Why a Strong Grasp of English is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing poetry; it's the foundation for success in every other subject. Strong comprehension and writing skills are vital, from understanding exam questions in Science to crafting persuasive essays in History. A good grade in GCSE English is often a requirement for A-Level courses at respected local sixth forms like Palmer's College, and it opens up a huge range of university and career paths for your child.

Sam B
Friendly and supportive English tutor
Hello! My name is Sam and I’m a primary school teacher and graduated with a BA in Primary Education. I enjoy teaching as nothing beats the ‘light bulb’ moment, when a child grasps a concept and can then apply it in their day-to-day life.
Just like my teaching in my classroom and tutoring sessions, I like to keep things short, concise and focussed on the concept being learnt, to avoid cognitive overload. So, here is a little about me:
• I have been teaching in primary schools for 6 years.
• I have taught in Year 3 and Year 6, so I know how the curriculum progresses.
• I am currently head of yea...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Stuart has been amazing helping my S4 with Nat 5 English coursework and exam revision. He is very knowledgeable, personable and reliable. He put my teen at ease straight away and has been helping keep study on track. We would certainly work with Stuart again for Higher. Highly recommended!

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.
