Personal Description:
Hello,
I`ve been tutoring Mathematics at all levels since 1996. Have an outstanding record of getting students top grades. I encourage a hard work ethic and discipline.
For A'level and GSCE students, material is taught as per their exam board requires, with plently of emphasis on the importance of past paper revision.
For younger children I specialise in Vendic Mathematics, subtraction via addition, estimate and adjust, etc. As well as applying the story book method to assist a childs memory techniques.
All students are taught about goal setting principles, motivating themselves and not settling for real and achievable standards.
Teaching Experience:
Have been teaching one-to-one since 1996. Software Engineer by trade.
Tutoring Approach:
Secret to my teaching style is to deliver the subject in a manner that appeals to the student.
Using examples that are relavent to the student's interest are key to understanding.

Personal Description:
After leaving school, I studied at Nottingham University for a BA in Music, then for a MA in Theology from the London School of Theology. Having worked for a while at an inner-city secondary school, I went on to complete a research masters and a PhD in Biblical Studies, whilst working as a teaching affiliate at Nottingham University. I have since moved to Stourbridge to work in a local church whilst continuing academic research and writing. My own interests are principally in theology, philosophy and politics, but also the arts and culture. I am married, have five children, and am a keen football fan (Manchester United).
Teaching Experience:
I have taught at secondary school (Religious Studies) and at several Universities; I have also worked as a private tutor for over a decade with students of all abilities.
Tutoring Approach:
I'm happy to be flexible in my approach depending on the particular needs of each student. I'm happy to concentrate on what is needed to get good grades, but alse believe that education is about more than being able to pass exams! I have worked hard for my qualifications and belive in disciplined, productive study; however for some students getting the highest possible grade is not necessarily the most important thing. Each person is an individual with different strengths, weaknesses and aims, so I try to structure how I teach around individual needs and goals. When teaching I also believe that giving people self confidence, an ability to think critically and an enjoyment of the subject is an important part of helping them to improve.

Personal Description:
Dear Parent / Guardian,
If you value a teacher's qualifications and experience,
If you appreciate the many years of hard work the teacher has done to get them,
If you're happy to pay a reasonable fee for that experience,
If you want a friendly, patient tutor with a traditional approach to teaching,
Then you could be my ideal parent !
And I'd love to hear from you
My name is Michael,
I'm a specialist teacher and tutor in Physics and Maths online.
I am a fully qualified (+ enhanced DBS certificate), professional teacher and tutor of Maths and Physics - with 25 + years experience of teaching to to Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, GCSE, IGCSE, AS / A2 - Level, as well as considerable experience as an examiner.
For 15 years I have offered tuition from my home in Twickenham, Richmond and online.
Online works very well for most students.
Teaching Experience:
With 25 + years of classroom teaching and tutoring across the full ability range from 8 years old to Adult,
Over the last 9 years I have developed my resources so that I can offer the same top quality tuition ONLINE to students anywhere in the UK and abroad as I can to face - to - face students.
Tutoring Approach:
Online, by discussion with the student and parent I establish the learning needs of the student.
I work with the student to devise teaching and learning strategies to suit the student.
We use Zoom for conversation. I share my qualifications, my certificates, my CRB / DBS, my references, and discuss the student's educational needs, just as I would do if face-to-face.
Together - the student and I - we compose our lesson notes which I write out and - at the end of the lesson - I scan the notes and send them to the student.
We can also use and share an interactive online whiteboard, just like a sheet of paper between us, and of course screen - sharing technology to bring our tuition notes to the home of the student.
We try to make the online learning experience and working relationship as similar as possible to the face - to - face experience.
I offer a top quality tuition package - friendly, patient and reliable - to meet the needs of the individual student who wants to improve her / his grades and is prepared to work hard.
Whether the student needs help with homework, coursework guidance, specific topics, revision strategies, or exam technique and practice at past exam papers, etc. . . help is available, and the student and parents WILL see improvement.
The fee covers not only the hour of tuition time, but also:-
pre-lesson preparation time;
providing personalised lesson notes at the end of each lesson;
setting homework or past exam paper;
marking homework or past exam paper;
providing online support between lessons;
providing feedback to students and parents.
So, when you consider the full package, you will see that each lesson means you get at least 2 hours of a specialist teacher's time and the benefit of his years of work and experience as a teacher. I believe that the tuition "hourly" fee is actually very good value for money and compares well with fees charged by similarly qualified and experienced tutors. I hope you will agree and I look forward to hearing from you..
I am available for tuition during the day as well as after school.
I am based in Whitton, Twickenham.
I offer tuition online.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile
If you would like further details or to discuss your individual learning needs or to arrange an online Zoom consultation meeting please contact me.
Michael.

