About Me

26 Years Teaching

Hi, I'm Jacqueline

I'm an experienced IGCSE and A-Level English tutor and a teacher with twenty-six years in the classroom. I’ve taught English at every level, up to Shakespeare and A-Level, and I use what those years have taught me to help every student I work with.

My Story

Teaching From the Inside Out

I’ve spent twenty-six years teaching English, and in that time I’ve marked thousands of pieces of student work. That is where the teaching comes from — not from theory, but from watching the same handful of mistakes cost students marks, year after year.

My lessons are built around the real-world realities of the exam: what examiners notice first, the common mistakes that cost students marks, and the techniques that consistently earn top scores.

My Teaching Approach

Every student is different — my lessons are tailored to you.

🎯 Classroom-Led Insight

I don’t guess what costs students marks — twenty-six years of marking their work has shown me. My lessons are built on that, not on a textbook.

👤 Personalised Sessions

Every lesson is tailored to your specific weaknesses, strengths, and target grade. No generic teaching — just what you need.

📈 Results-Focused

Everything I teach is designed to move the needle on your grade. Practical, proven techniques that make a measurable difference.
