About Nazanin
I have two years of experience teaching English Language and Literature, both at GCSE and ALEVEL, this includes KS3, KS4 and KS5. My qualifications include A-Level English (Grade B), completed at Holland Park Sixth form (with the highest academic performance in West London) and a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature, completed at King’s College London, which is currently one of the top ten UK universities in the world according to the QS World Rankings 2020. I have previously taught students from multiple backgrounds, for example, those attending private schools, e.g., St Benedict’s and religious state schools, including Sacred Heart Catholic School. Regardless of the student’s institution or background, all students receive equal time and teaching quality.
I teach my students using the online specification (Edexcel or AQA exam board), my personal resources (including my laptop) and online exam questions. Each lesson prioritizes the student’s personal weak points and feedback from schoolteachers is also highly considered. I have worked with students on many texts, including William Shakespeare’s early modern classics: Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, 19th century texts, including Frankenstein by Mary Shelley; Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and others. I have also taught modern plays including An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams and novels like Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I am also highly experienced with English Language tutoring, which includes analysing language and structure in a given text, critical writing, producing speeches and articles.
I am a very flexible tutor, which means my teaching style varies according to student preferences and I can also compromise with dates and times. In the past, I have had students (including those who are dyslexic) who learn better visually, in which case I used a whiteboard, images and videos to teach particular topics. Other students learn better orally, whilst taking notes. Some students also prefer mind-mapping, flash cards and note-pages. Regardless, I am willing to compromise to ensure that each student meets and hopefully exceeds their target grades and that they the time and day of the lesson does not clash with their other commitments. Students are also allocated homework each lesson, which they must complete the following week. This will be regularly discussed with the student and parents to ensure that they are completing homework promptly as this is crucial to their exam success.
My previous successes as a tutor include: 95% of students achieving their target grades in English exams across 2018 and 2019. In fact, one student, who was predicted a level 4 and achieved a level 6, gave this testimonial:
Naz, as a tutor, is incredibly helpful and motivating. She always knows how to help and is someone you can be comfortable with, knowing that she can help me improve in English

I strongly recommend Nazanin as a tutor, she's taught me since September and since then I have seen increasing improvement. Nazanin is always committed to teaching and has amazing learning techniques that helped me drastically. She's hard working and brings great energy to lessons which motivates me to learn.
Her lessons always leave me feeling more confident in my English studies and as a result, English went from being one of my weakest points to one of my strongest!I recommend Nazanin as she is a brilliant tutor and is very helpful. She is very hardworking and her teaching style is great. Nazanin prepared my children very well for their exams and brought their grades up.
Nazanin helped me incredibly well throughout my English Language studies during Year 11. I was receiving 3s in My English Language mock exams but nazanin gave me the boost and helped me gain that academic boost that help me achieve what I want
I highly recommend Nazanin to teach English Literature. As an A-Level studet, Nazanin has given me the ability to feel confident about my subject; one that before hand i was mostly worried about. Nazanin is confident and assertive and with her i am able to exchange ideas and develop complex arguements.
I have known Naz for more than 6 years and have thoroughly enjoyed her blossom from the 16 year old that I met till the inspirational woman that I see before my eyes.
Naz managed to tutor so many students while completing both her degrees and has proven time and time again that she is built for success. All of her students adore her and their parents are ever so grateful to have Naz tutoring their children.
It has been a pleasure watching her adapt and develop new skills in her teaching method and it is always interesting hearing of the progress she manages to achieve with her tutees. They are definitely lucky to have her.Nazanin was my daughter, Lea's tutor for one year. She also taught two of my nephews, Aleco and Joseph. She was always available to help the kids after school, making sure that they are up to date, and even ahead of their schoolwork. With Naz's help, Lea, Aleco and Joseph's writing style improved significantly and she felt more motivated to study English, as this was originally her least favourite subject. Naz always focused on their individual weak points, and made sure that every lesson was worthwhile.
Naz would sometimes teach my daughter and two nephews individually on the same day successfully, working to build each of their strengths and weaknesses. She put time and effort into their learning, making sure that they were regularly practicing exam questions, essay writing, and developing a good understanding of texts like Macbeth. She also helped them to memorise quotations effectively and supported them along the way, as memorising was difficult for them.Nazanin has The qualities needed for a good tutor as she always remains focused, keeps you motivated, knows where you need to improve and makes the lessons engaging. In addition she is very kind and has always shown patience.