Personal Description:
Hi my name is Debra and I live in Gunnislake.
I graduated with an MFA in Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Art in London and have a degree in painting and, diploma in art and design.
I specialise in portraiture and figurative art and, in particular iPad/iPhone and digital painting. I graduated in painting and have experience with oils, acrylics, watercolour alongside other mediums such as charcoals and pencil. Much of my work is done through direct observation and I stress to students, the importance of this. Observational work strengthens the eyes, memory and confidence in what we are looking at, enabling us to better record our observation. Therefore, plenty of practice here will ultimately reap rewards.
I am passionate about what I do and regard drawing and painting as a form of self expression.
Teaching Experience:
I have eighteen years experience within the Early Years sector.
4 years Private tutoring experience
Tutoring Approach:
I am an extremely motivated and positive person and believe that anyone can be taught to draw. Healthy doses of discussions, listening and the exchanging of ideas is a key component in cultivating the creative mind, alongside plenty of encouragement and positivity. Constructive criticism is also very important and this part of exchange should be delivered with positivity to maximise a productive way forward for the tutee.

Personal Description:
I am from Brazil, however, I am able to teach both European Portuguese and Brazilian.
I am passionate about teaching and about languages in general.
I can teach people of all ages and levels.
I have got that essential quality any tutor should have; I am an extremely patient teacher and I do not give up on my students!
Seeing my students achieving their goa is a great joy to me! It's what motivates me to carry on with the same drive and enthusiasm I had when I started 25 years ago!
Teaching Experience:
I have worked as a Portuguese tutor for the past 25 years, both in Brazil and in the UK.
I have taught both European and Brazilian Portuguese, which can also be combined as I have successfully done with many of my pupils.
I have a vast experience in preparing pupils for their Portuguese GCSE exams.
I have also taught business Portuguese, to many executive business people.
Tutoring Approach:
Lessons are based on individual needs. They are fun and relaxing, as well as my approach...
My students usually tell me they enjoy my lessons and that I am a good teacher.
I have an enormous pleasure in teaching and, seeing my students achieving their goals is my delight!

