My students know me as Ms Brown
"I would highly recommend Ms Brown as a tutor because of her patience, dedication, and ability to adapt her teaching to each student's needs. Her guidance has genuinely made a lasting impact on my abilities and confidence in English."
— Arya, IB Student
“We were delighted to have Ms Brown as our daughter’s English teacher for her IGCSEs. Our daughter was hoping to study English at A level and has a real passion for the subject. Ms Brown was excellent: she spotted straight away the interest that our daughter had and – where she could have been left to coast – really stretched her to ensure that she did the very best she possibly could. She gave constructive feedback that helped her improve and worked with her to build on her strengths. Her teaching style is both engaging and supportive. I feel confident that Ms Brown has made a real difference and, as a result, our daughter has secured an English scholarship at the school she will move to this September.”

“Alice is one of the best practitioners I have ever worked with. The ease in which she teaches and helps all students to achieve their best is what we all aspire towards. Students respect her plethora of knowledge, but also feel at ease with her and can engage in productive conversations to ensure their own understanding of both content and skills. She has a particular specialism in preparing students for exam years."
— Teacher of English
"Alice’s leadership style combines empathy with a pragmatic knowledge of what students need to succeed. She knows the exam specifications inside out and is able to design a curriculum which ensures that all students in her care can access and thrive in English. Her knowledge and passion for teaching mean that students enjoy her lessons and trust her to achieve the best possible grades."
— Head of English
“Working closely with Alice highlighted to me that she truly is an expert practitioner. She has outstanding subject knowledge which she communicates with passion and warmth; tailoring her approach to meet the needs of each student. I have witnessed Alice's success; watching her support many students to reach or exceed their goals in a wide range of English curricula.”

“Initially, I didn’t see the benefit of planning my essays and thought I could just go ahead and write them. Ms Brown’s approach helped me understand the merit of mapping out my arguments and I saw the results on the exams as I felt more able to write clearly and quickly. We also looked at a lot of past papers and focused on specific points that examiners like (e.g. analytical adverbs) which I think helped bring up my grade and allowed me to broaden our approach to the text.”
— Zoe, IGCSE Student“The quality that pushes me to recommend Ms. Brown as a teacher is her overall passion for teaching and literature. Ms. Brown's teaching techniques are centred in the success of her students, and therefore create an environment filled with the desire for success in the students themselves, creating a high level of discipline, skill, and understanding throughout the course.”
