Jake M

A caring, empathetic English Languages tutor.

I am a calm and kind tutor who wants to get the best out of my students each time they are in my lessons. I aim to ensure that my pupils are constantly engaged in my classes and are inmersed in the 4 skills during the classes. I seek to get each pupil from one level to the next in the most fluid way possible, but also ensuring that this is performed at their own pace, as I believe that learning a language needs to be handled in stages without overloading them with information. My sessions also focus on the importance of linking the culture of the countries that speak the languages that my students...

Libby M

Qualified English teacher

I am a highly experienced English A Level and GCSE teacher, tutor and examiner. My approach is very kind, thoughtful and patient. I believe one-to-one learning is a fantastic way for a student to see quick results, and I regularly see improved confidence levels after only a few lessons with me.

I am very passionate about my subject and I am always excited to share this with my students. The most exciting part about studying English is t...

Nicholas Y

I have found Nicholas’ lessons very helpful, as he has always explained concepts to me in a very thorough but clear way. He is very good at explaining examples that we go through together, and his lessons are very much interactive, but also engaging, due to his good sense of humour. I feel a lot more confident after his lessons and look forward to continuing them. GCSE English student

Kate L

We have been very lucky to find Kate. Our son Alex was so nervous with his GCSE English exams before meeting with Kate. Also, initially, not very enthusiastic with the idea of tuitions. But Kate has been so brilliant, clear, approachable, and managed to keep him engaged and focused. More importantly, she has been able, after just few lessons, to boost his confidence and to give him confidence and positivity. Our son now says he finds her lessons very helpful and looks forward to the lesson every week. Kate also revised with our son a topic which came up at the exam!!!

Joseph E

My son had the privilege of being tutored by Joe from the summer holidays, through year 11, up until his GCSE exams (now) for English language and literature. Joe reached out to me in response to my request for a teacher who could meet my son's needs (as he has special educational needs) and particularly picked up on the fact that my son needed a compassionate teacher. He definitely embodied compassion for my son for the duration of his tuition. He quickly established a trusted relationship with my son and gave him all the support he needed. He was adaptive and flexible according to how my son presented on the day. He offered my son breaks when required and generally maintained a low demand environment so my son's anxiety reduced and he was able to learn. Joe truly cared about my son's learning. My son had previously missed out on many years of learning due to his needs and anxiety and before meeting Joe, my son was failing both language and literature exams. Joe delivered a bespoke method of teaching, completely different to school. He employed techniques that were exactly in line with my son's needs, such as multi sensory techniques, breaking down objectives into small steps etc and made the lessons really engaging and accessible. Each lesson was diligently planned and this was very evident in the teaching. It was the first time my son began to understand English language written techniques and particularly the texts for the English Literature exam. However, the most valuable thing Joe helped my son achieve was regaining his confidence and hope that he could pass these exams. In my son's mocks, he was at borderline pass marks for Literature and already at a strong pass for Language. I truly feel these lessons have been a turning point for my son's English GCSEs. I am grateful that my son had the honour of being taught by such a highly qualified, knowledgeable, experienced and professional tutor. Joe was always reliable and if lesson timings needed to be changed (only a few times in the year), Joe communicated well and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Joe for tuition as I feel other students would experience the same success in their educational journey with him as my son has benefitted from.
