About Zoya

I'm Zoya, a qualified English tutor with hundreds of tutoring hours and experience teaching at university level. I’ve supported GCSE and A-level students across the UK in both English Language and Literature.

With a background in teaching, writing, and proofreading, I help students approach English with clarity and confidence—whether they’re analysing Macbeth, exploring poetry, or improving their essays. Students often say my sessions helped them go from “barely passing” to consistently hitting top bands.

Here’s what a few students have said:

“Zoya helped my son make sense of everything. His essays finally started to flow, and he actually began to enjoy English.” — GCSE student

“I used to panic before every timed essay. Now I feel way more in control, and my grades have jumped.” — A-level student

Academic credentials:
- BA Honours in English Language and Literature (First Class)
- A strong academic foundation in literary analysis, writing, semantics, and research

Professional experience:
- Over 5 years of tutoring and academic writing experience
- Taught English at university level as a visiting lecturer
- Extensive experience supporting students through GCSE and A-level English (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CIE)
- Professional content writer, editor, and proofreader — bringing real-world writing experience into lessons

Subjects I tutor:
- GCSE English Language (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CIE)
- GCSE English Literature
- A-Level English Language
- A-Level English Literature
- Creative Writing & Essay Skills
- English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
- Spoken and Written English (for fluency and confidence)

My approach:
I draw on both academic and writing experience to keep lessons clear, practical, and engaging. My aim is to help students think more clearly, write with purpose, and feel more at ease with English, whether we’re working on analysis or essay structure.

Every student learns differently. Some need more structure, others benefit from open discussion—I try to adapt to what works best for them. Sessions are relaxed, focused, and always open to questions, with the goal of building confidence step by step :)

I’m Zoya, a qualified English tutor with a BA Honours in English Language and Literature (CGPA 3.81) and over 5 years of teaching experience. I specialise in helping students improve their English reading skills — whether it’s for exams like GCSE, A-Level, or IELTS, or simply to gain confidence in reading comprehension and interpretation.

In our lessons, we’ll go beyond just reading the words. I’ll teach you how to understand tone, language techniques, and writer’s purpose, while building the skills needed to tackle any reading task — from fiction and poetry to non-fiction articles.

What to expect:
- Targeted support for GCSE, A-Level, and IELTS reading sections
- Focus on comprehension, inference, analysis, and critical reading
- Techniques for skimming, scanning, and answering under timed conditions
- Regular practice with real exam-style texts and question types
- Support with building vocabulary, identifying bias, and evaluating texts
- Tailored lessons that match your current level and goals

Topics I cover include:
- Fiction and non-fiction comprehension
- Analysing tone, structure, and language
- Inference and deduction
- Understanding main ideas and supporting details
- Comparing texts and identifying viewpoints
- IELTS Reading – all question types and time management strategies

My aim is to help you become a confident, critical reader — ready to face any paper or text with understanding and purpose. :)
