About Kimberley
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught students of many ages, backgrounds and nationalities in various London based language schools. Nationalities of students that I have taught include: French, Spanish, Italian, Taiwanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and many more. During my teaching, I ensure that language is taught through real life, relevant and meaningful contexts. I address all four of the key language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, through varied activities and teaching methods. I tailor my teaching to the students and ensure that the topics which we use to develop language skills are relevant to the interests and needs of my students.
I also have experience teaching children through voluntary youth work which I have been involved with running for the last seven years. During these evenings I teach children aged between 7-11 and run games, activities and quizzes. I am very used to working with a variety of ages, abilities and backgrounds.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes
- Where and with whom did you train?
I trained to teach English as a foreign language with International House London in Covent Garden.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I am currently tutoring an Italian couple of an Upper-Intermediate level of English in preparation for them to take their IELTS test. This young couple want to develop their writing, speaking, reading and listening skills in order to achieve top IELTS results and enable them to study in England. This will open a lot of career opportunities for them and give them the chance to make that career change that they have both been dreaming about for a long time.
I am tutoring a Russian student in her 50s in order to help her improve her general English. She has lived in England for about ten years, however she would like to improve her knowledge of grammar, pronunciation and reading skills to enable her to communicate with those around her more effectively. I have been teaching her since October and she has made excellent progress!

I am a friendly, approachable and hard-working English Language Teacher, with a passion for language. My aim is to provide my students with the skills and confidence they need to achieve their goals and unlock new opportunities.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach English as a Foreign Language (EFL). I also prepare students to take their IELTS exams for university entrance.
Having achieved great results in my GCSEs, A Levels and degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, I am very experienced in study skills and essay writing and therefore also provide tutoring in this area for both native English speakers and speakers of English as an Additional Language.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I have always been enthusiastic about language. I studied French and German at school, taking my German onto AS Level. I have achieved a 2.1 degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, where I have explored and analysed the English language at great depth.
I completed my teaching qualification to teach English as a foreign language (CELTA) at International House London. This is a well respected certificate in the English language teaching industry and is recognised globally. During my training, I taught across three different levels of English language ability and had six observed hours of teaching practice, by extremely experienced EFL teachers. Having received top quality teacher training, I am now full of fresh ideas, enthusiasm and teaching methods to deliver fantastic tutoring to a wide variety of people types.

Kimberley my first English tutor. "My tutoring session went very well. I was pleased with all of the tips and personalized information given to help my specific needs."
I met Kimberley in 2014.. I had been in the UK for a couple of years at that point, however, although English in my country is studied as a second language since 1st grade, my language skills were (honestly) terrible. Back then I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to do a master degree in journalism so, it was essential for me to take a IELTs qualification as you can’t join a university or professional courses without it.
Kimberly used to offer private tutoring and literally helped me to change my life. I was stuck in hospitality and retail since the time I moved from Italy, and after just a few months of tutoring I was able to pass my IELTs exam and start believing in myself a bit more. One thing led to another until I got my first office job.. I was finally able to express myself much better and expand my vocabulary by an extend that later in the years brought me to become a successful project manager, a proud British Citizen and a very confident speaker. Her lessons helped me a lot to remove all the blockages foreigners have when they move to a new country and I will always be grateful to Kimberly’s teachings! Give her a chance and you won’t regret it!Kimberly has some excellent experience teaching a range of age groups and levels. She approaches lessons planning with a pedagogical mindset; building a range of interesting and dynamic activities to promote communication. She is both a kind and thoughtful teacher and takes time to listen to students’ needs.
Kimberley is a friendly, bubbly and approachable teacher. She is very experienced with teaching children of all ages in a fun and educational way. I highly recommend Kimberley as a tutor.
Kimberley is an incredibly professional and knowledgeable tutor. She has a wealth of experience, and her pupils achieve excellent results. She is kind, patient and conscientious. She always goes the extra mile when it comes to helping her students achieve their goals. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
I must say it was a truly rewarding experience. The class was conducted with a perfect balance of structure and flexibility, creating an environment that fostered active participation and individual growth. Her infectious enthusiasm for the English language made every session dynamic and exciting. Moreover, she uses various teaching methods that encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and express myself confidently in English. The teacher also provided valuable feedback and constructive criticism, creating a safe space for me to improve my speaking, reading and writing skills.
Kim is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced EFL teacher. Her warmth and profesionalism shine through, and the pupils I have sent her way have not only made progress beyond my expectations, but have also thoroughly enjoyed and valued their time spent in Kim's classes. Highly recommend!
