MSc. Applied Linguistics, University of Oxford.
With an equal passion for both language and education, Sean’s teaching career spans over 15 years and includes work as an Edexcel A level English & Politics examiner, and time as a teacher of the IB/UK curriculum from KS2 through to university level. Nowadays, this dynamic career has settled in the form of professional online tuition accompanied by research into Applied Linguistics at Oxford University.
Our English tutors teach students of ten years and older, across the British, IB and US curriculum. During late KS2 and early KS3, tuition is geared towards improving punctuation, grammar and enjoyment of reading. As students transition towards KS4, in order to achieve top grades in GCSE or IB MYP English, focus can shift towards complex sentence structures and tone of voice, accompanied by point-evidence-explain techniques for literature. By A level and IB Diploma Programme, students should have strong foundations and can move towards deeper, more nuanced discussions of literature, language and its role in society. At this level our professional English tutors are able to help students produce robust and cohesive essays under exam conditions.
