Hi - I’m Will.

Struggling with English can feel overwhelming; I know because I've been there myself.

When I first sat my AS English Literature exam, I got a D. It was a low point, and I considered giving up the subject altogether. But, with the help of an incredible teacher, and by mastering a few key techniques, I turned that D into an A. That success paved the way for me to study Literature at Oxford University, and I’ve since spent over 10 years helping students achieve top grades in English and humanities subjects.

Whether you’re aiming to boost your confidence or reach top marks, I believe that nailing essay technique is the key to success. My approach helps students write stronger essays, faster, and with far less stress. I’ll show you how to turn your writing into an asset that wins marks every time.

If you’re ready to stop struggling and start excelling, I’d love to help!

Tutoring Experience

I am a seasoned, professional tutor with over ten years' experience. In that time, I've helped over 150 students to raise their grades, and secure offers from their top choices for schools and universities.

In the past, I mostly worked via a different platform, which is where I built up most of my clientele and reviews before moving to FirstTutors for more flexibility. I'm happy to forward screenshots of the 70+ positive reviews I've received from past students.
