Our Approach to English Tutoring

We believe that every student learns best when lessons are tailored to their individual needs and goals. Our approach to English tutoring is centred on providing personalised, one-to-one support that fosters a love for the subject while improving core skills in reading, writing, and comprehension. 

Our tutors begin by conducting a careful and considerate assessment of your child’s strengths and areas for improvement. This helps us understand their current level and which areas require more focus. Next, we develop a tailored learning plan that aligns with your child’s school curriculum, exam requirements, and personal goals. This ensures that every lesson is relevant and effective. 

Our English tutors use a variety of interactive techniques to keep lessons engaging, fun and productive – whether it’s through stimulating discussions, creative writing exercises, or close reading of literary texts. We regularly track your child’s progress to ensure they are advancing towards their goals. Our tutors write a detailed lesson report after each session, keeping you informed and ensuring your child stays on track. 

For students preparing for school entrance exams (including 7+, 11+ and 13+) or public exams such as GCSEs or A Levels, our tutors know exactly what the examiners are looking for. With specialised exam preparation, they will boost your child’s confidence and performance in important assessments.

Does My Child Need a Tutor for English?

English is a fascinating subject and the linguistic and analytical skills it teaches are vital for your child’s academic and professional prospects. But many children, no matter what their age and level, struggle with the English curriculum. Falling behind in class or receiving lower grades in English may be a sign that additional help is required to keep up with the syllabus. 

If your child is preparing for entrance exams such as the 7+, 11+, or 13+, expert tutoring can be invaluable. The leading schools are looking for children with an excellent grounding in reading and writing. Our specialised English tutors are experienced in preparing students for these key assessments – and what’s more, they have experience of helping children secure places, so they know what the schools are looking for. 

For students preparing for public exams like GCSEs or A Levels, tutoring doesn’t just improve your child’s understanding of the syllabus. A good tutor will offer essential guidance on exam techniques, reducing anxiety and boosting performance. That coveted grade 9 or A* is within reach! 

If your child is busy with extracurricular activities or has limited time for revision, tutoring sessions can help maximise study time with efficient, focused lessons. Even if your child is excelling in English, tutoring can provide enrichment opportunities beyond the standard curriculum, introducing more advanced reading and writing skills.
