Qualified English Tutor Shanghai | 11+ & GCSE Exams
Throughout the sophisticated academic community of Shanghai, I provide an elite level of specialist English tuition for families targeting premier UK boarding schools. I’m David, a Bachelor of Education graduate and fully qualified teacher with two decades of experience. My work is designed to demystify high-stakes entrance examinations for 11+ candidates by focusing on descriptive storytelling flair and the advanced linguistic structures required for elite entry. We ensure pupils develop the technical precision in their writing that is expected by the UK’s leading independent and selective institutions.
For students studying for IGCSEs or already boarding in Britain, I provide mentorship grounded in deep subject expertise across major exam boards such as CIE and Edexcel. Whether it is mastering the analytical depth required for a Shakespearean tragedy like Macbeth or exploring the structural variety in Post-war literature, my focus remains on individual excellence. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, I help students develop a professional-grade writing style that ensures Grade 9 results and provides a robust sense of academic self-assurance.

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.
