Experienced London Head of Year and PGCE English Teacher Helping GCSE Students Secure Grade 4 and Above in English Language and Literature

MJ is a hardworking tutor who is dedicated to his job. He really helped me and I would highly recommend!

I got to know MJ when he began tutoring my son in year 10, who was preparing for his GCSE English Literature and Language exams. At the time, my son was struggling and had very little confidence in the subject, so we were looking for someone who could both support his learning and encourage him.

What I appreciated most about MJ’s teaching style was his patience. He explained concepts in a way that was easy to understand and always took the time to make sure my son fully understand the material before moving on. MJ was also very flexible and happy to adapt his approach depending on what my son needed most in each session.

Over the course of the tutoring, I saw my son’s confidence steadily improve. One thing that stood out was how MJ would adjust the lessons to focus on the areas my son found most difficult, breaking things down step by step until they became manageable.

Thanks to MJ’s support, my son successfully achieved 7’s in both his GCSE English Literature and Language exams, I would highly recommend MJ to any parent looking for a patient, supportive, and effective tutor who genuinely wants to help students succeed.

MJ has been an incredible tutor for my son during his Year 11 GCSE preparation. When my son first started working with him, he was really struggling with English and was consistently on the 3/4 borderline his assessments. MJ quickly built his confidence and helped him understand how to approach the exam questions.

Through MJ’s clear explanations, structured lessons and patient support, my son’s understanding improved dramatically. He now feels much more confident analysing texts and structuring his responses. He is now consistently achieving Grade 7s in past papers.

MJ is supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English GCSE results and confidence.
