Personal Description:

For several years now I have successfully tutored young students in literacy for KS1, 2 and 3 and for GCSE and A levels in English Language and English Literature, Business Studies, Media and Social Sciences. I have also had some adult learners.
I travel throughout North Norfolk including: Cromer, Fakenham, Holt, Swaffam, Watton, Thetford, Norwich and surrounding areas.

Tutoring Experience:

My experience is largely on 'one to one' tuition, though I have also worked with classes in a private learning centre. I have been particularly successful helping students to improve their GCSE grade. Most of my GCSE students improved their mock grade or exam grade having done resits or progressed from Foundation to Higher papers. I am now helping year 10 and 11 students with the new GCSE English syllabus. I have had very good results too with under-achieving SATs students and some with special needs.

Tutoring Approach:

I am enthusiastic and committed to my students. I want only for the student to be successful and whilst learning is not always about exam results they are important of course. I concentrate on working with the student's perceived weaknesses and on common exam mistakes. Additionally, I always revise the main elements of the syllabus and give the student plenty of practice with examples of written work. I tutor at the student's home address. I have excellent references from all of my many clients and First Tutors client's feedback is given below. I also hold a DBS certificate which is available for inspection.

From Kathy (5/5): (GCSE English) Richard started working with my son Sam back in September. They met once a week to revise for his English Language and Literature exam. Sam found it easy to talk to Richard and his understanding of the subject, which he doesn't particularly enjoy, improved greatly. Sam was set some homework and it was then extremely useful to have one to one time to receive feedback on his work and advise on how to improve it. From his mock at the end of year 10 to his mock in year 11 he had achieved 2 grades higher. He is due to take his final exam next week.

Reply from Richard: Thank you for your detailed comments. I wish Sam all the best with his GCSEs
and in his future career. It was a pleasure to work with him.

From Helen (5/5): (GCSE English) Richard has helped my son to increase his English scores by 4 complete levels over this year. He is calm and patient and understands teenage boys. He also spotted that our son suffered from Merles Irlen syndrome and needed a coloured overlay. Thanks Richard.

Reply from Richard: Thanks for your feedback, Helen. Glad to be of service and I wish Joe well in the future.

From Chit (5/5): (Secondary English) He is a professional ,great teacher and I highly recommend him .

Reply from Richard: Thank you, - I am grateful for your comments.

From Bridget (5/5): (GCSE English) Richard, was a most professional tutor - arriving on time, polite, friendly and connected well with my daughter. Hannah told me that Richard was of great help to her and certainly gave her much more confidence with her English, ready for GCSE's - Hannah had missed a month and a half of school, so was behind in her work. Thankyou, Richard.

From Amaan (5/5): (A-Level English) Richard has helped me so much! He's a great teacher and really explains and gives relevant examples of everything he explains and has really instilled the confidence that I was lacking heading into my exams and has been a great help and would recommend him to anyone!

Reply from Richard: Thanks, Amaan. This is very flattering - but I won't argue with a word of it!

From Michael (5/5): (Casual Learner English) Richard is a excellent teacher very patient and understanding
