Expert 1-on-1 GCSE English tutoring — tailored to target the specific areas your child needs to improve their grades.
Expert English Tutor
Personalised 1-on-1 guidance focused on confident analysis, stronger writing, and top exam performance.
Hi! I'm Laura, an experienced English tutor with a passion for helping students achieve their dream grades. I hold a 2:1 BA (Hons) in English Literature from the University of Warwick (2020) and have over six years of tutoring experience.
I work with students from Year 7 to Year 13 and also tutor for 11+ and 13+ common entrance, with a 100% success rate so far. I tutor full-time, have published revision guides for Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Jekyll and Hyde, and share GCSE tips on TikTok at @smashgcseenglish.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading classic and contemporary texts and poetry, volunteer at my local Girlguiding unit, and I’m currently working on my next revision guide.
My approach is to create an engaging, encouraging environment where students can focus and learn effectively. Every session is tailored to the individual, whether we’re analysing a text, refining exam technique, or building a well-crafted essay.
I keep sessions relatively informal and discussion-led, rather than using rigid presentation-style lessons. This helps students develop their own ideas and interpretations, build confidence, and approach exams with strong analytical skills that impress examiners.
I am delighted to have been recognised by the National Tutoring Awards 2026, where I was shortlisted for Secondary Tutor of the Year and awarded Highly Commended in the People’s Choice Award for Professional Tutor of the Year.
Selected from a record-breaking field of applications and recognised by an independent panel of expert judges, this achievement reflects my commitment to providing high-quality, personalised English tuition that helps students build confidence, develop essential skills, and reach their full potential.
I am incredibly proud to be recognised alongside some of the UK’s leading tutors and education professionals, and I remain passionate about creating supportive, engaging lessons that empower students to succeed.
