Matthew

I am a highly experienced tutor with a proven track record of guiding students towards top UK schools, state and public. I teach English and humanities, 7+ to A Level. I specialise in 11+, ISEB, and school entry exams. Online and in person.

With over 1000 hours of experience across several top agencies, I know exactly how to tailor my sharp, dynamic teaching style to the individual needs of the student.

A tutor is only as good as their personality. I know how to build rapport with my students, growing their confidence and deepening their knowledge of the subject and examination. Whether it’s last minute or long term, I get results.

I`m a mentor too, with a lot of experience guiding neuro-divergent students towards success. I care for the well-being of my students, making sure they feel good, healthy, and positive about life and learning.

When I`m not teaching, I`m filmmaking. The skills required of a great tutor - clarity, perceptiveness, and authority - are the same as those required of a successful writer-director.
