International Students

Studying overseas brings incredible opportunities — but also unique challenges.

 

Whether your child is preparing to join a UK school or is already studying here, you may find that school reports keep highlighting the same difficulties with written responses in English, yet there never seems to be a clear plan to resolve them. It can be challenging to find a tutor who understands both your child’s current needs and the expectations of the British education system.

 

One of the biggest challenges for international students studying GCSE or A Level Business is developing the advanced skills of analysis and evaluation. These skills go far beyond simply recalling facts,  they require well-structured, high-level arguments that can be difficult to build in a second language. Strong written communication in English is essential, yet often underdeveloped, leaving students frustrated and unsure how to improve.

 

Having spent most of my career working in leading independent schools, I have extensive experience supporting international students to strengthen their academic English, build critical thinking skills, and develop strategies that lead to higher grades. I go beyond content revision to help students truly understand what examiners look for and how to achieve it.

 

Whatever your child's goals improving their writing or boosting subject understanding, I can provide a clear, structured plan that builds confidence and supports measurable progress. 

 

My approach is professional, outcomes-focused, and designed to give you clarity and peace of mind.  Whether your child would benefit from group tuition to develop knowledge and thinking skills, or individual sessions to strengthen their writing, I have a service that can meet their needs.

 

My diary is flexible, and I can accommodate working across most time zones.

"I have always felt I could come to you about anything which is something I have really valued."

GCSE Students

Is your child preparing for GCSE Business, but finding it hard to turn what they know into strong written answers?

 

Even if your child understands the subject well, it can feel overwhelming to structure exam responses in a way that consistently secures high marks. This is especially true for those longer, higher-mark questions where clarity, analysis, and evaluation matter so much.

 

With over a decade of experience as an examiner, I have a deep understanding of exactly what is required for success. Whether your child needs to build confidence in their subject knowledge or learn how to craft clear, high-level written responses, I can help them develop the skills and strategies that make a real difference in exam performance.

 

To explore how I can support your child to achieve their best possible grade in GCSE Business, a brief conversation is all it takes to get started.

"You really went above and beyond and I am very grateful."

A Level Students

 Is your child confident in their A Level Business knowledge but still struggling to lift their grades?

It’s very common for students to feel comfortable with the subject content, yet find those 10, 12, 20 and 25 mark essay questions much more challenging. High grades at A Level depend on mastering a specific writing technique and a level of evaluation that can be difficult to achieve, especially when feedback from doesn’t clearly explain what needs to change.

With nearly 20 years of experience teaching A Level Business, and over a decade as an examiner, I know exactly what examiners look for. Not only do I have deep subject expertise, but I can also help your child apply their knowledge in a way that meets the mark scheme and achieves higher grades. My industry background gives me an additional layer of insight to help students contextualise their answers with real-world thinking.

I specialise in identifying why written answers fall short and in giving students the skills and confidence to structure high-level, exam-ready responses.   I have experience supporting students with EDEXCEL, AQA and BTEC specifications

If you'd like to explore how I can help your child improve their writing and reach their full potential, I'd be happy to arrange a short call to discuss their needs. 

"I definitely wouldn’t be at the level I am without your incredible teaching."
