Laurence helped my son go from grade 5s to a 7 and an 8. He was really helpful and used the lessons really effectively. The 1:1 guidance and specific ways to improve his essays was super useful as well.

We found Laurence after my daughter got a 2 in English Language mock exam at the end of year 10. This summer she got a 7 in her final GCSE. I credit Laurence for making this difference.

My daughter's working relationship with her school teacher had completely broken down, they just didn't understand each other and my daughter's confidence was at rock bottom. From the first lesson Laurence complimented her work and rebuilt that confidence.

Laurence plans out his lessons entirely separately from what each child may be covering at school that week. He will cover the whole syllabus, gives tips for revision, using quotes, and how to structure the answers to meet all the criteria the examiners are looking for.
Closer to the exams Laurence works on confidence with dealing with a new question, this helped my daughter who tends to panic and struggles to start her answer.
Laurence's communication was clear, prompt and comprehensive throughout.
I whole-heartily recommend Laurence.

We can’t recommend Laurence highly enough. He tutored our son four years ago, who has dyslexia, and played a pivotal role in helping him achieve Grade 7s in both English Literature and Language. This was a remarkable achievement and directly supported his successful application to study Medicine at university.
This year, our daughter also worked with Laurence and under his guidance, she achieved a Grade 8 in English Language and a Grade 9 in English Literature. His teaching style is focused, structured, and highly effective — placing a strong emphasis on exam technique, which not only boosts confidence but also helps students excel across other subjects through improved writing and analytical skills.

His extensive experience and ability to tailor his approach to each student makes him an exceptional tutor. He also provides regular feedback to students and parents. We are incredibly grateful for the impact he has had on both of children’s academic journeys.

Less than 1 year tutorial, my son's Eng lit and Eng lang results have been upgraded significantly. Big thank you for Laurence.

My daughter Jessica started with Laurence before Christmas wanting to improve from getting 7s in her English mocks, yesterday she got her results and achieved 2 grade 9s!!! A huge improvement, thanks to Laurence’s excellent tutoring, which Jessica found easy to interact with and gave great advice and support. Thankyou so much

Perfect for my dyslexic son. Worked really well being online. Laurence puts a lot of work into the sessions. From predicted 3s and getting a 4 and a 5 was beyond what we hoped for and in a very short space of time. Only regret was not getting Laurence on board earlier!

We found Laurence via a random Google search, somewhat panicked after our very bright and articulate daughter was told she would expect a 2 in Eng Lit and a 4 in Eng Lang. Having only had supply teachers for a year for English.
Our daughter is scientific by nature and needed help with structure, plus confidence having had no real input in English for over a year.
Lawrence gave her both and a whole lot more. 12 lessons later she sat her mocks, gaining 5's and yesterday got a 7 and 6 in her GCSE's, which was a great result.
His teaching technique was simple enough to adapt to and having the Google docs records post lesson meant she had a reference point for revision for the exams.
Thank you Laurence for the belief you had in her and input that made a real difference.

My son started with Lawrence at extremely short notice after receiving a 3 in his mocks and frustrated he hadn’t done well in his actual GCSE paper 1.
Yesterday he got his results and was totally ecstatic to have achieved a 6!
Wow Lawrence you are amazing and we are extremely grateful to you!!

We came to Laurence through my sister, who had used him to successfully help my nephew. Laurence taught my daughter how to better express herself, how to use quotations properly to illustrate her points, how to plan and what sort of things the examiners look for. Laurence’s approach and toolset gave her the clarity and calmness to plan properly and the technique and confidence to succeed. His regular 2-hour lessons, tips and exam preparation help were invaluable. My daughter went from getting regular 5’s at GCSE level 6 months ago to achieving 7 in her final grade. Thank you Laurence - we highly recommend you.

Laurence’s tutoring has made all the difference for Josh’s results in his GCSE.
Josh has been always struggling with reading and writing and last year he was diagnosed with high functioning autism, while he had already been diagnosed with dyslexia in primary school.
With specific learning difficulties, no matter the effort he was putting in his English, he couldn’t have succeeded by himself or just with our help.
His last English mock in year 10 was a level 2.
Laurence’s teaching and guidance have been paramount to Josh’s success.
We went from looking at our son struggling to write and to use any structure in his writing, to look at someone able to write and structure an English Language and Literature essay.
We went from a 2 to a 5 in one year.
We are so proud of Josh and so very grateful to Laurence.

