Super Tutor

Jack is one of our best English tutors. High-quality profile and excellent qualifications, organised and responsive to lesson requests, appreciated by their students!

About Jack

I have been tutoring English Literature for over 7 years, helping students to achieve excellent results in their GCSE & A-Level examinations. My tutees have consistently achieved above their predicted marks, typically by two grades at GCSE level.

I have personally obtained A* grades in English Literature & English Language GCSE's, and an A* (96%) in A-Level English Literature. I recently graduated with a first-class degree from the University of Cambridge, where I specialised in comparative literature and critical theory.

My teaching resources have been published by TES (Times Educational Supplement) and have been downloaded over 2,000 times. I have also worked as an academic tutor for the award-winning Oxford Summer Courses programme.

About the lesson

Hi, I'm Jack. I'm a friendly, experienced tutor of English Literature and first-class graduate of Cambridge University. I offer private English Literature sessions to students of all ages, abilities and learning styles.

My process – 5 steps to success!
1. Firstly, I understand how each student best learns and the goals they have for our tutoring sessions together.
2. I then create new learning materials tailored to each student’s needs to ensure my sessions are as productive and focused as possible.
3. My sessions focus on developing the key skills required for academic success – textual analysis, essay writing and critical thinking.
4. I encourage self-reflective learning by tracking each student’s progress and discussing next steps openly with them.
5. For parents, I produce a personal learning log after each session which outlines the lesson objectives, content covered and the student’s overall progress.

GCSE/A-Level
Typically, my students require support preparing for their GCSE/A-Level examinations. I regularly teach AQA, Edexcel & OCR courses, and work within the syllabus of your exam board to ensure my sessions are relevant to each student’s course. My teaching reinforces the classroom-based learning students receive at school whilst identifying and plugging gaps in knowledge at a comfortable pace.

With student and parent agreement, I set small homework tasks and offer marked feedback in the next session. Similarly, as the examination period nears, I encourage students to complete mock responses. I mark all mock paper answers and discuss critical aspects of exam technique with students in my lessons.

Adult Learners
If you are an adult learner and would like to improve your knowledge of English Literature, please do get in touch. I have previously tutored working professionals who are not preparing for examinations but would like to improve their own writing, familiarise themselves with the literary canon and better understand literary techniques.

Do get in touch – I look forward to supporting you with your learning!

Perfect! Jack is undoubtedly my best English teacher. He is exceptionally dedicated to teaching and always prepares brilliant lessons. He always ensures that I fully comprehend English in both spoken and written forms. Not only does he teach the essential rules of the English language, but he also nurtures a sharp sense of practical application. Also, he transforms even the most boring grammar concepts into accessible and engaging material.

It was lovely to meet Mook today, and I'm really looking forward to future sessions together. Mook is enthusiastic and expresses herself clearly, sometimes using complex and idiosyncratic language. Together, Mook and I will improve her spoken and written English by focussing on grammar, vocabulary, and register.

Jack is always on time. Fully dedicated to providing great quality teaching. English is my first language and as a post graduate, I’m very comfortable and convinced with his approach, methodology and reasoning. I strongly recommend him whilst hoping that I don’t risk losing my allocated time slot!

Honestly, when it comes to this specific tutor, he's fantastic at what he does. Jack is always very organised. He prepares for every lesson with his students, makes engaging slides and sets homework from time to time to make sure that his students have something to do, which will greatly benefit them in the long run. He knows how to properly teach people -- an important quality that every tutor should have. No complaints from me here. I highly recommend anyone to have sessions with him.

I've studied with Jack at university for the past four years. He has excellent analytical skills in the fields of language and literature and is brilliant at explaining complex ideas in a simple and approachable way. He's also very friendly and makes you feel at ease even in an academic setting. Would thoroughly recommend him as a tutor!

Jack provided my son with tutoring for his English Language and Literature GCSEs over a period of several months. My son enjoyed his sessions and felt that Jack communicated clearly and helped him significantly. From a parent's perspective, I found Jack to be well organised, an efficient communicator and quickly able to tailor his teaching around my son's specific needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him and wish him well in his future as a Superprof tutor!
