Oxford-educated, examiner-led English teaching for GCSE, iGCSE and A Level students and live online courses for home-educated learners.

Claire is a current AQA A Level and Edexcel iGCSE English examiner. Students learn exactly what the mark scheme rewards and how to deliver it in the exam.
With over twenty years in the classroom and an Oxford English degree, Claire gets straight to what matters. Lessons are focused and purposeful, with no wasted time.
Students grow in confidence, learn to think for themselves and find their own voice. The skills they build in English, from clear analysis to well-structured essays, carry across into every other subject.

All lessons take place live on Pencil Spaces, a dedicated online classroom with video, audio and a fully interactive whiteboard. Every session is recorded.
Each student also has their own personal space and whiteboard, open between lessons, for homework, notes and Claire's feedback.
