Specialist and successful A level English teacher
It's all about building your confidence.I have 20+ years experience of teaching A level English and I know what AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC exam boards want to see. In my experience students most often need help structuring their thoughts and expressing themselves in a way that gains them marks in an exam or in theircoursework. I can help with that by making suremy feedback is specific and encouraging, by giving examples of exactly what's required and by guiding you carefully so that you can get it right.I will tailor the lessons to suit you which means you're the driving force.I think you can tell...

Izzy S
Izzy was the perfect tutor to help guide me through re-taking my English language GCSE exams. She helped build my confidence and trust in myself of what I know and can do, as well as being kind and very reassuring which was exactly what I needed! If I wanted to change what we were covering in the lesson she would quickly adapt and change the lesson that she had planed to suit and cover what I felt I needed some more confidence work on. Despite having her own life with having a job, university, and a social life she always managed to make time for me and any questions I had about my work, so much so that even when she was on holiday and took some time off, she continued to help me by marking my work and providing feedback through video calls as well as text message. I would strongly recommend Izzy to tutor you or your child as she has helped me in more ways than one and I am very grateful we found her!
