About GCSE English Revision Days:
I have been a full-time private tutor for over eight years providing both one to one and group tuition to hundreds of students in Guildford and the surrounding areas. I run these GCSE intensive revision courses in the school holidays as an alternative to my weekly one-to-one tuition sessions which are usually fully booked.All courses are suitable for both year 10 and year 11 students. Students are welcome to bring a light snack - still and sparkling water is provided. I provide all other resources. There is no obligation to attend every revision session - you can choose which areas you would like your child to improve depending of your their most recent mock result. I am happy to provide you with additional feedback after your child has attended the course and provide ideas for further targeted revision between now and their final GCSE exams.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
“My daughter has been tutored by Debbie for most of Yr 11. Emily really enjoys her lessons with Debbie and has developed a keen interest in English Literature and Language. Debbie has an excellent understanding of the curriculum and always finds ways to help Emily to develop and improve on test papers. Debbie has been invaluable to Emily's learning and we will continue with A levels.”

"Debbie has tutored my daughter since September to help with her GCSE's. Debbie has taught her new methods and techniques to use when answering GCSE questions more than any other teacher. She is supportive and explains everything clearly and calmly. As a parent, Debbie is just as supportive, I would definitely recommend her. Money well spent."
