About Me

Having been KS4 coordinator in two schools, I know the English GCSE and IGCSE exam boards inside out. I’ve taught on three continents, working with a wide range of students

Last year, in my mixed ability Literature GCSE class, more than 25% of students attained a grade 8 or 9. This is more than double the average of 12.1%

Testimonials

“Kate’s worked with one of my own children who has various complex needs…What she offers is years of knowledge and experience, but also a profound love of young people. She really champions them, and I think that connection she makes with young people is what complements her knowledge well.”

“I would recommend Kate without hesitation as a tutor. We have used her services for both our children. My son was really struggling with his GCSE Language and Literature, and Kate managed to boost his confidence and motivation. We went from worrying whether we would actually get him to sit the exams to him gaining a 7 and 6 respectively. A disaster averted! Our daughter is very different and needed a boost to hit the top grades in Literature A Level. She got an A and we were really happy for her. She can be a worrier, and Kate’s calm manner and clear experience with students at this level really helped her to see the wood for the trees. She’s now happily at uni.”

Kate tutored our daughter for English Language IGCSE when she wasn’t getting enough guidance from her school teacher. Kate helped her with detailed feedback on her tasks from school, key concepts and exam techniques. This enabled our daughter to get a top grade in a subject she had become worried about.

Kate worked with my daughter online during her GCSE studies. My daughter had been very unhappy in English lessons at school, was struggling with the set work in English literature and lacked confidence in answering exam-style questions. The sessions with Kate went really well they quickly built up rapport and I left them to it. I’m pleased to report that my daughter achieved a Grade 7 GCSE which stood her in good stead for A levels.
