About Viv
I have been teaching for 30 years and have been tutoring GCSE English at home in the UK and online for the past 10 years.
*For the past 10 years I have taught many GCSE students here who have come from state schools and private schools and have had tremendous success with passes for all. Last year I even had a 27-year-old student for a few lessons who never managed to pass his English despite 3 attempts. He ended up with a grade 5.
** Many students have come to me in September on a grade 2 and have all achieved passes in the GCSE. It is possible with the right support!!
*One-to-one tutoring isn't only about imparting knowledge; it's about connection and the ability to understand what approach is needed for the individual student.
*Fundamental is confidence, belief and motivation and this is what I try to build in every student.
*From my experience tutoring privately and working in schools overseas (in Japan, Singapore, Italy and Moscow) I have gained valuable expertise, sensitivity and insight in teaching all levels, backgrounds and abilities.

** I specialise in teaching English Language and Literature for GCSE**
** I am a top-rated and very experienced GCSE tutor **
** I have an empathetic, calm, patient and intuitive approach and believe in gently encouraging and motivating all learners to achieve their potential.
** I particularly enjoy teaching those who don't really love English and may have struggled with English; those who find it boring; those who just need to get over the line; those who don't know what to do to achieve those higher grades; those who feel they can't keep up at school; those who need to ensure a top grade and need to learn to structure and craft their essays to showcase their abilities; and those who just need a little boost and direction to help them improve.
** I teach English Language and Literature and am familiar with the mark schemes and exam format of all the exam boards. I thoroughly know the texts and exam requirements for: Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, Lord of the Flies, various poetry anthologies and many 'unseen' poems for practice.
** To accompany my lessons I have written many guides and notes for revision purposes.
** I have a small number of spaces available after the 2026 GCSEs are over.
**I accept students in Year 10 and 11.
