About Alison
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been tutoring for 7 years and have continually improved students grades. After a period working in managing West End Theatres, I moved back to the love I have for my subject-English. I retrained as an English teacher and as well as school experience, I have also had a lot of experience working with Hong Kong students on UK Summer Schools, improving their English and introducing them to English culture through Literature.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I have tutored 4 students for English Language A2 for both the AQA specifications, all wanted to achieve A or B and all have made massive advances in their work towards that goal. One of these students was tutored online via Skype.
I have tutored 3 students for AS and A2 English Literature this year, covering the AQA, OCR and Edexcel syllabi and topics such as, Love through the Ages; A sense of Place and the poetry of Wilfred Owen with Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. 2 achieved A grades after being predicted C/B.
I have amassed experience teaching GCSE English for AQA, Edexcel and WJEC.

I am so thankful we managed to find Alison in the last six weeks prior to my daughters AS exam.
Alison worked with my daughter on her essay writing skills, essay planning and working on timed essay writing as well as exam technique.
Alison was always encouraging, approachable, well prepared for each session and flexible in trying to fit in sessions around a busy school schedule.
Finding English Literature a difficult subject to revise for, Alison also guided her in planning her revision time.View more recommendations
