Tamara Rufus-IsaacsOnline GCSE English tutor

Hello, I am an experienced former secondary school teacher with a degree in English, and I'm passionate about helping young people feel more confident in their English studies.

After many years of working in education, I've chosen to teach through personalised one-to-one tuition. I believe that every learner is different, and that progress happens when a student feels understood, supported and empowered.

My approach is calm, encouraging and tailored to the individual. I like to focus on the whole learner, not just what is going to satisfy a mark scheme. I hope to instil a sense of curiosity and wonder to aid a genuine understanding in what the student is learning. I meet students where they are at and travel a balanced path to help them work towards their goals.

I offer support with GCSE English Language and Literature, including essay structure, analytical writing, language analysis, literature texts, exam technique and developing confident, independent responses.

I also have extensive experience supporting learners with SEN and students who are home-educated. I understand that a traditional classroom does not work for every young person.

My aim isn't simply to help students achieve a grade. It's to help them understand, make progress and discover that they are capable of more than they thought.

Kindness. Empowerment. Opportunity.
