GCSE & KS2-4 English Language and Literature Tutoring – Personalized Support for Success

Hello! I’m Zakaria Bhaidka, a dedicated English Language and Literature tutor with experience working with students across GCSE, KS2, KS3, and KS4 levels. I am passionate about helping each student reach their potential and gain a genuine appreciation for English. With experience supporting students of all abilities, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), I take pride in tailoring my approach to fit each learner’s unique needs. I’m familiar with popular resources, like CGP revision guides and key GCSE texts, which I incorporate to make each session effective, enjoyable, and closely aligned with the curriculum.

Working with SEN students has taught me the value of patience, adaptability, and creating a supportive learning environment. I’m focused on building confidence and trust, so each student can feel at ease, engaged, and open to learning. My background includes mentoring and tutoring young people as well as taking care of children with special needs while working with SNUFS (special needs under fives). This strengthened my ability to connect with students and make learning approachable.

**About the Class**

In this class, I provide targeted support for students preparing for their GCSEs or seeking to strengthen their English skills at KS2, KS3, or KS4. My lessons cover critical areas such as reading comprehension, essay writing, creative writing, and analysis, all tailored to each student's abilities and learning style.

For GCSE students, I am well-versed in the curriculum and commonly studied texts like *Macbeth*, *An Inspector Calls*, and key poetry anthologies. I integrate these materials into lessons to ensure students not only understand the content but also develop strong exam skills through practice exercises and mock exams. Familiarity with past paper questions allows me to prepare students for exam-style scenarios and boost their confidence.

For younger students, I focus on building a strong foundation in reading, grammar, and writing. I design interactive, creative exercises to spark a love of English and critical thinking that will benefit them long-term. For students with SEN, I adapt my teaching techniques to be accessible and flexible, using a variety of learning methods and pacing the sessions in ways that suit each child.

My approach is friendly, encouraging, and tailored to support each student in achieving their goals, whether they are looking to boost their grades or grow in their love for the subject. If you’re looking for a committed tutor who understands both the curriculum and the importance of individualized learning, please reach out—I’d love to help your child succeed in English.

About Me

Hello! I’m Zakaria, an English Language and Literature tutor passionate about helping students succeed and enjoy their studies. I specialize in tutoring GCSE and KS2-4 English, with experience supporting learners of all abilities, including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I believe in creating a patient, supportive environment tailored to each student’s unique learning style, making lessons engaging, accessible, and aligned with exam requirements. My goal is to build confidence and inspire a genuine love for English in every student I work with.

Education

I completed my A-levels in English Language and Literature, Law, and Psychology, subjects that have given me a strong foundation in critical thinking, analysis, and communication skills—essential elements for teaching English effectively. I also have a solid academic background with a total of 9 GCSEs, including English and Maths. Currently, I am pursuing a BSc in Psychology, which enriches my understanding of learning processes and helps me better support students, particularly those with unique learning needs. My background equips me with the skills and knowledge to help students excel in English and approach their studies with confidence.

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience working with students across a range of abilities and needs, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I’ve supported students both one-on-one and in small group settings, helping them to build essential skills in English Language and Literature and develop their confidence in preparation for exams. My work includes tutoring younger family members and mentoring students, which has taught me the patience, adaptability, and empathy needed to connect with each learner effectively.

In my tutoring sessions, I focus on creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their ideas. My experience with SEN students has taught me to tailor my approach to each individual’s learning style, breaking down complex topics into manageable steps and using diverse methods to suit different needs. This background, along with my strong foundation in English from A-levels and my ongoing study of Psychology, enables me to offer students both the academic support and encouragement they need to thrive.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Albanian/"Shqip"(Improve Academic/Language skills, Proofreading): Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
Albanian as a language is very distinguishable as it has its own branch in the Indo-Europian language tree. It is an ancient language transferred from the Illyrians who lived in the Balkan peninsula. As it is my native language, I have always helped and tutored people who are ethnically Albanian but have been raised outside of Kosovo or Albania and do not have a complete understanding of their mother tongue. Together, we will focus on all fundamentals, including the core bases of Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking. Throughout lessons, we will practice together with additional homework. I am looking forward to meeting you soon. "Jeni të mirëseardhur!".
