The benefits of studying Secondary English
By studying our Secondary English homeschooling course (English National Curriculum Key Stage 3), your child will develop the skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing that they will need for study at IGCSE and beyond. Your child will learn to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to communicate with others confidently and effectively.
At the end of each year of your child studying Secondary English you will receive a report on your child’s progress.

I encourage my pupils to take an active approach to their studies. If my student isn’t enjoying an activity, I’ll stop and find another approach. I believe this mentality is why homeschooling works well

I believe there is a different educational route for everybody. It is our job to find a way for that person to access education. There is nothing more rewarding than that “light-bulb” moment

Passing exams requires more than a good level of English. You must unlock the question and produce what the examiner wants to read. It’s always a joy giving a high mark to a well-answered question.
