Mark Payton English Tutoring
How can I help?
Are you looking for additional teaching and support in English?
Mark’s teaching enriches what is offered in school and gives space for individual attention and bespoke approaches that are not always possible in the classroom. Your work with him will complement and sit alongside what you’re studying in school.
Are you moving schools or changing syllabus?
If you need to catch up with new texts or types of assessment, Mark can help you get up to speed. He’s also happy to work with your English teacher in school to support you.
Are you preparing for university entrance through UCAS?
Mark can help and advise you with your personal statement. As a personal tutor for 6th form students, he has a wealth of experience in this area.
