Friendly, empathetic ArtsEd student and Eton-educated university graduate offering drama school entrance coaching and GCSE English tuition.

Jack helped my son, Ben, prepare for his Literature GCSE last year. Ben is dyslexic and a ‘numbers person’, and has always struggled to engage with works of fiction in a meaningful way. Jack broke down Macbeth and the rest of the Syllabus into simple to understand chunks, and helped Ben see the importance and relatability of these pieces even in the modern age. Jack was patient, kind and went above and beyond and we could now recommend him enough.

Jack is without fail always meticulously prepared and his contributions as a teacher in seminars was always thoughtful and carefully articulated. His careful attention to detail is matched by her ability to link textual detail to wider concerns and debates surrounding a given play or performance.

Jack helped our son for several months with English language and literature. We got him involved as our son (Y11 - preGCSEs) was getting progressively worse, very poor scores in English language and literature of between 3-5 (per GCSE gradings). Our son`s difficulties were compounded by his significant attentional issues.

Jack was consistently gentle and kind, which helped him establish a very good rapport with our son leading him to start to engage with the subject. Jack was very open to our input, such as providing easy to follow response structures for our son to follow, very easy to deal with, and has a strong grasp of the subject given his own academic background.

As a result of this intervention, our son`s grades finally stabilised and he eventually achieved a 6 and an 8 in English language and literature - grades that were once unthinkable.

Jack is an outstanding individual. Highly intelligent and articulate, he is also most patient, encouraging and personable. Therefore, for all these skills, Jack makes an excellent tutor. Jack's interests are wide-ranging, notably his expertise in literature and the theatre.
