Hi, I’m Andy and I’m an English tutor with 7+ years of experience in helping students improve their analytical and creative writing skills. I mainly support students doing GCSE English language & literature, although I do help a number of primary school students.

In 2016, I graduated with a 2:1 in Drama & Film from the University of Sussex and I’ve taught in a range of different learning environments, from class-based to home-based and now 1 to 1 online. I prefer helping students on a 1 to 1 basis as they typically make progress faster, and the pace of each lesson can be tailored to each individual student.

Asides from tutoring, I’ve used my writing & communication skills for commercial purposes since 2018, having written advertisements & blog content for advertising agencies, consulting firms & tech companies.

I enjoy helping students learn to write with clarity and purpose. I see potential in every student, and I do my best to make lessons as engaging as possible.

Since 2020, I began doing all my lessons online and realised that most of my students made progress faster than when lessons took place in person.

That’s because I use Zoom for video calling & Google docs. Students can see what I’m typing and vice versa and we can edit answers much faster compared to when writing by hand. There’s also no need to painstakingly re-write something by hand for the sake of a simple edit.

For peace of mind, I have a fully enhanced DBS certificate.
