A clear, structured process, designed to build confidence, independence, and long-term success.
Initial Enquiry
Share a brief outline of your child's current level, goals, and any areas of concern using the contact form.
This allows me to quickly understand where they are now, what they need next, and whether my approach is the right fit.
Initial Consultation
We begin with a short consultation (with parents and student where appropriate) to build a clear picture of:
​
-
current course, exam board, and timeline
-
strengths, gaps, and confidence levels
-
what success looks like – academically and personally
​
From this, I recommend a tailored programme and outline the most effective next steps.
​
There is no obligation following the consultation; it is simply an opportunity to ensure the approach is well matched.
Weekly Sessions Begin
Each lesson follows a clear, consistent structure so students know exactly what to expect and how to improve.
​
A typical session includes:
​
-
Explicit teaching – introducing a new skill, concept, or technique
​
-
Guided practice – modelled, supported, independent application
​
-
Retrieval and recap – securing learning over time
​
-
Next steps – clear, focused targets for the week ahead
​
Lessons are tailored to the student, but the structure remains consistent, building confidence, stability, and measurable progress over time.
Between Sessions
Progress continues beyond the lesson, with support tailored to the chosen programme:
​
-
Foundation – weekly targets and structured independent practice
​
-
Rhetoric – regular marked work with clear, examiner-informed feedback
​
-
Mastery – full support package, including performance tracking and a monthly parent report
​
This ensures students are not only improving in lessons, but developing independence and control over time.
Each stage is designed to move students from uncertainty to control, with steady, measurable progress.
What to expect
Is this the right fit for your child?
Our approach works best for:​
​
-
Students preparing for Cambridge IGCSE or A Level English
​
-
Students willing to engage consistently between sessions
​
-
Students aiming to develop structure, clarity, and control in their writing
​
-
Students who benefit from a clear, structured approach over last-minute revision
Every student’s situation is different. This is designed to help you decide whether the approach is the right fit.