Personal Description:
Oxford-educated and experienced English tutor, with a fantastic track record of guiding students to phenomenal success. I am an enthusiastic, supportive and encouraging teacher with a sense of humour, bolstered by a true passion for English Literature and Drama.
Students often describe me as friendly, hard-working and reliable and I love to help them to achieve their academic goals. I help with
rigorous academic preparation and a sharp focus on the demands of the exam syllabus, often helping tutees to jump several grades.
Teaching Experience:
I have been a successful private tutor for over ten years, as well as having taught English and Drama in some of the best schools in the country, helping to guide many students to phenomenal exam success. I have taught at Stamford High School and Oakham School - teaching all ages from key stage 3-5 and specifically including GCSE/A Level and IB. I also rigorously prepared students for university entrance at these schools, helping with personal statements, interviews and reading material. I helped many students achieve top grades, founded discussion groups, led the debating society at Stamford, coached the winning house play entry at Oakham and assisted on multiple interview panels. I also led a Shakespeare day, assisted with creative writing, organised multiple theatre trips and led specific workshops on set texts.
I cover a range of specialisms in my tuition, encompassing Shakespeare, poetry, drama texts, novels and essay-writing skills, as well as being highly skilled in exam and coursework technique and 're-teaching' Literature texts in a short space of time to students who feel their tuition has been below par.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe strongly in finding the best approach for each individual student. I don't believe in 'one size fits all' tuition and never have; we are all so gloriously unique and different! I do believe passionately in helping students to feel confident as quickly as possible and, as such, I tend to ensure that for each text, task or question, there is the opportunity for the student to quickly put into practice whatever has been taught. This might be quickly re-writing an introduction, re-ordering a thesis or perhaps simply writing a single line of analysis and quotation. Sometimes little and often is best, as English can be overwhelming for some students and they need continual practice in the art of forming articulate and well-informed sentences at every stage of an essay!
I believe in finding opportunities for the students to enjoy the texts they study, in addition to coaching them rigorously in the necessary set of analytical skills they need to write top notch essays or descriptive/narrative pieces. I enjoy assisting students at all stages of their education and have experience in teaching all key stages. In addition to preparing students thoroughly for public examinations, I have been able to help pupils explore a variety of texts and genres and discover the joy of great writing
I enjoy helping students contemplating Higher Education - having helped students look at different courses, selecting modules and advising them on their personal statements; it has been rewarding to try and help students play to their individual strengths. I have delivered several specialist seminars for University applicants and assisted in delivering intensive mock interviews, both at Stamford and Oundle School, assisted with interviews and entrance examination preparation.
I am also a professional actress and writer and have lots of experience guiding young people in the realms of theatre auditions and Drama GCSE and A Level. In addition, I hold an MA from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and further training at The Drama Studio in London and am also available for individual coaching for scholarships, drama school entrance and professional auditions.
I was Theatre Director-in-Residence at Kings College School in Wimbledon, directing many plays and productions, establishing a new writing group and adapting and creating Brighton Rock from an original adaptation, as well as leading the large scale community production of Macbeth. I have touring experience of my solo show and working in the industry which can be shared with students and especially help those wishing to join the profession.
I am based in Lincolnshire and, as such, I tutor all my tutees online.

Personal Description:
I'm an Oxford graduate English specialist who helps students achieve top grades in their English GCSEs and A-Levels.
I know exactly what the mark scheme is looking for, and have helped multiple students exceed their expectations.
***"Thank you so much for all your tips and advice - I ended up getting 9s in both English GCSEs!" - STUDENT H***
I particularly enjoy working with ambitious, hardworking students who might not yet have understood how to excel. I was one of these students.
But everything changed when I got a private tutor at the age of 15. With their support, I scored 100% in my English GCSEs, 99% in English A Level, and went on to study English at St John's College, Oxford.
So, it's out of immense gratitude to my own teachers (and my younger self for persisting through the anxiety and disappointment) that I try and show my students that success is well within their reach.
***"Thank you for your help: it really helped me get the 9! It's still sinking in, I can't believe it" - STUDENT D***
***"Ankit is an amazing tutor. He boosted my son by 3 grades. I recommend Ankit to anyone who wants a tutor: Ankit really goes above and beyond to teach his students" - HAMID (Parent)***
Teaching Experience:
***"The results are here and I got a 9 in Literature and an 8 (2 marks off a 9) in Language. These were also my highest grades" - STUDENT E***
I've been an English tutor for nearly five years, following my education under award-winning professors, tutors, and teachers who shaped the foundation of everything I now teach.
Over the last 5 years, I've taught OCR, Cambridge, Edexcel and AQA English GCSE, and OCR and AQA English A Level.
Set texts that I've taught include:
- Macbeth
- A Christmas Carol
- Inspector Calls
- Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
- Lord of the Flies
- Power and Conflict Poetry
- Love and Relationships Poetry
- Romeo and Juliet
- Songs of Ourselves (Anthology)
- Never Let Me Go
- The War of the Worlds
- Pride and Prejudice
- The Woman in Black
- I'm the King of the Castle
- Antony and Cleopatra
- The Great Gatsby
- Othello
- Hamlet
- Richard II
- Paradise Lost
- Frankenstein
- The Bloody Chamber
- Skirrid Hill
- The Handmaid's Tale
- A Streetcar Named Desire
- Top Girls
- Romantic Poetry
- The Duchess of Malfi
- Of Mice and Men
However, my degree covered literature written from when English first became a language to the modern day. So simply let me know what you're studying and I'll be able to teach it.
***"I learnt more with you in 2 hours than I did in a whole year from my teachers" - STUDENT K***
Tutoring Approach:
***"I got an 8 in Literature (I never thought I would EVER get that in Year 10) and a 7 in Language. I'm even taking English for A Level! Sincerely, thank you for everything. I'm forever grateful!" - STUDENT A***
My lessons balance challenge with warmth. I teach through discussion, questioning, high-level ideas and regular homework.
***"I couldn't be happier with the progress my son had made under Ankit's guidance, which has helped him reach grade 9. What sets Ankit apart is his patience and encouragement, which has really boosted my son's confidence"*** - VIJI (Parent)
I break English down into clear systems: top-band writing templates, essay formulas, and exam strategies tailored to the student's board and mark scheme. Together, we build ready-to-use paragraphs and flexible arguments that adapt to almost any question with the goal of reducing uncertainty, building fluency and writing material the examiners want to reward.
***"Ankit helped my dyslexic son at both GCSE and A Level. His manner with students is warm and engaging, and he has a lovely sense of humour - all of which makes such a difference in 1-2-1 settings. I thoroughly recommend him - CLAIR (Parent) ***

