Yes, absolutely. I offer focused GCSE English preparation as part of my 1:1 provision. Exam technique — how to structure a response, deploy evidence effectively and meet the mark scheme's demands — is a significant part of what determines results at GCSE, and I teach it directly and thoroughly. What I bring alongside that is 25 years of experience helping students genuinely engage with what they're writing about. The two reinforce each other: students who understand their texts and have something to say tend to find exam technique clicks faster and sticks better. £55 per session.

Small groups of up to six students, via video call. Sessions are discussion-based and are structured but not formal. Students share ideas, respond to texts together and produce their own work between sessions. The small size means everyone contributes and everyone is heard.

This is something I have a great deal of experience with, both as a teacher and as a parent. Sessions are calm, unrushed and completely adapted to the individual student. Many of the students I work with find that English, approached from a place of genuine curiosity rather than exam pressure, becomes a subject where they surprise themselves.
