Jericho Qualified English Tutor for GCSE & 11 Plus
I help students in Jericho navigate the transition to competitive selective schools in the Oxford area, as well as working toward top-tier results in GCSE and IGCSE English. My approach is meticulously designed to support students through the selective school admissions process, providing intensive preparation for 11 plus and 13 plus entrance exams. By drawing on a career spanning over 20 years, I help students secure their academic trajectory, ensuring they master complex skills such as evaluating the imagery in Romeo and Juliet or the rhetorical techniques in modern drama like Journey’s End by R.C. Sherriff.

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.
