Experienced and encouraging English Literature tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well. I personally enjoy the discussions, the debates. the sparks that come with a broader knowledge of the subject. And that "light bulb" moment that...

I am delighted to offer tutoring on a variety of subjects!
I am originally from Toronto, Canada but now work as a researcher at the University of Edinburgh.My style of teaching is flexible in that it would be planned based on the needs of the student and ultimately my lessons would be student-led. Thus, while I would make a lesson plan, it would be amenable to change based on the needs and requests of the student. I am calm, patient and encouraging in my approach to teaching, so am happy to go at whatever pace best suits the student. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of teaching varying levels of academic writing reading from primary school ...
Su has been fantastic with our son. He is studying for Geography A level and she has helped him enormously with his focus and is patient as well as the right side of structured for his personality. I would definitely recommend Su.

Alena tutored my Year 12 daughter with her BTEC3 Health and Social Care when she got behind. She was a big help and my daughter's confidence is much improved through her sessions. Alena was always punctual and helpful. The experience was something my daughter enjoyed and benefitted greatly from. She was easy to deal with and I would recommend her without hesitation.

We had a great experience with Christine. She made my nervous and shy daughter feel at ease immediately (we'd already tried a few other tutors).
Chris focused on what we asked for her focus on initially, but then moved on to different subjects when she saw my daughter was progressing well. Each session felt tailored to her learning needs.
My daughter excelled in her 11plug and won places in 2 top schools. We can't recommend Chris enough.

I’m really grateful for his guidance and can’t wait to continue learning with him!

Shannon is an absolutely brilliant tutor. Every session is tailored to exactly what I need, and she has been amazing at making difficult topics, especially Stats, feel manageable. I’m doing a psychology conversion master’s at the moment, and her support and reassurance with everything have helped me massively. I’m so grateful for her continued help and couldn’t recommend her enough!
