Private English Tuition
High Standards Scholarship Joy in Learning
Personalised one-to-one English tuition for 11 to 18 year olds from GCSE to A Level and the IB Diploma Encouraging, methodical and proven
A Deliberate, Dependable Approach to English
I am a dedicated teacher with a commitment to high standards, scholarship and joy in the classroom. Professional profiling has defined me as deliberate, dependable, methodical, listening and kind. These are the qualities I bring to my lessons.
I work through principles of encouragement, careful modelling and finely tailored support. Every pupil is different, and I build lessons around individual needs, learning styles and goals.
With a proven track record of success in examination results, I offer families the confidence that comes from experience, rigour and genuine care.

What Parents Say
Real results, real confidence.
Our time with Julian was an absolute pleasure and a wonderful experience, for which we are forever grateful. We wholeheartedly recommend him to any families looking for tutoring of their children.
Julian's gentle, calm but challenging style worked very well with our son. He was much more confident going into the exams.
Julian provided thoughtful, helpful steers which provoked and stimulated a healthy debate on the material. His route map through structure and themes was especially helpful with the more challenging poetry.
