What English tutoring services are available?

Our English tutors work with students at all levels, but the most popular tutoring needs are for:

7+ English Entrance Exams
11+ English Entrance Exams
13+ English Entrance Exams
KS3
GCSE
A-Levels
STEP Cambridge admissions

For university admissions, our tutors can help students prepare:

Additionally, we have English teachers who specialise in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and who have TEFL / TESOL qualifications, such as from CELTA.

This can be utilised as the primary goal, i.e. to improve a student’s spoken and written English skills. It could also be used as auxiliary support to supplement GCSE/A-Level tuition for overseas students who may have an additional barrier with their English language skills.

All English tutors assigned by Athena Tuition have a wealth of experience in teaching the current curriculum. They are also naturally passionate about the subject and skilled in sharing the complexities of it in an accessible and approachable manner.

Finding the right English tutor for you

At Athena Tuition, we don’t believe in off the shelf tutoring. We work closely with parents and students in the initial stages to ensure they have the best English tutor to meet their needs.

When the first tutoring session takes place, the tutor will sit with the student or pupil, and determine the following questions:

What do you consider to be your strengths?
What do you consider to be your weakest areas?
What are you proud of about your own abilities?
Where do you feel you are in terms of the subject matter?

With these questions answered, our tutor will create a tailored series of sessions to help the student/pupil achieve their goals.

We reach out to you after the first session to discuss the tutoring experience.

If for whatever reason you don’t believe the tutor is the right fit, we are happy to provide a new tutor at no cost.

One of our experienced tutors

Iona

Iona is a University of Oxford English graduate and published children’s author. She has been a popular tutor on our books for several years, and is highly competent tutoring English at all ages, including EFL. Iona has experience with 11+ and 13+ for secondary schools such as UCS, Highgate, Habs, KCS Wimbledon and Dulwich College.

She is also experienced with (I)GCSE, A-Level and IB SL and HL courses. The fact Iona is “walking the walk” with her English creative writing, via her authorship, helps to make her slightly more inspirational for her students.

Iona tutors in person around London and provides online tuition.

Reporting for parents

After each session, a report is presented to the parent. This report may be given verbally, if the tutor is at their home, or written down.

In each report, tutors share how the lesson went and what was covered during that session.

We always aim to provide thorough reports, so you’re never in the dark about your child’s studies.

Develop your English skills with Athena

The study of the English Language is crucial to the development of a wide range of skills. These skills will benefit students throughout their lives, whether it be in terms of their employability, their ability to connect to others, or their further studies.

What will students learn under Athena Tutors?

Students learning under Athena Tutors will learn all elements of the English Language, including rules of grammar, punctuation, and the structure of writing pertaining to their skill level and goals.

Additionally, students will be encouraged to understand how to write according to different genres, how to target audiences, and how writing can be persuasive, powerful, informative, and creative.

The study of English Literature does not simply concern reading texts. Students will improve their analytical and communication skills. They will also improve their understanding of – and ability to confidently discuss – history, culture, philosophy, and society.

Our passionate, highly experienced tutors work closely with students, offering bespoke English tuition to ensure that they are getting all that they can from English Literature.

Our English tutors also encourage a deeper enjoyment of this subject and urge students to look beyond the ‘rules’ to discover the joy of utilising all that the English Language has to offer.
