Pioneering & Unique Methodology Guaranteed to Support You to Master Chinese ASAP!
Enjoy a FREE 1-Hour Trial!
As a professional and creative native Chinese teacher, I have over 10 years of experience showcasing skilful teaching abilities in successfully teaching Chinese to support a diverse array of students.
I am deeply passionate about my work, dedicating myself fully to teaching and my students. Consequently, I have effectively instructed Chinese and derive significant fulfilment from the strong recognition received from my students. Back in China, I taught English at a university and was recognized as an Excellent Teacher.
My ultimate objective is to facilitate students' mastery of Chinese in the most efficient manner possible. To achieve this, I have designed innovative and unconventional teaching methods that allow learners to engage with and acquire the language while maximizing their satisfaction and success.
I offer extensive tuition for all ages and proficiency levels.
The courses currently available include: HSK (Levels 1-9), HSKK (Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced), GCSE Chinese, Chinese for kids and primary school students, Chinese for adults, Chinese for A Levels, Chinese for university undergraduates, travel Chinese, and business Chinese.
Here are some examples of the courses -
BEGINNER'S MASTERY COURSE (20 hours): Ensure an excellent command of the Chinese pronunciation system, including challenging tones; learn 300-400 commonly used words and 10 fundamental daily conversational scenarios.
GCSE ELEVATION COURSE (in the shortest or necessary timeframe): Assist students in boosting their scores from Fail/C to A/A*.
A-LEVEL EXCELLENCE COURSE (in the shortest or necessary timeframe): Assist students in attaining A/A* grades to facilitate their path to university degree studies.
BUSINESS SPEEDY COURSE (20 hours): Ensure effective and fundamental communication with Chinese business partners to establish a solid working relationship and project an impressive corporate image.
INTENSIVE COURSE (2 hours per session; not recommended for children): Helps students acquire 40-50 Chinese words in just 2 hours (ideal for exam candidates with time constraints; I've crafted this distinctive teaching method to guarantee that students can learn 40-50 Chinese words by the end of a 2-hour session).
I Utilize Various Teaching Skills and Techniques to Address Individual Needs -
Each learner is unique and absorbs information in their own way, so I apply various teaching strategies and techniques tailored to each individual. To illustrate my approach, I categorize learners into children and adults. Children typically have a limited attention span but are drawn to games, stories, songs, and rhymes, so I incorporate interactive activities of this nature into the classroom. This approach helps words and sentences to be absorbed more easily and naturally, keeping the children fully focused and engaged. Colourful flashcards are both enjoyable and effective. After providing guidance and demonstrations, I encourage young learners to creatively construct their own phrases and simple sentences. The children enjoy this process and perform exceptionally well.
To maintain motivation and inspiration among adult learners, I encourage and support them to take charge of the class. I help them engage in various thinking and communication exercises after they've understood the theoretical information and knowledge. I deliberately guide students to use the target language by incorporating it into daily activities and familiar environments as language resources. This approach sparks curiosity, prompting learners to construct sentences that reflect real-life situations.
Teaching Experience:
Below are some testimonials from my students -
"Ning has been, not only an absolutely extraordinary teacher, but an incredible mentor. To nurture an environment where one can practice Chinese in comfort and without feeling judged takes tremendous skill - and Ning achieves it with effortless ease. From the first lesson, her dedication and commitment were apparent. She creates a plethora of extra resources outside of lessons to aid the individual's needs. The well of experience and knowledge she brings to the table are unmatched, and that coupled with her mastery of English has formed a very rich and diverse environment for learning. She is a true linguist and her passion for language-learning is infectious.
It is fair to say I arrived to her lessons not knowing an ounce of Chinese, not even that 'nǐ hǎo' meant 'hello'. Ning somehow took that and fostered an environment for learning that resulted in my achieving a 100% in my first HSK examination. However, It is safe to say that Ning's lessons go beyond HSK. She teaches you true Mandarin. Her in-depth explanation of grammar structures and idioms will provide you an understanding of Chinese so rich that confidence in speech will be the natural result. If it is real understanding and professional teaching you seek, then Ning is the absolute best choice of tutor. I could sing her praises until I am red in the face!!! I am very thankful for all that she has done to help me."
