Hi, I’m Tess, the Lead GCSE English Tutor at TicTuition.
I graduated from the University of Surrey with a degree in English Literature and have spent over 10 years helping students build confidence and achieve outstanding results in English. Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of students in securing top GCSE grades, including 8s and 9s.
Alongside tutoring, I work as the Head of Content Production at a marketing agency, where I spend every day writing, editing and creating high-quality content. This professional experience gives me an in-depth understanding of language, communication and what makes great writing.
Above all, I’m passionate about helping students succeed. Whether it’s analysing Shakespeare, improving essay structure or mastering creative writing, I aim to make English engaging, approachable and enjoyable.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me with my nose in a book. I’m a lifelong lover of literature, and I believe that enthusiasm is one of the best things a tutor can pass on to their students.
Every student learns differently, which is why our tutoring is fully customised to your needs and goals. Whether you’re preparing for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, or another exam board, we focus on:
We work closely with students to break down complex texts, explore themes and techniques, and improve clarity and structure in written work.
We provide expert support for all major UK exam boards, including:
Each lesson is designed with your exam board in mind, ensuring you’re fully prepared for the specific format, assessment criteria, and question types you’ll face.
