Michael Lawton

Hello, and thank you for looking at my profile! My name is Michael Lawton, and I offer GCSE tutoring in Stoke-on-Trent, both online and in person. My aim is simple: to help students feel more confident, more prepared, and less stressed when it comes to exams. I know from personal experience how overwhelming GCSEs can sometimes feel, and I want to share what I’ve learned to make the process much easier for others.

My lessons are friendly, supportive, and adapted to each student. At the start, I take time to get to know what you need most — whether that’s going over topics you find confusing, practising exam-style questions, or just building your confidence in a subject you don’t feel strong in yet. From there, we work step by step at your own pace. I believe learning works best when explanations are clear and straightforward, so I always break things down into manageable parts. If something doesn’t click the first time, I’ll happily explain it again in a different way until it makes sense.

Because I’ve recently been through my own GCSE journey, I know exactly what it’s like to sit in the exam hall with all the pressure that comes with it. This means I can share practical tips and revision strategies that really helped me. Sometimes, it’s not just about knowing the subject — it’s about knowing how to approach the exam, manage your time, and stay calm under pressure. I try to build these skills into lessons so you feel ready for anything on exam day.

Above all, I want my lessons to be encouraging and motivating. Every student learns differently, so I make sure to listen carefully and adapt my approach. My goal is not only to help you improve your grades but also to help you feel more confident in your own abilities. Whether you’re aiming to reach a top grade or just want to feel more secure about passing, I’ll work with you to get there.

If you’re looking for a tutor who is approachable, understanding, and determined to help you succeed, I’d be delighted to work with you. Let’s tackle those tricky topics together and make your GCSEs feel that little bit easier.
