Melanie C
Specialist and successful A level English teacher
It's all about building your confidence.I have 20+ years experience of teaching A level English and I know what AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC exam boards want to see. In my experience students most often need help structuring their thoughts and expressing themselves in a way that gains them marks in an exam or in theircoursework. I can help with that by making suremy feedback is specific and encouraging, by giving examples of exactly what's required and by guiding you carefully so that you can get it right.I will tailor the lessons to suit you which means you're the driving force.I think you can tell...

Jeremy B
Though we had just the one lesson with Jeremy to clarify some doubts that my son had in English Language and Literature, his impact was amazing. My son has ADHD and I mentioned this to Jeremy at the start of the lesson and he assured me that his past experience with similar students would help. It certainly did - my son was able to structure his thoughts and approach much more efficiently and effectively than previously and Jeremy left him many a helpful tip to tackle the aspects of both subjects that he finds especially tricky. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy for his patience, approach and structure.

Connor L
Right from the initial call with Connor, we knew he'd be the best fit as a tutor for English Language/English literature.
Over just the first couple of weeks I noticed already a big difference in my child's confidence and interest in English. So much so that grades of mock exams improved more than 3 grades!
We've now just finished the last tutoring session before the final English Language GCSE. 3 months ago I would not have believed to see my teenager looking forward to an English GCSE exam or even come home with a confident smile after the exam. What a transformation. ✨️
We're truly grateful for Connor's efforts, time, reliability, great communication and amazing support!
We highly recommend him 😊

Megan G
Megan is a fantastic teacher. My daughter really enjoyed the lessons, and felt very at ease speaking and giving her opinions during the lessons. my daughter suffers with anxiety, so finding the right teacher was really important. Megan ticked all the boxes, she is very kind and easy to talk to. If ever we needed to rearrange a lesson, she was super understanding. I would highly recommend Megan! Five stars from us!!!

Mia S
Mia is wonderful and she provided great support to my son with his writing. Her guidance has noticeable impact on his writing style and confidence. He has started to approach analytical writing with a clearer structure and greater understanding which is something he previously struggled with. Mia helped to break down complex idea and express in a more thoughtful and coherent manner. Thank you very much for her patience and expertise.
