Elizabeth

I am a fully qualified English teacher with QTS and an MA TESOL from the University of Birmingham. I have over 10 years of experience teaching English online and in person, specialising in exam preparation for IGCSE, IELTS, A-Level, and UK school entrance exams including 11+, 13+, and competitive selective schools like Harrow. I am passionate about helping students build confidence, master exam technique, and achieve their academic goals. I take a patient, student-led approach and enjoy making learning engaging and accessible for every student.

Having taught a great number of students across many years, I have found that each one learns and makes sense of English in their own particular way. As such, I always take the time to understand how a student thinks before deciding how to teach them. Some respond best to structure and repetition, others to discussion and creativity, and many need a blend of both.

I consider myself calm, patient, and encouraging, but also focused and results driven. I set high expectations and I support students to meet them. I break complex skills down into clear, manageable steps so that progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

I place strong emphasis on exam technique, mark scheme precision, and building genuine confidence. My aim is not just to get a student through their next assessment, but to give them skills they can carry into any exam, essay, or argument they face.

Above all, I want every student to feel capable and to see their own progress. When a student starts to believe in themselves, the results follow.

I am fully committed to a career in teaching and education.

Currently, I am looking to expand my private tutoring work further and am dedicated to building long-term relationships with students and families. I have a stable, predictable schedule and can confidently commit to my clients. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals and am excited about the opportunity to grow my practice.
