Fun and Creative English and Science Tutor!
| As a graduate with a 1st class degree in the Visual Arts, I enjoy problem solving and thinking of innovative ways to engage Primary School children into their studies. I've spent the last 5 years working with this age range as an English Tutor as well as Science Communicator, and recently gained experience supporting students with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia and Autism. My natural enthusiasm and curiosity for teaching has led me to do a Masters in Science at UCL, where I am currently in my final year of studying the Earth Sciences and Public Engagement. I firmly believe that each child is on their own unique journey of education; using my perspective to tailor sessions towards these individual needs. I occasionally work on Media projects too - having contributed to BBC Learning's recent Public Engagement Programme "Terrific Scientific" as well as created a YouTube web series to help children understand the world of Geology. Storytelling and the Natural World are my passions of which I share when it comes to tutoring my students in both English and Science. I also speak Spanish and French at fluent and conversational level respectively, and am able to offer tutoring for these languages too.

Passionate educator who works for success of children
| I have experience in teaching English in a International school and doing private tutoring for subjects like Science , Biology , chemistry and physics which students showed their colours with higher grades as well.

I personally always respect their choices but will always correct them and will pay my full attention to them. I will not think twice to help them whenever they need me and will always stay by their side . I'm always responsible when it comes to my work and will provide my maximum support all the time.

Absolute nerd and lover of all things Victorian! Budding novelist and poet too.
| Having completed my own GCSE’s, A-Levels, and now proceeding to my BA English Literature course at the University of Birmingham, I love gaining vital experience towards becoming a teacher myself one day, as well as working with young and helping them gain confidence in their own sound abilities. I adore reading and writing in any style and genre, but more so, I love working with others on a project that, at first is riddled with hurdles, but when overcome, allows the student to truly shine. My proficiency is in literature, however this comes closely hand-in-hand with history, given my study areas at university and for personal research. At A-Level, I achieved A*A*A in my chosen subjects of English Literature, Philosophy and Religious Education, and History; I have these results available for verification.

Enthusiastic English/Sociology & Law Tutor
| Hi, I'm a recent Law graduate from university. I achieved a classification of 2.1. For my A-levels, I studied Sociology (A), Geography (A), History (B) and Biology AS (C). I'm looking to help anyone who's struggling with KS2 English & A-level sociology. I have previously tutored English & Sociology privately for a while. I believe that every student works at their own pace and can succeed to their best ability. I will tailor each lesson plan to the specific needs of the pupil, rather than providing them the answers. I enjoy sociology and want to guide my pupils to have the same level of positivism approach to their work. I've tutored students A-level sociology in the past before but I have also worked as a KS3 English tutor with TeamUp Hub with pupils with learning difficulties and who first language was not English. I can work around my pupil's availability.

FAQs for finding English help

What is the cost of hiring an English tutor in 2024?

The national average for hiring an English tutor on Care.com costs £16.03 per hour as of April 2024. This rate may vary depending on your location, what types of assignments your child needs help with, the age of your child and the experience each tutor has.

How can I find an English tutor on Care.com?

Start your search by narrowing down to just the English tutors in your area and filtering by their hourly pay rate. From there, compare the experience each tutor has teaching English to children and read reviews from other families in your area that have worked with them previously.

What interview questions should I ask an English tutor?

You're hiring an English tutor so your child can improve their writing skills and their grades, so cater your interview questions toward how each candidate can achieve these goals. Make sure you're comfortable with the process each tutor uses to see improvement in the children they've worked with in the past. It may be a good idea to ask how long each English tutor is willing to commit to helping your child with their assignments. They may only need short-term English help, but it's good to know that a tutor can be there to help them long-term as well.
