About Nev
I have been tutoring English GCSE language and literature online for ten years and have previously taught the same face-to-face in college. I have taught both AQA and Eduqas exam boards and am familiar with both syllabi. I hold a Certificate in Education. My background is in Social Work and I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Social Work (2.1) in addition to the CELTA qualification. I have been recommended by parents and many of their comments are on this site.

First of all, I will listen to your learning goals and needs and assess your current level. Lessons will focus on honing skills and confidence. An emphasis is made on engaging your interest and curiosity to create an interesting adventure rather than a passive and dreary burden! Regarding the language paper, lessons will include us writing short creative passages using techniques to sculpt inventive, vivid passages with a surprising twist or two! Transactional writing will also be covered such as how to write persuasively. The literature lessons can be fascinating in that we will delve into the social context of the play/novel/poem and you will learn interesting and relevant facts about history, culture and psychology of the times as well as the plot, characters and themes of the work. We will also enhance your repertoire of literary techniques and analytical skills. The goal is to encourage you to be a proactive, curious and insightful English connoisseur!

Perfect! Nev tutored my son a little while ago and was really amazing. He was able to identify his strengths quickly and worked towards preparing him for his future GCSE by giving him useful advice and sound methodology. I would absolutely recommend him.

Perfect! Nev is an incredibly patient, experienced, and supportive tutor. My son has struggled with English and lacked confidence in learning the subject, but Nev has been able to teach him patiently, helping him build both his skills and self-confidence. I highly recommend Nev!
- I will your son all the best with his studies!Nev's response :
Perfect! Excellent tutor. Calm, kind, encouraging, reliable, professional. Over the last three months Nev has really helped build my 16 year old son's confidence in English. He is currently home schooled and signed up to take the Functional English level 2 exam on line (equivalent to GCSE grade 4). Nev checked out the curriculum of the different Functional English exam boards and covered what my son needed to know. He went from feeling very unsure, nervous and a bit resistant to English to feeling it is his strongest subject. Big thank you for that Nev!
- Hi Will. Your analysis skills are coming on very well!Nev's response :
Perfect! Best teacher !!! My son was really struggling with English grammar and literature. Since Nev is helping him has improved his grades.
- Hi Oliver. Good luck with your studies !Nev's response :
Perfect! My son has recently started working with Nev on his English Lang and Lit GCSEs. My son has Aspergers, so while he's well read and has an excellent vocabulary, he often struggles to get his ideas down on paper in a structured format, especially for a subject like English where there is no one single answer. I explained this to Nev, and he noted that it's possible to teach structure too, which I know will be a focus of his work with my son.
Nev quickly worked to build a strong supportive relationship with my son. While he was initially apprehensive, my son now almost bounces off the lessons with Nev! Nev has already started to build my son's confidence in his ability to answer the questions, which is great to see, and we look forward to having him continue to work with Felix over the coming year.- Felix has a deep understanding of Animal Farm and understands the social context excellently.Nev's response :
Perfect! Thank you again for the great work you have done with my daughter
- Hi Eva, I look forward to supporting you in mastering Macbeth and A Christmas Carol!Nev's response :

