Information about David
I have a relaxed, fluid approach to teaching and learning, building confidence and a sense of progression within students by tailoring lessons to individual needs.
Availability: Evenings and weekends
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: Over 20 years as an English teacher, including 12 as Head of English in a successful secondary school.
As a classroom teacher, judged Outstanding by Ofsted, I have a long record of success with a range of abilities, particularly in exam performance. My GCSE Language and Literature mixed ability classes consistently achieve 90 to 100% A*-C, while my A level English Literature students regularly attain results well in excess of their ALPs targets. I have a confident understanding of a range of exam boards and several years experience as a moderator with AQA.
Alongside responding to requests from parents to tutor students, as Head of English I have enjoyed developing and teaching a formal initiative of One-to-One tutoring. Iâve also tutored a Gifted and Talented group outside school hours, many of who have been inspired to continue their study of English at A level.

My son was in year 11 when he started his lessons with David, he felt he wasnt getting sufficient support from his school teacher so needed help with his GCSE. Thanks to David he has achieved an excellent grade in his English Language...he was predicted a 4 but with Davids help managed to pass with a level 7. David definitely helped to prepare him for the exam & with exam technique.
Thank you so much.

I quite liked David`s style of teaching. He encourages students to think in the right way when preparing for the writing. This is assisted by organisation of thoughts, planning and then choosing the right words to match the context. I am sure son`s grade will improve in GCSE English with his help by methodical styles of teaching. On behaviour side, he is a soft speaker, explains things well, always on time or before time and sometimes spend extra time to complete the topic.

Our daughter found the sessions with David very productive. She found his tips and advice in creative writing of particular benefit in her GCSE English Language. He worked with her for a few months and we are sure it helped her achieve a higher grade. We would strongly recommend David

David has been teaching our son for the last twelve Months in preparation for his GCSE`s. David has always been punctual and accommodating to our availability. He has a good knowledge of English and has built up a productive working relationship with our son. This has resulted in an improvement of two grades in our sons performance, better engagement and enjoyment of English.

I got in touch David last year to start tuition classes for my Elder son who is in year 7. Since then he started to teach my other two sons, in year 6 and year 2.
All 3 of them enjoy lessons with David and helped them to write very nice stories so far.
I found him to be very skilled, punctual and polite.

David has been teaching my sons English (one at GCSE level and the second KS2) for just over 6 months.
We have found him to be extremely punctual, polite and helpful.
Both boys enjoy their lessons and this is reflected in their results at school.
I would recommend David to any parent.
