Why Strong English Grades are Key to Your Child's Future
A strong GCSE in English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for your child's future choices. It develops crucial skills in communication and critical thinking, whether they're analysing a tricky quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay. These are the skills that colleges and universities look for, giving your child the best possible chance to secure their A-Level place and stand out in future applications. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help boost GCSE results by up to two grades.

Your child's tutor will take the time to get to know their learning style, pinpointing exactly where they need a bit of extra help and building a genuine, supportive connection.

This focused approach helps fill in any gaps, builds lasting understanding, and makes learning feel positive again. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule.

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.
