About Stacey
I offer a 20 minute free consultation prior to the free first lesson so we can discuss your tuition requirements, exam board, etc.
I am a highly experienced and fully qualified English teacher of 17 years and I have tutored many along the way with great success: 95% of my short term tutees and 100% of my long term tutees achieve their target grade or higher with an average grade improvement of 2.4. I taught a large number of students with additional learning needs until recently and have great experience in this area, particularly with those with ASD/ADHD and dyslexia. However, the majority of my teaching career had been teaching KS3 and KS4 English in mainstream education, with a specialism for teaching students who are more able. I am now providing tuition full time, alongside my business. I have been an examiner for the WJEC (Eduqas) for English Language Units 1 and 2 since 2017 and this is the best way to understand how to teach to achieve certain grades and how to specifically answer reading questions and approach writing tasks effectively. I am also an English Literature examiner for AQA. I have experience teaching or tutoring with OCR, Cambridge, WJEC, Eduqas, Edexcel and AQA and my examining knowledge is easily transferable. I'm a punctuation nerd and enjoy finding novel ways to teach this to young people both when I'm teaching/tutoring. I love to teach accuracy in punctuation and sentence construction as well as reading skills such as inference and deduction. I have a passion for teaching English literature and have extensive experience teaching 'Macbeth', 'Of Mice and Men', 'An Inspector Calls', 'Heroes', 'A Christmas Carol', 'A View from the Bridge', 'Animal Farm', 'I'm the King of the Castle', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Things Fall Apart' and poetry. I also have experience teaching 'Jekyll and Hyde', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Holes', 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time', 'The Woman in Black', 'Smith', 'Skellig' and 'Pie in the Sky' among many others. I can teach any text and learn quickly.

My motto is 'You can and you will': I use this and other motivational concepts/quotes to help bolster young people's confidence and self-belief. It has transformed the education and results of many students over the years with some 'less able' students achieving two grades higher than predicted. I use whatever analogy works e.g. comparing football to studying or linking working hard now to working less hard later in life when you can choose your hours and be paid more with the correct education/experience. 66% of my 'less able' classes achieved grades C-B (6-7) in recent years. They came to me dejected and felt everyone around them had decided they were never going to achieve highly or attain pass grades but they did! I have helped many students achieve A/A* grades also, which is a huge success. Two boys with ASD that I taught achieved grades B-A (7-8) in English Literature which was a massive achievement for them as they began school in a specialist unit and weren't expected to be able to access GCSE level. My acronyms for helping students remember everything and the visual way in which I teach English. There is a misconception that ‘you can’t revise for English’ or it’s a talent rather than a learned skill. Neither is true and I’ve helped thousands of students see this over the last 17 years. My students say that I’m approachable, funny and that I push them to work hard and achieve highly. It all starts with self-belief and developing confidence. I love interacting with students and knowing that I can ensure success and grade improvement, as I have with all of the students I have tutored so far. This can happen surprisingly quickly - in just a few weeks/months. So, if you're looking to turn around a disappointing mock or GCSE actual result, please send me a message. My sessions book up quickly but I hope to be able to help you. I have daytime availability for students who are homeschooled/on the EOTAS pathway.
