About William

Humanities PhD; specialist in English (language, literacy and literature); familiar with UK Key Stages 2 through to 5 including SATs, GCSE and A-level, and also iGCSE and IB; experienced at teaching in class, one-to-one and on-line; GCSE examiner; over twenty years in the Education Sector.

I am a dedicated, diligent teacher, able to communicate with young people of diverse ability and background. I have successfully tutored pupils for some of the most sought-after schools in the country. I have also worked in some of London’s more challenging academies, supported young people outside mainstream education, and taught on-line across the globe.

English is my key focus. Without this subject, pupils cannot access other areas of the curriculum and may struggle to enter employment. I also teach Social Science or Sociology (GCSE, A-Level and Undergraduate), History and Religious Studies (GCSE).

I have worked as a researcher in universities, in the commercial sector, and in Westminster, but now I am a full-time tutor. Check out the 'Packs' below to see the best booking deals for online lessons

People often ask me what I intend to do - honestly, I won’t know exactly until I have met the pupil and formulated some idea of what the ‘problem’ is. From here on, there are numerous tricks of the trade, but nothing works for everyone, and the point of tutoring is personalisation. Children also get bored quickly, of course, and we sometimes find that what worked wonders on Monday has lost its fizz by Friday. While I have plenty of favourite techniques, I try not to stay in my own comfort zone all of the time. Really though, what I do is not the most important thing: too many teachers and tutors focus on themselves when a more child-centred approach is called for; our most successful learners are the ones who take the most ownership of their learning process.
