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

About Victoria

As a fully-qualified teacher, I have been teaching English for 23 years, specialising in English Literature A Level and helping hundreds of students to ace their qualifications. This has included successfully coaching students applying for Oxbridge and Russell Group university places in the subject.

I am highly experienced in teaching English GCSEs and can offer targeted support on content and skills across the exam boards: AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR and WJEC/Eduqas.

I held the role of A Level English Literature Course Leader at a sixth form college, plus I have worked as an A Level English Literature examiner for AQA for ten years.

In addition to this, I am also a poet and my work can be found in leading UK journals.

I am educated to MA level, having attained two Masters degrees, the most recent in Creative Writing.

About the lesson

I can help you lay a foundation of real confidence and creativity in this subject, so that you meet your targets, and possibly even surprise yourself by exceeding them. Students quickly start to feel the pressure lifting as they work with me and they find themselves enjoying the subject much more.

In particular, we can develop your essay structuring, exam strategies, textual understanding and writing powers. Having taught hundreds of students and assessed thousands of essays, I have a deep and practical understanding of what an excellent essay looks like, plus some powerful tips and tricks which can shift your work to the next level.

I really enjoy seeing students flourish and shine in this subject. Do get in touch if you’d like to find out more and I’ll be happy to discuss your needs.

Perfect! Your ability to engage with Ruby and encourage her to think independently has been remarkable. I have been impressed with the way you have approached the poems with her, with maturity and thoughtfulness. You have given her valuable pointers on what to do to prepare for her exam.

Your professionalism and communication skills are also outstanding. You have been prompt and clear in your responses to my messages. I would highly recommend you as a tutor to anyone looking for exceptional support for their child's education. Thank you again for all your hard work, and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.

Ruby did very well in her sessions with me. She was very positive, mature and curious about the poems and the poets' messages. She was also able to dig deeper and uncover some of the more subtle implied ideas that the authors were communicating. To develop even further, Ruby might work on further building her vocabulary and essay-writing skills. We didn't get a chance to talk about reading, but I would also recommend that she reads her own fiction and non-fiction books for pleasure to boost her language capabilities even more. Overall, I think she is on track to do very well as she goes forward.

McCormack was developing a very exciting and rich body of ideas in preparation for his MA dissertation. My main advice for McCormack going forward was to keep his notes in an orderly divided notebook which will form a very rough first draft of his final piece and enable him to begin shaping it at this stage. It looks very promising indeed and I would expect his final piece to be a very high quality investigation.

I've known Victoria for a few years now as we worked together in a Further Education college. She's an experienced English teacher who loves her subject and cares deeply about her learners.
One of her main skills is that she's able to nurture the talent in her students, raise their confidence levels and makes them believe in themselves. She does this with kindness and a deep sense of professionalism. She prepares her teaching and learning materials with each individual student's needs in mind and focuses on the goal at hand.

Victoria tutored me from Year 7 to 11 and helped me prepare for my GCSEs in English Language and English Literature where I obtained an A and A* respectively.
Victoria is patient and alters her teaching to suit that of the student's. I definitely grew more confident in my writing and gained an understanding of what examiners wanted.
I have no doubt that Victoria's many years of experience in tutoring will be beneficial to students who require that extra push to achieve the top grades or exceed their target grade, including at A Level.
