Tutoring Experience
As of June 2025, I have over 1,100 hours of tutoring experience.
Recently I have worked with many Year 10-11 students for GCSE English.
I have much recent experience of tutoring students for AQA and Pearson Edexcel GCSEs, including the Edexcel International GCSEs.
I work mainly with students who, for whatever reasons, struggle with their English studies. I help them to focus on what is required to pass English GCSE exams.
Tutoring Approach
My teaching style is flexible and focused on how best to help the student to pass their exams.
I discuss with the student and parents what they find most challenging. Then I put together a strategy that will get the best results.
For example, if a student finds writing structured essays difficult, then we practice this on a regular and ongoing basis.
The focus and theme of a lesson is decided on a weekly basis.
As much as is possible or desirable, lessons are consistent with what is being taught in class, so that the student is not distracted from or confused by any differences with what they are currently studying in school.
Homework tasks are sometimes provided – mostly listening to appropriate and relevant radio programmes or watching film clips.
I encourage students to read texts aloud, to hear – and not just see – words and how they sound and function.
