John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Elizabeth A
Elizabeth is awesome! —her love of English is completely infectious and she has been fantastic with my daughter.
She pre-plans and tailors each lesson to her student’s needs; her organised approach produces clarity and structure which has drawn out quality writing.
We came to her with an obscure book that’s not on the regular curriculum and Elizabeth dived straight into reading it so she could provide complete coverage!
We then discovered that Elizabeth has the incredible ability for supporting research projects (EPQ and beyond), enabling our child to work independently and develop their own thinking, without our involvement.
Our daughter is incredibly strong in her stem subjects and we wanted to ensure her writing and analysis skills would be equally developed. Elizabeth has provided exactly this—
She naturally breaks things down in a way that makes everything manageable while maintaining depth. She draws out real analytical thinking—encouraging my daughter to think more deeply, challenge ideas, and develop her own voice.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has great impact, choose Elizabeth!

Georgina has been fantastic throughout my son’s final exam preparation. From the very first lesson, she showed great care and professionalism — always asking what Jason needed and preparing materials accordingly. Her lessons are clear, encouraging and perfectly structured. We couldn’t be happier with the results and have already recommended Georgina to other parents. She is an excellent tutor and we would not hesitate to use her again!
