Is Your Child Finding GCSE English Confusing, Stressful, Or Hard To Improve?
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 teen's confusion!
If your teen 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.


Struggling with English doesn't just affect English!
Think about it, how many subjects does your teen write essays for?
If your teen 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 teen 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 discovery call with me, and I will identify exactly where your teen 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 teen.
