Philippa (Poppy) Tibbetts

My lessons are interactive, engaging, and tailored to each student’s needs. I specialise in GCSE English, and I also have experience teaching History, Maths, Science, and Art. I have a background in the arts and humanities and experience supporting children with special educational needs, so I know how to make lessons both creative and accessible while maintaining strong academic focus.

Lessons typically combine:

Structured guidance on the key syllabus topics and exam skills

Practice and application, including writing tasks, problem-solving, and analysis

Individualised support, adjusting the pace and approach to suit each student

Confidence-building strategies to help students approach exams with self-assurance

I aim to make lessons interactive and fun, using creative approaches from my arts background to help students understand and remember concepts, while always keeping the academic rigor needed for top GCSE results.
