Terry U
Inspiring English tutor
I can hear you now: "More school? After school? No, please.'Let me explain why I know where you're coming from.It doesn't matter how old you get. The moment something difficult finally clicks, is one of the the most freeing feelings you will experience. It doesn't change whether you're a child or an adult, life still wants to teach us hard things and sometimes in the hardest ways. I also remember attending school and feeling like nothing clicks, I mustn't be smart enough. Confidence low, school just isn't something I'm good at it. You look around the room and your friends are all answering questions,...

Gemma K
13 years of English exam teaching expertise!
If my career as an English teacher taught me anything, it is this: while exam syllabi and mark schemes (usually) stay the same, every student is different. I always strive to ensure that my lessons focus on my student: improve THEIR skills; build THEIR confidence; work towards the goals that THEY set; present content in a way that suits THEIR learning style and interests. I have a strong track record in helping students of all levels and abilities to achieve this in school based and external exams and assessments, both as a classroom teacher and tutor. My student is at the heart of every lesson...

Catherine C
Our daughter (8) has really started to flourish with Catherine's support. She enjoys a mixture of reading, spellings and Spanish in each of her sessions, with the readings tailored towards her passion for science. Her weekly tutoring sessions have had a positive impact upon her confidence, with noticeable progression at school moving up a reading group for example.
I would highly recommend Catherine for her energetic and fun approach to learning which has suited our daughter perfectly.

Erin H
Erin is an amazing tutor! My daughter’s confidence has dramatically improved since her lessons with Erin, and her grades in both English language and literature have soared. My daughter (Y11) says Erin is very kind and patient, explains concepts really clearly and makes sure she understands everything covered in each lesson. My daughter’s ability to analyse texts and structure her writing has really taken off with Erin’s help. Erin has also given her lots of handouts and resources relevant to her GCSE exam board, and has offered to mark her written work if needed. My daughter really enjoys English now, and is considering taking English literature at A level! I can’t praise Erin highly enough, and would recommend her to anyone.
