Qualified English tutor - private english tutor gcse, esol & ielts

Qualified Teacher with Enhanced DBS

I’m a qualified English Tutor and have been teaching since 2011. I’ve worked in a range of academic and alternative-education provision settings. I have taught a range of subjects but currently teach GCSE English Language and Literature, English Functional Skills and English as a Foreign Language. Before teaching these subjects I taught Psychology and Criminology. I’ve taught learners in public and private schools, as well as those in home education.

I have an enhanced DBS (UK Government Disclosure & Barring Service) which is required in the UK to work with children. Employers can see my status on the DBS Update Service. If, as a private individual, you would like to see my certificate, please let me know.

Please contact me to find out more about online or in-person tutoring.

For information about GCSE English Tutoring rates and what to expect in tutoring sessions, please see the tutoring page.

Thanks!

About Me

I grew up in a town just outside of London, but I lived in the USA for several years (California, New York and Colorado) and spent one year living in Germany.

I’ve done a lot of work with students at colleges and universities, as well as lots of work with immigrants learning English as a Foreign Language.

I worked at a University in the USA so I’m particularly familiar with differences between American English and British English. I’ve also volunteered my services teaching English to people from Ukraine. This included a specialist role training teachers of English in Ukraine. I’ve recently enjoyed working with several families from Hong Kong. I’ve also worked extensively with young people pursuing professional sports careers (including athletes who have moved to the UK to train with top teams). This has helped build my skills as a GCSE ESOL tutor and specialist.

For more details about my professional experience please look at my LinkedIn profile.

Some informal info about me:

I love cats, my favourite drink is coffee, I enjoy strength training, and my favourite way to relax in the evening is practicing calligraphy while listening to audiobooks.
