Hi, I’m Tasnia, a passionate English tutor and aspiring solicitor, currently completing my final year of a BSc in Global Humanitarian Studies at University College London. Over the past three years, I’ve developed a wealth of experience tutoring English Language and Literature across a range of levels in both one-to-one and group settings, and in person as well as online. My goal as a tutor is simple: to make learning empowering, inclusive, and enjoyable for every student I work with. I take a student-centred and strengths-based approach to tutoring. Rather than applying a rigid lesson structure to every learner, I begin by listening - asking students what they feel confident in, where they’re struggling, and how they prefer to learn. This helps me shape tailored, interactive lessons that not only address key academic content but also boost students’ motivation, confidence, and self-awareness. Where appropriate, I bring subject matter to life by relating it to students’ interests and hobbies. I want every student to feel that English is something they can connect with, not just a subject to pass. Much of my tutoring work has involved supporting students with special educational needs, including those with ADHD and dyslexia. I take care to adapt my lessons to suit individual learning styles, whether that means using more visual resources, offering regular brain breaks, or breaking tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. As someone who understands the challenges that come with neurodivergence in academic environments, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where students feel free to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow in their own time. I’ve also worked with many students who speak English as a second or additional language, including those who are newly arrived in the UK and still building confidence with written and spoken English. These students often benefit from strategies that go beyond the curriculum such as building cultural context, decoding idioms, and focusing on language through conversation. Supporting them has deepened my understanding of how language and identity intersect, and has sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, patiently, and respectfully across different levels of fluency. In a previous role as an English tutor, I worked with a range of exam boards including Edexcel and AQA. I was trained in pedagogical best practices, including the science of how students engage with and retain information. I was regularly evaluated and received feedback to ensure I was delivering high-impact, student-centred lessons. This experience strengthened my ability to plan structured sessions while remaining flexible and responsive to each learner’s needs. Outside of tutoring, I’ve also worked as a mentor for Zero Gravity, a social mobility platform that supports high-achieving students from underrepresented backgrounds in gaining places at top universities. I’ve mentored students on their personal statements, interview preparation, and wider university application strategy, drawing from my own experience applying and receiving offers from institutions like Cambridge, LSE, and King’s College London. Having secured a Cambridge interview, I understand the level of academic engagement, independence, and communication needed to stand out in competitive admissions processes. I also know how important it is to present a compelling, authentic narrative — especially for students who may not have had access to traditional support systems in their schools. As someone with long-term aspirations in the legal profession, I bring a strong sense of structure, detail, and critical thinking to my teaching. I believe English is a powerful subject not just for academic success, but also for developing essential life skills.

Hello, my name is Isabella. I am currently pursuing a degree in English Studies, studying at Trinity College Dublin. This subject has been a great love of mine for many years and I hope to build up and inspire my students. I am a dedicated tutor, wanting to work with the needs of each of my students, specifically on areas that they need to be bolstered. In school I achieved three A*s and an A in my subjects, English, History, Theatre Studies, and 3-D Design, and my GCSEs were similarly all 8s and 9s (A*s). I left school with a great understanding of what is needed to achieve these grades and I would love to work with students to help them on a similar journey. My accomplishments convey my love for the subject, commitment, and consistent academic performance.

I am a final year English Language and Literature student at the University of Oxford. I have experience tutoring both informally as well as having had some exposure to formal tutoring with the Kumon programme. I also provide admissions mentoring and advice on the Zero Gravity platform and had taught abroad in Thailand for 3 months last summer. Since starting university, I have been a part of several admissions and access programmes as a student ambassador so I have cultivated a wealth of knowledge to share. I took A-Level English Literature, A-Level History, A-Level Philosophy & R.e, and did an English based EPQ. I got AAAA* in my A-Levels and I got accepted into all 5 of my university choices (Oxford,Durham, Edinburgh, York, Reading). I am happy to tutor GCSE and A-Level English Language and/or Literature. At the end of the day, I am just a bookworm who would like to engage my tutees and allow them to grow a genuine love and appreciation for what they’re reading or writing. I would like to make the subject enjoyable as they are learning and growing as a student. English is enriching as it is a subject that helps students develop their communication and comprehension skills for the future, so I am here to help with that. My approach will hopefully lead students to be independent thinkers.

I recently graduated from Cambridge with a double first in History and an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies. My hobbies include playing Netball and Hockey, running, painting and listening to music!

I am happy to tutor students of any ability / level and aim to make every lesson interactive, engaging, and helpful. I look forward to meeting you!

I am Tanisha Kirpalani, a Medical student at the University of Manchester. I am an IB graduate from Dulwich College Singapore, where I achieved a 42 with 7s in Biology Chemistry Psych HL and Math AA SL, as well as an A in my Extended Essay and TOK. believe in tailoring my teaching to the individual needs of each student and , recognizing that everyone learns differently, and prioritizing weaker areas that need more focus. Finally, at the core of any big exam lies a vital and often overlooked component - the 'markscheme'. As a tutor I aim to develop an in-depth understanding of this in students to help them score better in the tests and interviews they will face.
