Friendly and experienced English & Media Studies Tutor (KS3–KS5) | Online Lessons | University Of Oxford PGCE | 25 Years’ Teaching and Tutoring Success

My son needed support for his GCSE English, so we reached out to Mark. He was a great tutor and my son really enjoyed the sessions. Mark was super organised, clear and detailed. He had a great understanding of the help my son needed and it definitely improved my son's GCSE results. I would highly recommend Mark and appreciate all the support he gave to my son. Thanks you Mark.

Mark is a brilliant English tutor! He has years of teaching experience and tutored my child for GCSE English Literature and English Language. He is kind and supportive, with a great way of building a child's confidence in a subject. He gets up to speed on different specifications very quickly, which is essential given the range of exam boards. He is also flexible with times and dates for sessions. "Mark really helped me improve my ability to understand and analyse texts, which significantly improved my essay scores. I highly recommend him as a tutor".

Mark tutored my daughter online for the final year of her GCSE English. Mark instilled the confidence my daughter needed to believe in herself as well as assessing and filling gaps in her knowledge. The exam question practice and feedback he gave her was invaluable. Mark is calm, kind and a wonderful teacher - my daughter always looked forward to her lessons with him and it gave her a real enjoyment of the subject for the first time. I would highly recommend Mark.

We can’t recommend Mark enough. He has successfully taught both my son and daughter during their GCSE’s and has played a huge part in developing all the written, analytical, planning skills they needed to write their exams. It has been lovely to see their confidence in English grow as a result!
Mark has a very warm and friendly approach and he very quickly established a strong rapport with both my children. He clearly is very passionate and has a brilliant way of engaging them in the subject making it more interesting and easy to learn.

We’ve been delighted with Marks tutoring and coaching over the past 3 years. Our son has gained huge confidence from Mark’s carefully tailored approach and we are looking forward to Marks pre-exam support as we enter this critical year.

Mark has been an excellent tutor to 2 of my daughters. He has inspired their love of English and given them a lot of confidence. He is 100% trustworthy.

We have known Mark as an outstanding teacher for many years and recently asked him to support both our children with their GCSE preparations on a 1-2-1 tutoring basis. Mark quickly identified where support was most needed and in only a handful of sessions helped develop exam strategies for both. Both children excelled in the Literature GCSE despite struggling with the subject prior to Mark’s involvement. Mark was calm and considered in the way he engaged and set challenging but achievable targets building trust and confidence. Mark’s passion for the subject shines through and that passion seems second only to the passion he seems to have for enabling young people to fulfil their potential whatever that potential is. Such was Mark’s impact, one of our children opted to continue with new confidence to study Literature at A Level. We would not hesitate to recommend Mark.

I highly recommend Mark as an outstanding English tutor. During many years, he provided weekly sessions to my children focused on reading, comprehension, grammar and writing. His lessons were engaging, well-structured and very adapted to GCSE cucciculum. He had a remarkable ability to build confidence, spark curiosity and deep literary techniques of my children. Mark is a dedicated and inspiring tutor.

Mark is an extremely experienced English tutor who our daughter really liked and he really helped her to prepare for her GCSEs. I highly recommend him and only wish we had persuaded her to get help sooner.

My daughter really enjoyed her sessions with Mark and felt that he consolidated the learning for her. He supported her in writing practice papers and she grew in confidence in English. Mark is a kind and knowledgeable tutor who is empathetic to the individuals he coaches and mentors. Several of my friends and family have used Mark as a tutor on my recommendation and have been as equally pleased with his support for their YP.
