Experienced English Tutor | GCSE & 13+ Specialist

When she started with him, she was predicted a Grade 6 in English Literature and a Grade 5 in Citizenship. She ultimately achieved Grade 9s in both subjects. What impressed us most was that Emmanuel didn’t just teach her what to write in an exam. He worked on the gaps in her knowledge and helped her understand what the examiners were actually looking for. In English Literature, he really developed her confidence with analysing texts, constructing arguments and writing essays that were much more precise and sophisticated.

Emmanuel has been a fantastic tutor. He is patient, encouraging and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. He takes the time to identify areas that need improvement and makes sure they are properly understood before moving on.

He is also very good at communicating progress and highlighting what needs to be worked on between lessons. I would definitely recommend Emmanuel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive and reliable tutor.
