"No is the second shortest word in the English language ... but one of the hardest to say."– Raymond Arroyo

Whether it is in getting to grips with the basic skills of reading or writing at Primary School, or in analysing the themes behind Chaucer's Middle English poetry, we can provide a professional English Tutor who can help you. 

The benefits of Primary, GCSE, IGCSE and A level English tuition:

1. Your English Tutor has the opportunity to focus on the specific subjects and areas that your child may be struggling with. At school, a teacher can only give limited individual attention to each student, as there is limited classroom time available and the requirement for the teacher to meet the needs of the whole teaching group.

2. There are fewer distractions in a home setting, with little noise or distractions from classmates, which can often impact on your child's concentration and performance. 

3. Your English Tutor will quickly gauge the current achievement, future potential and learning style of your child and will be able to adapt their teaching to this to bring the greatest benefit.

4. Your English Tutor can provide academic challenge for your child, if they do not find this at their school. This can enthuse and invigorate learning and enjoyment for a particular subject, which can infect other areas of their school life.

5. Your English Tutor can offer academic support to your child, if they have missed out on some of their learning, whether through illness, absence, a lack of understanding at school ... or a lack of effort. A short, direct and intensive course of lessons can have a profound impact on your child's performance and confidence.

6. Your English Tutor can help develop your child's confidence in a subject. The more confident a child feels with their schoolwork, the more they are able to develop and progress their skills and knowledge.

7. Your English Tutor can help your child develop the right exam technique, so that they are able to perform to their full potential in an exam situation. Often children to need a lot of practice doing trial exam papers, with a tutor alongside helping them to be precise and concise, to spot the traps that are set, to organise their timings, ...

8. If your child is shy then often they will not ask questions in the classroom. In a one-on-one teaching, your child will feel more able to ask questions when they are unsure of a concept.

9. If your child is struggling with homework from school, the tutor can provide support to help them with this. If your child is not receiving enough homework from school to consolidate their learning, the tutor can provide this.

10. Regular lessons with a English tutor will help a disorganised child begin to focus on their work, with the responsibility that they will have to be ready for the next lesson. Once momentum builds, your child will begin to feel less anxious and more enjoyment, as they begin to sense that they are making progress.

A little more about Brighton

Brighton started as a village back in the 5^th Century when the Saxons established the Kingdom of Sussex. Over the next few hundred years it was inhabited by Fishermen and Farmers and developed into a small town. It was given charter status in the 14^th Century and thrived with weekly fish and food markets as well as an annual fair which brought in people from the wider surrounding areas. In Tudor times, it was burnt down by the French, but was rebuilt and successfully saw off further French attacks, although in later years French Naval Ships managed to bring about the decline of the fishing industry. The 1700s saw the decline of the town, brought about in part by sea erosion and damage caused by two great storms. Belief in the restorative powers of seawater, boosted by the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1783 saw a revival in Brighton’s fortunes. The Grammar School, Assembly Rooms, a covered market and the Brighton Pavilion, were symbolic of the newly found prosperity. The economy also diversified from fishing, with small scale foundries being set up, using coal that was being imported by sea from Newcastle. The rise of fashionable tourism also saw a rapid increase in the number of hotels, lodges and boarding houses, jewellery sellers and fashion houses. Brewing also became a local speciality. The following Century saw many new houses built, steam ship ferries and the London to Brighton Railway, The Hospital, Museum, Library and Aquarium all being opened and the two Piers being built. The twentieth century saw large scale regeneration of the sometimes squalid inner city, the cinema opening boating pool and sea front walkway completed. along with the introduction of the Bus and Tram Services. In the year 2000 Brighton and Hove was made a city and today is a flourishing sea-side town, visited by millions every year drawn by the shopping, festivals, arts scene and nightlife. Brighton has never been a major industrial town but as well as tourism the financial sector, retail, the booming conference and exhibition trade and the nearby Gatwick Airport all play a significant role.

The University of Sussex was opened in 1961 and along with the University of Brighton formed the Brighton and Sussex Medical School in 2003.

Our teachers come from the local schools in and around Brighton; from Primary, Junior and Secondary Schools; from across the State, Academy, Grammar and Independent School Sectors;including the Independent Roedean School and Brighton College, as well as the state run Varndean College and Longhill High School.
