Open Doors Online English Tutoring

Study English from anywhere, in the place and in the way that suits you most

Welcome to Open Doors
Online English Tutoring

Hello, I’m Emily, an English Teacher who has been tutoring since 2022 and who gained a PGCE in Secondary English from the University of Cambridge in 2024. I decided to found my own business to open a plethora of possibilities for my students. I understand that each student’s learning, interests and life goals are unique and that this individuality is not always recognised in large school classes or impersonal tutoring.

 

That’s why at Open Doors Online English Tutoring, I provide young people with transformative education so that that their doors in life remain open, not closed. For some English teachers, teaching starts and ends with English. But at Open Doors Online English Tutoring, it’s just the start: the end is where my students want life to take them.

Subjects and Levels Offered

I teach students studying at the following levels:

  • KS2 students in Years 5-6 studying English or English SATs.

  • Pupils taking the 11+ or 13+ (I only tutor the English section).

  • KS3 English for students in Years 7-9.

  • KS4 English for students in Years 10-13 studying or re-taking GCSE English Language and Literature.

  • Home-schooled students in Years 7-11.

  • International students aged 9-16.

KS2, SATs, 11+ and 13+

Practise core skills to support KS2 English or prepare for SATs, the 11+ or 13+ by engaging with activities such as reading comprehension, creative and persuasive writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar and mock assessment papers.

GCSE English Language and Literature

Undertake lessons designed to identify and address knowledge gaps, gain confidence in understanding what is required by each exam question and learn key exam tips and study advice to be in control of your learning journey. Benefit from personalised feedback to fully understand your strengths and areas to develop so that you're clear about your next steps.

KS3 English

Engage with tutoring lessons designed to support your school curriculum and build confidence with developing key skills that are required for GCSE. Content can include reading, discussing and analysing literary texts; writing essays; creative and persuasive writing and preparing for assessments.

Marking Service

This service provides personalised feedback on written work or mock assessments that students complete outside of lessons. It makes independent work more meaningful by students understanding how well targets have been met and what the next steps are. It is open to students at all levels, both pupils who already take online lessons and those who just want their work marked.

Discover what my students and their parents/guardians say

As reviews go, this is quite easy! Emily has simply been amazing and I can’t recommend her high enough. From the initial meeting she not only put us as parents at ease, she has also gone above our expectations with the tuition she has given our daughter Gabby. She has given her so much confidence within herself as well as the subject. She gives fantastic feedback after each session as well as clear and concise work she should do to move forwards. After the last session my daughter wrote: “Thank you Emily, I couldn’t have done it without you.” I think that said it all.
