Testimonials
Over the past 12 years, I've helped thousands of students make progress.
Many go on to achieve two or more grades of progress. In my final year of teaching, 100% of my students secured grades 7-9 in English Language. Some achieved full marks in their English Literature papers.
Below you can read some of the stories from the people I've had the pleasure of working with; pictured are some of the gifts that I’ve received along the way.

“As an English teacher myself it was clear to see the excellent subject knowledge, detail and depth that Tim brought to his teaching and how interesting and accessible he made difficult ideas. As a result, my son's enthusiasm for the subject grew, where he is naturally more inclined to maths and science. My son continues to read novels and watch films and discuss them for fun because he was given a lasting love of the subject by Tim and his excellent teaching. Tim was also very sensitive to my son's learning style and able to teach in a way that worked for him, which is a true skill. Finally, he was warm and supportive throughout, which made his classroom a very happy place. I would thoroughly recommended Tim as an English tutor.”

“I wanted to thank you for being such an amazing teacher. You have really helped me truly enjoy a subject and I'm so grateful to have had you as a teacher. You helped me find a subject that I was good at and actually enjoyed and I can't thank you enough for that. You have had such a large impact on how I view the subject as a whole and why I chose to continue it for A-level. Thank you so much for being such a great teacher and good luck with everything!”

“During year 10 and the start of year 11 my daughter lacked confidence and was not sure how to translate her knowledge of the texts into high-scoring essays. Timothy showed a high level of commitment to helping her make progress. His approach was very positive and supportive and he always made himself available to help if needed - including making a point of speaking to her prior to GCSE exams to give a last pep talk and encourage and reassure her. It sounds like a cliché but we really did feel he went above and beyond and the results were very positive for my daughter - a grade she was proud of at GCSE and increased confidence in both the subject as well as her approach to learning.”

“I wanted to let you know I got a nine in both English Lit and Lang (with full marks on Literature paper 1!). I also wanted to say thank you for being an amazing teacher for three years and I really couldn't have done it without your help and feedback!”
