Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

Helena P
Helena provided marking and moderation support for my homeschooling of my 11-year-old son, checking his performance on assignments and identifying areas needing attention. Her input was enormously helpful: constructive, comprehensive, and demonstrating a careful, attentive engagement with the work. She also approached her interactions with my son with great enthusiasm and genuine interest in his perceptions and progress, helping set a positive tone for his learning. The effect of this was clear in his response and engagement. I would recommend Helena wholeheartedly to anyone seeking support and assistance with primary school learning.

Caroline W
I was failing and struggling in Higher English and was not understanding it at all. At the start of January I got Caroline as a tutor who improved my grade to a D in my prelim and eventually a B in the exam. I could not recommend Caroline more as she saved my English grade. She taught me short cuts and formulas to answer the questions and went through how my answers were wrong. This made me understand English even more than I did at Nat 5 so overall she is the best teacher you can have if you are struggling.

Cristina P
Cristina is a wonderfully competent and experienced professional with excellent knowledge of the GCSE curriculum. She has kept my daughter fully engaged in her English course and built her confidence, encouraging her to expand answers and, better still using discussion to prompt deeper thinking. I highly recommend Cristina for her breadth and understanding the individual’s needs.

Katie has been an excellent tutor for my twin daughters. Her passion for her subject really shines through.
She made the girls feel comfortable straight away with her calm, friendly and kind nature. This gave them the confidence to really engage and communicate well during the lessons.
Her tutorials were always clear, engaging, and well planned. She explained concepts patiently, encouraged questions and helped the girls to gain a deeper understanding of each topic.
She always took the time to write constructive feedback on any homework that was set and was quick to respond to any questions.
We would highly recommend Katie as a tutor :)
