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.

Expert GCSE English Tutor.
22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE!

Emma H
My daughter is taking her GCSEs next year so decided to help her by getting her an English tutor. Emma has been brilliant, Emily’s normal quite shy but I can hear her asking and answering questions. Very happy we found her.

Abigail M
Abi has been tutoring my daughter for the past couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. She is such a kind, friendly, and patient tutor who has made learning something my daughter genuinely looks forward to every week.
Not only are her lessons engaging and enjoyable, but it’s clear that Abi puts a lot of time and effort into preparing for each one. She goes above and beyond outside of the lessons to make sure they’re tailored and well planned, and it really shows.
It’s been wonderful to see my daughter’s confidence grow, and she can’t wait for her lesson each week. I would highly recommend Abi to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and fantastic tutor. Thank you for all your hard work!

Matthew B
My son was really struggling and behind in English (dyslexia and ADHD also). Working with Matthew B really gave his confidence a boost and made him feel like he finally understood how to approach questions and how paragraphs worked and it made a huge improvement on his work and most recent mock papers. Thank you so much for making him feel like he could do it after years of giving up on himself
