Phonics Tutors: 1-1 Phonics Preparation

I am an experienced tutor who aims to make learning fun and rewarding. I started tutoring while I was studying my degree and discovered that I loved it! After completing my degree, I started tutoring privately and then joined tutoring companies such as Explore Learning and Catch Up Academy.

I tutor English, math and science from KS1 up to KS3 in person and online. I also tutor 11+ (GL and CEM) and GCSE Maths where I work to prepare students for the exams. I specialise in tutoring people who have SENDs needs or require to be home schooled. I will ensure that the student’s needs are met during the sessions and I am flexible when it comes to tutoring. I can also support you with developing coping strategies, build confidence or finding different approaches when it comes to learning or taking exams.

My goal to provide a safe and encouraging learning environment where the student has accomplished their goal by the end of the session. I will also support students to build their confidence, learn from mistakes and to apply their knowledge. I will always provide feedback at the end of every session so the student is kept up to date on what they’ve accomplished.

I am a highly motivated and forward-thinking individual dedicated to empowering children within the education system. I am deeply passionate about supporting the youth and firmly believe in their potential for success. In today’s educational landscape, fostering inclusivity and providing equal opportunities for all is paramount.
My background is in Psychology, and I continued to complete a PGCE in 2017. Since then, I have taught across 25 various schools across Staffordshire and now successfully run a tuition company which is based in Burton Upon Trent. I have experience of teaching children of different ages and year groups. I am truly passionate about teaching children of different ages and backgrounds, making a difference to their learning experiences and education.
Teachers are important for several reasons. They play a crucial role in shaping our knowledge and skills, helping us understand complex subjects and think critically. They also inspire and motivate students, encouraging them to pursue their passions and reach their full potential. Beyond academics, teachers often provide guidance and support, helping students navigate challenges both in and out of the classroom. Overall, they help create a positive learning environment that fosters growth and development.

Hello! My name is Jaimini and I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a first class degree in Classics. I specialised in Greek literature and philosophy but also had the chance to hone my Latin skills. I am keen to help out with CAT preparation, mock interviews, personal statement help and anything else Classics admission related.

I did English Literature and History to A level too, and have kept up my passion for modern literature (my favourite novel is Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca, which I completed an EPQ on). I am also keen to tutor English up to A level. I can help with both essay writing and general text based revision, having myself achieved the highest mark in the world in English Literature GCSE and continuing the subject onto A level, achieving an A*.

In my spare time, I really enjoy playing the piano and collecting vinyls to listen to on my record player. I am also a bookworm, so always happy to try and weave in my students’ favourite books into sessions when possible :).

I have graduated from the University of Oxford with a 2.1 in Philosophy and Theology. Prior to attending Oxford, I achieved A*A*A* in English Literature, Latin and Religious Studies, with 5 A*S, 4 Grade 9s and a Grade 8 in GCSEs.

For the past few years, I have been a private tutor which has also entailed mentoring young students and seeing them progress and achieving their dream spots at their universities. This has enabled me to build client relationships and to handle multiple concurrent tasks, since I balanced tutoring with my ability to thrive in Oxford’s rigorous academic environment. I also believe that I work well under time constraints and to meet deadlines, which is an ability that my time at Oxford has prepared me well for.

I am well-placed to provide tuition at 11 and 13+, as well as English Language, English Literature and RE GCSE, A-Level and degree-level tuition. I am also up-to-date on examination syllabi and the requirements needed for achieving top marks.

I have tutoring experience in GCSE English Language, GCSE English Literature, GCSE Religious Studies and Oxbridge Classics admissions. I also mentor students in application for Oxbridge Classics, as I changed degrees in my third year, and assisted a student in her successful entrance to Oxford for Classics via personal statement, interview/test advice and general information about the course and university life. Therefore, I am available to support Oxbridge Classics admissions.

Hello! My name is Yasmin and I’m a final year medical student at the University of Cambridge. I achieved 3A*s at A-level and received offers from Cambridge, UCL, Imperial and KCL for medicine and Queen Mary University for biomedical sciences. In 2022 I received my degree in natural sciences from Cambridge, achieving a 1st in my immunology research project.
Since 2021, I have helped students receive offers for medicine, natural sciences and biomedical sciences, both at Oxbridge and other universities. I enjoy mentoring students and demystifying the application process through sharing my own experiences and that of my previous students.
In addition to my studies and tutoring, I balance academic research, committee roles and extracurricular activities within the Cambridge community. In my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries and playing musical instruments!
