Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child in Leicester
English is more than just a subject; it’s a fundamental skill for life. It’s the ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' with confidence, but it's also about building a compelling argument for an essay or communicating ideas clearly. These are the skills that colleges look for and are essential for thriving in A-Levels and on competitive humanities courses at the University of Leicester. With the right support, we know that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and our GCSE students can improve by up to two grades, opening up a world of opportunity.

Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.
