Experienced English teacher in GCSE, A-Level, IB and EFL courses. Can tailor lessons to your needs. Excellent track record of improving student outcomes. Lessons are engaging and fun!

I had Mr Proudfoot as my teacher in yr 10-11. He was my first teacher since I transferred schools and he made me feel very welcomed. He’s always happy to help, gives constructive criticism, and always makes the class fun and engaging. Even when I wasn’t in his class anymore he was happy to help with things.
He’s a very kind person.
Would recommend :)

I had Andy as a teacher for my last two years of high school, and I can confidently say that those English classes taught me essay and English skills that I've used and valued every day since, especially at uni.

I don't think I've met someone who lights up so much when teaching a class, and that passion is absolutely contagious. Thank you Mr Proudfoot!

Andrew has been one of the best teachers I have ever had. Not only has he helped improve my grades and turned my hatred of English into a more mellow dislike, but I felt he actually cared for his students. He always had a positive attitude and had time for jokes, while still teaching us all the content we needed. I’ve never liked English, but I’ve always liked being in his class. 10/10 teaching. Thank you Andy, I will never forget you.

Andrews Proudfoot is a generational teacher. He has really uplifted my English skills and was such an important teacher for my journey through English as a subject.

He’s my English teacher for IB and I love his teaching style. He is always engaging and fun! He always makes classes enjoyable and helpful.

I know Mr Proudfoot as my English teacher during my GCSE course, and he’s genuinely one of the best teachers I’ve had. He’s the kind of tutor who is patient, clear, and really knows how to make lessons engaging and easy to understand. I remember his lessons always helped build my confidence, even with more difficult topics. I’d definitely recommend him to tutor others because he truly cares about his students and makes a big difference in how well you learn.

Mr Proudfoot was my IB English Language and Literature teacher for a year, but I knew him in his teaching position throughout my GCSEs. He is excellent at his job and his lessons were always engaging, above and beyond the syllabus or pieces of literature we were studying. I can recommend him wholeheartedly as through his efforts we always felt that he cared deeply not only about our English education but also about us as people. It is impossible to be taught by Mr Proudfoot without also feeling like you have a friend. I wish him all the best

I met Andy as my English Language and Literature teacher during the IB Diploma, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding educator. He brings a fun and memorable approach to learning, making lessons engaging and enjoyable while still highly effective. What sets Andy apart is how he connects with his students beyond the classroom, creating a comfortable and supportive environment where everyone feels at ease to participate and improve.

Outside of lessons, we even played football together occasionally, which reflects how approachable and genuine he is as a person. He’s not only a great teacher but also someone who builds strong, positive relationships with his students.

I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a skilled, supportive, and engaging English tutor.

Andy was my English teacher for four years, and he is a fantastic teacher. He always manages to make lessons a blast while still helping you learn and improve at the same time. His posotive and engaging teaching style makes learning difficult topics feel much more manageable.

He’s also an amazing person who genuinely cares about his students and always takes the time to help whenever you need it. I’m really grateful for all the support he’s given me over the years, and I can honestly say he made a big difference in my progress and confidence in English.

I’d definitely recommend Andy to anyone looking for a great tutor.

I had the pleasure in studying under the teaching and guidance of Andrew Proudfoot for my final years of high school, I started off as a student with no motivation nor sufficient skills in English, however after 2 years with the enthusiasm and experience that Mr proudfoot brought to every lesson I grew more confident in myself not only as a English student but as a person as a whole, Andrew has a brilliant grasp on English teaching and of the IB curriculum that led me and many of my peers to achieve grades beyond what we had initially thought possible. Mr proudfoot is a teacher that leaves an impact on you, his methods of teaching are uniquely engaging where they force you to engage urself with literature due to his shared knowledge and skills.

Mr Proudfoot was my Sixth Form English Language and Literature Teacher. He always made English the most enjoyable lesson of the day through his good humour and dedication to the subject. He consistently provided in depth, personalised feedback with Mr P’s top tips. Importantly, he helps to break down quotations, themes, terminology and questions in a way that anyone can understand. I highly recommend Mr Proudfoot’s lessons due to the high class average scores that he produced while maintaining a fun learning environment. My own grades improved immensely with Mr Proudfoot’s support and inspirational teaching style. Thank you Mr P!

I had the pleasure of being taught by Mr Proudfoot for 2 years during my time studying ib language and literature. During that time, Mr Proudfoot made what was admittedly my least favourite subject into something I enjoyed, and looked forward to...even first thing in the morning. Mr Proudfoot provides a fun and equally insightful twist to his teaching and has taught english around the world, to both native and novice speakers. His genuine care for his students is always evident and his unique experiences are clearly illustrated in his adaptability for his student's needs, helping them in their individual weaknesses.
