My daughter was finding her GCSE texts very challenging. Her school is teaching GCSE texts that are not widely taught and it took us some time to find the right tutor who already had an experience in teaching given texts and was affordable.   We were initially trying to find the group tuition based on my daughter's texts as the group lessons are usually more accessible. Regrettably, for the period of 3 years, we failed to find any grup tuition on these literature texts.  We kept trying...Most of the torus and tutoring companies told us directly that they had never taught my daughter's GCSE texts before. 
Nicholas from Step Ahead Tutoring was our final and successful solution. Nicholas immediately accepted that the texts were rather unusual but they were part of his degree work as well as part of his teaching experience. Step ahead tutoring has a choice of packages for 1:1 tutoring. The tuition fees are accessible and considerate of the current financial climate.My daughter is very close to sitting her GCSE exams, and thanks to Step Ahead tutoring, she has become very confident at tackling the literature texts that were absolutely unmanageable beforehand. Nichols is a very patient and dedicated professional. He encourages learning in a way that is enjoyable, easy and produces great results. My daughter even enjoys her homework. Thank you, we will continue to pursue A level lessons with Step Ahead Tutoring next year.

My daughter was finding her GCSE texts very challenging. Firstly it was caused by the gaps as a result of the lack of teaching during the pandemic period and secondly, by the inability to deal with the sheer volume of learning, remembering, and understanding of topics covered in the English Language and Literature. Her school is teaching GCSE texts that are not widely taught and it took us some time to find the right tutor who already had experience in teaching given texts and was affordable. Nicholas scheduled an appointment to discuss our requirements and the way forward. Nicholas offered us a plan which would be specifically designed to support my daughter's learning and exam success. Nicholas offered us a payment package that was suitable for us to commit to long-term private tutoring. Nicholas is a very dedicated professional, always available to communicate and update. He is very approachable and flexible. He has a teaching method that works very well with my daughter, every lesson is full of renewed confidence, a new achievement, and a deeper understanding of the topics in question that were so difficult to tackle before.

I had this tutor not so long ago and was so useful for my English and helped me for my exams

Easy to organise tutoring. Nick was prompt getting back to me. Lessons delivered on time consistently. Massively helped improve my sons confidence on the lead up to the exams.

Nick was great as my tutor, he provided me with resources and homework. Working on areas that I was lacking in. No question is a silly question. Nick have good feedback after each lesson. Allowing me to feel very positive. Nothing was to much when providing his lessons and if something came up at the last minute he would accommodate and rearrange. Price wise for services provided are excellent. Well recommend Nicks service More...

Nick is an amazing English tutor. He’s is kind and understanding, he was thorough and extremely knowledgeable about what I needed to succeed. Couldn’t have done it without him.

Can’t recommend Nick enough as a tutor. He’s encouraged my reluctant teenager through her GCSEs, given her a huge amount of confidence and improved her predicted grades massively. Nick challenges my daughter to push herself but is also patient with his explanations and teaching. Thank you so much Nick! More...

I am an adult learner, working towards my functional skills level 2. Nicks tutoring was very professional and helped me immensely with my studies. I would recommend Nick to anyone who would like to improve on English.
His knowledge is outstanding and he was able to explain tasks in a way I understood. He is very patient and made sure I understood the lesson before moving on. An absolute exceptional tutor.

Thank you Nick for helping our foster child with their poetry. Can’t recommend enough. We’ve never had a tutor before and we were dubious as to whether it would help and if they would gel with our bairn but Nick went above and beyond to pin point the rooms for improvement, even taking the time to get to know us and build that bond which makes such a difference. Worth every penny. A very happy foster carer🙂 More...

Q&As

I am a current English Teacher, Lit in Colour Pioneer, Form Tutor, and Head of House with an array of work experience in a variety of fast paced and dynamic environments across the school. As a confident
practitioner I am looking to take the next step in my career and lead a department. My current professional and academic experience has given me a great foundation and a firm footing to climb to the
next stage, something I have always been focused on since graduating from the University of York. In the most recent data run 60% of students had been predicted over a grade 7 and in the most recent results day, students achieved this without a single failure. At the heart of any passionate teacher is an English curriculum that focuses on the appreciation of the literature and writer craft but matches the learners needs accordingly with high quality learning resources ultimate immersion in the text is paramount.

My classroom pedagogy, experience, and knowledge to align a curriculum not only cultivates a student’s self-purpose but gives them a confident start in life after education, enabling them to become lifelong learners.

Yes - the tutoring is completed via an online whiteboard using bespoke lessons to suit your child's needs. Each lesson will be created to boost your child's confidence, ability and love for the subject.