- Eli
"If it wasn't for Ning and her constant support and patience, I would have probably given up on learning Chinese at university!
I have gone from not being able to string a Chinese sentence together to achieving a 2:1 on my final exam, all in the space of 6 months.
Ning goes above and beyond to ensure that learning material is tailored to individual needs of the student, suiting all abilities. Her supporting and encouraging nature makes learning much more enjoyable and I highly recommend her to anyone."
- Aishia
"Our daughter is studying Chinese at degree level and we were concerned about how unhappy she felt, her confidence had been battered and she was on the brink of leaving the course and dismayed at the thought of sitting her January exams.
I found a selection of 4 tutors who were available to support our daughter and her learning via Skype, Ning immediately stood out by her interested and enthusiastic approach to my enquiry, she was the only tutor that researched the particular University course, the modules and the learning requirements.
It was immediately apparent how Ning goes above and beyond as she is genuinely passionate about her students and their learning.
Ning was originally asked to support our daughter through her revision period to her exams (5 weeks) however the change in my daughter and her thoughts about learning Chinese was incredible.
I could see that Ning's approach was patient, restoring some of her confidence, helping her understand what she was learning and helping her achieve the grades she was happy with.
Over the last 6 months I have seen that Ning is very flexible, committed, reliable and ensures that all lessons are specific to our daughter and her stage and style of learning.
She spends time preparing work in between lessons and sets work that is relevant and applicable to the direct course. Ning is quick and efficient in reviewing work, sets homework and learning materials, she provides accurate, supportive and encouraging feedback and even increases her time with my daughter around her exams (even when she is on holiday!).
Because of Ning and her support she made our daughter believe she could do it and her end of year exams were graded as a 2:1. She is looking forward to moving to Taiwan for her year study in August, Ning continues to provide lessons helping her to prepare to move and further increase her confidence to face her new course and life in Taiwan.
As parents I am extremely grateful to Ning, impressed by her commitment and enthusiasm and would highly recommend her to support students at any level and look forward to her continuing to support our daughter through the rest of her degree. Thank you Ning!"
- Mr & Mrs Diment (Aishia's parents)
"Ning rekindled my love of learning Chinese and she was friendly and really easy to chat to, and I really enjoyed my lessons with her.
She never made me feel stupid if I found something difficult. She was always really well prepared for my lessons and told me what I needed to do and to bring, and she always had everything that she needed.
She had loads of good ideas to help me learn. She worked really hard to help me do well.
I got an A in my GCSE Chinese after I'd been learning with Ning for only six months; a year later I got 266/300 in HSK3 and 77/100 in HSKK."
- Delilah
"Ning has been brilliant at taking my daughter through GCSE Mandarin.
She made a careful plan to take my daughter through the syllabus, taught her really well and thoroughly, and is very supportive and encouraging. I could trust her completely.
My daughter so much enjoyed learning Mandarin with Ning that she has decided to continue lessons with her to take a higher qualification in Mandarin."
- Kate (Delilah's Mum)
"I got an A* on my reading and listening, an A on my writing and a B on my speaking. So overall, I got an A!!! Thank you so much for your time and patience, Ning. I'm over the moon with my results!"
- Caitlin
"When arriving into the UK from Hong Kong, our daughter took the decision to progress her Mandarin studies through to GCSE level. She had not been on a GCSE curriculum in Hong Kong, so this was a difficult task for her.
The school was unable to provide a Mandarin tutor for the two year programme. We located and contacted Ning, who provided one hour, one-to-one tutelage per week over the two years. She struck a good relationship with our daughter right from the start, being very patient though also setting challenging but realistic tasks for completion between lessons.
Ning also helped with the arrangements for sitting the GCSE, as the school needed some reminding in this area.
Throughout the two years, Ning did not miss a single appointment. She always arrived on time, but often stayed longer.
Our daughter gained A grade overall in GCSE Chinese. She would not have been able to do this without Ning.
Thanks Ning!!"
