Sophie O'neill

Hello! I’m an experienced and enthusiastic English tutor who helps students build confidence, improve their skills, and achieve their academic goals. With over ten years of teaching experience in international schools and one-to-one settings, I support learners from a wide range of backgrounds and ability levels.

My experience includes:
• Over 10 years’ teaching experience in both international schools abroad and secondary schools at home
• Over 6 years' experience one-to-one tutoring with students of varied abilities and learning needs
• Teaching KS3 English
• GCSE English (AQA, Edexcel and IGCSE CIE)
• Supervisor for HPQ and EPQ projects
• Working with learners from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds

My lessons are clear, supportive, and personalised to your needs. We begin by identifying your goals - whether improving reading, writing, grammar, or preparing for exams - and build a structured plan to help you progress step by step. Lessons can follow a curriculum or focus more flexibly on building confidence and fluency.

I can help you with:
• Reading comprehension and analysis
• Creative and academic writing skills
• Grammar, vocabulary, and language accuracy
• Exam preparation and revision strategies
• Coursework support and project guidance (HPQ/EPQ)
• Essay writing and structuring arguments
• Building confidence in written and spoken English
• Preparing for IELTS/Cambridge English

You’ll always have time to ask questions, practise new skills, and receive constructive feedback. I aim to make every lesson productive and positive, so you leave with a clear sense of progress.

Whether you want to prepare for a specific exam, catch up on schoolwork, or become a more confident communicator in English, I’ll support you every step of the way. I’ve helped many students build strong foundations and achieve their target results, and I would love to help you do the same.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to work with you.
