Tom is an experienced academic specialist with over six years of tutoring experience, specialising in GCSE and A-Level English Language and Literature. He has supported students across a wide range of abilities and learning needs, helping them develop subject knowledge, analytical skills, exam technique, and confidence across different exam boards.

Tom holds a BA in English Literature and Drama from the University of Huddersfield and an MA in Gender, Sexuality and Culture from the University of Manchester, where his research focused extensively on Gothic fiction. His academic background, combined with his extensive tutoring experience, gives him a strong understanding of both the demands of essay-based subjects and the requirements of GCSE and A-Level assessment.

Tom specialises in GCSE and A-Level English Language and Literature, with particular expertise in essay writing, textual analysis, exam technique, and developing students’ ability to formulate and express their own ideas. His approach focuses on genuine understanding rather than reliance on memorised interpretations, helping students develop the confidence to engage critically with texts and construct stronger written arguments.

Alongside his academic work, Tom works part-time in recruitment within the property sector, giving him additional professional experience in communication, relationship-building, and understanding career pathways. He brings this wider perspective to his work as an academic advisor, while maintaining a clear and supportive approach that helps students become increasingly independent in their academic work.
