Hi I'm Hayley and I'm a GCSE English Language and Literature Tutor.

So I guess you'll want to know about me! 

I read English Literature at De Montfort University, graduating in 2004. After 2 years as a Training Centre Co-ordinator for trade professionals, I earned my second degree in Acting at the prestigious Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts!

​

Whilst studying, I worked as a Dance, Drama and Singing Teacher for numerous private schools and then as a TA for SMART Education. Here I worked across many schools in the UK, specialising in teaching English to students with anxiety and emotional needs. I absolutely loved championing, creating and delivering courses for staff in these areas to accommodate for the growing need for the understanding of SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) in mainstream classrooms.

Alongside a successful Theatre career, including West End credits, I began a 'short-term, part-time' tutoring role with Fleet Education in 2009.

Life changed again when I married and had my gorgeous boy, Charlie, in 2015. By then, I had my feet firmly under the 'Tutoring' table and began what would be a full-time, long-standing career in tutoring English to SEMH and Gifted and Talented students - with a waiting list longer than I could manage!

​

With a need for more family time, yet still loving tutoring and wanting to help more students than time allowed, I decided to offer group online tutoring, bringing my classroom to the homes of those who need - and want - it. 

So, here I am - making a difference to as many young minds and hearts as I can, on my mission to help alleviate some of the stress our kids deal with in approaching their GCSEs, and maybe - just maybe - helping them learn to ENJOY being successful in this subject with a tutor who genuinely cares..
