I’m an experienced English tutor and former examiner, specialising in GCSE English, as well as A-Level English and Creative Writing. I also work with students preparing for their 11+ or 13+ exams, and I’m familiar with both the GCSE and IGCSE curricula. With several years of experience as a GCSE examiner and SATs marker, I understand what examiners look for and how to help students excel. Additionally, I tutor English at the degree level for those pursuing higher education.
I hold a Master’s degree in English and have a genuine passion for the subject. I firmly believe that mastering language opens the door to endless possibilities. My teaching philosophy is simple: those who become confident and capable in English gain the tools to influence and lead in any field. Strong communication skills often pave the way for success, and I aim to help my students not only achieve the qualifications they need but also foster a lifelong appreciation for literature and poetry.
My approach is rigorous but always good-humoured. I am incredibly patient and take great pride in being able to connect with students who may feel lost in their studies. I am equally passionate about stretching and challenging students who are aiming to push their grades from an A to an A*. Whatever your level, my goal is to make you feel confident and empowered in your studies.
If you’re ready to improve your skills and gain confidence in English, I’m here to help!
