Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

We’ve seen that targeted support can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
