GCSE English, 11 Plus &
Entrance Exams Tutor
My name is David, and I am a fully qualified English teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and over twenty years of experience in classroom teaching and private tuition. My sessions cover all age groups from primary through to the end of secondary schooling, providing the consistent guidance students need as they move through each stage of their education.
I provide thorough exam preparation for both English Language and Literature GCSE and IGCSE across all major boards, including AQA, Edexcel, Cambridge, and Eduqas, both within the UK and internationally. My extensive knowledge of how papers are marked at every level allows me to show students exactly what is expected for each question format, helping them to meet the requirements for the highest possible grades.
The vast majority of my students taking 11+ and 13+ entrance examinations are awarded places at their first-choice schools, including Westminster, St Paul’s, and North London Collegiate. Success in these competitive applications is built on learning how to produce work that meets the exacting standards of the top schools in the country. Numerous parent testimonials reflect the quality of my teaching and the outstanding results my students have achieved.

If you want a serious professional who can lift a student immediately, who knows the board requirements for doing well, and who can tailor tuition to the precise needs of the kid, then David is the man. My son is bright, but he was not well taught in English. David turned it all around within a matter of weeks and set him on track to a great GCSE grade. Don't mess around - go with David. Highly recommend.

David tutored our daughter for 11+ English. I always found him to be very professional, organised and methodical in his approach. He always had a good supply of appropriate material that challenged her and pushed her to the next level. The two of them clicked very quickly and our daughter progressed very well. David is friendly and related well with her. Our daughter really enjoyed her sessions with him. She was accepted by all the top private and grammar schools that we applied to.

David has been helping my son prepare for his 11+ exams. We got started with extra tuition quite late, however already during this time I have noticed a big difference in my son’s attitude and study technique. He has significantly improved his creative writing and also his understanding of how to tackle verbal and non-verbal reasoning style questions. David is helpful and accommodating as a teacher and I am very happy to recommend him and his approach to teaching.
