Your Questions, Answered

Work and feedback can be shared securely through Google Drive or by email, depending on what is simplest for the family.

Not currently, but if it is something you would be interested in, please get in touch and if there is enough interest, I will set up a group. For now, look at the first of my GCSE Ready course starting on November 2nd for 6 weeks, or one to one sessions which run all through the holidays.

Students aged 11 to 18. Creative Reading & Writing is for home-educated students aged roughly 11 to 14, and Get GCSE Ready is for students in Years 10 and 11. Ages are a guide rather than a rule, so if you are unsure where your child fits, just get in touch.

No! All daytime cohorts and evening masterclasses are pre-scheduled on my timetable. You simply enrol your child directly on an available seat in an upcoming course.

For one-to-one lessons, you can pay weekly by bank transfer before each lesson, or for the half term in advance. For six-week courses, you pay £25 for the first session and the balance before week two. Half-term intensives are paid in full on booking. I will send bank details when you book.

The Get Ready for GCSE courses are aimed at students studying for the AQA examinations. For other exam boards, please look at one-to-one lessons.

Online groups run live on Google Meet through Google Classroom, with up to eight students (five for Get GCSE Ready: Language). Sessions are structured but relaxed: students discuss texts together, write their own work and get feedback. Face-to-face groups in OX13 have up to five students.

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.

Because group spaces are strictly limited, fees for missed sessions are non-refundable. However, your child will receive the complete recorded session, slide deck, worked exemplars, and workbook tasks so they don't fall behind.

Daytime one-to-one lessons are £45. Evening one-to-one lessons are £55 an hour, and paired lessons are £35 per student per hour. Six-week group courses are £150 per student, with £100 for a second child from the same family.

Yes. Creative Reading & Writing runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings face-to-face in OX13. Bespoke one-to-one lessons are available during the day
