Trusted teacher: Hello! My name is Hafsa, and I am passionate about English literature and language. I recently completed my GCSEs with AQA, achieving a grade 4 in both Language and Literature. I've studied key texts such as Macbeth, An Inspector Calls, and various war poems from the Power and Conflict anthology. My approach to learning and teaching is interactive and engaging, incorporating modern methods such as watching film adaptations to enhance understanding of historical and cultural contexts. I'm from East London, and I'm excited to help students excel in their English studies. Throughout my studies, I've developed a deep appreciation for English literature and a keen understanding of the AQA GCSE syllabus. My experience includes working with students to help them grasp complex themes and improve their analytical skills. I have a knack for making literature relatable and accessible, using a variety of techniques including discussions, multimedia resources, and practical exercises. I understand the importance of aligning lessons with common textbooks like AQA English Language and Literature resources, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their exams. I focus on creating a friendly and supportive learning environment. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I tailor my teaching to meet individual needs. Whether it's dissecting Shakespeare's language or understanding the social context of a play like An Inspector Calls, I aim to make each lesson interactive and enjoyable. My goal is not only to help students achieve good grades but also to instill a love for the subject that goes beyond the classroom. I offer classes for GCSE students, particularly those following the AQA syllabus. My lessons are suitable for students of all levels, whether they need help with basic concepts or are looking to refine their analysis and writing skills. I have experience working with teenagers, understanding the challenges they face and providing guidance to build their confidence. Each session is structured to cover key syllabus content, practice exam techniques, and provide personalized feedback on assignments. Why Choose Me? Qualified & Experienced: As a GCSE graduate with firsthand experience of the syllabus, I know what it takes to succeed. Interactive Lessons: I use a variety of resources, including film adaptations and modern textbooks, to make learning engaging. Student-Centered: My approach is tailored to each student's unique needs, focusing on both academic success and personal growth.

I achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities. On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well! I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful. Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson. In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them. During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.

Val
We had our very first lesson with Valentin yesterday and I have decided to continue developing my skills in French language together with him due to various reasons... First of all Valentin has all the required communication skills which makes him a desirable teacher together with his kind and friendly approach. Moreover from the very first session he started to build a structure on which we can work on together. He also seems to be a good observer who can detect and correct the mistakes I make as well as providing me the right knowledge in order to improve my French as we proceed together. I would recommend Valentin if you need assistance with learning French at any level.

Emily is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to communicate with. She gives her best to assist with any questions and is thorough in her preparation. I definitely recommend her as a tutor since it made me feel much more comfortable and ready for my (law) exam!
