    WHAT'S IN A GOOD BOOK?

    Everything!

    We believe that everyone has the ability to harness the power of language. Whether you're preparing for your GCSE English exams, studying GCSE English language, or are an adult learner, let's connect and turn 'can' into 'did'! Together, we can explore GCSE poetry and delve into the works of GCSE Shakespeare.

    Founder:

    Nick has been a secondary English teacher and tutor for over 20 years, specializing in GCSE English language and literature. In that time, he's helped hundreds of students across Sussex and Surrey to achieve their goals, particularly in preparation for their GCSE exams. He'd love to help you to do the same with your GCSE English lessons. Nick combines hands-on experience in mainstream, independent, and special needs education, underpinned by postgraduate research at leading UK universities, including topics like GCSE poetry and GCSE Shakespeare. His dedication to teaching has been recognized by OFSTED, West Sussex County Council, and the Good Schools Guide.

    Our Expertise:

    With over twenty years of teaching experience, I have developed a strong foundation in guiding students through their GCSE English language studies. I hold a postgraduate degree from Cambridge in Educational Practice, where I earned a distinction for my work on digital learning design, which has been particularly beneficial in enhancing GCSE English lessons. Additionally, I have a postgraduate degree from Edinburgh in Digital Education, receiving a distinction for my research into AI and its applications in teaching. My studies also include a postgraduate degree from Leicester in Learning Technologies, where I achieved a distinction for my work in systems architecture. I possess an Undergraduate Certificate in the Psychology of Learning from the University of London, equivalent to a 1:1 degree. Furthermore, I graduated with a first-class undergraduate degree and PGCE from Sussex. Currently, I serve as a Learning & Development Associate with the CiPD and also work as a GCSE English Language Examiner for AQA, where I assess students on their understanding of GCSE poetry and GCSE Shakespeare, ensuring they meet the standards required for their GCSE exams.
