Mrs Shade D
EFL or ESL Tutor

I am an experienced teacher of English Literature and Language, with expertise in creative writing, Shakespearean tragedy and a passion for social, political protest writing. I have years of experience in exam preparation and marking for both GCSE and A Level, across various exam boards. As Head of KS3 English at Fort Pitt Grammar School, I developed the Year 7/8/9 curriculum, focusing on raising reading age, offering breadth and variety in literature and transitioning to GCSE . At GCSE, working predominantly in a grammar setting, I specialised in stretch and challenge for high achievers as well as structured and tailored support for students struggling with English. Each year, I have gained highly successful GCSE results, with 100% 4-9 and over 65% achieving 7-9. I strive to support students in reaching their potential by creating an open, personal environment. Students are encouraged to actively engage with and lead their sessions and assess and reflect regularly, to build on and secure their skills.

Karen R
£40.00 to £48.00 ph

Ms Karen R
EFL or ESL Tutor

With over 20 years in teaching, I combine teaching and tutoring with being a commercial writer. This creates a successful balance of understanding school expectations whilst being able to use a fresh, appropriate (and unique!) approach. I work with pupils from Years 3 to 11 and offer preparation for Kent Test, SATs, 11+ and 13+ examinations. I have worked successfully with both SEN and gifted and talented students and offer Eng Lang up to *GCSE, Maths up to KS3 and TEFL. Organised and encouraging, I adapt sessions to the learning style and level of each student. Whilst pressing for progress, lessons are fun and interactive. It is common to discover gaps in understanding that can be filled. This builds a firm foundation for future progress. Students progress with 1:1 because success and confidence is natural when work matches needs. *Students struggling to pass, not top grades

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.
