Hannah B
Enthusiastic tutor of English Lit, Lang and Classics
Hi! I’m Hannah - unabashed nerd, writing enthusiast and, perhaps most importantly, English teacher. I’ve taught in secondary schools for the last three years, largely teaching the AQA English Language and Literature syllabuses to GCSE, although I do have experience of tutoring other syllabuses as well, including OCR and Edexcel. Having a background in Classical Studies means that I bring a lot of context to allusions and references, helping students to build stronger connections across texts and solidify their confidence in tackling unseen passages. Whilst I’ve been predominantly teaching to GC...

William H
Make Maths Fun ! GCSE Maths Tutor.
I am 64 and have spent most of my working life caring for children and young people. My education in Maths went up to Degree level at Sheffield University. My experience of tutoring is informal and relies on my interpersonal skills with young people. I take a person centred approach developed when achieving a Certificate in Counselling to address issues identified by the student. I believe everyone can do Maths and my approach to those who struggle is to identify their blocks with students and to install the confidence to overcome them. Once a student becomes familiar, comfortable and flexible...

Lesley H
Lesley has been an excellent tutor for our son, who is in Year 5 and preparing for the 11+ exams. She is highly professional, well structured, and very supportive in her approach. Since he started lessons with her, we have seen a clear improvement in both his performance and confidence. He has recently achieved very strong results in his school assessments and, more importantly, now approaches his work with much greater self-belief and motivation. Lesley is very organised in her teaching, provides targeted homework, and offers clear guidance on how to improve further, including exam technique and time management. Her feedback after each session is always detailed and helpful. We are very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a committed and effective tutor.
