Hello! I'm an experienced English tutor with a passion for helping students succeed.

Deborah J
Deborah has been the best tutor I could ask for. She’s so kind, patient, and has helped me gain a lot of confidence in my writing. Being bilingual I often struggled with the grammar and tenses in English but Deborah worked with me and has helped me go from a 4 to a 7! She makes each class very productive and tailored to you and has so many techniques up her sleeve. Honestly I would recommend Deborah to anyone! Without her I’m certain I could not have improved anywhere near what I have, as she pushes you gently but surely to do the best you can :)

Libby M
I cannot recommend Libby highly enough. So I'll let my Y11 son do it: "Libby is not only great at providing practical guidance for all English topics - literature and language - but also encourages philosophical and ethical discussions about the content, which allowed me to greatly improve my GCSE English grade. I started Year 10 strongly disliking English, but after Libby, I have a real appreciation and liking for the subject - and books and plays in general - to the extent that I am seriously considering English Literature as an A - Level. I am now able to have intelligent conversations about novels, poetry and plays, which is undoubtedly thanks to Libby's tutoring. She has been beyond helpful.
