I am meticulous in understanding my students' particular academic needs and much of this is done through close discussion which is possible to have in 1 to 1 classes. Often learners have lost or never had confidence in a particular topic/text/idea and a well-focused, applied approach can work wonders quite quickly.
Pupils leave my classes with clear takeaways, ideas to think through/write on and more confident in their ability to tackle these on their own. Consolidation particularly of tricky material is checked and reinforced in the next lesson so that a clear, structured approach is established and learning becomes rewarding rather than intimidating.
My students will usually complete at least one major task each week, such as an essay or a research topic to be presented in the next class.
My classes are usually one hour in length, but this can be negotiated. The first class is always one hour.
I am a highly experienced teacher and tutor, having worked in several schools over 30 years. In my last school I was the head of the English department for 18 years. I have also served twice as an A level examiner in Shakespeare and Drama, but I am very versatile and am familiar with many authors and their works from 1300 - present day. My knowledge and experience mean that my students can be assured that I know by heart what they need to study and achieve.
I can offer English Literature and Language lessons from 13+ to GCSE, and English Literature also to A level.
I will never expect a learner to turn up knowing everything - otherwise why do they need tuition? But I will expect your commitment and dedication to be evident from the start. This will include the completion of homework tasks.
Usually I teach only 6 - 8 pupils per week so that I can especially concentrate on their specific needs. Lessons are usually taught online but face to face meetings can be arranged if distances between us allow.

Richard is an extremely knowledgeable English tutor. He explains concepts thoroughly and with patience, and always gives useful feedback. I felt much more prepared and confident after his tuition and would highly recommend.
