About Hana
I'm an experienced English and essay writing tutor with a first class degree in English Literature and a minor in The History of Science, Technology and Medicine from the University of Manchester. I've worked at an international school teaching KS2, KS3 and pre-GCSE lessons according to the National Curriculum of England. I've also tutored GCSE and A Level English Literature. I've taught and tutored a wide range of students over the years and supported them with a range of issues from test and exam anxiety to a lack of motivation. I've also supported students with learning difficulties, or boosted and challenged students aiming to get into Grammar schools and top Universities. I have proofread essays and personal statements, prepared students for grammar school and University admissions tests like the 11+ or the Oxford ELAT, and held mock University interviews. I try to plan my lessons creatively, adapting to my students' learning styles. For example, I have been known to incorporate games and movement into my lessons to help build muscle memory and active retention. With my older students, I enjoy working rigorously through poetry, prose and drama, combining active close reading and analysis with consistent exam practice through feedback and timed assessments. With biology and maths, I work through the material step by step, using diagrams, videos and practice questions from various exam boards to cover every possible angle. I care about my students and I value building a strong relationship with every student, working hard to make sure they have a strong grasp of the subject they are struggling with, and that we are always working towards concrete goals in a focussed manner. If you're wondering if I can work with you or your child, don't hesitate to get in touch. At present, I teach online and from my home in Derby.

I have known Hana Jafar for quite a while now as the tutor of my brother Mohammad Bilal Arsala. Her teaching skills and methods are engaging as my younger brother who struggled in English literature now feels much more enthusiastic and confident in approaching poetry. Hana with her skills and expertise in the English subject has also started tutoring him English language in preparation for his GCSEs and in the same way, my brothers analysis and language skills have improved quite a lot in a very short space of time. As a tutor Hana gives her whole focus and attention to her students by not only teaching them in the assigned time but also giving useful preparatory work and exam style questions outside of the sessions which she thoroughly checks and gives feedback on. From the beginning of the year, my brothers motivation and confidence in both English language and literature has boosted immensely and me and him both feel he has benefitted from Hana’s professional tutoring. For him she makes learning more fun and approachable, whereas normally it would intimidate him. I have frequently looked over Bilals homework and tution work with Hana and can guarantee she is an excellent tutor with great skill and knowledge in her subject area.
