Meet Your English Tutor
Personalised 1:1 English Tuition for KS2 - GCSE Students
Welcome to English Home Studies.
I’m Catherine - an experienced English tutor, former secondary teacher and the founder of EHS Masterclass.
I specialise in delivering structured, high-support English tuition for families who want more than “just another tutor."
With 25 years’ experience and a passion for helping students thrive, I’ve developed the EHS Masterclass: a step-by-step, premium pathway that guides each student through the exact skills and strategies they need for exam success and lifelong confidence.
My Story
My teaching career began in Paris, helping French and Italian colleagues master English.
After qualifying in the UK, I spent a decade in secondary classrooms, then moved into private tuition to deliver the kind of individual support that makes a real difference.
Since 2019, I’ve worked exclusively online, connecting with students across the UK and internationally.
