Muntas
Maths and English and year 6 sats practice with mock examsWelcome to my Maths and English tutoring classes, designed for students in Years 1 to 7. With four years of experience in helping students build confidence and mastery in these subjects, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.
Maths: In our Maths sessions, we will focus on key concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and basic geometry. I use interactive games, real-life applications, and problem-solving activities to make learning enjoyable and relevant. My approach emphasizes understanding over memorization, ensuring that students develop strong foundational skills that will serve them throughout their academic journey.
English: For English, we will work on reading comprehension, vocabulary development, grammar, and writing skills. I encourage students to express their ideas creatively through storytelling and structured writing exercises. We will also explore various texts to enhance their understanding and appreciation of literature, fostering a love for reading.
Why Choose Me? With four years of experience, I have honed my ability to identify individual learning styles and tailor lessons accordingly. I believe in creating a positive and encouraging atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is to empower students with the skills they need to succeed and foster a lifelong love for learning.
Let’s embark on this educational journey together!

Maths and English tutoring for school children up to GCSE level, offered by an LSE Masters StudentI 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.

Sidra
Learn numbers, reading, and much more with Miss SidraI am a graduate in Economics, securing a first class honors, with straight As back in school. I have 6 years of tutoring experience, including teaching at schools too.
My approach to teaching is more student centric, with the focus of individual needs of the student, not a general teaching style. Hence the practice work, strategy and ways are customised. There is no one size fits all. I do make sure however to be a friend of my students rather than a strict teacher, in a way that thye remember even after leaving.
I love children since always and teaching fulfils me. I feel happy to see children learn, grow, and become more confident after bettering their skills. I hate to see students and give up simply due to lack of motivation from school.

Italian, English (ESL), Spanish teaching and tutoringKnowing a language nowadays has become extremely important. Our need to communicate and relate with the world has increased and so, in order to be able to feel confident with it, we need the right tools and methods.
Have you ever been keen on one particular language and willing to learn it? Are you a student struggling to understand your teacher tasks and to get a good grade? Would you like to get better at English as a second language (speaking, writing, reading and listening)?
I could be the answer to all these questions.
