Esmaa

I am an experienced British-qualified teacher, Deputy Head, English Lead and professional tutor with over eight years of tutoring experience and more than seven years of classroom teaching across both UK and international British schools. I have worked with pupils aged 4–18, supporting them in Primary English and Mathematics, SATs preparation, GCSE English, History, Religious Education and Economics. I also have extensive experience supporting pupils with a range of additional learning needs, including Dyslexia, ADHD and Autism, adapting my teaching to ensure every learner feels supported, engaged and able to reach their full potential. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor every lesson to the individual learner. My teaching approach focuses on building confidence alongside academic success by identifying gaps in understanding and helping students become independent, resilient learners. I create engaging lessons where students feel challenged, supported and encouraged to think critically rather than simply memorising answers. As an experienced school leader and classroom teacher, I have an in-depth understanding of the English National Curriculum, assessment and how pupils make progress. I regularly use formative assessment to adapt my teaching, ensuring every lesson builds on prior learning and meets each student's needs. Whether I am helping a child master reading and writing, or supporting a GCSE student with examination technique, my aim is always to help students enjoy learning and achieve their full potential. I work closely with families, providing regular feedback and clear guidance so parents feel fully involved in their child's progress. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student grow in confidence and realise what they can achieve.
