‘We are very grateful to Will for his excellent teaching and guidance for our son who was preparing for the Eton Scholarship. He has helped him develop his writing skills and foster his passion for English, which was reflected in our son's scholarship results!’
- Jessica
‘Our 14 year old son achieved A*s (99th and 96th percentile) in two English Language exams taken this autumn after just one month's study. Will was fast, efficient and clear. He told us our son would be ready in a month and he delivered perfectly.’ -

‘Will is the master of his craft. He is adept in explaining content and simplifying structure. He has extensive knowledge of the texts and the IGCSE board’s specifications. Will is methodical in his approach, and he is resourceful. He is very clear in his delivery. Will inspired much confidence in my son.’

‘William has been a fantastic support for our daughter in her final year of school. His lessons were consistently clear, constructive, and well-structured — exactly what she needed to build confidence and sharpen her skills. She really appreciated his precise and encouraging approach, and we saw a real difference in both her writing and her mindset.’
- Laure
‘Will is very passionate about his subject. We could not recommend him highly enough as an English tutor. His knowledge of the English IGCSE syllabus is extensive and he did a fantastic job with our daughter on her exam technique leading her to achieve a 9. He has passion, knowledge and gets the best out of a child very quickly.’
- Nicky
‘My daughter was looking for some last minute help with her A Level English coursework. Will stepped in with a couple of days notice, appreciating the urgency and finding time to help her when he is clearly already very busy. She said that he was absolutely excellent and gave her very valuable insights into how she could improve. Highly recommend.’
- Kate
‘Will is an excellent English tutor and we recommend him highly. He has worked with my son for over 6 months on preparation for the 11+ and Eton entrance exams in English and Verbal reasoning. He has in-depth subject knowledge of the English syllabus as well as exam requirements for specific schools and how to excel in these.’
- Kit
‘Will has been excellent at tutoring my 17y old son who is studying for his IB in English. He has helped increase his confidence in writing essays and analysing poetry. The sessions have been very well structured. We would thoroughly recommend Will for anyone looking for a tutor for English and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again if any of my other children required an English tutor either.’
