Emma B
Friendly English tutor
Hi, I’m Emma and I am currently studying at the University of Cambridge.I like to keep my teaching very flexible to the student as I appreciate that everyone is unique with how they best learn. Therefore I prefer to offer a variety of options, including going over work set by the school, offering questions of my own, carrying out topic specific lessons where I would typically use a powerpoint. I think having a discussion and taking things through is the best way to learn for a lot of subjects and would therefore try to incorporate this into every task where possible.I also used to do different t...

David F
Creative English tutor
Hello Prospective Students!My name is David and I am a Writer, Actor, Tutor... and sometimes movie-goer. After 10 years of performing on stage and in short films, I decided that the real fun was in writing; and after another few years of that, I realised that there was even more fun in teaching it too. So, for the last year, I have been an online English and Creative Writing tutor.All of this coincided with an ADHD diagnosis, at the tender age of 35. I know that people have a tendency to bat around terms like "neurodivergent" and "functioning," and the meanings can seem a little elusive. I was...

Is it worth getting an English tutor?

Yes, getting an English tutor can be highly beneficial and worth the investment. A skilled tutor can help improve your understanding and proficiency in the English language, whether you are a native speaker or learning it as a second language. One of the main advantages of working with an English tutor is the personalized attention they provide. They can tailor their teaching style and materials to your specific needs and learning goals, ensuring that you make maximum progress. An English tutor can help you improve your grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking skills. They can also assist with pronunciation, comprehension, and understanding different literary genres. By providing regular feedback and guidance, tutors can help you identify and correct any mistakes or weaknesses you may have. This individualized attention can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with certain aspects of English or who need extra support to achieve their desired level of fluency. Moreover, an English tutor can adapt their teaching methods to suit your preferred learning style. Whether you are a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner, a tutor can tailor their lessons and activities to accommodate your unique preferences. They can also work at a pace that suits you, ensuring that you fully grasp each concept before moving on to more advanced topics. This personalized approach can significantly enhance your learning experience and accelerate your progress. In addition, an English tutor can provide you with valuable resources and strategies to enhance your self-study. They can recommend relevant books, articles, websites, and apps that can supplement your learning outside of tutoring sessions. Furthermore, they can teach you effective techniques for improving your language skills, such as reading aloud, practicing with authentic materials, or participating in conversation practice. Ultimately, investing in an English tutor can be a smart decision for anyone looking to enhance their language skills. The personalized attention, tailored teaching materials, and individualized support can help you overcome any difficulties or gaps in your knowledge. Whether you want to improve your English for academic purposes, career advancement, or personal enrichment, an English tutor can provide the expertise and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

What is the difference between English teacher and English tutor?

An English teacher is a qualified professional who typically works within a school or educational institution, teaching English as part of the curriculum. They generally follow a structured syllabus and are responsible for delivering lessons to a group of students. English teachers usually hold a bachelor's degree in education or a related field, along with a teaching qualification. On the other hand, an English tutor is an individual who provides one-on-one instruction outside of a formal classroom setting. Tutors primarily focus on specific areas or skills that a student may be struggling with, tailoring their teaching approach according to the student's individual needs. They offer personalized attention and may customize the lessons to suit the student's learning style. English tutors may hold a degree in English or a related subject, and many possess additional teaching certifications or qualifications. While English teachers mainly work with larger groups of students, tutors can provide a more intimate and flexible learning experience. Tutors can provide additional support and guidance to students who require extra assistance or wish to excel beyond the regular classroom curriculum. They can act as mentors, guiding students through their individual learning journey and helping them overcome academic challenges. Ultimately, the main difference lies in the setting and approach of instruction. English teachers provide structured lessons within a traditional educational environment, while English tutors offer individualized instruction outside of formal schooling. Both play vital roles in enhancing a student's English language skills, but tutoring allows for a more personalized and focused learning experience.
