Focused English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how your child learns best, they can tailor their approach, making tricky topics like grammar rules or Shakespearean language feel much more manageable. We handpick the very best tutors from across the UK – only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted – so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're finding creative writing for the Kent Test a challenge, the session will focus on that. If they need to get to grips with analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' for their GCSEs, that's what their tutor will cover. This targeted support is why so many students find they make progress so quickly, and why we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.
