***taking bookings for June onwards only***I am a highly experienced English A Level and GCSE teacher, tutor and examiner. My approach is very kind, thoughtful and patient. I believe one-to-one learning is a fantastic way for a student to see quick results, and I regularly see improved confidence levels after only a few lessons with me. Another benefit is, of course, that all lessons can be tailored specifically to each student’s need, and I pride myself on my ability to react and adapt quickly.

Giving English tuition that je ne sais quoi
For over 8 years, I have worked with, and currently work with students of a wide range of ages, levels, and abilities, to achieve their goals. I have excellent experience with AQA, Edexcel, OCR/CIE & Eduqas exam boards. From my own experience I think it is important to follow the tutee's needs, and work on those first. I always try to follow the student's lead and tailor sessions as much as possible. For all students I will always try to provide a balanced well-rounded session with a main theme or objective for the session.However, I do like to let the lesson flow and follow your learning speed...

Hadika M
My son has been enjoying his time with this tutor. It's early days so it's hard to say how effective the tutoring is, but I feel it's already started to work a little.
One thing for sure, we don't have to force him to attend the lessons, which shows he is enjoying it.

Suresh B
Suresh is one of the best tutor my children has ever had. He is very calm, knowledgeable and methodological about how he makes impact. The most important attribute of Suresh that I admire the most is the genuine interest in the academic growth of my children and doing all in his power to ensure this happens.
He started with my first, and seeing how he was able to get through to him, I enrolled my 2 other children with him. They have all excelled tremendously and I have Suresh to thank for this.
