Doctorate level English GCSE/A level & IB tutor with PGCE. Extensive experience and proven record of high achieving students. 

Belinda tutored both of my sons through their English GCSEs, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She is warm, kind, caring, and incredibly approachable, which made such a difference, especially as both of my boys are very practical learners and didn’t naturally enjoy the academic side of school.
Belinda has a real gift for understanding how each individual learns. She supported my son with autism and dyslexia by using visual references and drawing on his personal interests, creating a transferable template that genuinely made sense to him. It was the first time he felt that learning was accessible rather than overwhelming.
In fact, he often said that working with Belinda was the only part of his education that he truly enjoyed.
Thanks to her support, both of my sons achieved the grades they needed. More importantly, she helped build my son’s confidence and belief in himself, something that has stayed with him. He has since gone on to succeed in life and now runs his own business, and I truly believe Belinda played an important role in that journey.
She is an exceptional tutor and a genuinely lovely person.

I would like to strongly recommend Belinda as she has taught my son and my 2 daughters over a 6 year period. They all got 2 grade 9s in both Language and Literature GCSE despite being very different students. My son is neurodivergent and yet she found a way to focus his strengths to get grades well above our expectations.

Belinda is a dedicated and responsible teacher with a wealth of experience. Under her guidance, both my sons have made significant progress and gotten 9s in Language and Literature - we feel very fortunate to have her support.

I really highly recommend Belinda as a teacher.

The quotes and analysis we reviewed together in our final few lessons just before my Higher IB exam were incredibly helpful—thank you!

Also, I just want to say a big thank you for all your support and IB teaching over the past three years. I’ve learned so much from your classes, and I’m grateful for the consistent guidance and encouragement throughout this course!!!

Belinda has tutored all three of my sons over a period of nearly 10 years and I cannot recommend her strongly enough. She adapted her teaching approach to each of my boys and they all gained or exceeded their GCSE target grades with 2 getting 9s for both Language and Literature
