Professional Support
Online Tutoring
With 12 years' experience, over 10,000 hours of teaching, and working in some of the UK's leading academic schools, I offer one-to-one English tuition for 11+, 13+, Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 (GCSE and IGCSE), and Key Stage 5 (A-Level).
Alongside my work as an experienced teacher and key-stage co-ordinator, I have examined for multiple exam boards, including AQA GCSE English Literature (2019, 2022, 2025, 2026), AQA English Language (2026) and OCR GCSE English Language (2024, 2025). Last year, I was rated Outstanding by OCR for the quality of assessment.

I now offer online tutoring, working both independently as well as with some of the leading tutoring agencies in the country.
Lesson Planning
Tuition typically begins with some form of baseline assessment. Marked work, school reports and feedback from Parent’s Evenings inform this pre-assessment. If appropriate, I can even liaise with your child’s school teacher if possible.
Lessons then begin in earnest: typically we review homework and prior learning, breakdown new concepts, model their application, introduce writing scaffolds, progress toward independent writing, before reviewing progress and future targets at the end of the session. Unlike many tutors, I plan my lessons in advance, ensuring each one is carefully tailored to your child's targets and learning needs.
As your child’s teachers will tell you, progress in English takes time - and it will likely take more than a term to see tangible progress - but regular communication and correspondence will keep you informed each step of the way.
I offer both 1:1 support, as well as group tuition. The former offers personalised, individual support; the latter opens up engagement and discussion, whilst keeping the advantages of a small group.

Marking Services
Marking is the key bottleneck for every English department. This is because marking in English takes far longer than in other subjects, the interpretive mark schemes make marking more demanding, and departments often lack experienced examiners due to the time pressure that examining involves. Yet frequent, high-quality assessment and feedback is one of the most effective ways to improve student outcomes.
I have examined multiple times across a range of exam boards and have the time to mark work during the working day. I currently offer marking services to a number of clients, tutoring agencies, and businesses.
If full-time tutoring isn't what you're looking for, but you'd value additional marking and assessment support, then I'd love to hear from you. Please click onto my ‘Contact’ section to discuss your requirements and how I can help .
Additional Services
Reports and Parents’ Evenings
School reports and parents' evenings are time-limited. With large class sizes and packed schedules, reports often rely on comment and target banks, while parents' evenings are typically limited to five-minute slots per subject. As an additional service, I can offer detailed, personalised reports and longer, unhurried meetings that give a genuine overview of your child's progress.
Bespoke Support 
Mock Examinations
I can also offer additional mock examinations, either in the run-up to your child’s GCSE mocks or after them during the Easter break. I have prior experience designing mock examination papers for use in schools in my role as a Key Stage Co-ordinator, ranging from 11+ through to A-Level.
