I get a real kick out of helping students achieve great results.  My approach is pragmatic and goal-oriented.

I know that pressure can damage as well as improve performance, so I am always looking for ways for students to build on their strengths and develop confidence as well as a practical attitude to their exams to reduce the stress. 

The ability to express themselves well in written English is vital to every subject that the students study, not just for the English GCSEs.  English Literature, particularly at A level, benefits from a broad cultural knowledge of history, classical mythology and genre development over time which students, understandably, don’t have.  I can give them enough to increase their enjoyment of the subject as well improving performance.
