Tutoring with Harriet Stack

Tutoring

Good English language skills are essential and studying literature provides all sorts of benefits beyond passing exams.

As an experienced English tutor specialising in Years 7-13, I work with my students to improve the areas they are concerned about and to help them enjoy English more.

Common areas of focus include:

  • Improving all-round confidence in English
  • Language, grammar and writing skills
  • Practising comprehension
  • Understanding Shakespeare texts
  • Analysing and understanding poetry
  • Improving understanding of literature texts
  • Exam technique

My work is always collaborative, so students engage in their own learning paths.
Every session is individually tailored to the student.

Harriet made the complex texts I was studying easy to understand and her passion for the subject made my sessions really enjoyable.

My daughter found it hard to concentrate at school and needed some help. Finding Harriet has been the best thing. She encourages K by tailoring the lesson to her interests and hobbies, making it fun & interesting to learn. Never has a teacher or tutor taken the time to understand her like Harriet has. 100% I would recommend her, as long as she still has time for us.

Harriet is just amazing. So calm and patient with these youngsters. No pressure is put on them at all, and you can tell she really enjoys teaching. I just wish I got her on board earlier, I cannot recommend her enough.

Above all else, the confidence L has gained in her English Literature A Level classes, thanks to the help and support of the lessons with Harriet have been the most instrumental aspects to her grades improving significantly and her happiness after the college lessons.

Harriet has been brilliant for my boys. Their confidence has increased, their grades have improved and their love of English developed so that it’s no longer a struggle in lessons, exams and their homework. I highly recommend Harriet as a tutor.

Harriet tutors two of my sons (7 & 12 yrs). She has a passion for English language and literature particularly poetry. This enthusiasm shines through her work and is truly infectious. She has risen to the challenge of getting my boys reading by tailoring the sessions specifically around their interests. She has a patient and non judgemental style which suits my two very well. Harriet keeps the curriculum and exams in mind but I believe her unique selling point is her ability to stimulate interest in learning generally and creativity. When I asked my younger son how the work was going with Harriet, he laughed and said quite dismissively ‘it’s not work!’. Neither of them complains about the time they spend with her which (particularly for my older son) is something of a miracle.
