She played a huge role in my English success
Alice is a brilliant teacher who played a huge role in helping me achieve an extremely high grade in my English examination.
Former Head of English in leading Scottish independent schools, with extensive experience preparing students for GCSE, A-level and Scottish exam success.
For the past 7 years I have taught at 3 independent schools in Scotland. My roles included; Head of English at George Heriot’s School, Deputy Head of English at The Mary Erskine School and English Teacher at Loretto School. I have taught English at all ages and stages from Year 7-Year 13 and have a wealth of experience teaching examination years. I have taught both English Language and Literature at GCSE and A-level, and English Language and Literature in the Scottish education system from National 5 to Advanced Higher. Alongside this, I have tutored in my spare time and it has been a real pleasure to see pupils achieve their goals and surpass their own expectations.
My teaching style is heavily dictated by my students and my top priority is tailoring my teaching style to each individual’s specific learning requirements. To my mind, ensuring that students are engaged is key to success. I know the importance of helping my students become interested in what they are studying, and though this can take time, it is a key component of my lesson planning. Alongside this, I always embed AFL strategies into my lessons to ensure pupils are effectively gaining the knowledge and mastering the skills they need to be successful in examinations. I consider myself a supportive practitioner and my aim is to help pupils to gain the confidence they need to achieve their tuition goals.

Her teaching gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to succeed.
He is always so positive after each lesson, which is wonderful to see!
I can’t think of a better person to hire as a private tutor.
