  • British English, ESL, Listening Comprehension, TOEIC, Writing Comprehension
Patient and Experienced English Tutor
My name is Joanita and I am passionate about teaching English. I have taught English to speakers of other languages from France, Italy, Spain and I look forward to using my skills to train young learners to develop their reading, speaking, listening & writing skills. I am a Graduate in English Literature and History and I have also done the CELTA course from the British Council. I use flexible approaches to teach and try to make learning a fun and memorable experience. My students find my lessons engaging and vibrant as I keep them engaged in various tasks and activities such as puzzles, quizzes, games. English is not just about learning vocabulary or grammar or sentence structure. It’s about the application of these technicalities into the expression of your ideas and thoughts. In my lessons I try to minimise the technicalities as it becomes dull and boring, however I emphasize the need for it as it’s the basis on which the language is structured. While teaching English online I have used Power Point presentations and other innovative applications such as Padlet, Quizlet, Socrative & Kahoot to make learning fun and interactive. I believe learning is an exchange. There were times when I have learnt a thing or two from my students and I cannot but treasure those Eureka moments when my students have felt they could contribute to the lesson with their own ideas such as using Google docs to share documents or any other innovative learning platform.

Experienced History and English tutor with a master's degree from Oxford University.
I am an Oxford masters history graduate, specialising in British history, empires and globalisation. My undergraduate dissertation focused on the afterlives of Imperial heroes in former African colonies through a study of their material culture, and was recognised as the highest marked dissertation in its field that year. In 2022 I completed History MSc in Empires, Colonialism and Globalisation at Balliol College, Oxford. I have been tutoring since 2016, primarily in History and English Language & Literature. In 2018 I taught in Nepal, and in 2019 in China, at Harrow School Beijing. From 2019 to 2022 I worked for an agency based in Beijing that specialises in helping students into the top rated schools and universities in the UK and US. Many of my students have achieved places at schools such as Eastbourne College, Wycombe Abbey, and Cheltenham, as well as Russel Group universities. Furthermore, having taught English Language and Literature for the last three years I have a particularly strong knowledge of key exam texts, particularly the Shakespearean plays. I have been tutoring for many years in a variety of countries, with students both struggling with their work, and those seeking to excel even further. Outside of work I enjoy playing tennis, going to the theatre, and cheering on the Welsh rugby team! I currently work for a member of the shadow cabinet in Westminster as a parliamentary researcher.

  • British English
Experienced Primary English Teacher with 6 years of experience.
As a dedicated and passionate primary teacher, I have had the privilege of working with children from Year 1 to Year 6, and have developed a deep understanding of the curriculum, needs, and abilities of each age group. However, I have a special fondness for teaching UKS2, and have honed my skills in creating lessons that are both fun and challenging for this age group in preparing them for their future. I believe that learning should be an immersive and engaging experience that sparks curiosity, creativity, and confidence. In my opinion, every child is unique, with their own strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. My approach is centered around creating a supportive and inclusive learning space that allows children to flourish and grow. In addition to my 6 years of teaching experience, I have also had the opportunity to work as a tutor for the past 4 years, providing one-on-one support and guidance to students who need extra help or want to accelerate their learning.

👉 Can I learn English on my own or is it better to take classes?

Both self-study and taking classes have their advantages and disadvantages. Self-study allows for a flexible schedule and can be more cost-effective, but can also lack the structure and accountability of a classroom setting.

The best option depends on your learning style and goals.

Customised English Learning for GCSE & A Level Students With a Private English Tutor.

Understanding The Customised English Learning:

Customised English learning is a great way to help GCSE and A Level students achieve their full potential. With a private tutor, they can learn at their own pace and in an environment free of distractions. This type of learning allows them to focus on specific topics that may be challenging for them while also working with someone who has the knowledge and experience to teach them effectively.

The customised approach also means that the student's confidence level can be improved as they feel more comfortable with the material being taught. They will have the opportunity to ask questions, get feedback and receive support when needed. As they progress through their studies over time, they will be able to identify areas that need further work or improvement which can then be addressed by their tutor in a way tailored specifically for them.

Finally, customised English learning encourages independent thinking which is essential for success at GCSEs and A Levels. By taking ownership of their own education, students are encouraged to engage in critical thought processes which help develop problem-solving skills as well as research techniques which are beneficial both inside and outside of academia.

Importance of Customised English Learning For GCSE & A Level Students:

Customised English learning for GCSE and A Level students allows individual attention which is not available in a classroom setting with multiple students. Any personal issues or problems an individual student may have in understanding certain topics can be addressed directly by their tutor. They can provide advice and support accordingly to overcome the challenges.

Having an experienced educator guide them through their studying ensures that the student is working at exactly the right level according to their ability. Students will never feel overwhelmed or out of their depth when it comes to tackling challenging material.

Common Challenges Faced by GCSE & A Level English Students:

One of the most common challenges faced by GCSE English students is mastering the art of essay writing. Essays are a key component of many GCSE and A-level exams. Students need to learn how to structure their arguments. They need to know how to use evidence effectively, structure paragraphs and communicate their ideas in an articulate way that clearly demonstrates their knowledge. Students should also be aware of any relevant literary techniques or language conventions for particular texts they are studying.

One of the most common challenges faced by A Level English students is the transition from GCSE to A Level. This is especially difficult for students who are used to writing in a much more informal style. An A Level essay requires more complex language and more rigorous essay structure. Many students find it difficult to analyse unseen texts and draw out points for discussion. This can be an incredibly daunting task, requiring an ability to critically read a text quickly and construct arguments from it.

Another challenge faced by A Level English students is time management. Due to the increased course content compared with that at the GCSE level, there can be a lot of material to cover in order to prepare for exams or complete coursework assignments.

One of the biggest challenges facing A Level English students is confidence – many feel daunted when faced with such a challenging subject which carries so much weight towards their future plans.

Advantages of Customised English Learning with a Private Tutor:

Customised English learning with a private tutor allows students to learn at their own pace and in the way that works best for them. As the English language is constantly evolving, students can benefit from having an experienced tutor in more ways than one. They can guide them through the complexities of grammar, vocabulary and literature.

Private tuition provides personalised feedback tailored to each student's needs. This helps each student develop their skills and improves their confidence. A private tutor also facilitates valuable discussion about texts which encourages critical thinking, strengthens analysis skills and develops essay writing capabilities. One-on-one tutoring sessions allow students to ask questions freely without feeling intimidated by peers or the teacher. This enables students to gain confidence in their understanding of the English language which will be invaluable when it comes to exams.

Customised lessons help identify weaknesses as well as strengths early on so that any areas that need extra focus can be addressed straight away. It provides more time for consolidation ahead of exams. Private tuition also offers regular progress assessments with detailed feedback allowing both the student and tutor to track improvement over time.
