What we offer
Lessons built around your child
Every student learns differently — lessons are planned around their exam board, their sticking points, and what actually gets them excited about a text. It's not just tutoring: it's mentoring and support to help students grow in confidence too.
GCSE English Literature
Close reading, essay technique and exam-ready analysis of set texts, poetry and unseen extracts.
GCSE English Language
Creative and transactional writing, comprehension skills and the techniques examiners are looking for.
Exam preparation
Focused revision, past-paper practice and confidence-building in the run-up to GCSE exams.
Mentoring & support
Beyond the subject — study skills, motivation and one-to-one support to help students believe in their own progress. I also help students and advise them on post-GCSE decision making and motivation.