- Andy (Dad of Caitlin)
"Ning, I got an A!! Thank you so much for all that you helped me with (it was more than just Chinese in the end). I really couldn't have done it without you."
- Niamh
"You are an absolute super-star tutor, Ning - thank you so much. You have helped Niamh more than we could have imagined in (GCSE) Chinese, her confidence and learning in general."
- Bonnie (Mum of Niamh)
"Ning is an exceptional tutor, I have made more progress in a few months than I had in years before she took me under her tutorage. She is methodical, yet flexible in her approach providing me with exactly what I need. There is always additional effort prior and after the lesson to produce specific materials and focus on areas of weakness which results in tangible, and speedy improvement which excels any expectations I had going in. Add to this the fact Ning is very friendly and (importantly in my case) patient I am finding my lessons an absolute delight!"
- Christopher
"Of all the mandarin tutors our children have had, they believe that Ning has been by far the best.
Ning is a friendly, supportive and responsible tutor. She engages well and creates an excellent relationship with both our 6 & 11 year olds.
She customises work according to their needs and standard. She makes learning fun, particularly with our younger child, whilst ensuring an intellectual direction for our eldest.
She has led our eldest to achieve an excellent standard in his first ever mandarin test (YCT). Helping him achieve an excellent 180/200 after only 1 year of lessons, Ning has shown significant effort in preparing for everything relating to the test.
The children learn many new words in each session; Ning records their speech and sends it to us. This also allows us to share with family and friends abroad; leading to compliments on how well they are doing. It is great to keep everyone updated. We feel proud of them, following the excellent feedback.
Our children show obvious improvement each week. It is clear that they understand more, using more complicated mandarin words and sentence structures. This helps to show us what an amazing job she has done.
Our children have clearly become more confident and understanding in their mandarin over our first year with Ning. We look forward to further improvement moving forward.
We are delighted to have found Ning and most importantly, that our kids are enjoying their time learning with her.
We couldn't be more satisfied with her professionalism, teaching skill and overall service provided. We truly couldn't have asked for a better tutor!"
- Niki (Mum of Ethan & Violet)
"I began studying with Ning in January 2019 with no prior knowledge of Chinese. Three weeks later I took a Chinese proficiency test and placed at mid-novice level (the test was aimed at people who had 120+ hours learning time, I had eight hours under my belt). She was focused on making sure I got as many marks as possible for that test, emphasizing vocabulary and listening comprehension. I wanted to do well for myself, but I also wanted her to be proud of me.
Ning has been instrumental at helping me understand grammar and syntax through everyday scenarios I am likely to encounter overseas, while at the same time increasing my vocabulary.
Her classes are tailored and goal-specific. Ning puts a lot of thought into her teaching materials, so much consideration that I don't want to disappoint her with my homework. She is patient; my accent is really bad and she gives me language and reading drills to improve my pronunciation, as well as lots of opportunities to revise what I have learned in previous classes through exercises.
I would recommend her to anyone who wants to study Chinese, whether they are starting from scratch or building on what they already know. She is a great teacher."
- Riazat
"I have been studying mandarin with Ning for the past year. I am an advanced mandarin speaker having studied since 2007 - both in China and in the UK.
I rate Ning's teaching extremely highly and would be delighted to recommend her to other fellow students ...
... I've had approximately 10 mandarin tutors since I started learning mandarin and I rank Ning as one of the very best. If you're looking to learn about the Chinese language and culture, then you couldn't go far wrong."
- Eleanor
"Holding the attention of my eight-year-old son for any length of time is a feat of Herculean proportion.
How Ning manages to keep him focused for an hour is astonishing and highlights her remarkable gift for teaching.
The lessons strike the perfect balance between being factual and fun, meaning my son happily sits down for his weekly session. I would highly recommend Ning."
- Lucia (Anthony's Mum)
"From a parent's point of view, our son looks forward to his lessons with Ning and is totally engaged during them.
Ning has given him the confidence to communicate with Chinese speakers, when the opportunity arises.
We are so proud of him, due to the fact that in a short period of time, Joe has been able to hold brief conversations in Chinese."
