Hello there! Hope you are well. My name is Joshua Hailey and my pronouns are he/him. I have been an online tutor for over three years, and I hope this 'About Me' section gives you an insight into who I am and my teaching style. Before I go into more detail about who I am, I would urge you to read the reviews, (also on this page), from some of my current and past parents whose children I am teaching/have taught! These statements can help you make an informed decision and, (hopefully), choose me as your child's next tutor. I am an English Literature BA (Hons) graduate who studied at the University of Portsmouth. I also have a Masters in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. With over three years tutoring experience, a strong work ethic and excellent time management skills, I have challenged and supported students across all educational stages, including primary school pupils right up to A Level students! I want your child to succeed and I truly believe they can do this! My lessons are varied, fun, but get the work done! Education is not 'one size fits all', and online tutoring is the perfect example of this. My sessions will see your child grow from strength to strength, as they learn new concepts and methods of success in their respective subject. You will not find me simply reading off a screen for the entire lesson, but you can expect interactivity to drive every single lesson that I will (hopefully) have with your child! In addition to English tuition, I also offer Primary Maths, 11+ and History. I have experience supporting students in all these subjects, and have completed them to a GCSE/A Level standard (for more information on this, please see my 'Academic Background' section). In summary, I promise to adopt a customised learning plan and positive ethos for your child across all sessions. As the parent, you deserve to feel included in your child's progress. I will endeavour to regularly update you through messages, comprehensive written reports and periodic phone calls should you want them! Here is a full list of the subjects I offer depending on the age of your child: Reception-Year 9: Maths (Primary age only), English Language, English Literature, SPaG, Reading, Comprehension, Literacy, History, 11+ (For 11+ I can only offer English and Verbal Reasoning so please keep this in mind.) GCSE: History, (Edexcel and AQA), English Language (including the Speaking and Listening component), English Literature (AQA or Edexcel), SPaG, Reading skills Exam Board Experience: AQA and Edexcel Languages I speak: English SND Experience: Little to no real-life experience, but I have had mentoring from an SND tutor So... what are you waiting for!

I have completed a Masters degree in Modern and Contemporary Literature from the University of Leicester. Below are my other qualifications and their examination boards. If you decide to choose me as the tutor for your child I am more than happy to go into detail about my qualifications at your first session!

Hi, I'm Kyra! I'm a First-Class English Language and Literature graduate from the University of Oxford and an experienced tutor who loves helping students grow in confidence and achieve their goals. Over the past few years, I've worked with students of different ages and abilities, supporting them with English, essay writing, exam preparation, and university applications. Whether you're aiming for top grades, preparing for an entrance exam, or simply looking to feel more confident in the classroom, I tailor each lesson to your individual needs and learning style. My teaching approach is friendly, encouraging, and structured. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes, so I focus on creating a supportive environment while also helping them develop strong academic skills and independence. As an Oxford graduate, I particularly enjoy helping students develop critical thinking, clear communication, and a genuine enjoyment of learning. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a student realise what they're capable of. I look forward to helping you reach your goals! 😊 Education has been at the heart of my work since graduating from the University of Oxford with a First-Class degree in English Language and Literature. Over the past several years, I have taught students from a wide range of backgrounds, ages, and ability levels, both in the UK and internationally. My experience spans one-to-one tutoring, small-group teaching, online learning, curriculum design, and academic mentoring. I have worked extensively as an English tutor, supporting students with reading comprehension, analytical writing, essay structure, grammar, and exam technique. My students have included primary school pupils building core literacy skills, secondary school students preparing for GCSEs and A Levels, and university applicants seeking support with personal statements, interviews, and academic writing. Through this work, I have developed a strong understanding of how to adapt my teaching to different learning styles, helping each student build confidence alongside academic ability. A significant part of my experience has involved supporting students through competitive applications. I have guided students preparing for Oxbridge admissions, helping them develop critical thinking skills, refine written work, and prepare for interviews. I have also worked with students applying to selective schools and sixth-form programmes, providing tailored support with entrance examinations, interview preparation, and academic enrichment. Alongside teaching, I have managed the administrative side of educational programmes, coordinating schedules, tracking student progress, communicating with parents, and creating personalised learning plans. This experience has given me a broad understanding of the educational journey from both the student's and family's perspective, allowing me to provide organised, goal-oriented support. My teaching has also taken me beyond the UK. While working remotely and from educational hubs in Mexico, I taught students across different time zones and cultural backgrounds, developing the flexibility and communication skills needed to work effectively with international learners. This experience strengthened my ability to build rapport quickly and adapt lessons to diverse educational contexts. What I enjoy most about education is helping students discover confidence in their own abilities. While academic results are important, I believe the most meaningful progress comes when students learn how to think independently, communicate clearly, and approach challenges with curiosity rather than fear. My goal is always to create a supportive, engaging environment where students feel empowered to achieve their potential.
