Qualified Teacher and Experienced English Tutor | GCSE English Essay Skills and Exam Technique | Friendly and Supportive

I am a passionate and experienced English tutor with extensive experience teaching and tutoring students aged-year olds in secondary schools.

My approach is student-centred, with clear feedback and practical next steps. I aim to help students develop the reading, writing and exam skills they need to succeed. I teach AQA, Edexcel and OCR.

I have a First-Class BA History degree and an MA in Medieval Studies. My academic background has given me strong analytical and essay writing skills, many of which are directly transferable to English. It also gives me expertise when helping students understand the cultural and historical context of English literature.

I qualified as an English tutor in 2022 through the National Tutoring Program. Following this, I delivered one-to-one tuition and small group classes in English at secondary schools in Manchester. In these interventions, each student's reading age improved by an average of 11 months after only 12 weeks of English tuition.

I have four years of experience tutoring English. Among GCSE students who completed multiple tuition sessions (6 or more), all achieved at least two GCSE grades higher than their expected grade.
