About Martia

Hello! I'm Martia and I can't wait to meet you!

I am PGCE-qualified secondary school tutor with classroom experience in London secondary schools, international settings, and one-to-one environments, I specialise in English from Key Stage 1 through to A Level. My approach builds confidence, sharpens analytical skills, and fosters a genuine love for reading and writing.

Approach
I support students in preparing for key assessments (Phonics Screening, SATs, 11+, GCSEs, A Levels), developing academic confidence, and enjoying the richness of English. Whether it's analysing Macbeth, structuring a persuasive argument, or laying strong literacy foundations in younger learners, lessons are tailored to individual goals and the requirements of the UK national curriculum and exam boards.

As a tutor, I focus on a student-centred approach that helps build both skills and confidence in English. My goal is to help students become more independent and prepared for exams by teaching clear strategies and providing lots of practice.

Each lesson is adapted to suit the student’s learning style and goals, with a focus on the skills needed for the UK curriculum and exam boards.

In English I help students:

Develop close reading skills by teaching them how to spot and explain literary techniques like symbolism, imagery, metaphors, similes, alliteration, and irony.

Understand characters, themes, story structure, and context, linking these to what examiners look for.

Write clear, organised essays using easy-to-follow paragraph structures like PEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation).

Use model essays and sample answers to see how to use quotes and analyse texts well.

Practice writing essays under timed conditions and learn how to plan essays with mind maps or outlines.

Learn how to annotate texts by highlighting important quotes and symbols to prepare for exams and comparisons.

Learn key language terms like word choice, sentence structure, meaning, tone, and how language changes over time.

Improve reading skills like making inferences, summarising, and understanding the writer’s purpose and audience.

Practice writing different types of texts, such as letters, articles, and creative stories, focusing on using the right tone, style, and clear structure.

Use past papers and example answers to prepare for exams.

Learn how to break down questions, manage time in exams, and write clear answers using the PEE method.

Use revision methods like flashcards, quizzes, and teaching others to remember key ideas.

Revision & Exam Practice:

Practising active recall by answering questions from memory.

Writing essays and answers under timed conditions to get used to the exam format.

Using revision sheets that summarise key ideas, quotes, and important terms.

Marking texts with notes on important ideas and language features for quick review.

Creating a revision timetable to balance practice, review, and rest.

Looking back at mistakes and using feedback to improve.

Lessons are interactive and well-structured to help students feel confident and in control of their learning. Sessions usually last 60 minutes, with longer sessions available for more detailed support or exam prep.
