With decades of teaching experience and as a current examiner, I specialise in online tuition for GCSE and IGCSE English Language and Literature
If you’d like to help your teen excel in GCSE or IGCSE English Language or Literature, I’d love to discuss how I can support their journey to success
“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.”
Online tuition has revolutionised learning, saving time and enabling seamless continuity of work. Used intentionally, it offers a flexible, effective alternative to face-to-face sessions for most students
My teaching methods are tailored to each student, drawing on extensive experience with highly-driven teens, those needing motivation or confidence boosts, and students with specific learning needs such as ASD, ADHD, and dyslexia
Learning happens when students feel good about themselves. I prioritise building self-esteem, helping underconfident students not only achieve higher grades but also realise their true potential
