Barrett Education
1:1 ONLINE TUITION

Personal, expert English tuition for GCSE, iGCSE and A Level.

Every student is different. One-to-one lessons are shaped around your child: their specification, their texts, their gaps and their goals. Claire quickly identifies what is holding a student back and gets straight to work on it. Every minute of the lesson counts.

Alongside sharp analysis, Claire puts real emphasis on writing: planning and structuring essays, developing an argument and expressing ideas with clarity and precision. As skills grow, so does confidence and students often find it lifts their work across other subjects too.

How it works

Lessons take place live on Pencil Spaces, with video, audio and an interactive whiteboard. Each student has their own space to return to between lessons for homework, notes and feedback.

All you need is a computer or tablet and an internet connection. Students receive detailed feedback on their written work, so they always know what they are doing well and exactly how to improve. Parents are kept updated throughout.
