Natalie

I am a fully-qualified English teacher with a BA in English Literature from Lancaster University and an MA in Gothic Literature from Manchester Metropolitan University. I am a Fellow of The Chartered College of Teaching, a great accolade for any teacher. As a full time tutor now, I keep my knowledge current by investing in my studies which, in turn, is of great benefit to the pupil.

I teach both Literature and Language, from KS2 up to and including A level and beyond. I also offer grammar school entrance examination coaching for all schools. I offer coaching for SATs and KS3 school entrance examinations. I can also help support non English natives with their oral and written skills.

I have tutored a hundreds of pupils previously, all with excellent results. I have worked on Tutorhunt for over 15 years. I have worked as an examiner at GCSE level and A level for the last few years, for a wide range of examination boards too, giving me key experience and insight into the exams.

I am available via this platform but can be found elsewhere too. Off platform, I offer a block booking discount - the more you book, the cheaper the rate, if paid upfront.

I have a considerable portfolio of positive feedback and references are available on request. Any queries? Please get in contact.

Natalie is a great, outstanding tutor. She has significantly helped me improve my English over 4 months of tutoring. My grade in English language had increased to a 7 (A) and my grade in English Literature had increased to an 8 (A+). This is due to Natalie’s help with her teaching which tailors to the students need. I previously struggled greatly with English language- Natalie had helped with several things such as vocabulary, sentence structure and punctuation- significantly boosting my grade higher. Natalie taught me all these things in an easy way - Thanks, Natalie, for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your help and support with our daughter. She hated English but you turned that around and she came out with a grade 6 which she is delighted with.

Natalie really helped our boy go from strength to strength. He came to Natalie in Year 9 on a grade 3/4 and left with a grade 7. We are over the moon. Taslim, 2019.

We are overjoyed with our son`s result. Natalie did everything she could to help our boy achieve the very best. We owe her a great deal and thank her so much for the time she invested in our boy. He achieved a grade 9/8 in Literature and Language and we are so very proud. Rubina, 2019.

Natalie has been absolutely fantastic and cannot recommend her enough. As a panic from my son about his confidence and understanding I was given Natalie`s number as someone who could possibly help. From the first meeting Natalie made my son feel at ease and gave him confidence she could `work with him to get the best from him`. Natalie asked to see some of his work due to the short time scale she had to help him and he was given `homework` to see what he could do They worked on both English language and literature and soon my son was staring to enjoy English. She pulled out all the stops for him sending emails and tips and ways for him to understand the subjects. It is very clear when you meet Natalie how passionate she is about English and is very approachable to both student and parent (especially panic stricken parents, Thanks Natalie) She knows about both the curriculum and the exam boards and coaches you through to get the best grades
His predicted GCSE results were 4/5 in English Literature and 5 in English language (-C/C and C).
He obtained a C in literature and B in English Language, but after speaking to Natalie i got the English language checked as he had done so well in one of the particular areas and was completely overjoyed when he was told he had got a 7 . An actual A in English Language fantastic overjoyed speechless, so so proud. Was more than happy with the B but as he hopes to go to Uni the more A s the better. Shirley, 2018.

A Level English Language/Literature 2017 - A - "Throughout my time with Natalie, from GCSE to A level, Natalie provided me with a reliable and comfortable teaching environment. During this period of time I was able to go to Natalie with anything that I was struggling with and she would help me tackle the problem in a simple yet thorough way. Natalie`s teaching style, reliability, and use of resources ensured that I was able to reach my full potential and also meant that she pushed me to achieve the best that I could. I would definitely recommend Natalie to anybody looking for a tutor." Quirat, 18 :)

AS English Language 2016 - B - "I`m over the moon with my grade - thank you so much` - Quirat, 17.

-Natalie is a professional, capable and very likeable tutor who I would highly recommend. Shaheen, Blackburn.
