Alice W.

New tutor

Hi, I’m Alice! I’m a qualified teacher with a degree in English Literature, which is a subject I’ve always really enjoyed. I love exploring stories, characters and different interpretations of texts, and I particularly enjoy helping students become more confident in expressing their own ideas. I’m friendly, patient and approachable, and I believe lessons should be engaging and give students the confidence to develop their own opinions. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, travelling, exploring new places and spending time with family and friends. I’m really looking forward to meeting my students and helping them build their confidence, discover what they enjoy about learning and achieve their goals. My educational journey began at Plympton Academy, where I attended both secondary school and sixth form from 2011 to 2018. During my time there, I developed a strong interest in English and the arts, which ultimately influenced my decision to pursue these subjects at university. From 2018 to 2021, I studied Drama and English Literature at the University of Winchester, completing my undergraduate degree. My degree allowed me to develop a strong understanding of English literature, while also strengthening my communication, presentation and analytical skills through the study of Drama. I particularly enjoyed exploring different texts, developing interpretations and communicating ideas clearly, skills which have continued to be valuable throughout my teaching career. Following my undergraduate degree, I completed my PGCE at Plymouth Marjon University from 2022 to 2023, specialising in primary education. This gave me the professional training and practical experience required to become a qualified teacher. During my teacher training, I developed my understanding of the primary curriculum, lesson planning, assessment, behaviour management and, importantly, how to adapt teaching to meet the individual needs of different learners. From 2024 to 2026, I worked as a primary school teacher, gaining experience teaching children across the primary age range and developing a broad knowledge of the National Curriculum. My teaching experience has involved planning and delivering lessons, assessing pupils' progress, identifying areas where learners need additional support and adapting my approach to help pupils make progress. Alongside my academic background, my experience in primary education has given me a strong foundation in English, reading, writing and general primary curriculum subjects, as well as experience supporting children with different learning needs and levels of confidence. I am now looking to bring this combination of academic knowledge and practical teaching experience into tutoring, providing students with supportive, engaging and personalised lessons that help them to develop both their skills and their confidence.

Siobhan C.

New tutor

Hi! I'm Siobhan. I'm passionate about helping people learn in a way that feels relaxed, supportive and enjoyable. I know that learning something new can sometimes feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and building confidence at their own pace. I have a background in English and communication, and I enjoy helping students improve their language skills while making lessons engaging and practical. Outside of tutoring, I love creative writing, poetry, arts and crafts, travelling and exploring different cultures. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and celebrating your progress along the way! I hold a BA (Hons) in Journalism with English Language (2:1) from the University of Portsmouth. Throughout my degree, I developed strong skills in English language, grammar, writing, communication, critical thinking and text analysis. My studies involved analysing a wide range of written texts, improving academic writing, conducting research and presenting information clearly to different audiences. This educational background has given me a strong understanding of the English language, which I enjoy sharing with students. I believe in making learning engaging, supportive and tailored to each individual's needs, helping students build both their confidence and their skills.

Rebecca C.

New tutor

My name is Rebecca and I am from South Wales, United Kingdom. I have experienced living in different places around the UK and I lived in London for several years, which was an amazing experience to meet people from international countries and learn many things about their culture and interests too. I enjoy cooking at home, as formally I have trained on the job as a professional chef, mainly in seafood/fish restaurants and Japanese cuisine. Also, I like going for a walk down the coastline and taking in the scenic views, photography and sometimes video gaming when the time arises. For over a year, I have been teaching English online as a second language to Taiwanese and Chinese students, both juniors and adults. Which became an interest whilst I was teaching sushi classes in London. I decided to advance onto teaching specifically English and conversational topics chosen by students, to further improve their overall English language. From education I gained a TEFL level 5 teaching qualification and a BSc (Hons) in Food and Consumer Management from Birmingham University. Which focused on live industry projects within the FMCG sector, nutrition and the business elements within the food industry. I enjoy cooking at home, particularly Japanese cuisine and seafood dishes that I learnt previously as a professional chef.