Personal Description:
Qualified English tutor with a BA in English Literature and Philosophy, and an MA in Russian and East European Literature and Culture.
My interests include music (I play guitar and write songs), cooking, science, running, football, squash, psychology, and in general learning new things.
I'm fluent in Russian.
Teaching Experience:
I spent 9 years teaching English in Moscow, Russia to children and adults of all levels.
I've also taught at various companies including banks, tech companies and start-ups.
Tutoring Approach:
I draw material from a range of sources including news articles, podcasts, short videos etc for discussion. I create vocabulary exercises for the topic material to allow the student to prepare for the discussion of the topic so that the new language is used actively and immediately.
I usually keep the lessons as focussed on speaking/listening as possible, with reading and writing usually given as homework.
The lessons are, however, tailored to suit the individual needs of the student.

Personal Description:
I am a highly experienced multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger. I have performed in a number of ensembles, playing a wide variety of music, including classical, pop, jazz, folk, and Southern African music. I have composed and arranged over 2000 pieces, mostly for educational ensembles. I have a BA honours degree in Performing Arts (majoring in music) and a PGCE Music teaching qualification.
Teaching Experience:
I have been a classroom music teacher for over 25 years - 23 of them as a highly successful head of department at Bradfield Secondary School in Sheffield. I have taught GCSE and A Level music, and my students have consistently achieved well above the national average. I have also organised a large number of concerts, shows, and festivals. I was Classic FM's inaugural Music Teacher of the Year in 1999.
Tutoring Approach:
I have an inclusive approach to music education, encouraging all students, regardless of ability, to fulfil their potential. I consider it vital that students enjoy making music and I always make sure that their learning is tailored to their musical interests and educational needs. In terms of instrumental lessons I am happy for students to progress through graded exams but I am equally happy to design a progressive route that avoids the potential stress of formal assessment.
With regards to GCSE & A Level tutoring, I am offering personal tutoring in the following areas:
- Listening & Appraising: I have developed a huge volume of resources to help students with listening and appraising exam questions
- Composing: I can offer advice in how to approach specific composition briefs and I have a variety of resources designed to enable students to compose effectively using specific structures, styles, and methods. I can offer advice regarding compositions that students have already started, pointing out areas of concern and offering possible solutions, although the nature of my assistance is strictly governed by the teacher guidelines provided by the various exam boards.
- Set Works: I can offer tutoring in analysis and provide help with practice analysis exam questions.
- Performing: I can advise on choices of pieces and help with preparation, especially if the student does not receive private instrumental/singing tuition.
My GCSE & A Level music tuition covers all the recognised exam boards.

