Lexipro English Tutoring

About Lexipro

I began teaching in 2001 across primary, secondary and further education. I have worked in both state and independent sectors.

In 2021, I founded Lexipro to offer high-quality, tailored English tutoring in a nurturing, supportive environment. I’ve taught a diverse range of students, from primary school children to adults, covering 11+ preparation, entrance exams, GCSE English (for all exam boards), EFL and general English.

At Lexipro, I work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical learners, aiming to create an inclusive and supportive environment. Many of my students come to me after facing challenges in education or the workplace. I take the time to listen, adapt and build meaningful relationships that support their growth.

I collaborate closely with families, schools and professionals to support students, particularly those who have struggled in traditional classrooms. I keep families involved in the process by regularly updating them on their child's progress. This ensures they remain an integral part of the learning experience.

Lexipro supports learners who have been overlooked in mainstream education, helping them overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

My long-term relationships with families are grounded in patience, trust and steady progress. Parents and schools often describe me as a standout educator, with many maintaining long-term relationships due to the visible progress students achieve.

My Specialist Teaching Roles in English

Lexipro English Tutoring

Whether working one-to-one or in a group, my tutoring is tailored to each student’s strengths and areas for development.

I specialise in the following:

GCSE English Language and Literature (all exam boards)

11+ and private/grammar school entrance exams

Functional Skills English up to Level 2 and general English for adults

EFL/ESL tutoring for academic, conversational and workplace use, including unscheduled revision practice lessons before important exams to strengthen skills and ensure success

I work with both neurotypical and neurodivergent students, including those with autism, ADHD, speech and language difficulties, dyslexia and barriers to school attendance. My approach is patient, empathetic and focused on developing both skills and self-assurance. Many GCSE students exceeded their predicted grades, often improving by multiple levels. ESL learners frequently progress from beginner to fluent, passing key exams and enhancing workplace communication.
