When Your Child Struggles With GCSE English,

Their Confidence Drops

Is Your Child Finding GCSE English Confusing, Stressful, Or Hard To Improve?

Pick a time below. On the call I'll show you where your child is losing marks, and give you a plan to fix it.

I'm Rupert Crisswell

A Cambridge-educated English teacher and examiner with over 20 years of experience in some of the top private and state schools in the UK.

I’ve worked with students who were:

  • Struggling and losing confidence

  • Capable but underperforming

  • Confused by vague feedback

  • Anxious about exams and writing

In almost every case, the issue wasn’t intelligence or effort.

It was a lack of clarity.

English is a subject where there is not one definitive answer like Maths or Science, and that can leave even capable students feeling lost.

Feedback is often vague, which only adds to your child's confusion.

If your child is struggling, it's likely not because they aren't capable, they're just not being taught in a way that works for them; they need a different approach.

But there's a bigger problem

Struggling with English doesn't just affect English.

How many subjects does your child write essays for?

If your child doesn't know how to write an effective essay, or they are losing confidence in their written ability, it will have a knock on effect on every other written subject as well, and their grades drop across the board.

If your child is struggling with English, don't wait to see if things improve, get them the help they need to get back on track.

And the first step is free.

Book your Strategy Session with me, and I will identify exactly where your child is struggling, and give you a personalised learning plan to get them back on track.

If they are the right fit, I can also tell you more about my English programs and how they will benefit your child.
