Qualified GCSE and 11 Plus English Tutor for Plymouth
My name is David, and I offer a premium English tutoring service in Plymouth, designed to support students through the most critical milestones of their education. As a fully qualified teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and 20+ years of academic experience, I provide the strategic edge needed for success in the 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. My mentorship also extends to the rigorous demands of the GCSE and IGCSE curriculum, where I help students master the complexities of English Language and Literature.
My approach is tailored to those aiming for top-tier local schools, including Devonport High School for Boys and Plymouth High School for Girls, as well as prestigious independents like Plymouth College. I focus on developing the sophisticated linguistic skills and critical analysis required by major boards such as AQA, Edexcel, and Eduqas. With over two decades of professional insight, I ensure my students are not just prepared for their exams, but are equipped with the writing and analytical skills necessary for future academic success. My history of excellent results is reflected in the many testimonials from parents who have seen their children thrive under my mentorship.

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.
