Sophie,
As Debra has said, Craigslist is worthwhile (though it's not as predominant here as it is in the States.)
For London-specifics, gumtree . com is a good UK equivalent. Personally, I'd advertise on both! (If I type in the full address without the dots, the forum software seems to give the full advertising title of the home page, not actually the URI.)
Language tuition in London seems to be about £8-10 / hour. There are rates of up to £15 / hour for private tuition advertised, but these tend to be the "Oxford graduate teaches XXX for A-level" type thing.
Regards,
Mark
