Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

Hi I am Nicky and I was a teacher in Hampshire for over fifteen years at Wildern School in Hedge End, The Hamble School (11-16) and Itchen Sixth Form College in Southampton.

I love teaching English - I have a passion for literature and I particularly love poetry (something that many of my students don't understand!! However, hopefully I manage to at...

Jessica L
My son Alexander is in year 9 and started working with Jessica in the summer. I just felt that he isn't really engaged with his English lessons in school, but the school never raised any concerns.
His attitude and confidence is changing dramatically through the work with Jessica.
Jessica is a fantastic tutor: experienced, calm, attentive and inspiring. Her lessons are well structured and interesting.
Alexander will tell her what he finds difficult in school, and they will just work on it. He really likes her, and his effort & conduct are outstanding in his first school report. I am confident that English will be no problem going into the GCSE years.

I'm really impressed with Alex. In no time at all he's turned my son around from despising English to being completely engaged, willing and even excited for his tutoring session. I cannot recommend Alex enough, thank you for all you've done so far, I can't wait to see how far David progresses!

Rebecca is incredibly patient and thoughtful — she always tailors the lessons to Fanfan’s interests and makes learning enjoyable and effective. She also communicates with us regularly and works closely with us to find the best ways to support his learning. We truly appreciate her professionalism, warmth, and dedication.
