My lessons are engaging, structured, and tailored to meet each student's unique needs. With over 18 years of experience as a Senior Examiner, Head of Whole School English, and Assistant Principal, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every session. Specialising in GCSE English and 11 Plus preparation, I focus on building students’ confidence, mastering exam techniques, and deepening their understanding of key concepts.

Lesson Format and Dynamics
Each lesson begins with a brief review of prior learning to reinforce core skills, followed by targeted exercises that address specific areas of need, such as reading comprehension, writing structure, or analytical skills. I use a mix of interactive discussions, practice questions, and exam-style tasks to ensure students are both challenged and supported.

Content and Focus
For GCSE English, I help students develop skills in literary analysis, critical thinking, and structured essay writing. In 11 Plus preparation, my focus is on honing verbal reasoning, comprehension, and vocabulary-building skills, all critical for exam success. Lessons are designed to be dynamic and engaging, with clear explanations, useful tips, and strategies that students can apply independently.

Results and Expectations
In my small group and one-to-one sessions, students typically see significant progress within a few months. On average, my students achieve a 2-grade improvement in GCSE English after 12-16 weeks, with some advancing even further. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to reach their full potential.

Whether you're looking for comprehensive exam preparation or to boost your confidence in English, my lessons provide structured, effective support that’s accessible online for your convenience.
