Hey!
I'm Tom, a Master’s graduate with a background in both Theatre and English Literature. As my chosen subjects suggest, I have a passion for words in all their forms - from Shakespeare to Shelley, Wordsworth to Wilde. If it’s poetry or prose, I’m your guy for help.
In my classroom, you, the student are truly in charge and always free to guide the session in a way that suits you. Whether you need help untangling the Bard’s rich language and verse or want to dive into the philosophical ideas behind writers like Stevenson, Woolf, and Baldwin, we’ll find a path that works for you.
My hope is that we not only practice close textual analysis and past exam papers but also enjoy rich conversations and great debates - because that’s how ideas come to life.
So, come join me in class and let’s talk and study together!

This is our first chance to get to know each other, so please ask as many questions as you like!
Our Sessions
It is my firm belief that education is most effective when it is led by the student - No one knows what they need and how they learn better than themselves! With this is in mind, our first session will often focus on your learning style and what content you would like to cover. Using this information, I am able to tailor our lessons to each student, delivering high quality and targeted tutoring.
Initial Free Consultation
Finding the right tutor makes all the difference! That’s why I offer a free 15-minute chat to get to know each other before you book. I’ll learn about your learning style and goals, and you can see how I teach and ask any questions you like.
Subject Expertise
My strong academic background in Drama and English Literature, Philosophy, Gender, and Cultural Studies gives me a deep understanding of the syllabus from multiple angles. This means I can offer expert guidance, drawing on a rich mix of knowledge, analysis skills and passion!
Tailored 1-1 Tuition
With one-to-one tutoring, it’s all about you. I can tailor each session to your pace, your goals, and the way you learn best. This means we can focus on exactly what you need, build your confidence, and help you make real, noticeable progress.
Essay Skills and Exam Practice
I’ll help you sharpen your essay style and get exam-ready by working straight from the mark schemes - so you know exactly what examiners want. We’ll practise real questions, break down top answers, and fine-tune your writing. With regular, clear feedback, you’ll see your progress and know exactly how to improve.
Online Format
Online tutoring is flexible, convenient, and fits easily into busy schedules - no travel needed! With interactive tools like virtual whiteboards, shared documents, and instant feedback, learning stays engaging and effective.
Regular Parent Feedback
After each session, I send clear, helpful reports to your parents so they know exactly what we’ve covered. This way, they can keep track of your progress and support you along the way. Having them in the loop means extra encouragement at home, making it easier for you to stay motivated and keep improving!
My Tutoring Journey
I first began tutoring while studying for my Master’s - originally just as a way to help pay the bills - but I quickly realised it was something I wanted to keep doing. Now, more than six years later, I’m proud to say I still love it just as much. Whether we’re conjugating verbs or exploring the symbolism of the green light in The Great Gatsby, supporting students as they learn and grow remains the most rewarding part of my work.
While I specialise in GCSE and A Level English, I’ve worked with learners from all backgrounds and abilities - from helping Portuguese student António decipher Shakespeare as a second language, to supporting Will through his GCSE resits after his recent ADHD diagnosis, to refreshing Becky, a trainee teacher brushing up on the syllabus. These experiences have given me not only knowledge and expertise, but also the versatility to support every learner’s needs, including those with SEND.
