About Simon
With my education, subject knowledge and professional experience (FT, BBC, Independent, Evening Standard), I am skilled at gauging how each student can progress and meet their goals.
My passion for English Language and Literature inspires my students to appreciate the subject in a new way; I excel at explaining things to them that were previously unclear and I have many enthusiastic and grateful testimonials (see below).
Sessions with me are informal, relaxed but effective. I am patient and attentive; I am also proficient in communicating expert knowledge of English Language and Literature as evidenced with the A Grade GCSE success of my students.
I draw upon years of journalistic and editing experience within the Media to deliver insightful, relevant and efficient teaching that produces tangible results for my students.
My father is a retired teacher of 35 years so I have gleaned insight and professional wisdom from him.
"A lovely guy and keen to meet expectations and very well organised."
"Very supportive and good at what he does."
"A tutor that is extremely professional and well-equipped."
"I had a great first session. I have a lot to learn and I am confident that Simon can help me to achieve my final goal."
"Simon has been tutoring my daughter for a few weeks now. He is punctual, polite and my daughter finds him easy to discuss her issues with. He is appropriately critical of her work and they are working to improve her essay writing skills."
"Very knowledgeable and dedicated person."
"Simon is very punctual and professional. Works hard to meet individuals' needs."
"Very good with kids of all ages."
"Simon is an excellent tutor. He has profound knowledge in English Language/ Literature. My son is really happy and feels far more confident in the subject. I would highly recommend Simon."

I think Simon would be an excellent tutor as he is an Oxford graduate and is reliable, diligent, personable and a good communicator. He likes to bring the best out in others and has high standards for himself. I have known Simon for a number of years through the church we both attend.
I have known Simon for many years as a member of my church community, he is a capable and considerate individual. Happy to endorse him as an English tutor. Book with confidence.