- Brennan & Beatriz (Joe's Parents)
"I've been having lessons with Ning to prepare myself for moving to China for a job. As a complete beginner I felt totally overwhelmed by the prospect of beginning to learn such a notorious language! However, Ning's lessons have helped me to feel comfortable (and even enjoy) tackling pronunciation as well as basic vocabulary and sentence structuring.
Ning is friendly and helpful in her teaching style which makes for a comfortable learning environment. It is clear that she is aware of my individual progression as lessons are individually tailored to my learning preferences, difficulties and interests.
From my experience, I would 100% recommend Ning as a Chinese tutor for anyone looking for helpful and professional tuition."

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm Kiren, a passionate and dedicated math tutor with a deep love for numbers and a strong commitment to helping students succeed. With a background in mathematics, gained through my Bachelors in engineering, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every tutoring session.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and skill levels, from primary school through to college. My approach to teaching maths is centered on making the subject accessible and enjoyable. I believe that everyone has the potential to excel in math with the right guidance and support.
Teaching Experience:
I have had the pleasure of tutoring students across a wide range of educational levels, from primary school through to A-level. My journey as a maths tutor began with helping primary school students build a strong foundation in basic arithmetic and problem-solving skills. I quickly discovered a passion for teaching and a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that young learners could easily grasp. Seeing my students' confidence grow as they mastered new skills was incredibly rewarding and fueled my desire to reach even more students.
In addition to working with younger students, I have also tutored A level school students, guiding them through the intricacies of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. My approach is always tailored to the individual needs of each student, whether they are preparing for critical exams or simply looking to improve their understanding of the material. My experience with A-level students has been particularly enriching, as I have been able to help them tackle advanced topics and prepare for university-level coursework.
Beyond traditional tutoring, I spent a year teaching apprentices, which was a unique and fulfilling experience. Working with apprentices allowed me to connect mathematical theory with practical, real-world applications, demonstrating how essential maths skills are in various trades and professions. This experience honed my ability to make math relevant and engaging, showing students the value of what they are learning beyond the classroom.
During my time at university, I also provided peer support to fellow students. This involved helping my classmates with challenging coursework, facilitating study groups, and offering one-on-one assistance. These informal teaching opportunities helped me develop a deeper understanding of the material and refined my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. It was during this period that I realised how much I enjoyed teaching and mentoring others, solidifying my commitment to becoming a dedicated math tutor.
Throughout my diverse teaching experiences, I have cultivated a versatile teaching style that adapts to the needs of each student. Whether working with young children, high school students, apprentices, or university peers, my goal remains the same: to inspire a love for maths and to empower my students to achieve their full potential
Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching is centered around the belief that every student has the potential to excel in maths when given the right tools and support. I strive to create a learning environment that is both encouraging and engaging, where students feel comfortable exploring new concepts and expressing their difficulties. Patience and understanding are at the core of my teaching philosophy, as I recognise that each student learns at their own pace and in their own unique way.
One of the key elements of my approach is personalisation. I tailor my lessons to meet the specific needs and goals of each student, taking into account their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. By customising my teaching methods, I can provide targeted support that helps students overcome their challenges and build confidence in their abilities. Whether a student needs help with basic arithmetic, advanced algebra, or anything in between, I am committed to providing the guidance and resources they need to succeed.
Interactive and practical learning is another cornerstone of my teaching style. I incorporate a variety of teaching aids and techniques to make math more relatable and interesting. This includes using real-world examples, visual aids, and hands-on activities to demonstrate how mathematical concepts apply to everyday life and various professions. By making math relevant and tangible, I aim to spark curiosity and enthusiasm in my students, helping them see the value and importance of what they are learning.
I also believe in the power of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Building a student's confidence is crucial to their success, and I make it a point to celebrate their progress, no matter how small. By fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere, I help students develop a growth mindset, where they view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This mindset not only improves their performance in math but also equips them with the resilience and problem-solving skills that will benefit them in all areas of life.
