Personalised Tutoring in Aruba

Name: Bookworm English Tutoring Aruba
Address: AW

My name is Kush (otherwise known as Mr. Melwani). I was born and raised in Aruba and later studied English at the University of Cambridge, where I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. I am a fully qualified teacher, with PGCE and QTS certification, and have taught in London and Thailand over the last four years. I also hold a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) qualification.

After studying and teaching abroad, I returned to Aruba with a strong belief in bringing skills and experience back to the island. I’m passionate about supporting students here to build confidence, achieve their academic goals, and reach their full potential.

If you’re looking for support with any subjects, exams, or college admissions, feel free to get in touch with me on WhatsApp — I’m always happy to discuss how I can help.

Expert Tutoring

Why Choose Me?

Personalised teaching — not generic tutoring

No two students learn the same way. Every session is tailored to your child’s strengths, gaps, confidence level, and goals — whether they’re aiming to raise an SAT score, succeed in AP English, or build fluency in English as a second language. I adapt lessons in real time based on how they respond and progress.

I don’t rely on one-size-fits-all worksheets or recycled lesson plans. Each session is planned around the individual student, so time is spent where it matters most.

Proven classroom experience

I’m a fully qualified teacher (PGCE + QTS) with classroom experience in London and Thailand, including extensive work with students with learning difficulties and special educational needs (SEN). That means I bring real teaching expertise — not just subject knowledge. I explain complex ideas clearly, spot misconceptions quickly, and support students who feel stuck or overwhelmed. I also know how to stretch high-achievers while strengthening foundations for students who need more support.

Expert academic background

I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in English from the University of Cambridge. Students benefit from strong subject knowledge combined with practical exam strategy and clear, accessible explanations.

Confidence as well as results

Progress isn’t just about knowledge — it’s about confidence. Many students know more than they think but struggle under pressure. I focus on building confidence in reading, writing, and communication so students can perform at their best.

Local understanding, international standards

I was born and raised in Aruba, then studied and taught abroad. Parents can expect high-quality, professional tutoring with an approachable, personal style — grounded in local understanding and international experience.

Clear communication with parents

I value transparency. Parents are kept informed about progress, focus areas, and next steps, and I’m always happy to discuss how a student is doing or adjust lessons as needed.
