1:1 tuition for GCSE/IGCSE English Language and Literature

Each session is tailored to the individual student, allowing for meaningful progress and focused, supportive guidance.

Sometimes students benefit from individual attention to build confidence, revisit key skills, or prepare at their own pace. Our one-to-one sessions are designed to meet those needs with tailored support.

Alongside my group sessions, I offer optional one-to-one tuition for students already enrolled in my IGCSE English Language courses. These personalised sessions allow students to receive targeted support, and group students are given priority when booking.

1:1 lessons provide a focused space to tackle specific challenges—whether it’s refining exam technique, revisiting a topic covered in class, reviewing mock exam feedback, or strengthening core skills such as analysis or extended writing.

Together, we identify the areas that need attention and work through them at a pace that suits the student.

These sessions are ideal for:

  • Reviewing feedback in more detail

  • Reworking or redrafting a written response

  • Targeting the areas of weakness

  • Building confidence in reading or writing skills

Why choose 1:1 tuition?

While group sessions offer valuable opportunities for discussion, shared ideas, and exam-focused teaching, sometimes a more personalised approach is what’s needed. One-to-one tuition gives students the time and space to focus on their individual challenges, with lessons tailored entirely to their pace, goals and learning style.

Whether it's building confidence, revisiting tricky topics, or preparing for a specific assessment, 1:1 support allows us to dig deeper and adapt instantly to what the student needs most. It's especially helpful for tackling issues that might not get as much attention in a group setting—without the pressure of keeping up or holding back others.

Zoe played a pivotal role in my GCSEs when studying English Literature and English Language, and I went on to further study English Literature at A Level. She always made our classes interesting, insightful and really encouraged autonomy after guidance. When I would struggle with something, she would spend time going over the concepts and always looked after our various needs as students. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Meet your tutor

Hi, I’m Zoe, the founder of Charles Education. With 24 years of teaching experience and a background as a qualified examiner, I help students master the skills they need for success in English Language and Literature. I know what examiners are looking for, and I use that knowledge to guide students clearly and confidently through their GCSE journey.

What sets my teaching apart is more than subject expertise.

I focus on building self-belief, creating a calm and supportive learning environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn without fear. My lessons are designed to meet each learner where they are, whether they’re aiming for a secure pass or pushing for a top grade.

Learning with me means clear structure, expert feedback, and support that goes beyond the classroom. Students feel more confident, more capable, and more in control of their progress.

Let’s talk

If you’re looking for high-quality, emotionally intelligent tuition that supports your child academically and personally, I’d love to hear from you.
