Matthew Thompson

I have worked as a GCSE Examiner between for Eduqas/WJEC, OCR, and Cambridge International iGCSE (CIE) exam boards, so consequently know the mark schemes very well and what is needed to improve answers and achieve certain grades.

I cover material from Key Stage 1 all the way up to A Level and Degree material. I have been teaching for 10 years and have taught material from all the major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel/Pearson, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas).

I teach preparation for 11+, 13+, and King's Scholarship exams, as well as International students iGCSE and S.A.Ts.

I have taught many students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, ADD, ADHD, slow processing issues and various learning challenges and have found a way to always engage them in the sessions and keep them interested in the subject.
I am an experienced and professional Private Tutor who teaches in the South of England. I have degrees in English Literature and History; I specialise in all the humanities subjects: English Literature, English Language, History, Religious Studies, Politics, and Psychology.

I have a decade of experience and dozens of 5-star reviews on other tuition websites and references which I am happy to send.

I have a great deal of experience teaching content from all of the major exam boards, for English Language and Literature: AQA, Edexcel/Pearson, WJEC/Eduqas, for History: OCR, Edexcel and AQA. I also teach Cambridge iGCSEs (for English and History) and teach English as a second language (ESL) to foreign students and Maths at KS2.

I have a passion for teaching; I love interacting with students and seeing them develop their skills, expand their knowledge, and realise their potential. I try to immediately establish a strong rapport with my students, and I aim to ensure that my sessions are very engaging and interactive.

Typically, my students improve by at least 3 grades after a year with me, although there have been some higher and more impressive leaps in grades.
