Professional English Tutoring Ltd

I am a highly qualified teacher of English with 27 years' tutoring and teaching experience in a wide range of sectors. I ran the GCSE English provision in a busy FE college for 5 years, while also teaching both English Literature and Language and Literature A levels, and Access to Higher Education. I also taught Shakespeare and Linguistics in higher education for 5 years, and both undergraduate and masters level courses in Linguistics in several Midlands universities. I have been a busy full time private tutor since 2011.

I offer GCSE (Lang and Lit), A level English Literature, Language, and Lang. and Lit. (all boards), and undergraduate and masters level tutoring in a wide range of possible subject areas - please ask for details.

I have many years' experience as an A level examiner, now a principal examiner in Language and Literature A level for one of the large exam boards.

I have the highest academic standards, but am sensitive, supportive and encouraging. My aim is always to tailor teaching to the needs and ambitions of the individual student, catering for all ability levels. I have worked successfully with dyslexic students a number of times. Although exam grades are usually our key objective, in my experience it is the building of confidence that brings about the biggest transformations in the lives of my tutees.

Testimonials available (see website).

I teach in Stourbridge, (W.Midlands). Pupils normally come to me, as I find they tend to concentrate better out of their home environment, and I have all the resources available to support whatever arises in the lesson, however I may be able to travel to pupils' homes during less busy times (school hours).
