Information about Thomas

I have been an English teacher for the last seven years, and am currently employed at a local secondary school. I co-ordinate the Key Stage Three English course in addition to my teaching role.

I am a Plymouth local, attending one of the grammar schools in the city before moving away to Essex where I taught English and Media Studies in two mixed comprehensive schools.

I specialise in GCSE literature qualifications, but also have a wealth of experience in teaching GCSE language and KS3 English.

Previously I have acted as whole-school literacy co-ordinator for a large secondary school, so more specialist tutoring in spelling, grammar or punctuation is also available.

Availability: Available from 5PM - 8PM weekdays

9-12 Saturdays

Unavailable Sundays

During school holidays, a more flexible schedule can be arranged - please get in touch for more details.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: 2:1 in English from University of Plymouth

PGCSE English from Marjon University

Five years teaching at academies in Essex (11-16) teaching KS3 English and GCSE English (literature and language) for AQA and Cambridge exam boards.

Previously Head of Media Studies, teaching AQA exam board at GCSE level.

Currently working as English teacher and KS3 co-ordinator in a local 11-18 school.

Tom was engaged to help our son to push up his grades in English as we approached the GCSEs. Our son had been let down, we feel, by the school by not having a consistent level of teaching due to teacher absence. Tom made a strong bond with our son and helped him to regain his confidence in the subject and we feel that he is now heading towards a good grade in the exams.

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, Debbie :)

I hope you`re holding up!

Highly recommend Tom.
He made a huge difference to ours sons confidence in English Language and Literature. He established a really nice relationship and made the study enjoyable - the key to getting the best out of a teenage boy, Resulted in higher exam grades than any of us hoped or expected in both exams. No hesitation in recommending Tom.

Thomas has seen my son twice so far and has arrived early, in good humour, and used a range of techniques, including analysing film, to engage my son and enable him to learn how to approach GSCE English Literature and Language work and questions. My son has really enjoyed the tutorials and says that he has already found working in lessons easier and questions less daunting. Thank you!

Tom is a really good tutor who is helping my son prepare for his GCSE English exams this summer. He is reliable, punctual and pleasant and seems to be doing a great job of motivating my revision-shy teenager!
