Online English Language Tutor Karen

Do you know your subject, but your grades don’t show it? You’re not alone. Many of the students I work with are capable and hardworking, but they lose marks under exam conditions, often without knowing exactly where.

That’s where I can help. Together, we’ll find where the marks are slipping, then build a clear, step-by-step plan to fix it. You’ll learn to read questions precisely, plan quickly, and write answers that are clear, focused and calm, even under pressure.

I’ve spent over 20 years teaching, designing courses and running assessments, so I know what examiners reward. I’ll share that with you in a way that feels manageable, not overwhelming.

How I can help:

GCSE English: exam technique, essay planning, using evidence well and managing your time

GCSE & A Level Drama & Theatre: written papers, portfolios and reflective writing that link your performance choices to theory

Essay Writing & Academic English: for students preparing for or starting university, including those with English as an additional language

Personal Statements: helping you talk about your strengths clearly and honestly