Ultimately, my goal as a math tutor is not only to improve my students' grades but also to instill a lasting appreciation for the subject. I want my students to leave our sessions with a deeper understanding of maths and a newfound confidence in their abilities. Through a combination of personalised instruction, interactive learning, and positive reinforcement, I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Personal Description:
My name is María, I am a Geography, History and Spanish teacher from Argentina. I love my profession, as I enjoy teaching very much. I moved to London in January 2011 and I have been teaching Spanish here since then.
I specialise in teaching those who do not wish to loose their Spanish, or those who require a more advanced level of teaching.
My students have told me, I transmit confidence and they don't feel inhibited to speak when in class with me. This is always good, as I believe the best way to learn is by speaking a lot! :)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to your response!
Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching Geography, History and Spanish for more than 15 years, in schools and universities, as well as privately. I studied at Universidad Nacional de Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. I also worked as a teacher for the Ministry of Education and the World Bank.
On the side, I have a small network of private students, whom I have been teaching for the past 6 years. I have managed to continue teaching them for so long, as they do not want to loose their Spanish, which they mainly use for business negotiations or their travels to Spain/Latin America.
Tutoring Approach:
First, I asses the student´s level and needs, so we can work together to find the appropriate learning approach. I use a wide variety of materials (course books, grammar reference books, movies, newspaper articles, songs, poems, internet articles, etc). The four skills are practised from the very first lesson, always recycling the language and putting into practice what is learnt in each lesson.

Personal Description:
I am a professional piano player with a degree in Music and Music Technology from Keele University. My work includes session playing, touring theatre shows, accompanying and teaching piano, keyboard or music theory lessons.
Teaching Experience:
I have previously worked as a piano/keyboard/music theory for Telford Music School (Jan 2010 - June 2011), teaching all ages and abilities, and I have spent the summers of 2011 and 2012 as the Theatre Assistant/Musical Director for Chateaugay Summer Camp in America. I currently offer private tutoring at pupils homes to fit in with my other professional work.
Tutoring Approach:
Every student is different and requires a different approach. I try hard to adapt for each pupil but my main concern is that they enjoy what they are playing/learning. I like to let people discover their own musical tastes and preferences while still exploring and understanding a whole range of music.

Personal Description:
Hi! I'm an Oxford graduate with a 2:1 in English Language and Literature. I graduated in 2013 and went on to study an MSc in Psychology at Oxford Brookes, in which I achieved a distinction. I am now a published author, and split my time between writing novels and tutoring. Tutoring has always appealed to me as a rewarding way to put the skills that I learnt during my degree and masters to good use. Reading English at Oxford honed my critical thinking, analytical abilities and study skills, while my masters gave me experience in data analysis and conducting research. My day job as an author has also deepened my understanding of how to write effectively. I enjoy tutoring others and helping them to develop these skills too! In my spare time, I like to read and play boardgames. I'm highly experienced in teaching both in person and via Zoom, Skype and Teams. As well as tutoring, I also specialise in editing, copy-editing and proofreading academic essays, job applications and CVs, and articles. I offer creative writing coaching to writers of all ages.
Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring for over ten years and have worked with lots of students of all ages. Many of my students have worked with me through the transition from primary to secondary school, or through their GCSEs and on into their A Levels. I am particularly experienced in helping students to prepare for secondary school entrance exams, GCSEs, and A Levels.
I successfully completed an assessment for the selective tutoring agency Blue Tutors. During the assessment I had to demonstrate my tutoring ability to a trained assessor, who described my communication skills as 'excellent'.
In my final term at Oxford, I volunteered with Schools Plus, a program which runs after school tuition sessions for struggling students in areas of economic disadvantage. I spent half a term working with GCSE English students, tutoring them on an individual basis in the run up to their January modules. As part of the selection process for the program, I also attended tutoring training.
When I was in the 6th form (in 2009), I also volunteered as a classroom assistant in my school. I was working with students who were having difficulty with essay-based subjects like History and English. I worked with two students in their History classes, helping them to understand the work they were set in class and working through it with them. I had to use my knowledge of French to help one student who had not yet learnt to speak fluent English, translating the teacher's instructions for her and helping her with words she did not understand. Between 2009-10, I helped to run two after-school classes for Key Stage 2 pupils, one in Literacy and Art and another in Drama. This involved planning and delivering lessons to classes of about 5-10 children, and keeping them engaged with the topics they were learning through activities designed to both teach and entertain.
