Oxford-trained, First Class, teacher. 15 yrs’ success boosting GCSE, IGCSE, KS3 grades. WATCH VIDEO BELOW.

Stephen is simply amazing! His patience and dedication to helping me improve my writing skills have truly made a difference in my understanding and confidence. With his guidance, I was able to transform from a C student to achieving an A* in my English Literature exam. I am grateful for his guidance and support, and I am so lucky to have such a talented tutor by my side. Thank you for all that you do!

I had the pleasure of being taught by Stephen for IGCSE English Language and Literature for about 2 years. Through his superb teaching style, I managed to achieve both 9’s in English Language and Literature - and now because of this I’m able to apply to medical school with ease knowing that I have exceeded all the English Language and Literature criteria. Personally, I found that Stephen has a unique ability of breaking down those complex ideas into more manageable pieces which made a very engaging learning enviroment; something that was crucial to me being able to develop and think from different perspectives. I highly recommend Stephen if you’re somebody that wants to aim for the best of the best whilst also enjoying learning!

I’m in year 7 and Stephen has taught me and my older brother for a few years now. I’ve learnt how planning can really help create amazingly descriptive stories and now we’re even doing extracts from the GCSE anthology which is for much older kids. So I’m already learning how to analyse before anyone in my class!

Hi! My name is Adam and I'm in Year 10. Stephen has been teaching me for 5-6 years and has helped immensely in English. I went from getting 4 and 5's in English to getting 9's in my GCSE's (not just English!) He's very easy to talk to and helps with not just English but helped me with studying, revising and getting into a routine!

I can’t believe Stephen’s taught me since I was a tiny Year 5! As I write this, I’m a few weeks away from my GCSEs in Year 11. In that time, he’s helped me to organise all of my studies (not just English) creating a schedule that’s helped me to get good grades but also makes sure I have enough time for me. He has always believed in me, even when a school test went wrong. He explains things really well, and if I don’t get it, he finds other ways to say it. He’s fun, makes jokes (sometimes funny ones) and is very easy to get on with!

As a student of English language and literature, I’ve found that it has improved a lot since we’ve been covering poetry and analysis. Stephen has been a great teacher especially when explaining concepts and texts. All my three brothers smashed their exams with grades 8s and 9s due to his classes. I feel super comfortable asking questions and feel more motivation/interest in English language and literature.

As both my younger brother and myself quickly found out, Stephen uses different methods with each student. The all-round knowledge and even the commercial awareness he has (which is vital to my legal degree) is also very impressive. With knowledge of history and current affairs in today’s society, Stephen provides an in-depth breadth of knowledge to his students.

Stephen always teaches me in much more detail than we cover in class. He makes me feel capable enough to tackle difficult work and I’m enjoying English much more at school because we have already done the work in the tutoring classes. Writing analysis can be confusing but Stephen’s got a really clever way that uses colors to help me work out exactly what needs to go into my essays to help me reach a high grade.

The approach that Stephen used was very different to the teachers that I’ve had in the past. He actually teaches us how to think about things. As a result of this I have finally passed English on my third attempt. His knowledge of the subject is unbelievable which is another reason why I passed my English exam. (not only passed but got a very good grade!)

I’m one of Stephen’s current Grade 11 students. Since Year 7, Stephen has been a fun tutor for both me and my brother, (and even my older sister). He always has a special way of breaking down tough ideas like analysis in a system which helps a lot. He is also the reason why I have managed to get better at English

I’m one of Stephen’s current Grade 11 students. Since Year 7, Stephen has been a fun tutor for both me and my brother, (and even my older sister). He always has a special way of breaking down tough ideas like analysis in a system which helps a lot. I have siginifcalty improved ever since working with him from average grades to high grades.

Stephen's tutoring technique allows me to memorize more efficiently. His effect on my English grades is huge. He is amazing with anthology and helps me understand everything there is to know. His analyzing skills get me grades I never thought I could get. Overall his teaching is something that could help anybody in English.
