Zoe’s Areas of Expertise
As a passionate English tutor with over a decade of teaching experience, Zoe has supported hundreds of students through GCSE and A Level English, helping them not only pass their exams but also truly understand and enjoy the subject. Zoe also has experience teaching History, Religious Studies, EPQs, and works extensively with SEND and SEMH learners, including those with dyslexia and ADHD.
GCSE English Literature and Language exam preparation is Zoe’s specialist area. She has a particular specialism in supporting students who are borderline in their exams, helping them reach a minimum grade of 5 or 6.
”"The thing I love most is what I call ‘the lightbulb moment’ where a student has been finding something really challenging – whether that is how to write an analytical paragraph, or an extract from Romeo and Juliet or the context of a poem, and together we work through the problem until they have a robust understanding. When a learner gains confidence in an area they previously found difficult, this is my favourite part of the tutoring journey."

Zoe’s Teaching Approach
Zoe builds a personal rapport with students based on their individual needs, using humour to put them at ease, and focuses more on confidence building than criticism. This way, when a student makes an error, they feel comfortable enough not to be deterred by it.
Zoe’s motto is ‘if it doesn’t make you cringe, you haven’t done it right!’ Because the biggest breakthroughs often come from being brave enough to try.