With Laurence’s engaging lessons, and outstanding guidance, support and encouragement, my daughter has gone from a predicted 2/3 to achieving a grade 7 in both Literature and Language in less than 12 months. I thoroughly recommend Laurence

Laurence tutored my son for 10 weeks before he took his GCSE’s. My son got a 3 for English in his year 11 mocks and he got 5 for both English exams in his GCSEs today! Other, more expensive tutors, I approached told me I’d left it too late to make any difference.

As a result of Laurence’s tutoring my son is going to the 6th form place he had his heart set on.

I urge you to trust in Laurence’s approach, it is unique and it works. He knows exactly where your child is at and what to do to get them to achieve their best in the time he has available.

My son enjoyed his sessions and loved that Laurence took an interest in him as a person and his hobbies.

Other qualified teacher tutors are much more expensive and dont have this approach which Laurence has to a tee.

When I started with Laurence, I had little understanding of how to write and what the exam board wanted from me. After a couple of weeks I quickly improved and started to realise what I needed to write to get those top marks. Overall his approach to teaching is excellent. He is always there with a positive attitude and never makes you feel bad for not understanding or knowing what to do and genuinely wants to help you achieve your full potential. It is 100% worth it as it does not only increase your grade, but it increases your confidence and boosts your other subjects as well. Thank you Laurence for your support!

Laurence has been a brilliant tutor for my son. He was really struggling but with Laurence's help and guidance, he has achieved the grades he needs and exceeded expectations. My son enjoyed every lesson with Laurence and especially his style and approach. I would highly recommend. Thank you so much Laurence (and I'm sure we'll be in touch when our youngest son needs a little help).

Laurence's tutoring has been totally transformative for my autistic son who has gone from a 4/5 in his mocks in Year 10 to a level 8 in Year 11 mocks. He has gained so much more confidence in his writing and his ability to express his thoughts and this has also had a positive impact on his other non STEM subjects.
My son and I are very grateful and glad we found Laurence!

My son thrived with Laurence's tutoring. From hating the subject and predicted 5/4 he developed his understanding and achieved a 7/6. This was in the space of 4 months.
Laurence was clear with his feedback and development points expanding on my son's ideas rather then trying to make him work on concepts he hadn't picked up himself.
Would highly recommend.

Absolutely thrilled with the progress my daughter made under Laurence’s guidance. She went from predicted grades of 6/6 to actual results of 8/8. She was only 3 marks off attaining a 9 in Literature. Utterly delighted and fully rate Laurence; particularly if your child approaches studies in a more mathematical and logical way. We cannot praise him enough!

I would highly recommend Laurence as an English teacher. His teaching methods and the two hour sessions really work. They helped build up our daughter’s confidence and knowledge of how to approach the exam questions. She also completed the exam papers that Laurence wrote and his feedback was invaluable. After getting a 3 in English Literature and a 4 in English Language in some mocks we decided to get her some help and she started with Laurence in the December before her GCSEs. Our daughter then got a 5 in English Literature and a 6 in English Language which she is delighted with, as are we. Thank you so much Laurence for all your help!

Laurence is an excellent teacher who helped my son immensely. He improved his self confidence immediately and taught him how to answer the questions to a high standard.
My son felt extremely comfortable during his 2 hour lessons and felt Laurence gave him the time and tools he needed to progress. We can't thank Laurence enough for his amazing techniques and guidance. I can't praise him enough.

Laurence is an amazing English teacher. His style of working with the student is unique and it most definitely works!! It ensures your child gains confidence in the subject.
My son was always achieving grade 5/6 and no matter how hard he worked, he couldn't get past these grades. He started to lose interest and hated the subject.
He started his tuition with Laurence in Year 10 and as year progressed we noticed he start to grow in confidence & his grades improved.
My son was predicted 7/8 in both English Language & Literature but achieved grade 9 in both !! He couldn't have achieved this without Laurence's help.
Thank you Laurence, We very much appreciate all you did for our son.