Personal Description:
I am a Maths Graduate and Chartered Accountant based in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. I am married and have 4 daughters all of whom have been/are at University.
Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring accountancy students for the last 17 years, helping them prepare for professional exams at all levels. During that time I have taught students with a wide range of abilities to pass a variety of subjects, many of which have included a substantial element of mathematical topics.
Tutoring Approach:
Many students come to maths exams with anxiety and stress; this arises from a variety of sources but often is due to a feeling of helplessness in the face of what can appear to be an unfathomable fog of confusion. My job is to give candidates the confidence and self belief to tackle any questions they may encounter in the exam. The first thing I like to do is to get an honest appraisal of where they are initially so we can begin to identify what needs to get fixed, and start plugging the gaps in their knowledge. Once we have an idea of where they are weakest, we can decide how to get them through the exam.The main focus will be on question practice and giving them useful analysis of their performance on past exam questions.

Personal Description:
I am currently an Academic Foundation Doctor at University Hospital Southampton. I studied at Westminster School as a Queen's Scholar and secured 14 A* at GCSE and 4 A* at A-level. In 2020 I received first class honours in Natural Sciences and was awarded a scholarship by Jesus College in 2020. I graduated Cambridge University in 2023 (MBBChir)
I am also a keen musician and played the clarinet with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain between 2014-2017. On holidays you might see me climbing and camping around Scotland or catching up with close friends in London.
What do I offer?:
• 13+ entry scholarship examination to Westminster School; 'The Challenge'
• Oxbridge interview preparation for medical applications
• BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test)
• UCAS personal statement
• Other; please reach out to discuss
Teaching Experience:
Between 2020-2022 I have taught the neuroscience course (NHB) for 2nd year undergraduates at Jesus College Cambridge. Supervisions comprise of weekly small group teaching. I have also taught the NHB course privately 1:1. I regularly teach younger students (10-14).
Tutoring Approach:
I am a kind and supportive tutor looking to work with my tutees to identify and consolidate areas of weakness. In addition, I hope to provide insight into the skills required to tackle competitive application processes, including scholarship exams and medical interviews.
I prioritise improving exam performance and I encourage the development of critical thinking skills at all levels of learning. In undergraduate supervisions, I aim to tackle difficult concepts from first principles and question underlying assumptions, as well as help undergraduates develop their written communication. I believe these skills are highly valuable for writing personal statements and for success at interview.

