About Brian
I've been teaching English ever since I left university since I love the subject so much! I enjoy working with students to help them to understand the subject better and to build the skills they need to be successful. My approach is to start by asking you what you feel is most important to help you to improve, so that my teaching is targeted to the areas where you feel least confident. Whether in school or as a tutor, I have a strong track record of helping students to achieve the very best results they can. Often, my students have been surprised by their achievements; sometimes they have surprised their school English teacher!

My approach starts with the student, and my lessons are built around their personal areas for development. I teach by discussion and questioning, to build students' understanding and confidence, I give students models of good work and scaffolding to help them build their own responses, and I provide opportunities for their own independent practice which receive live feedback so they can make improvements as they write.
I have a first class degree in English from the University of Reading and have worked as a teacher in secondary schools for 27 years, most recently in the role of Lead Practitioner. I have also offered one-to-one tuition for the last ten years and have worked as an examiner for various examining boards at both GCSE and A-level.
My lessons are typically an hour and I can offer support in English Language, English Literature or both, at GCSE and A level, as well as helping with preparation for the English element of 11+ examinations, or supporting a Key Stage 3 student who needs a boost in confidence. I also have experience of Functional Skills and Entry Level English qualifications.

Brian tutored my daughter in the few months before her GCSEs. In that time I saw her confidence in the subject grow significantly. She felt she went into exams very well prepared and we eagerly await the results. Would certainly recommend. Many thanks to you, Brian.
I have worked with Brian in three separate schools. He has been one of the best colleagues I’ve worked with due to his great work ethic, kindness and humour. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of language, literature and exam technique. I highly recommend Brian as an empathetic, dedicated and professional tutor for students of all abilities.
Brian was a tutor for my son for his GCSE English. My son had been predicted grade 3s in English lit and language due to being dyslexic and struggling at school with anything written. Brian was amazing with him. Over about 5 months, Brian managed to work out what worked for my son and how he learned. My son has never been so engaged with an English teacher; he was actually enjoying learning. My son passed both his English GCSEs with a 5. Highly recommend Brian as a tutor; you definitely see results whatever level your child is at.
I worked with Brian; I think Brian is a very kind and patient individual and super clever and knowledgeable with English. Certainly a very kind colleague to work with.
Brian is an outstanding English teacher with strong subject knowledge across Key Stages 3-5. His classroom and leadership experience, as well as his long-time work as a GCSE examiner, mean he is extremely well equipped to support a wide range of students, including those with special needs and those wanting to attain Grade 9. Brian is patient and kind and genuinely wants the best for all the students he works with. He has a brilliant sense of humour and brings English to life for even the most reluctant of learners. Having worked alongside Brian for 10 years, I would not hesitate to recommend him as a tutor.