Hello! My name is Anna Mai, and I am a passionate and dedicated tutor currently studying to become an Early Years Teacher. I have extensive experience working with children and young people in educational settings, and I am committed to helping every student build confidence, develop their skills, and achieve their full potential. Alongside my studies, I work in a Montessori setting and part-time in afterschool care, where I support children's learning, social development, and overall wellbeing. These roles have given me valuable experience in adapting lessons and activities to suit different learning styles and abilities. I understand that every child learns differently, and I enjoy finding creative and engaging ways to make learning enjoyable and accessible. I also spent three years teaching and studying abroad, which broadened my understanding of education and allowed me to work with students from diverse backgrounds. This experience strengthened my communication skills, adaptability, and ability to build positive relationships with learners and their families. As a tutor, I strive to create a supportive, encouraging, and patient learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves. Whether a student needs help building foundational skills, improving academic performance, or gaining confidence in a particular subject, I am dedicated to providing personalised support that meets their individual needs. I am kind, caring, reliable, and enthusiastic about education. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but also to foster a love of learning that will benefit them throughout their lives. I look forward to supporting students on their educational journey and helping them reach their goals. I am currently studying Early Years and Childhood Studies at University College Cork (UCC), where I am developing a strong understanding of child development, early childhood education, inclusive practice, and effective teaching methodologies. My studies have provided me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills that enable me to support children's learning and development in a meaningful and engaging way. In addition to my current studies, I spent three years studying abroad in the ITEPS International Teacher Education for Primary Schools programme. This international teacher education programme gave me valuable experience in primary education, exposing me to a range of teaching approaches, educational systems, and multicultural learning environments. Studying and teaching alongside people from diverse backgrounds strengthened my communication, adaptability, and intercultural skills while deepening my passion for education. Alongside my academic background, I have gained extensive practical experience working with children. I currently work in a Montessori setting, where I support children's learning through child-centred, hands-on activities that encourage independence, creativity, and confidence. I also work part-time in afterschool care, assisting children with homework, organising educational and recreational activities, and supporting their social and emotional development. These experiences have allowed me to work with children of different ages, abilities, and learning styles, helping me develop strong skills in behaviour support, lesson planning, communication, and student engagement. I am passionate about helping children achieve their full potential and creating a positive, supportive learning environment where they feel confident to learn, grow, and succeed. My combination of university study, international teacher education experience, and hands-on work with children has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm needed to support students on their educational journey.

Aishwarya C.

New tutor

Hello and a warm welcome to my profile! 😊 I'm Aishwarya, an experienced English tutor with 10 years of experience with a Marketing and Consulting background. As a marketer, I specialise in making language vivid, engaging, and precise. I bring that exact approach to my teaching: breaking down complex topics into clear, digestible, and memorable steps. Whether your child is preparing for the 11+, aiming for a Grade 9 in GCSE English, or looking for academic proofreading, my lessons focus on building confidence, mastering exam technique, and achieving top results. How I Help Students Succeed Many students struggle with interpreting tricky exam questions or structuring high-scoring answers. I break these down using visual guides, step-by-step frameworks, and past-paper practice so students feel completely equipped on exam day. Subjects Offered 11+ & SATs (English & Verbal Reasoning): Focused preparation covering comprehension, SPAG, reading skills, and verbal reasoning, complete with practice papers and stretch challenges. GCSE English Language (AQA & Edexcel): Detailed paper recaps, past-paper walkthroughs, and targeted techniques to help students reach Grades 7–9. Primary English: Interactive 1-hour sessions focused on spelling, grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary development. Degree-Level Proofreading & Marketing Mentoring: 1.5-hour sessions covering marketing content, essay structure, grammar, and citation reviews for undergraduate work. My Approach Learning should be supportive and encouraging and there is no such thing as a silly question! I use a variety of techniques and methods (including visual annotations, videos, games) to make it easier to digest content. Online Safety I take safety very seriously. I hold an up-to-date Enhanced DBS check, 3 safeguarding qualifications (working with children, 16-25yrs, and online tutors) and have worked with learners from age 6 up to university level. Rest assured, I always ensure the online learning environment is a comfortable place where you learn grow, ask questions without pressure or hesitation. 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐦 MSc Strategic Marketing and Consulting BSc (Hons) Business Management with Marketing 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 HND in Business 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 GCSE English and Mathematics both at grade B/7 Academia was never my strong point because I did not fit the 'standard' template of what a 'good' student looked like: I was slow at learning, did not understand basic concepts and had very little help from teachers. It took me many years to 'unlearn' a lot of presumptions and expectations people had on learners to get to where I am today. However, after mastering the techniques for GCSE and 11+ and passing this on to so many children, I've helped them to achieve outstanding grades that I never would ever have dreamed of getting back in their day. "What's the secret?" you might ask. It's a lot of resilience and perseverance and this is exactly what I bring into sessions. I know it's not easy climbing up in the educational ladder but I can assure you with the tools, assistance and encouragement from a mentor that really wants to help your dream grades, it can 𝒂𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 be done.