Tutoring Approach:
My experience of tutoring has shown me the importance of patience and respect in teaching. Especially in essay-based subjects, it is crucial that a teacher allows their pupils space to develop their own ideas, and respects their independent thought. Learning by rote has only limited usefulness: the best way to excel at a subject is to understand it, so I always explain concepts as fully as possible and move at the tutee's pace, making sure that they have properly grasped each concept or issue before moving on to the next. My Schools Plus training emphasised the idea that the goal of tutoring is to help a student to help themselves, enabling them to tackle problems rather than solving things for them. I think that this is fantastic advice, and it is a rule which I always try to bear in mind when tutoring.

Tutoring Approach:
I enjoy teaching students of different ability levels and cultural backgrounds and take pleasure in making the subject interesting for my students. When teaching, I aim to provide a stimulating and interactive learning environment. I plan my lessons with care to make sure that I've included appropriate activities and exercises for the students' level by using a variety of teaching strategies and methods to support the engagement of all learners (including making provisions for students with learning difficulties by differentiating activities that are suitable for the different learning styles). I also like to help students achieve their full academic potential and get them inspired about the world around them.

Personal Description:
I have experience across several institutions, including the University of Bristol, University of Bath, University of York, Bath Spa University, and Universidad de Manizales in Colombia. I'm genuinely curious about you and your studies, and I see tutoring as a space to explore your ideas together. I enjoy discussing big-picture questions as well as working through the details - but I'll always take your lead and adapt to your needs. I'm based in Bristol and happy to explore in-person sessions after we've had an initial online meeting.
Teaching Experience:
I have experience tutoring learners of all ages and backgrounds, both in the UK and internationally. I particularly enjoy working with university-level students and adult learners, especially in the social sciences and humanities. Alongside tutoring, I currently work in university curriculum and assessment design, which means I'm well placed to support students navigating assignments, academic writing, and feedback. Whether you're building confidence in your studies or working towards a specific goal, I'll aim to meet you where you are.
Tutoring Approach:
My approach is collaborative and student-centred. I see myself as a supportive sounding board - someone to think with, reflect with, and help you move forward with confidence. Whether you're clarifying ideas, improving your writing, or navigating academic feedback, we'll find what works best for you. I aim to help you build confidence in your academic voice. I'm also happy to review drafts between sessions when time allows.

Personal Description:
I am a former teacher at a GCSE and Sixth Form college in west London. I currently work in the E-learning industry. I also have my own podcast about education, Education Bookcast. I cover a book a week about education research, for the benefit of teachers, parents, and anybody who takes an interest.
I am a Chemical Engineering graduate from Trinity College, Cambridge.
Teaching Experience:
I have worked as a tutor for 7 years in total. My students vary from 11+ to Key stage 3 to GCSE to A-level as well as university level students. I have taught over 70 students one-on-one so far, as well as many more in school and in private courses for examinations such as STEP, usually for several months at a time.
Here are some of the things that my students have said about me:
"Stas is an excellent tutor, I am studying Mechanical Engineering and his knowledge of Maths, Mechanics and Thermo Dynamics is extensive. He explained things in a clear and precise way and was always well prepared for the sessions. He was also punctual and reliable; it was a pleasure to learn from him."
Jack, Liverpool University
"I am currently studying Chemical Engineering, and Stas tutored me for Process Engineering, his teaching was nothing but the best, i understood the course in no time. He explains everything from the basics, something i wanted. Honestly, I will recommend him any day! He is a brilliant tutor."
Zahra, Manchester University
"Stas is an enthusiastic and patient Maths tutor. He has provided me with some very good examples, and has been a great help."
Jim, Manchester Metropolitan University, MA Bioinformatics
"Stas is a great tutor. I feel much more confident with Maths now then I did when we first started. It is evident in my grades that Stas has helped me improve in Maths. He is very good at explaining the material that I don't understand; he uses different scenarios to help explain them which enables me to apply Maths to real life situations. I enjoyed our tuition sessions, as Stas made Maths fun!"
