Michael B

Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor

I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Rebecca T

Rebecca has been an excellent English tutor to our 9 year old during a very difficult time when he needed to be homeschooled. She catered her lessons around subjects our little one found interesting and enjoyed, and she managed to keep him much more engaged with his schoolwork than we were able to do on our own. Rebecca provided very detailed and helpful verbal and written feedback after lessons and helped us identify his strengths and weaknesses so that we knew what to focus on. We have seen improvement with his writing ability and spellings, and it has been great to see him more engaged with a subject he doesn't like very much! We have been very happy with Rebecca's work and we would highly recommend her as a tutor. Thanks for all your help Rebecca!

Thanks to his expert guidance and inspiring teaching style, she developed a deep understanding and genuine appreciation of both subjects. By the time her GCSEs came around, she felt fully prepared and confident — she even found the exams enjoyable! We would highly recommend Rob to any family looking for a dedicated and talented English tutor. Thank you, Rob, for helping our daughter thrive!

Sam has been helping our son in year 9 with English for about 6 months now. He is the 2nd tutor we used, and definitely the best. Very engaging and my son looks forward to the session each week…not sure there is more you can hope for! Very reliable too. Have recommended to a friend who now also uses Sam for his son. Would definitely recommend.
