. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their grades, but also to foster a positive attitude towards learning that will benefit them long beyond their studies.
