About Kate
I graduated from Warwick University with a First in English and Theatre Studies before embarking on a career in Education, fulfilling roles such as Year 7 Leader, Progress Leader, Lead Teacher in Drama and Head of Department in both English and Drama.
I thoroughly enjoy helping students achieve their full potential in the subjects that I am so passionate about. I love being able to use my experience, expertise and knowledge to not only help students make rapid progress against their targets, but also develop a genuine interest in language and literature.
Testimonials:
‘I would like to express my thanks as your tutoring has proven extremely beneficial to my analytical skills and exam method. Additionally, I am certain that without your excellent feedback and knowledge I would have most likely not been able to get several extra marks.’
I have an up-to-date DBS certificate.

I taught English and Drama in secondary schools for ten years (achieving a High Qualified Teacher Status), most recently undertaking the role of Head of English and Drama, and began tutoring last year.
I have a wealth of experience teaching the following qualifications, but can also assist with other specifications/exam boards if required:
AQA English Language GCSE
AQA English Literature GCSE
OCR English Literature A Level
Edexcel Drama GCSE
I pride myself on being able to support students to achieve their full potential through a positive and encouraging approach with a keen focus on continual progress. My teaching style is driven by verbal as well as written feedback and I create tutoring sessions which are specifically tailored to suit a student’s individual targets.
Having partaken and overseen the marking of numerous exam-style assessments in order to determine grades during the pandemic, I have an extremely thorough understanding of the mark schemes of the stated specifications, given the extensive training I undertook during this process.
I also have experience of both teaching small classes and tutoring individuals for exam retakes, facilitating rapid progress over a short amount of time through tailored feedback and intervention.
One hour online sessions are priced at £45; these will take place on Google Meet and we will use Google documents to enable immediate feedback. In-person sessions can be arranged within the area of Epsom for the same price.
Recommendations

Kate is a fantastic English tutor. We worked together at a school where Kate did an incredible job as Head of English, getting above average GCSE results year-on-year. Kate is very organised, tailors her sessions to meet the student's individual needs, and provides detailed and timely feedback. Students make excellent progress under Kate's guidance and expertise. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
The Head of Academics at my daughter’s school recommended Kate to us but also my eldest daughter spoke very highly of her, she had her as a teacher at school.
My daughter doesn’t find English easy but Kate has given her so much more confidence through her positive encouragement this year. According to her school’s end of term reports my daughter has improved by 2 GCSE grades with Kate’s tutoring. Kate is very organised with her lessons and plans ahead what they need to cover. The homework fits with what is covered and is always marked in detail with actions for improvement coming from it. She gives great feedback that encourages but also makes clear what she needs to improve. My daughter looks forward to the lessons and always comes away feeling positive. Kate is professional, engaging and friendly. She clearly knows her subject inside and out and transfers this at an appropriate level.
My daughter describes her as ‘amazing, thoughtful and kind’. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kate as an English tutor.Kate is an excellent tutor. She even managed to get my monosyllabic child, who does not enjoy English at all, to make significant progress. The quality and detail of her feedback is quite exceptional too.
I worked with Kate for a number of years when she was a full time English teacher. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she worked tirelessly with our pupils to achieve outstanding English GCSE results. SInce she left full time teaching, we have continued to contract with Kate as a tutor online and will do so in the future.
As a former colleague of Kate, I would highly recommend her as a tutor. Kate is a brilliant teacher of English and drama whose lessons are highly engaging. She has a track record of significantly improving pupil outcomes. Kate has a wealth of experience working with pupils with differing prior attainments and needs and helping them to achieve and exceed their goals.
Kate tutored both my boys for their English GSCEs. She gave them a great amount of structure and help so they could develop their full potential in terms of analytical and writing skills. She is a kind and encouraging tutor who provides great resources and feedback.
