Kingsway Qualified English Tutor for GCSE & 11 Plus
For those targeting The Crypt School or Ribston Hall High School from Kingsway, the focus must remain on the 'technical wins' that elevate a student's performance, from mastering narrative artistry to evaluating a writer’s lexical choices. Whether we are exploring the social commentary in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol or the rhetorical devices in modern drama like DNA, I ensure every student develops an authoritative writing style that reflects deep subject knowledge. This bespoke approach is meticulously tailored to meet the high standards of major exam boards like AQA and OCR.
I am David, and with over 20 years as a qualified teacher and a Bachelor’s degree in Education, I provide a level of academic mentorship that prioritises genuine progress over standard study. I offer comprehensive preparation for the 11 plus and 13 plus assessments, alongside the sophisticated coaching required for top-tier results in GCSE and IGCSE English. My reputation is built on a foundation of proven results and numerous parent reviews, reflecting a long-standing success in securing competitive admissions through rigorous literacy coaching and a focus on academic potential.

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.
