I am an experienced local university lecturer (English) and part-time tutor, offering tutoring in English at GCSE and A level in the evenings and at weekends.
I have tutored a large number of students in the Warwickshire area, offering tutoring support in English Language and Literature.
One of my specialisms is Creative Writing, and I am a published author, contributing regular articles to magazines and newspapers.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
First and foremost, I tutor in English. I am familiar with the key exam boards - AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
I specialise in both English Language and Literature, and can offer support in creative writing, as well as analysis of poetry and media texts, as well as the core GCSE components of writing to describe, persuade, advise, and instruct.
I am familar with AS and A2 courses in Language Analysis.
I have had wide experience of the Literature syllabus at GCSE and A levels.
From time to time, I also offer tuition in Mathematics (to GCSE level). Again, I am familiar with Modular themes used by AQA, Edexcel and OCR, as well as Calculator, Non-Calculator and Foundation and Higher examinations.

I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in English Studies from Stirling University.

Normally I charge £25 per hour. I live in Allesley, Coventry, so do not normally charge for travel, within the West Midlands and Solihull areas.

I have tutored in the following locations: Coventry; Nuneaton; Kenilworth; Warwick; Solihull; Shirley; Leamington; Coleshill; and the South Birmingham areas.
I usually travel to students' homes.

Stuart was very kind and comprehensive. The lessons were very interesting and helpful, both in-person and online. In just under 2 months, he made me feel more confident about my analysis and creative writing techniques, and gave me plenty of tips to tackle my exams, even during that short timepsan. Would definitely recommend
I came across Stuart in July 2017, when I was looking for a GCSE English tutor for both ‘language and literature’
My son was due to start year 10 in Sept. 2017 and have his English Literature exam that year. We only had 8 months to prepare him.
English was my son’s least favourite and he struggled with it but Stuart made lessons interesting and come to life by talking through the topic during each lesson.
Stuart’s forte lies in ‘Creative writing’. He supports students by setting them creative writing task in each lesson, He introduces new and exciting ‘buzz’ words and encourages them to use these regularly. This made a huge difference to my son. It built his confidence, motivated him and gave him tools for his work.
Our tutor has really helped him with both - exam technique and boost his overall confidence.
Thank you so much for all your help and Support. :)
