Not only have I been given the opportunity to tutor a subject I love, I have also been given the opportunity to share my passion of English with students who want to achieve the best exam results they possibly can. English has always been a subject I have taken to naturally, achieving A* in Literature A-Level, and Level 8 and 9 at GCSE. However, I have struggled in other subjects where I found it difficult to comprehend the information taught to me. Because of this, I have patience and empathy in teaching areas you may not be 100% assured in and I am able to adapt teaching styles to ensure I deliver information effectively to give the best learning experience possible. I can plan lessons according to what you feel you need to work on, ranging from homework tasks, knowing course content or exam technique. My preferred exam board to tutor GCSE and A Level is AQA. I have experience in tutoring Edexcel English Language GCSE. Sometimes the hardest thing in exams is knowing the answers but struggling to put ideas on paper for fear of it being incorrect. I aim to inspire confidence in everyone I tutor to ensure exam questions can be tackled with assurance and not apprehension. I am not just a tutor, I am a supporter who is rooting for you all the way and I have seen the benefits of a little encouragement going a long way. I am currently a final year Law student studying at the University of Manchester. Lower Level: English GCSE: English Literature, Language A-Level: English Literature I am currently a Law student at the University of Manchester looking to maintain and share my passion of English to students who want to achieve the best grades they possibly can. My goal is to motivate students to want to learn and be enthusiastic about their studies. I therefore make it my mission to make lessons as engaging as possible with students feeling a sense of achievement once the lesson has ended in the work they have done and the ideas they have offered.

By subjects
English tutoring to improve grades and self-confidence
Studying English at school includes technical aspects of the language such as grammar and vocabulary, and English literature focuses on text analysis and creative writing.
English-related skills such as reading and writing are vital throughout school, regardless of the subject matter. Learning how to communicate your thoughts clearly boosts self-confidence, improves vocabulary and leads to better exam results.
GoStudent English tutors offer one-to-one lessons tailored to your child’s needs, helping them understand where their weaknesses are in their written work and working with them to improve their writing style.
The advantages of studying English
English is an essential subject in the national curriculum. All students are required to pass English exams at primary school and English makes up one of the three core GCSE subjects in secondary school.
Studying for an English and Literature A-level or an undergraduate or master's degree can be hugely rewarding. Not only will you learn a great deal about the language, you will also be introduced to radically different ways of understanding and explaining the world.
An English degree can open the door to a wide range of career opportunities in fields such as teaching, editing, journalism and law. There is also a growing market for teaching English as a second language either at home or overseas, where the demand might be higher.
English tuition at primary school
English tuition at primary school is an excellent way to prepare for the future. Studying reading and writing helps with English language skills in general, and learning about different authors and their works may very well ignite a passion for reading in your child, laying the foundation for study at a higher level.
English exam preparation and English revision classes
GCSE exams are the qualifications students take at the age of 16. GCSE English provides a solid foundation for studying humanities courses at a higher level, and skills taught include writing essays, reading comprehension and text analysis.
If your child choose to continue to study English Language and Literature at A-level, it's extremely important for them to achieve a solid GCSE foundation.
English tutors can provide:
Working with an English tutor on a one-to-one basis boosts confidence and passion for the subject, too.