Sehr, Manchester, AS Maths
"My son, Alex was having problem with Biology, so far he had only few lessons with Stas but there's been a huge improvement in his grade already. We have been so impressed with Stas's teaching techniques, that we are taking on extra lessons in Maths and Physics with Stas. Stas is the most genuine teacher I've come across, there is no nonsense with him. I can see that Stas truly enjoys teaching and more importantly my son finds learning from Stas is so enjoyable."
Mel, Cheshire
"Stas has tutored me in Maths, Chemistry and Physics at GCSE level. He is very clear and explains things well. He is also very patient, will listen and when I don't understand will try to explain things in a different way. He has been very supportive throughout my exams and has helped me to feel more confident about them. We went through all of the difficult things I struggled with, so that I had a better understanding of them.
I got A*'s in all the subjects he tutored me. He is helping me with A levels now."
Kaija, London
"This has been our first experience of using a tutor and it has been very good, thanks to Stas. Not only is he very reliable, but my son has enjoyed the sessions and learnt a great deal in terms of problem solving with his maths, Further Maths and Physics. Stas has also been able to help with some more complex Chemistry work. So far, they have worked through the more challenging sections of the Further Maths syllabus and past papers. Most importantly, my son finds their sessions extremely useful and Stas inspirational to work with."
Tamlyn, London
"Stas is extremely easy to get on with, always polite and extremely patient with me.
He maintains a constant positive approach and encourages me dutifully regardless of how badly I perform.
He helps me keep track of how I am improving so that I can watch my progress based on timely reviews of what we have achieved.
Stas is a fantastic guy and a terrific teacher. Based on my experiences I would certainly be able to recommend him to anyone.
Overall Rating (10/10)"
Joe, London
Tutoring Approach:
It is easy to overcomplicate things.
- Anyone can learn anything. It's a matter of method, support, application, and belief.
- Students learn new material at first by seeing a need to learn the new thing (e.g. because they don't know how to solve a new problem), and connecting new information to things they already know.
- They then need to strengthen this understanding by engaging in problems themselves and trying to remember what they have learned.
- Many students need to gain confidence. This partly comes from encouragement, but true confidence comes from progress and success, which comes from following the above.
- Students need guidance. It's challenging enough to try to focus on the material. Teachers need to make sure that all of students' focus is placed on thinking about the content, rather than on sideline issues like trying to figure out what comes next.
- Efficiency is important. Most people have specific targets (e.g. passing an exam). Things need to happen quickly.
- At the same time, early stages sometimes need to take longer in order to build a foundation for what follows. Taking a step back can be important in order to be clear on what's really going on, and avoiding rote memorisation or "going through the motions".

Personal Description:
I am an enthusiastic, calm and kind teacher of English who is passionate about every child achieving their full potential. I live in Burgess Hill and have three children of my own. We also have a dog and enjoy going for walks in the countryside. Reading and the theatre are also my greatest passions. I thoroughly enjoy teaching children the love of reading and will focus on exam skills and strategies by breaking down the content into manageable chunks so that my students achieve their very best.
Teaching Experience:
I am a qualified teacher of Secondary English from KS3 up to GCSE and A Level and have been teaching in West Sussex schools for over 20 years. I have a degree in English, PGCE, and MA in Education.
I am currently teaching at a comprehensive Secondary school in West Sussex and cover the AQA syllabus. Although this is my specialism I also have experience in Edexcel and OCR exam boards. I have also been an examiner for AQA for many years and use this experience to help my students understand how to break down the questions and understand the marking criteria.
I have tutored privately for over 5 years now and have many families willing to give current references. My recent success stories are in my reviews please take a look!
Tutoring Approach:
I am able to break down the current GCSE requirements from all exam boards and coach young people in a way that they can understand.
I work at the pace set by the student and help them in such a way that they feel a sense of achievement after every lesson.
In negotiation with the student I can set weekly homework tasks as part of the tutoring session if required and also include the marking of these in my fee. I am very flexible and can offer short term help on GCSE English Language or long term support to cover both Language and Literature. Online tutoring and booster sessions in school holidays are also available.
