Get in touch.

I have been teaching and tutoring GCSE and IGCSE English for over 20 years, both Language and Literature, including all examining boards. Over the years, I have helped thousands of students to gain their desired grades. I teach to the highest standards for a reasonable price. I am also bookable through Tutorful https://tutorful.co.uk/tutors/v4y45y3e though at a premium due to Tutorful’s service fee. I have a valid DBS certificate viewable on request.

If you are looking for GCSE English tuition for yourself, your son or daughter, complete the form and I will get back to you promptly.

Rates are £35.00 per hour or £300 for a block of 10 lessons.

Happy students.

  • "We’ve had lessons from Philip for our son who was preparing for his GCSE mocks and although Philip was busy he did fit in lessons for us. My son isn’t confident in his English subject but felt so relaxed and confident with Philip. Philip has been so great with his lessons and he’s helped my son so much. Will definitely carry on with English lessons. Highly recommend"

  • "Philip has been outstanding whilst providing tuition to my son prior to his GCSE English exam. He has been honest and compassionate giving constructive feedback and advice in order for him to fully prepare for his resit exam. I fully recommend him as a tutor."

    Michelle R.

  • "Philip has been tutoring my son for a couple of weeks, we have seen such an improvement in his English language. My son feels comfortable with Philip and he enjoys the sessions they have and feels Philips learning techniques are fantastic. Would highly recommended."

  • "We used Phillip just for two sessions to go over one particular text my daughter was struggling with. Two sessions with Phillip and the homework he set helped immensely and she is now much more confident for her GCSE. I wasn't sure nay tutor would want to do a small amount of sessions but Phillip was more than happy to come along for as many or as few sessions as my daughter felt she needed. Would thoroughly recommend Philip."

  • "My son is enthused again for his English GCSE retake, this is thanks to Philip’s knowledge of the subject and friendly attitude."

    Andrea C.

  • "Philip is an amazing tutor. My son only had a few weeks of tutoring with him to get him prepped for an exam. His teaching methods are really good and direct and my son learned a lot within the short period. I would definitely get Philip again for lessons in the future."

  • "Our daughter was struggling with her A-level English Literature coursework, and we were fortunate enough to find Philip. From the very first lesson, we noticed a positive change in our daughter's attitude towards the subject. Philip has a knack for making the most challenging texts accessible and engaging. His approach has boosted our daughter's confidence tremendously. She now looks forward to her English lessons. We're planning to continue with Philip's tutoring until the final exams. If you're looking for an English tutor who can truly make a difference, we wholeheartedly recommend Philip."

  • "I cannot recommend Philip highly enough as an English tutor. My son has ASD and has always struggled with English. He didn’t get the grade he needed to get into college to study computers, which is his passion. I don’t know what magic Philip used but he managed to crack what other teachers had not been able to. The first thing that stood out was the Sean related to Philip very quickly and easily, whereas he is usually hesitant and reserved. Philip showed great patience and understanding of ASD. Within a few weeks, we began to see improvements not just in his grades, but in his overall attitude towards English, a subject he has always hated. With Philip’s help, Sean achieved the grade he needed to get into college and is over the moon. If you're seeking an English tutor who can make a real difference, especially for students with additional learning needs, Philip is an exceptional choice."
