I am offering to tutor Spanish to ages 0-12 at either a conversational or gramatical level. I have a B2 grade in Spanish and am a predicted 8/9 at GCSE. I am passionate about the language and love learning outside of the classroom on whiteboards at home or with my sister and would love to share my love of the language.

Hi! I am offering GCSE tutoring for Maths, English Language, English Literature, Science, French, Reglious Education, Media Studies, Drama, and History. I recieved grades 8-9 in all of these subjects at GCSE level (A*-A**). Currently I am working at A*A*A and am looking to attend the University of Oxford. I am an enthusiatic and motivated student, which I can extend onto children who may love their subjects already, or children who are not very passionate about their topics yet. I have experiece in working with kids, and am very patient and will make sure that my students feel comfortable asking questions. I am also flexible, and have lesson plans for each child, or can work around what they need the most. Thank you, Gresa.

Why hire a young person?

MyPocketSkill is a social impact company. We are passionate about helping young people to gain experience in the world of work and to become more financially capable. By using our platform you are helping us in that mission.

Our young people are highly enthusiastic, hardworking and personable. To sign up to MyPocketSkill, they are required to go through a screening and onboarding process. We also use a system of levels, based on age, experience and re-bookings, to help you choose.

How do I book a lesson?

Our lessons are available both online or offline. The process of booking a lesson is simple. Just get in contact with a language tutor of your choice, or accept requests from young people who have contacted you, organise a time, date and session format you would like - whether it be a one-off-session or multiple sessions - and make booking. You can select different tutors based on their reviews, their profile and their listings.

How to hire the best language tutor?

A few tips for selecting a language tutor.

Read through their profile: our young people have robust personal stories and experiences to share and they often write about this on their profile. Select a profile which you believe is relatable to your child and with the skill sets which fit your requirements.
Read their reviews: our more experienced tutors often have reviews given by their past customers. Having more positive reviews are generally an indication of professional behaviour and that they have provided positive experiences to past clients.
Make a trial booking. It’s not expensive to book a language tutor on MyPocketSkill. Booking an initial single lesson with one or more tutors can be a great way to understand whether it’s likely to be a fit. Once you have found a language tutor that works for you, it’s possible to make block bookings on MyPocketSkill, which many customers find more convenient.

How does payment work?

Payment is managed through the MyPocketSkill platform. Our community managers work hard to ensure a good, fair and equitable experience is had by both our clients and the young people on our platform. If you have any concerns during our lesson booking process, get in contact with our team, via message or online chat, and we can assist.
