I have a conflagrating passion for my subject and always endeavour to transmit that to a learner, irrespective of circumstances.

I am an interactive tutor who favours an approach tailored to the student's needs. I create bespoke worksheets which encourage analytical thinking which traverses the pre-conceived textbook boundaries of the system. This builds a greater understanding of tasks and prepares the learner to think more outside the proverbial box.

Steven Ilchester is a thorough, versatile tutor who puts you at ease when you are apprehensive or completely at a loss and then he encourages you to exceed your potential. He completely transformed me through A-Level English Literature, especially with his insight into Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. I understand the importance of allegories now because of Steven. He guided me through university as well and taught me how to structure my essays and interact with my research documents. Steven is a consummate professional.
I have known Steven Lennon Ilchester for over twenty years. He has assisted me and my business in a capacity of a freelance writer and editor and has conducted an array of marketing case studies for my various business conferences. Steven has also tutored my now adult daughter, having assisted her in her GCSE, A-Level, and further education studies. Steven is a diligent professional who ensures that every last detail of a project is meticulously adhered to and he is also a creative person with a deep outlook and passion for his subjects of expertise. His knowledge of grammar and nous for literature have been key to ensuring my daughter developed a focus for her subjects and a tenacious demeanour in the face of adversity.
My son, Kit, was almost certainly going to fail his English GCSE when a chance meeting put me in touch with Steven Ilchester.
At the time Kit hated English, had a mental block about writing and did not understand any of his set pieces - the poems, books and plays.
Steven tutored him at our house for over a year. He took Kit back to the basics of grammar, explained everything he could in detail, talked to him like an adult, never made him feel like his views and opinions were unworthy and, gradually, beat down the opposition to English that Kit had nurtured for years in the school system.
He helped to develop in Kit an enquiring mind and gave him essay writing skills which he was able to apply to the set pieces of literature and language work. The end result was that Kit achieved a Level 5 in his English GCSE, which was absolutely amazing to us as a family and to Kit for his self esteem and future life.
Steven Ilchester was worth every penny that we spent on him gracing our kitchen with his presence and patiently endeavouring to inspire our son. I shall always be extremely grateful to him and I would unreservedly recommend him as a tutor.
Yours sincerely,
Claire Camble.I would never have passed my first year of university studies in English and Drama had it not been for Steven's wholehearted dedication to addressing the multitude of stumbling blocks before me. He not only guided me in presenting more structured assignments but encouraged me to think outside the box and provide more insightful arguments to my array of analytical reasoning. I wouldn't be where I am today, embarking upon postgraduate studies without Steven's excellently structured tutorials.
Steven is a knowledgeable and versatile professional who goes the extra mile in his tutorials and ensures that every concept is understood. His ability to contextualise the essence of a particular assignment gives him the extra edge and instils a tremendous degree of confidence in one as a student. Steven has a disarming skill in breaking down the intricacies of grammar so that any confusion one might have had is swiftly nullified. He really cares about his subject, English, and his passion is contagious.
I hired Steve previously to improve my public speaking confidence...
He is an excellent as well as knowledgeable teacher. Thanks to his lessons I have greatly achieved my goal.
I cannot recommend Steve highly enough...
