Henry's profile picture

Information About Henry:


Personal Description:

I am a friendly, approachable Oxford graduate and Deputy Head of English in one of the nation's leading grammar schools.
I am a passionate English tutor, and I always try to foster an enthusiasm for literature in all my students. When teaching, I aim to provide clear and concise explanation, assess understanding and provide detailed feedback and encouragement.
Education is not just for exams. I aim to build confidence, encourage independence, and inculcate positive habits which last for life.



Teaching Experience:

Deputy Head Of English
3 years experience as a full-time classroom teacher
Currently working at a top 10 ranked grammar school in the UK



Tutoring Approach:

I can offer:
- Tailored lesson plans to suit the learner's needs.
- A comprehensive program for all main exam boards and literature texts.
- Verbal feedback during sessions and detailed written feedback on optional assignments.
- Lessons adapted for a range of abilities.
- Warmth, enthusiasm and (occasionally good) humour.
I am well versed in the most popular English Literature Exam texts and well acquainted with the Edexcel and AQA exam boards.
In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I organise the school's debating team, guiding them to the finals of the English-Speaking Union Public Speaking Competition.
My students typically go on to achieve the top grades in GCSEs and A Level.
