Katie P
Experienced and encouraging English English tutor
For over 7 1/2 years I have been helping students grow in confidence and improve their grades at key stage three, GCSE levels as well as in a TEFL capacity.As a current secondary English teacher, I pride myself on my nurturing, encouraging style. I feel strongly that students make most progress when they feel safe and supported. I work hard to create this learning environment tailored for my students needs and abilities. For this reason, I will normally begin by establishing the key texts and skills (such as analysis or essay structuring) my tutee wishes to focus on and together come up with a...

Emily C
University of Cambridge graduate English tutor
I am a recent music graduate of the University of Cambridge with a year of experience tutoring music theory, GCSE and A Level music. I approach teaching in a calm, friendly and patient manner; with sessions being organised in whatever structure best suits the student. My priority is always that my pupil understands theories and concepts fully so that they feel they have all the tools to work out difficult questions. This means finding alternative ways of explaining these concepts and multiple methods for solving questions so that you always have your basic understanding and knowledge to fall back...

Robyn is a fantastic English tutor. She is patient, kind, always reliable. Prior to these tutoring lessons my daughter had failed both mocks. With Robyn’s encouragement, she learned to enjoy English and obtained solid passes in English Literature and Language. Robyn gave her confidence in her abilities. I cannot thank her enough.

Amanda is a fantastic English tutor. She is really engaging and made what was a stressful subject fun. My child is not a keen learner but Amanda's approach has helped them to commit to the extra lessons and improve their understanding of what is needed in KS3.

Ameela R
Ameela tutored my daughter for both English Language and Literature for the recent GCSE’s. These were subjects that my daughter found challenging and Ameela made a huge difference to her ability to tackle both subjects. Ameela provided a framework to enable structured answers and her experience meant that she understands what is required by examiners to achieve high grades. The regular and focused work that Ameela did with my daughter was crucial in enabling her to get to grips with the subjects.
Ameela always has a plan for lessons and the regular help and expertise provided enabled by daughter to achieve a 9 in Eng Lit and an 8 in Eng Language which was an amazing result!
More importantly, over the course of the preparations, Ameela gave my daughter the confidence and skills that will be invaluable to her as she continues with sixth form.

Rob R
I would like to thank Rob for helping my daughter with both English Language and English Literature at her GCSEs. She achieved Grade 7 in both the English subjects and I have Rob to thank for that for guiding and supporting her to achieve the results, along with providing valuable tips. Rob is a wonderful teacher who manages to quickly establish a rapport with the student which helps in the course of study. I would definitely recommend Rob for GCSE lessons in English Language and Literature.

Hannah W
Hannah is a fantastic tutor. She supported my son over 3 months in structuring answers to questions in both English Language and Literature papers. She was knowledgeable, flexible and adapted lessons to his needs. She set relevant homework and provided very helpful feedback. All this enabled my son to go from grades 5&6 in mocks to 7&9 in his summer GCSE examinations. A really brilliant achievement
