Arabi A
experienced English Literature tutor
Hi, I'm Arabi, a tutor with over four years of experience helping students reach their potential. I studied Electronic Engineering at King's College London and took A-Level English Literature, so I'm well-placed to support students across both scientific and humanities subjects.What sets my approach apart is that I never guess where a student needs help - I find out. Every new student starts with a past paper under exam conditions, and from there, I dig into the results to understand where marks are slipping, whether that's a gap in topic knowledge, weak exam technique, poor timing, or nerves....

What can I say but a massive thank you! Our daughter got a 4 in her mocks… and we then found Elizabeth. Result: 9 (and a very strong 9). She helped our daughter understand what the teachers were looking for and helped refocus in a subject we were really struggling with. Thank you!!

My son has only had Chantelle for a few months for GCSE English literature and already we have seen huge progress. She is very inspiring tutor and has given his a massive confidence boost which has already reflected in his grades. She is friendly, prepared and so knowledgeable. A pleasure to deal with . My son looks forward to her lessons which he finds really helpful to his study. Would totally recommend.

Sophie Isabella H
I cannot recommend Sophie Isabella enough.
My son had been struggling with his English (both Literature and Language). Isabella quickly identified the areas that needed improvement and put together a clear, structured plan. The results were almost immediate. My son's grades improved dramatically, and so did his confidence going into his GCSEs.
Isabella is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, dedicated, and helpful — an absolute pleasure to work with.
We feel very lucky to have found her!

Lily E
Lily is an excellent tutor, we highly recommend her. She tutored my son for his GCSE literature and language exams. Her sessions are really well planned and my sons engagement, question answering skills, essay technique and knowledge increased hugely thanks to her sessions.
My son had not been to school for over two years due to anxiety and although he had online lessons in English he really needed some extra help. Thanks to Lily he managed to raise his predicted grade considerably and went into his GCSE exams feeling prepared and confident.
