Martin

I am a former university lecturer with a deep-rooted passion for English language and literature, now offering tailored tuition for secondary school and GCSE students. Drawing on years of academic and teaching experience, I provide focused, one-to-one support designed to build confidence, improve skills, and achieve strong results.

Whether your child is aiming for high grades, struggling with essay structure, or seeking support in literary analysis, I bring a calm, patient, and engaging approach that meets each learner where they are. Lessons are thoughtfully structured around the national curriculum, with emphasis on comprehension, grammar, critical thinking, and effective exam preparation.

Tutoring Experience

I have quite a few years teaching as a tutor and as a university guest lecturer.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is interactive, enthusiastic, and deeply student-centred. I believe that learning is most effective when it’s engaging, relevant, and enjoyable; for that reason, I tailor each lesson to the individual learner, drawing on their interests and strengths to bring the subject to life.

Through thoughtful questioning, open discussion, and carefully chosen texts, I encourage active participation and critical thinking. My passion for English is evident in every session, and I aim to inspire that same enthusiasm in my students—helping them to see literature and language not just as academic subjects, but as powerful tools for understanding the world.

Whether we’re exploring a Shakespearean soliloquy or fine-tuning persuasive writing, my goal is to make every lesson dynamic, supportive, and rewarding. Students leave sessions not only with improved skills, but with greater confidence and curiosity.
