High-quality Esher English Tutors

I have spent the past decade teaching English at a number of state and independent secondary schools. I have experience at all levels of English teaching, with a long history of success at 11+ and 13+. I have previously been Head of Year 9 and am currently the teacher in charge of the Edexcel iGCSE English Language and Literature curriculum in my current post. Over the last five years, my GCSE and iGCSE classes have achieved an average of 90% grades 9-7. I am driven to help students build confidence in my students, empowering them to realise their potential and as part of my current role as Head of Academic Projects at a high-achieving London independent school, I am involved in several research projects aimed at developing an approach to teaching that fosters independent learning. My goal is to inspire my students and tutees to develop a self-motivated love of learning. It’s a joy to watch them grow into self-confident, passionate English students who are driven to achieve.

Qualified and experienced Psychology graduate and teacher currently working as the Head of Psychology at a large comprehensive school. I have been leading the department for 5 years and every year, A level results have improved significantly. I have experience in successfully improving grades for borderline students (D/C and B/A). I have also helped a number of students achieve the A* grades they were striving towards (within my own classes and through private tutoring). My aim as a teacher and tutor is to increase students' confidence in the subject and help them to develop the key skills they need to be successful in their final exams. In addition to the above, I also hope to inspire and motivate my students through my passion for Psychology and love for teaching and learning.

I’m an experienced, caring and reflective practitioner with a strong history of raising GCSE attainment in a short space of time. I’ve been teaching English Literature and Language in both state and private schools, over the last 12 years. I’ve also taught GCSE Media and A Level Literature, along with a few years of teaching KS2 English (along with a few other Humanities based subjects). I’ve also taught Dance and Drama at Key Stage 3, I’m a qualified journalist and I’ve been Key Stage 3 English Lead on three occasions in my career! I write for pleasure still, and of course actively read for pleasure! Currently I’m reading Bill Bryson’s ‘The Body’ as I love his journalistic style, having just finished ‘Notes from a Small Island’. I possess strong experience of teaching to most exam boards - WJEC, IGCSE (I’m an accredited moderator), AQA and some Edexcel (though not Literature). I’ve privately tutored throughout my career, Year 7 to GCSE students - mainly Y10s and Y11s with achieved grades double than predicted.

I am a qualified Primary teacher with over 13 years experience in accelerating progress for primary-aged pupils. Recently I have left the classroom to be a lecturer in PGCE (teacher training) in an inner London university. I have a proven track record of achieving targeted accelerated progress and pride myself in my relationship with pupils and being able to deliver lessons in an engaging way. Having taught across all primary phases from Early Years through to Upper Key Stage 2, and through my work as Curriculum Leader and Science Leader, I have a strong knowledge of age-related expectations for pupils aged 5 to 11. Lessons are completely tailored to individual needs, with a focus on targeted progress in areas of your choosing. I look forward to working with you to help your child reach their maximum potential. I was educated both in the state and private school system and can understand and cater to a wide range of needs including 11+ and entrance exams. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am an experienced Head of English with over 26 years of English Language and Literature teaching and tutoring experience and I have also been an English Language GCSE examiner for AQA although I am also experienced in teaching other boards too. The age range I teach on a day to day basis is Years 5- 13 but I am also experienced in teaching transitional English literacy skills with Year 6 students pending their start at secondary school and additionally I tutor KS2 English, Maths, 11+, 12+ and 13+ exam entrance. I have experience in tutoring towards entrance exams for independent schools. I have worked with a huge range of student groups over the years ranging from SEN students right the way through to setting up the gifted and talented register at another local secondary school and running that as a whole school incentive as well as within the English Department. I am currently working with a number of students with ASD and PDA and students who are out of school long term or permanently.
