About Al
I'm a confident and encouraging English teacher, with five years of experience. I've taught students from age 11-18, teaching across various GCSE and A-Level specifications, and I've dabbled in various subjects, although English is ultimately my area of expertise and passion. I find teaching hugely energising, and I always welcome the opportunity to inspire new students. I'm now working as an online tutor while I take a year's break from teaching in schools to travel in France.

I take a student-led approach - as an experienced teacher, I am equally happy delivering exam-focused courses or more expansive, creative, discussion-focused sessions on particular literary texts you might be studying at KS3, GCSE, A-Level or university. I generally begin with a consultation session where we discuss the student's needs, then offer several possible learning courses based on what I think will be most beneficial. Lesson length is also adaptable, though I would suggest 50-60 mins.

Al was the perfect tutor for our family. I couldn’t recommend them more. They tailor lessons specifically to my children’s individual needs and always ensured the lessons were engaging and unique. They are a very confident and personable tutor. Thanks again Al for all your work!
Al is a superb teacher who has excelled at all levels of teaching English in UK secondary schools - Yr 7/8/9, GCSEs, & A-Level. Al excels at igniting in students a deep-seated and lasting love of Shakespeare and poetry and all other set texts while simultaneously instilling in them the fundamentals of exam technique and the necessary skills for top marks. I have no hesitation recommending Al very highly indeed.
Al is a fantastic tutor! Engaging, patient and professional, Al turned my two boys - previously reluctant readers - into bookworms. Very punctual and professional, too. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
As a fellow teacher and youth worker - Al is an incredible tutor who makes every student feel welcome and creates an excellent environment for all to learn!
