About Adam
I am an experienced English tutor and study skills coach with a calm, friendly and supportive teaching style. I specialise in helping students build confidence in GCSE English Language and Literature, particularly when exams feel close or overwhelming.
My background includes online tutoring, academic support and working with students who need clear, practical guidance. I enjoy breaking difficult tasks into manageable steps, whether that means understanding a Shakespeare extract, improving essay structure, analysing quotations, or learning how to approach exam questions more confidently.
I want to teach because I enjoy seeing students realise that they are more capable than they thought. Many students simply need the right explanation, the right structure and a patient tutor who can guide them carefully. My lessons are focused, encouraging and designed to help students make real progress while feeling supported.

My tutoring style is friendly, encouraging and highly focused. I specialise in helping GCSE English students improve their confidence, exam technique and written responses in both English Language and Literature. I use this approach with my university students as well.
Lessons are carefully planned around the individual student. I use clear modelling, structured worksheets, quotation practice, paragraph-building, vocabulary work and exam-style questions to help students understand exactly how to improve. I believe students make the best progress when they feel calm, supported and clear about what the examiner is looking for.
A typical lesson lasts one hour and includes a balance of discussion, guided practice and independent writing. I work with students across a range of abilities, from those needing to secure the basics to ambitious students aiming for Grades 7–9.

Adam has been my study skills tutor for nearly three years and has helped me immensely. He has an amazing ability to help organise thoughts into an actual piece of work, great to bounce ideas off. He has a contagious positive attitude when it comes to learning which is very motivating. He is friendly and I can tell he genuinely cares about his work.
I had Adam as a study skills tutor and he was incredibly helpful in guiding me to learn new and bolster existing skills I needed to help me revise and study effectively. He is incredibly personable and kind, and he always tailored his support around my learning style and abilities. I can't recommend him enough, he has been incredibly helpful to me.
Adam has been my DSA tutor throughout my second and third years studying Marketing at university, and we meet weekly. He has been a huge help in keeping me organised and on track with assignments.
What I appreciate most is how approachable and relaxed he is. Sessions feel more like a conversation with a mate than formal tutoring, making it easy to ask questions and work through challenges. He is also excellent at breaking down assignment briefs into smaller, manageable tasks.
Throughout my degree, Adam has helped me plan and structure coursework, making complex assignments feel much less overwhelming. His support has improved both my confidence and productivity.
I would highly recommend Adam to any student looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor.Adam was my DSA university study skills tutor for 2 years at Aberystwyth University.
He was great at helping me with proofreading my work and helping me clarify my ideas.
He was integral to helping me with the academic stresses of university and thriving during my time at university.See more recommendations
