English Tutoring

I offer private one-to-one English tuition for students from Key Stage 2 through to GCSE. Every student learns differently, so each session is shaped around their individual needs — whether that means building confidence with the basics, working through a set text, or refining exam technique ahead of a deadline. For students aiming for the top grades, I provide targeted stretch and challenge to help them reach their full potential.

I offer thorough preparation across both English Literature and English Language at GCSE level, helping students reach their potential and pushing those aiming for the top grades through targeted stretch and challenge.
