Tuition in English Literature at A Level and above by English Literature PhD, poet, critic and publisher (Frome, Somerset) --- face to face or online

Michael is an excellent teacher, he is a very knowledgeable, patient and experienced teacher. He takes the time to make sure you really understand the different elements of English literature. I have learnt a lot from his lessons and can highly recommend him to be your teacher too!

For some time, Michael has been proofreading my translations and guiding me on style and appropriate idiom, as that can be problematic when one translates too literally.

I find his advice clear, valuable and expressed in a way that makes it more palatable - sharing knowledge rather than showing me what a dunce I am!

I have known Michael for over thirty years and in that time he has been amazingly helpful with my writing career. I write factual history booklets, childrens books and fantasy novels. Michael has kindly edited some of these and his approach was really useful. Instead of finding fault or criticising, he read my manuscripts, and then made sensible, helpful suggestions in a genuine and informed way. Michael's knowledge of English Literature and language is impressive. He is a kind, helpful and honest person and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
