Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

With over two decades of teaching experience in Nottingham, Derby, and Cairo, I’ve worked with students of all abilities—those needing extra support and those aiming for top grades. As a former AQA examiner and IB certified practitioner, I help students refine their essay writing, analytical thinking, and exam techniques, guiding them to achieve outstanding results across GCSE, A Level, and IB assessments.

Tutoring Approach

My approach prioritises both academic progress and student wellbeing. I tailor lessons to individual needs, ensuring a supportive environment that builds confidence and passion for English. By bringing literature to life through creative, engaging content, I inspire curiosity and self-expression. My focus on clarity, structure, and critical thinking empowers students to reach their full potential and enjoy learning along the way.
