About Daniel

A highly accomplished English teacher with twenty-five years of classroom experience, I have taught a wide range of abilities in a variety of settings, in both independent and state schools, then at international institutions more recently. Whilst I was Head of English at one of Britain’s highest achieving departments for several years, our GCSE and A Level students regularly scored within the top ten candidates nationally. As such, I specialise in helping student attain excellent grades in public examinations, ensuring they are prepared for the next stage of their education. Since 2010 I have also tutored students on a one-to-one basis, increasingly moving sessions online to adapt to the needs and preferences of current learning methods. I have successfully taught dozens of tutees ahead of their selective entrance tests (formerly the 11+), including King’s Scholars at Eton. The majority of my tutees are drawn from Years 10-13, meaning that I am very familiar with the specifications of various exam boards. My other roles within the education sector include being an examiner for IB and A Level, a teacher-training assessor and ambassador for a prominent, prestigious debating society. Seeing as I am new to 'Superprof', my reviews from previous clients on other sites are available on request.

About the lesson

By teaching a technical approach to texts and essays, a tutee is soon able to develop a concise and cogent writing style, one which they can confidently apply under examination conditions. Knowing how to plan and adapt the question enables a student to start responses swiftly and strongly, feel replete with ideas and to target marks; oftentimes students say that they struggle to put their ideas down on paper, so being well prepared and fully informed of what the examiner is looking for is axiomatic. As well as drawing on a wealth of analytical terms, I teach students to be savvy about timings, avoid lapsing into narrative and reduce the burden of remembering long quotes. Similarly, I model creative writing skills which focus on how rather than what to write about, ensuring that work remains authentic and progressive. Lessons last between sixty to seventy minutes. All resources, marking of work and feedback between sessions is included. Happy to chat about your child's particular needs and interests before arranging a free trial.

I'm so grateful to Daniel for Tutoring my daughter from end Y10 - when most mock GCSEs were failed (I'd never even heard of a 'U' before!) - through to real GCSEs at the end of Y11, when all were passed, including some strong results in the subjects they wanted to pursue at A-Level. We were so chuffed! My teenager has ADD and struggles with exams, revision and time management. Daniel was able to help them identify revision strategies that worked for them and exam tactics that would help them achieve better results. He also really brought their subjects alive: especially English, Religious Studies, History and Media Studies - all bug bears - and I actually heard laughter and animated debate during tutorials instead of grumbles and gnashing of teeth. Thank you, Daniel!

I highly recommend Daniel for 11+ English preparation. My daughter’s confidence in reading comprehension, creative writing, and grammar improved significantly after working with him. He makes learning engaging and fun, while providing the right level of challenge. Daniel also provided feedback and resources for extra practice, which really helped with exam preparation. We are very grateful for his support!

A few parents at our daughter's school recommended Daniel to us. Her confidence and ability improved massively after he started helping her. She really exceeded expectations and it was due to the quality of his tutoring.

Daniel taught both of my boys for several years - both struggled with literature and writing. But thanks to Daniel both got A*! It really helped them in their other written subjects too. He makes learning relevant and interesting, and is flexible on arrangements and very dependable.
