Michael

I am a fully qualified outstanding English teacher and GCSE examiner with a Masters in Creative Writing.

Tutoring Experience

I take a positive and supportive approach to learning and it is not unusual for my tutees to make two or more levels progress in one academic year. My A level students exceed their target grade and attain their first choice university place. I have worked across all the major exam boards helping students excel in GCSEs, IGCSEs, A Levels and IB examinations. Furthermore, I have valuable experience as an AQA GCSE and IB Diploma examiner.

My specialism is English literature where I can draw upon a wide range of resources and expertise, particularly when helping students reach the top marks. I also have a strong record working with students that need a secure pass in their English language qualification.

Tutoring Approach

I equip students with tried and tested techniques for each question and ensure that these skills are successfully developed in time for the exam. To further my professional experience, I have conducted action research projects on academic writing skills that prove exceptionally useful when helping students with their essays.

I am very happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you.