How online English tuition can benefit you

English tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence

Studying English at school includes technical aspects of the language such as grammar and vocabulary, and English literature focuses on text analysis and creative writing.

English-related skills such as reading and writing are vital throughout school, regardless of the subject matter. Learning how to communicate your thoughts clearly boosts self-confidence, improves vocabulary and leads to better exam results.

GoStudent English tutors offer one-to-one lessons tailored to your child’s needs, helping them understand where their weaknesses are in their written work and working with them to improve their writing style.

The advantages of studying English

English is an essential subject in the national curriculum. All students are required to pass English exams at primary school and English makes up one of the three core GCSE subjects in secondary school.

Studying for an English and Literature A-level or an undergraduate or master's degree can be hugely rewarding. Not only will you learn a great deal about the language, you will also be introduced to radically different ways of understanding and explaining the world.

An English degree can open the door to a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as teaching, editing, journalism and law. There is also a growing market for teaching English as a second language either at home or overseas, where the demand might be higher.

English tuition at primary school

English tuition at primary school is an excellent way to prepare for the future. Studying reading and writing helps with English language skills in general, and learning about different authors and their works may very well ignite a passion for reading in your child, laying the foundation for study at a higher level.

English exam preparation and English revision classes

GCSE exams are the qualifications students take at the age of 16. GCSE English provides a solid foundation for studying humanities courses at a higher level, and skills taught include writing essays, reading comprehension and text analysis.

If your child choose to continue to study English Language and Literature at A-level, it's extremely important for them to achieve a solid GCSE foundation.

English tutors can provide:

  • Exam technique training
  • Essay writing practice
  • Speaking, listening and vocabulary development

Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.

Finding a private English tutor online

During your free trial lesson with GoStudent, your English tutor will gain an understanding of your child’s strengths and weaknesses and create an individual learning plan that’s uniquely tailored to them.

After the lesson, you can decide which membership model will best meet your child’s needs. The lessons will continue via our practical online platform using video chat and practical digital tools.

Answering student's questions about online English lessons

How much does private English tuition cost?

Prices for private English tuition can be as low as £21.99. The cost of each individual lesson will depend on how many lessons your child takes per week and how long they would like tuition for. Book a free trial session to see how affordable private English tutoring can be with GoStudent.

As well as English, does GoStudent offer private tuition in other subjects?

GoStudent can help give your child support with private English tuition as well as offering tuition for 40+ subjects. Select from a range of subjects including Chemistry, Physics, Spanish. Your child isn't tied into one subject with GoStudent. Maybe your child needs support with English now but as their needs change we can also offer tuition across different subjects. If you are looking for a tutor for yourself we also have English tutors for Adults.

What are the benefits of private English tutoring for your child?

There are many reasons why parents decide to hire a private English tutor. Some parents fear that they don’t have the knowledge to help their children with their English homework or exam preparation. Others might not have the time to sit with children and work through homework. Our English tutors can take away this stress by helping your child consolidate what they have been learning in school, working through their homework with them and building their confidence ahead of their exams. You can rest easy knowing that our tutors are experts in English and have the knowledge and teaching abilities to not only spark your child’s interest in the subject but also foster a lifelong love of learning. Discover how your child can take advantage of these benefits by booking a free trial lesson.

Online tuition is a great option for you and your child, meaning you don't have to take your child to a class or cover the cost of a tutor to come to your home.
