Imogen - Islington£26
£26Maths and English tutoring for school children up to GCSE level, offered by an LSE Masters Student
I achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities. On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well! I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful. Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson. In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them. During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.

Sunanda - Harringay£20
£20Math , French, English , Science, Test preparation , Boost up class
I specialize in tutoring math, English , French and Science for school and the SAT exams. I have a very good teaching experience working with children and I got the chance to enhance my teaching skills during the pandemic when all educational institutions had to switch to online teaching. I successfully managed good discipline, good time management to assure completeness of syllabus and also fun loving class with good results at the end. I am confident about my abilities to make students love what they are being taught and be happy to join a class. The willingness and eagerness of joining a class is a two way traffic: both student and tutor must feel that eagerness and love to learn and teach. My own love for teaching creates a positive atmosphere that inspire students. I enjoy creating lesson plans that help students understand the subject . One of my strength as a teacher is my ability to establish strong relationships with my students. I believe that creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment is key to fostering student engagement and success. This class is for French beginners. I will start as simple as doing phonics and make you acquire the accent. In a globalized world, being able to speak a second or third language is something that offers people value for the rest of their lives. While there is a lot of evidence that says the younger a child learns, the better, children acquire pronunciation, accent, and grammar rules best. At the start , it will seem difficult or maybe impossible , but once you can onboard with me , after every lesson you will feel more confident. Class for Math , English and Science is basically for those attending primary school and sitting for SAT exams. A good start of preparing ,understanding and knowing where the child needs more support is very crucial. I assign simple homework to better understand their weakness and strengths and hereafter recommend handbooks as per their needs and we work together for better results.

Elaine - Woodford Green£41
£41Mastery in maths, phonics and reading, writing and ESL help
My approach to teaching primary maths is rooted in the mastery framework, which emphasizes deep, long-term understanding rather than just surface-level memorization. This method is essential as it builds a solid foundation, allowing students to grasp concepts thoroughly and apply them confidently. I place significant importance on the use of manipulatives, as they offer hands-on experiences that make abstract ideas more concrete. By engaging students actively, manipulatives enhance both understanding and enjoyment, fostering a more meaningful and lasting connection with mathematical concepts. I use the Ruth Miskin phonics scheme in my teaching, which provides a structured, systematic approach to developing reading and writing skills. This method emphasizes the clear progression of sounds, blending, and decoding, helping children build confidence and fluency. By following this scheme, I ensure that students grasp phonics in a fun, engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development. With extensive experience across subjects like maths, phonics, writing, and teaching English as an additional language, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. My approachable nature ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking support, while my enthusiasm for teaching fosters a positive and engaging learning environment. I tailor my methods to each student's needs, making sure they build confidence and mastery in whichever subject they're tackling, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their full potential.
