Henry

I am a friendly, approachable Oxford graduate and Deputy Head of English in one of the nation`s leading grammar schools.

I am a passionate English tutor, and I always try to foster an enthusiasm for literature in all my students. When teaching, I aim to provide clear and concise explanation, assess understanding and provide detailed feedback and encouragement.

Education is not just for exams. I aim to build confidence, encourage independence, and inculcate positive habits which last for life.

I can offer:

- Tailored lesson plans to suit the learner’s needs.
- A comprehensive program for all main exam boards and literature texts.
- Verbal feedback during sessions and detailed written feedback on optional assignments.
- Lessons adapted for a range of abilities.
- Warmth, enthusiasm and (occasionally good) humour.

I am well versed in the most popular English Literature Exam texts and well acquainted with the Edexcel and AQA exam boards.

In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I organise the school’s debating team which has reached the finals of the English-Speaking Union`s Public Speaking Competition.

My students typically go on to achieve the top grades in their GCSEs and A Levels.

Availability: I am available for online lessons after 6pm every week day and at any time at the weekends.
