Joshua was very professional, as well as creating an open and friendly atmosphere. My son enjoyed the session, which is unusual for him. We will be working with Joshua in the future.
Joshua is helping me read Great Expectations. He is very helpful.
He is very punctual too.
Joshua is very knowledgeable and patient and has good control over how he allocates his time. Today I had my first lesson and he was very well prepared and organized. Joshua is competent, professional, and methodical. I am looking forward to learning more about English literature. Highly recommended!
This class is for anyone who wishes to practice or improve their English speaking, listening, reading and writing abilities.
The class will focus on the practical, everyday use of English, with up-to-date, real-world material (such as recent news articles) and coursebooks.
If preferred, the class can be strictly conversation.
However, the usual process will involve one-to-one tasks, understanding vocabulary and grammar, and periodic progress reviews.
This class is to assist you with your university assignments. Whether you require help with essay composition, research, or presenting to the class or examiner, this class can help
Specialising in English literature and language, I can also assist with other subjects within the arts and humanities.
Send a message and we can arrange a first session.
This class is for anyone interested in the literature of Great Britain and the English speaking world, from beginners to advanced.
The focus is to learn about, analyse and understand key works of English Literature.
It is possible to focus on one highlight (such as Shakespearean, Modern, Medieval) or one part of the world (such as Ireland, America, England).
The class will use the works themselves, such as Dickens, Eliot, or Woolf, and will read and analyse in detail, with set essays and discussions.
Even beginners are welcome.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

Creative Writing for Advanced Writers! Refine Your Story and Let Your Voice Be Heard!Writing is an individual and vulnerable process. When we creatively write, we are telling stories, and the effectiveness of each sentence affects how readers interpret our stories and us as writers. I know better than anyone how vulnerable it can be to share your writing. I also have an intimate understanding of the technical writing skills required to keep readers engaged and to get published.
In this class, you'll learn how to:
-Structure stories and paragraphs with appropriate beats and pacing.
-Build complex, fully realized characters.
-Write engaging, realistic dialogue in novel or screenwriting format.
-Hook readers to the page using pacing techniques and red herrings.
I can provide story and character consultation and feedback on your current projects.
This is an advanced class. Please do not sign up for this class unless you have experience in creative writing. This may be a good class for a writer who has just finished their first novel and is looking for advice on editing and story consultation. It also may be a good opportunity for writers who have finished novels or scripts and are looking for advice on a new project. I also offer beginner and intermediate creative writing classes
I am a published author and produced screenwriter. Don't miss your chance to take one of my classes. You and your writing skills won't regret it.

Engaging Creative Writing Classes (For All Levels)I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing.
I have a special passion for creative writing, which I specifically studied in my joint honours degree (BA English with Creative Writing), and specialise in producing stories, written poetry, and spoken word poetry which I have previously performed at events. I have run creative writing workshops for children at previous educational centres and love to make writing enjoyable, engaging and exciting for all of my students at all levels.
I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride am an attentive listener and I carefully plan my lessons according to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN, ESOL, and younger pupils. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.
Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they want to excel at, and helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.
I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.
I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!

The class is a mix of reading, spelling, and creative writing, making it engaging and diverse.

English: Communication, Vocabulary, creative writingIn my typical communication and writing class, I focus on engaging students through a hands-on, interactive approach. I believe in fostering an environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas. My classes often begin with a brief introduction to the day’s topic, whether it’s vocabulary building, sentence structure, or crafting compelling narratives. I encourage participation by incorporating group discussions, writing exercises, and real-life examples to make the content relatable.
During the lessons, I emphasize clarity, coherence, and creativity in writing. I guide students on how to effectively organize their thoughts and use precise vocabulary to convey their messages. We analyze various writing styles, dissecting passages to understand tone, style, and purpose.
Feedback is a crucial part of the process, so I regularly provide constructive criticism, helping students identify areas for improvement while celebrating their strengths. I also prioritize practical application, encouraging students to write short pieces during class, which we review together. This allows them to immediately apply what they’ve learned and improve through practice.
By the end of the class, my goal is for students to leave feeling more confident in their communication skills and inspired to continue refining their writing abilities.