Personal Description:
I am a highly experienced Maths Tutor, Teacher and Leader of Maths with over 20 years of experience in both Secondary and Primary settings. During my career I have successfully tutored many students one-to-one alongside teaching in schools. I am now working as a full-time tutor. I can help those for whom maths is challenging as well as those who want to achieve the highest grades.
Ask yourself this "Is maths a mystery?" Do you wish you understood the 'why' as well as the 'how'? If you ask a question, does your teacher give the same explanation again and again? It doesn't have to be that way. My methods really work; my students increase their mathematical abilities and confidence, and can explain what they're doing. Some are so excited after my lessons that they can`t wait to tell their parents all about it! Do you wish your child was so inspired by their teacher that they voluntarily did extra maths in order to improve?
If your child has had a difficult time with maths at school, or perhaps you`ve tried other tutors and been disappointed, fear not, there is a better way. Follow other parents who have noticed their children finish my lessons with a grin, and a bounce in their step, follow other students who have excitedly messaged me after exams to tell me that there was so much they actually could do!
Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching for over 18 years. In that time, I have worked in both Primary and Secondary schools and have been the Leader of Maths in both settings. I understand the demands of both the Primary and GCSE curriculums. I have excellent subject knowledge and a deep understanding of how students learn maths as this was the focus of my Masters research. This means that I can go into any tutoring lesson knowing I fully understand the concepts and can explain them effectively. I have worked with all abilities including those with Special Educational Needs. I made the decision to become a full-time tutor because tutoring is what I love! Tutoring full-time means I can put in more hours outside of lessons to prepare and communicate with students and parents to help them with any problems or questions they might have.
I offer online lessons via Zoom. I have Enhanced DBS and am registered with the update service.
Tutoring Approach:
My approach is one that is based on mathematical research and my many years of experience teaching in schools. I plan personalised learning for each tutee ensuring that they achieve their full potential. I pride myself on building excellent relationships with my tutees, and endeavour to instil in them a love of maths and a 'can-do' attitude. I liaise weekly with parents so they know how their children are progressing.
Since last year all my tutoring has taken place online. This has been highly successful with both my tutees and their parents preferring this method as it affords more flexibility and enables me to help students from across the country as well as internationally. I have worked with students from KS2 all the way through to GCSE.
My planning is completely flexible and is built around my student's progress and needs. I seek to identify common misconceptions and ensure that students have a solid foundation on which to build. I am patient and am used to explaining concepts in several different ways to find the way that works for each individual. I focus on helping students understand the 'why' not just the 'how.' Constant review is key in Maths and I build this into every lesson.
I love working with young people and am passionate about providing students with the best possible education that will benefit them throughout their adult lives. I love seeing them grow in confidence and ability as well as developing a real enjoyment of the subject. It is quite common for my students to experience a transformation in how they feel about their own abilities in maths and they frequently go on to be amongst the highest achievers in their respective cohorts.
TESTIMONIALS:
'Jackie is an outstanding tutor whose efforts helped push me to raise my GCSE maths grade from a predicted 7 to a final result of 9. Jackie always aims to create an engaging and enthusiastic environment to learn and help students advance in their studies.' Former student now studying A level maths and further maths at Sixth Form College.
'We have had the pleasure of Jackie tutoring both of our children for their GCSE maths examinations. I cannot praise Jackie enough in terms of her teaching ability and outstanding success in engaging our children in the learning experience and improving their examination results. A great deal of this success has been obtained by building the confidence of our children in maths and helping them believe that they can (and have) improved their results in this subject area. Our daughter has particularly grown in confidence in a relatively short period of time. Jackie always makes her lessons fun and engaging and both of our children have enjoyed their time with her. She clearly takes pride and pleasure in their success and I would very much recommend her services to anyone thinking of investing in maths tutoring.' Mrs B, parent in West Sussex.
'Jackie tutored both our children to help them prepare for their Year 6 SATS exams. Both of them really looked forward to their weekly lessons with Jackie as she made the lessons fun and engaging. She gave us weekly feedback on how they were progressing which I found very useful. Our daughter in particular made exceptional progress as she was really struggling with maths before going to Jackie. After a year of lessons, she had moved from the lowest group for maths in her class to the top group and told me she "loved maths now!" Both of our children achieved excellent results in their SATS exams which would not have happened had it not been for Jackie's outstanding teaching. She is very experienced and knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone thinking of employing a maths tutor for their children.' Mrs S, parent in Essex.
'Jackie taught me through my whole GCSE maths and helped so much. When I started in year 10 I just couldn't get my head around certain aspects of maths and I was failing but now I'm happy to say I managed to pass with a grade 5, which was above my target, thanks to her brilliant teaching! Thank you.' Former student now Head Boy at a Sixth Form in Surrey.
'Jackie was recommended to us as a maths tutor as she has many years of experience in teaching in Secondary School. Jackie teaches our child as an individual & at his pace. She goes out of her way go to make lessons fun and our son loves the games they play. She is very thorough with her updates to us as parents which we find very reassuring. In just four months we can see a massive improvement in our son's confidence & attitude towards his maths & the improvement in his maths tests are already starting to show. We cannot recommend Jackie highly enough.' Mr & Mrs D L-H, parents in Surrey
'We engaged Jackie on recommendation from another parent to help our son regain some confidence lost following the pandemic and the lengthy period of home schooling, which he found very hard work. Jackie is very patient and clear with him and lets him ask questions when he doesn't understand. He is brimming with confidence after three half terms and in his own words "the tuition is knocking his maths out of the park" and he feels he is easily grasping things in class now because he has covered it with Jackie. We also like to receive the weekly feedback from Jackie after each session. We will continue until he has completed his GSCE and would have no hesitation recommending Jackie to other parents.' Mrs A, parent in West Sussex
