Information about Matthew
I am a highly qualified and experienced English teacher, having taught all abilities in English Language and Literature in secondary schools for twelve years. Passionate about literature, I have plenty of experience in raising the achievement of students whose confidence and enjoyment in English is lacking. My teaching skills have been added to by a two-year stretch as Head of Department, developing the curriculum, and trying to find ways to help all students succeed, according to their own abilities. My usual method of working is to arrange a diagnostic session with the student, ranging widely over the skills and knowledge relevant to the subject, and, on this basis, to recommend a series of sessions aimed at raising levels of engagement and enthusiasm in the subject.
I am familiar with all exam boards, and communicate clearly the strategies necessary to succeed in GCSE or A levels. If you would like to, you can arrange a diagnostic session, for which there is no charge.
Availability: Mainly weekdays 4-8pm, but I will try and be flexible where possible.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have been a classroom teacher in Surrey secondary schools for twelve years. I have professional qualifications teaching and in school leadership, with experience of running a large department. I am fully CRB checked.
DBS Check: Yes

Matthew is an extraordinary teacher, blending his passion for the subject with remarkable patience, making each lesson a delight. Our daughter, who is not a native English speaker, attained top marks in her English Language GCSEs under his expert guidance. We simply cannot recommend him enough!

Matthew worked tirelessly with our daughter in the year leading up to her GCSEs. He was an inspiration to her - always patient, kind and very knowledgeable about his subject matter and exam techniques. Our daughter went up three grades in her final English Language and Literature exams, achieving amazing results with thanks to Matthew’s help and guidance. We highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a skilful and experienced English tutor.

The support Matthew has given my daughter with her GCSE English work has been invaluable. He has set the work at exactly the right level to develop her confidence and move her on in her learning. His planning for the next session reflects both what he has assessed in the previous lesson and the feedback myself and my daughter give him. We have only had a few sessions so far, but we are already seeing a difference in our daughter`s ability and willingness to tackle a GCSE English question.
