About Joseph

As an Oxford graduate with over seven years’ experience as a tutor and English teacher in England and Mexico, I am a tutor who has helped hundreds of young people open doors to all sorts of opportunities in education.

The best thing about tutoring for me is being able to see my students go on to achieve results that have fundamentally changed their lives whether that’s helping Jasleen achieve two whole levels above her predicted grade in English Literature A level, or helping Eliseo into MIT, or assisting Antonio and Carla in passing the IELTS and get professional jobs in Australia, or guiding Manpreet in getting the A level grades she needed to get into the top university of her choice, or Eduardo to pass the English element of his professional pilot exams among many others.

I especially believe in improving student independence, so, with my help in structuring the lessons, they call the shots when it comes to pace and content. Student choice is hugely important as it not only gives people a sense of empowerment but also makes them much more engaged with their learning. I use a combination of online activities, games and book materials and I set homework in the form of pre-teaching. This means that students come prepared for the lesson, both academically and psychologically.

As a qualified English teacher (PGCE Distinction Canterbury Christchurch) through the competitive Teach First Leadership Development Programme, my students have a 100% success rate in meeting their targets with one class achieving 100% A*-B at GCSE. I have taught A level English Literature and successfully tutored GCSE ad A level students in English Language, English Literature and History. I have also worked as an examiner for the new English GCSEs and for the 11-plus exams.

My elite academic credentials mean that I know how to apply for top-performing institutions and know the academic world inside-out. I have a First Class Arts degree from the University of Warwick, a leading Russell Group university, and a History Masters from the University of Oxford. If your child is finding essay writing difficult or needs advice on applying to top UK universities, then I can help.

As a teacher, I have worked for an outstanding comprehensive, a high-performing grammar school and a leading Mexican university, so my experience is diverse, which means that I can help all sorts of students whatever their needs. I have worked as a Gifted and Talented Coordinator so I know how to stretch those pupils who might need extra extension and I have been a Literacy Coordinator with extensive experience in supporting dyslexic and dyspraxic pupils.

Having lived in Mexico and worked as a translator, I am fluent in Spanish. I can teach beginners level Spanish up to GCSE. Equally, I have a great deal of experience in teaching English as a foreign language. I can organise everything from fun conversation classes for beginners to helping students improve their academic English. I have helped my students pass the IELTS General and Academic exams, TOEFL tests and the GRE exams for US Masters students. I am especially good at teaching grammar and helping people move from B2 business competence to C1/2 academic fluency.

If you want to arrange any lessons with me or if you want me to proof read dissertations, essays and application letters, please get in touch and I look forward to helping you get where you want to go!
