About Matthew

I have worked as a GCSE Examiner between 2019-2025 for Eduqas/WJEC, OCR, and Cambridge International iGCSE (CIE) exam boards, so consequently know the mark schemes very well and what is needed to improve answers and achieve certain grades.

I cover material from Key Stage 1 all the way up to A Level and Degree material. I have been teaching for 10 years and have taught material from all the major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel/Pearson, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas).

I teach preparation for 11+, 13+, and King's Scholarship exams, as well as International students iGCSE and S.A.Ts.

I have taught many students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, ADD, ADHD, slow processing issues and various learning challenges and have found a way to always engage them in the sessions and keep them interested in the subject.

About the lesson

I am an experienced and professional Private Tutor who teaches in the South of England. I have degrees in English Literature and History; I specialise in all the humanities subjects: English Literature, English Language, History, Religious Studies, Politics, and Psychology.

I have a decade of experience and dozens of 5-star reviews on other tuition websites and references which I am happy to send.

I have a great deal of experience teaching content from all of the major exam boards, for English Language and Literature: AQA, Edexcel/Pearson, WJEC/Eduqas, for History: OCR, Edexcel and AQA. I also teach Cambridge iGCSEs (for English and History) and teach English as a second language (ESL) to foreign students and Maths at KS2.

I have a passion for teaching; I love interacting with students and seeing them develop their skills, expand their knowledge, and realise their potential. I try to immediately establish a strong rapport with my students, and I aim to ensure that my sessions are very engaging and interactive.

Typically, my students improve by at least 3 grades after a year with me, although there have been some higher and more impressive leaps in grades.

10/10 - Matt is absolutely brilliant at connecting with his students. He has really turned our daughter's History and Literature A level grades around - we're so lucky that we managed to get him considering he was fully booked when we enquired. His approach to teaching is lovely to see as he takes the time to explain things in an easy way and always provides feedback to our daughter and to my husband and I after each session.

Matt is an exemplary English teacher - after a year of learning English language with him I have grown so much and learnt more than I could ever have imagined. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Matt is an fantastic tutor for both English and History. He has been teaching both children in these subjects and they have made impressive progress. Matt strikes up a real rapport with his students and makes the lessons engaging. Because he's an examiner too, he knows what he is talking about and how to get students through their exams. My eldest has even opted to take A level History too because he has enjoyed Matt's lessons so much and wants to continue them into A level!

Great tutor; lovely guy; 100% recommend.

I have had Matt as a tutor for a while now and the improvement in my daughter's grades has been amazing. She really lacked confidence and understanding the exam, but after working with Matt, her grades have improved massively and she in close to achieving a 7! Thanks Matt. Would definitely recommend as a tutor.

Matt has been our tutoring our son in English and History for two years as he approaches his GCSEs. He is an absolutely fantastic tutor - so knowledgable and engaging. He takes the time to give us feedback about our son's progress and the areas that he needs to focus on in revision/homework tasks. Thanks to Matt, our son has increased by 3 grades in both English subjects and 4 grades in History.

Thanks Matt! 100% recommend!

We've had Matt for a tutor for many years, and he has taught all three of my children. Working in a school myself, I know the benefits of tuition and finding the right person to help your child navigate through their GCSEs and beyond. Matt, 100%, is that person. He is very knowledgable about all aspects of English and knows the curriculum and exams inside out. He also has a great rapport with his students and makes each lesson engaging.
