With three children of my own, I know how it feels to soothe an anxious perfectionist, and motivate a son inclined to do the bare minimum when it comes to writing. As an experienced English Tutor, I've helped students aged 8-18 to enjoy learning and see better results faster. We've had some outstanding results.

I've taught in three Outstanding Secondary Schools and tutored over twenty five students in the last year, gaining entrance to Stowe, Brighton College (one at 13+, two at 11+) and Hurstpierpoint. Other students at private and state schools have seen their grades at GCSE and A-Level raise from a C to an A, and in one case, from a D to an A. Read more reviews.
I am creative and experienced in enthusing students of all abilities at GCSE, IGCSE, 11+, Common Entrance and A-Level English. In addition to tutoring, I am the author of ATeacherWrites.com and a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
Recent successes include home schooled students, highly reluctant boys at GCSE, those struggling to stay in the top set, students with English as a second language, boys who love science or maths but don't 'get' English, a home-schooled girl lacking confidence, dyslexic, dyspraxic and autistic students.
