Elite English Tutoring: Expert Support from a Career Educator

The Professional Edge

With over 20 years of experience as and professional editor and five years of experience in teaching, I offer more than just standard curriculum support; I provide a deep-dive into the mechanics of language and literature. My academic background, including a 1st Class degree in English and an MA degree in English Language and Linguistics, is currently being furthered through an MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford. This continuous engagement with high-level pedagogy ensures that my students benefit from the most effective, research-backed instructional methods available today. Crucially, as an active AQA A-Level Examiner, I possess firsthand, behind-the-scenes insight into exactly what exam boards demand. This allows me to teach the precise analytical and writing skills required to secure top grades.

A Bespoke Pedagogical Approach

I believe that the most successful tutoring is never "one size fits all." Whether you are navigating the nuances of GCSE English, the analytical demands of A-Level Literature, or the complexities of Undergraduate-level study, I specifically plan every session to meet your unique needs and the specific requirements of your exam board. By bridging the gap between classroom learning and individual mastery, I help students develop the critical thinking and sophisticated writing skills necessary for top-tier academic success.

Versatile Experience, Proven Results

My career has taken me from the high-pressure environments of selective independent schools to the diverse challenges of state schools in diverse areas. This breadth of experience allows me to adapt my teaching style to any learner, regardless of their starting point or previous barriers to success. I pride myself on being a member of the Chartered College of Teaching, ensuring that my practice is held to the highest professional standards in the UK.

Flexible Support for a Global Classroom

In an increasingly connected world, I am proud to offer flexible online tutoring that fits your schedule, wherever you are. I have dedicated slots for international students in the early mornings (before 07:00 UK time) to accommodate different time zones, alongside traditional evening and weekend availability. For those local to the Blackpool, Poulton, Preston, Kirkham, Lancaster and surrounding areas, I also offer the option of in-person sessions, bringing elite-level academic support directly to your home.

Transparent Investment

Every session includes bespoke planning tailored to the student's specific needs and exam board.
