I tutor English; English English
I have always had a passion for English language and literature, and want to be able to share my experiences and understanding of the language so that young people are better equipped to communicate and clear and engaging ways as they approach the middle of the 21st-century.
I have run well resourced, engaging, inspiring, and thoughtful focused sessions with numerous duties over the last 11 years. Many students come to me with a seeming lack of interest in English, and I believe my sessions have helped ignite the curiosity and passion required for the higher grades at GCSE and A-level.I will guide...

Michael L
We are very pleased with the support and guidance our son has received from Michael. He explains clearly and thoroughly, which has really helped our son improve his understanding.
What we appreciate most is the detailed feedback he gives on assignments. His comments are extremely useful because they clearly explain exactly what needs improvement, rather than giving only general remarks. This helps our son understand his weaknesses and work on them.

Richard B
Richard is an excellent tutor. Alisa connected with him from the very first lesson (which is rare!) and he’s been consistently kind, calm and professional. He supported her with both English and Maths, always working on the areas she was struggling with and explaining things in a way that really made sense to her. Richard also sent helpful feedback after every lesson, which I really appreciated as a parent. We’ve seen a real improvement in Alisa’s confidence and her results at school. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend him.

Since working with Lynn, his confidence has grown enormously and he feels much better prepared for his GCSEs. Thank you, Lynn!
