Paul is one of our best English Literature tutors. They have a high-quality profile, verified qualifications, a quick response time, and great reviews from students!

About Paul

UPDATE: October, 2026. My hours are nearly all taken. I only have about three slots left. I expect to be full within a few days.

I help students develop clear, analytical writing and confident, independent thinking — the skills that bring success in English language and literature at GCSE, A Level and university study.

I specialise in helping students produce clear, well-structured prose and thoughtful, analytical responses, moving beyond basic answers to confident, high-level work.

I have worked extensively in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, including as Headmaster of a leading A Level college in Malaysia, where students progressed to top international universities.

I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching English for Specific Purposes, have published more than thirty-five books, and bring a structured, methodical approach to improving both writing accuracy and essay quality. More details can be found here: (concealed information)

Based in Cyprus, I concentrate on working online with GCSE, A Level and university students. I'm happy to work pretty well any time of day, but please note I don't normally take classes at weekends.

About the lesson

My lessons are structured, focused and tailored to the specific demands of GCSE, A Level English and higher learners.

I specialise in developing well-written essays, precise textual analysis, and confident, independent argument.

Students are encouraged to share work or topics in advance so that lessons can be carefully prepared and highly targeted. This allows us to use time efficiently and focus on the areas that will make the greatest difference.

In addition to live, online lessons, I provide detailed written feedback on essays and assignments, including clear guidance for improvement and, where appropriate, model answers and responses. This ensures that steady progress between sessions builds students' confidence in both writing and exam technique. Additionally, I work with adult learners and university students, offering support in academic writing, essay structure and critical analysis at undergraduate level and above.

I also offer optional short sessions focused on exam confidence and stress management, supporting students to perform at their best under pressure.

Review

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Paul.

Perfect! Paul has been an incredible tutor for my son and has truly inspired him to improve in his GCSE English Literature. His patience, encouragement, and ability to connect with a teenage boy have made all the difference. Paul knows exactly how to motivate and build confidence, and my son now approaches his GCSE preparation with a much more positive attitude. We’re extremely grateful for Paul’s support and would highly recommend him to any family looking for a dedicated and understanding tutor.
