What’s Included with my Weekly Classes?

Weekly Live Lessons

All my classes take place via Zoom. Performing well In GCSE English requires consistent effort and I tailor my classes to encourage weekly progression and improvement amongst our students.

8 Students Per Class

My classes are limited in number. There are no more than eight students per class maximum. Students are active during the class and receive feedback in every class.

Exam-Focused Teaching

I cover all the main aspects of the AQA English Language GCSE curriculum including vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension skills and creative and transactional writing.

Weekly Notes

Students are provided with exam focused notes on a weekly basis to support what was learned in class and to assist them in their revision and understanding of the topics covered.

Regular Parent Updates

Parents are regularly updated on their child's progress via WhatsApp and email. Parents are welcome to contact me if they have a query or concern about their child's progress,

Peer Learning

Students benefit from peer learning while also receiving individual attention when required. Group interaction is encouraged so students, in addition to learning from a highly experienced teacher, also benefit massively from engaging with their peers.

Homework

A small amount of homework is given each week to reinforce what is taught in class. Feedback is provided to support student progress and learning.

Assessments

Assessments occur at Christmas and Easter, with additional evaluations in May. Parents receive written feedback on areas for improvement.

Built for Steady Progress

Like most skills, English improves with consistent practice. Your first session is a no-obligation trial. If you'd like to continue after that, you'll join the ongoing weekly group (£100/month, one month's notice to leave).

Testimonials

I am very pleased with the English classes for my daughter. Paul clearly explains what examiners want and how students can demonstrate these skills in their answers.

Jane, Parent

Paul provided support to my daughter for her English Language GCSE. His subject knowledge and ability to break down tasks made a real difference to her confidence and understanding.

Parent

Hi, I’m Paul Dutton

I’m a qualified English teacher and former GCSE examiner with more than 22 years of teaching experience.

I’ve helped more than 1000 students prepare for their GCSE English exams, and I know how confusing the subject can feel without clear guidance.

My approach focuses on showing students exactly how exams work and how to answer questions step-by-step. When students understand the process, their confidence grows — and so do their results.

All classes are taught by me in small groups (maximum of eight students), with weekly live sessions on Zoom, ensuring every student receives focused support and regular feedback.

Each year, I receive excellent feedback from both parents and students, with many achieving strong GCSE results through these methods.
