John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Gloria explained things really clearly and taught my daughter a lot in preparation for her English GCSE. She is patient and makes lessons enjoyable, and gives lots of tips and strategies for planning answers. My daughter is a lot more confident in English now. Thank you!

Highly recommended GCSE English tutor!

Donald S
We only wish we had found Donald a few weeks earlier. He was able to place the methodology, exam technique and essay-writing style into a context that truly engaged our son and helped him understand the material more clearly. As a result, his independent revision became far more structured, much higher in quality and, most importantly, far less of a chore. We worked with Donald for A-level Combined English, and our son’s exam experience was the best it has ever been. We are extremely grateful for Donald’s support, and I have no doubt that the time he spent with our son, together with the more focused revision that followed, helped him feel significantly more confident going into his exams.

Rhian P
Rhian has a formal approach that ensures the hour is packed. My daughter has started to struggle with English and claims to hate it. She has used snippets of tips from Rhian at school and seems to be more positive about the subject of late. I have stopped the tutoring for now and will look to pick up from year 9.

My daughter really enjoyed having Flora as her teacher because her lessons were always productive, engaging, and fun. They helped her achieve strong results in her English exams, as Flora taught her excellent techniques for structuring her answers. She also found the quotation banks Flora created for her extremely helpful, as they saved her a great deal of time when revising for her GCSEs.

Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for local colleges like Bridgend. They can focus specifically on the WJEC English curriculum to help your child secure the grades they need to progress to their chosen A-Level courses.