My daughter and I highly recommend Nev because of his passion, patience and professionality.
Ten months ago, my daughter hated English writing. Diary, newspaper, journal, poetry, fiction and plays… summary, theme, character analysis, complaint letter, persuasive and argumentative essays…all kinds of writings came to her. Those days were just like nightmares. I also felt frustrated.
Luckly, we found Nev, a professional tutor on SuperProf. Lessons are well prepared, organized and targeted. Topics and concepts are explained clearly, class discussion involves reading and writing skills, penetrated comments and encouragement help my daughter rebuild her confidence. Gradually, her writing is enriched with creative thinking, ambitious vocabulary, and clear structure. My daughter’s feedback is “Nev knows what I need and his teaching really helps me!”
In addition, Nev is positive, warm-hearted, open-minded and knowledgeable. His passion for life attracts and infects my daughter.
We appreciate Nev so much. And we strongly recommend Nev.I highly recommend Nev as a teacher and as a person as well. He is an open minded, honest man with a good vibe around him :) Talk to him is always a pleasure for me. Go on Nev!
Nev is a very helpful, patient and kind teacher. His teaching skill is excellent and his feedback are always useful. I enjoy learning English with him and he encouraged me a lot.
Nev has been teaching my child for the past 4 years and has not only been his tutor but a positive role model in my child’s life. I highly recommend Nev as he is very knowledgeable, very patient, very trustworthy, but most importantly, he truly cares about his students. He is a kind soul and through his teaching methods, my child is able to excel in his studies. Thank you, Nev for everything you do :)
Nev is genuinely and literally a SuperProf! :)
Besides his excellent teaching and mentoring skills, attention to details and to "native-like nuances", he is a very open, friendly, warmhearted person with a great sense of witty humour. :)
He always puts a smile on my face while makes learning a lightweighted joy at the same time. :)
So in sum, I highly recommend him!! :)
Nev is a great tutor, he helped me jump from a grade 4 to 9 in 2 months!
Highly recommended. My son is not a natural academic and Nev patience and style has helped my son gain confidence and go from an expected grade 1 to achieving a 4 in the exam in just over 6 months. Thank you
Nev is an very experienced and inspiring English teacher. Both of my 12 and 8 yo boys have benefited considerably from his teaching. Nev is particularly proficient in coaching English comprehension with vivid illustration on literacy techniques and writing skills which are vital for any certificate English examinations. Thanks, Nev!
We are very lucky to have found Nev as English Tutor for my two daughters (from Y10 and Y9). He is a very structured and organised teacher who plans lessons in advance and sends material beforehand in preparation of the lesson. The content of the lesson is specific and customised as per the needs of the improvement area or as needed based on catching up with school topics.
My both daughters find Nev to be a very friendly who explains the improvements in a very constructive ways. No wonder we are having Nev as a teacher for nearly a year now.
We thank Nev for making a positive difference.
A great teacher for English needs.
Very much recommended.
Nev speaks a very neat and clear English, letting any student understand and learn good pronunciation while feeling at ease. He will explain word meaning with examples and images helping to enrich vocabulary. He will propose readings of various genres and historical periods, bringing the student closer to English literature and culture, arousing real enthusiasm for English!
I really enjoy my classes with Nev! He’s professional, patient and organised. If you choose him as your tutor I can guarantee he will certainty achieve your needs.
First, Nev has never missed a class and always has been on time. He tries to spend class time fully every time and even doesn't mind teaching a few more minutes. Second, he prepares teaching materials that is a great help to me every time. Finally he is very kind and understanding.

I had the fortune to begin doing class with Nev 2 months ago, and I am really thankful to him.
Speaking from my personal experience, I could realize he is talented, passionate, and experienced teacher from the first class. He has been adapting the class and the material to my needs.
Not only is supporting me with many useful resources or activities, but he is also making the classes open to my convenience. Therefore, we may choose together which type of homework we are going to do: listening, reading, speaking, word transformation.
I absolutely recommend him!!
Nev is the best teacher who has ever taught me. Thanks to him, my English language skills have improved a lot. I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn English from a native language teacher.
My son has had a dislike for English throughout school and I only wish he'd had a teacher like Nev. My son has enjoyed every session and I have seen his confidence in English grow week after week. Wholeheartedly recommend this enthusiastic tutor.
Nev tutored my son for three momths before the GCSE exam. His remarcable knowledge, his energy and passion, his outstanding teaching skills gave my son the tools, the confidence and the motivation to learn more and to succeed. His mock grades increased from a 3 to a 5 in these three months, his attitude towards learning English in particular changed completely and permanently. Nev passion and vast subject knowledge had a great impact also on how my son prepared for all his exams. I consider myself lucky to have such an amazing tutor for my son.
