What Do I Teach?
At English Home Studies, I provide expert tuition in Functional Skills, Upper KS2 - GCSE English Language and Literature and the 11+ and 13+ Common Entrance Exams.
EHS Shop
I specialise in AQA English Language and Literature but am familiar with all exam boards, such as Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas.
As I'm fully booked for 1:1 English tuition until June 2025, I also make digital and printable ebooks and activity packs so that I can continue to help students of all ages to practise and develop their English knowledge and skills.
For students of GCSE AQA English Language, I have also created some digital and printable guides to Paper 1 and Paper 2 which contain the detailed strategies I share with my Year 10 and 11 tutees in their online lessons. For more information, please visit my shop.

I am delighted to have received many fantastic reviews from my previous, happy customers (and can produce the original texts, emails and letters from these clients upon request).
