I was Head of English at two independent colleges in London and have worked abroad teaching Business English to adults and EFL to foreign students. I have been an examiner for the AQA, and an OCR A-level moderator; I am also familiar with the requirements of the other exam boards such as EDEXCEL. Ofsted graded my lessons "outstanding" for instilling in my pupils a love of the written word. I have worked in a Special School and was trained in how to deal with autism, Asperger's, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. Recently I have been tutoring for the Common Entrance exams and helped a young man gain entry to the prestigious Stowe School.

I have over twenty years of experience teaching in schools and privately in the UK and abroad. Throughout the last nine years, I have had the opportunity to also host and teach international pupils in my own home, which has been very enjoyable. I enjoy walks in the countryside, reading, visiting places of interest, going to the theatre, and swimming.

I have additional qualifications which I believe are beneficial to teaching. These are counselling certificates, TESOL, safeguarding children certificates, SCIP and prevent awareness training. I update my training regularly and have regular observations with the language schools I work with.

Tuition with a qualified EFL or ESL teacher at your home costs from £46.00 ph. Online tuition with a qualified EFL or ESL teacher costs from £40.00 ph. Create your own small tuition group and EFL or ESL tuition costs from £17.50 ph.

Because we only ever work with qualified and experienced EFL or ESL teachers, you will always get a highly experienced teacher who is safe, reliable and up to speed with the current curriculum and exam requirements. There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our EFL or ESL teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves an EFL or ESL tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the EFL or ESL tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the EFL or ESL tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the EFL or ESL tutor is required to travel to your home. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your EFL or ESL tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your EFL or ESL tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of EFL or ESL tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group EFL or ESL tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
