Hicks Home Learning: Expert English Tuition
At Hicks Home Learning, I provide specialist English tuition for Key Stage 3, GCSE and Functional Skills learners. Each lesson is personalised, engaging and designed to build the skills and confidence needed for future success.
With 11 years of classroom experience, including time as Head of Key Stage 3, alongside a First Class degree in English with History and a Master’s degree in English Literature from the University of St Andrews, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for language and literature to every session. In 2017, I was Highly Commended in the Kent Teacher of the Year Awards, following a nomination from within my school community.
I have a strong track record of inclusive teaching and extensive experience supporting students with SEND, including:
- Autism (ASD)
- ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia
- Irlen Syndrome
- Anxiety
- Selective Mutism
- Speech and Language Needs
- Tourette's
- ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder)
- Slow Processing / Working Memory challenges
Each lesson is carefully adapted to the student’s individual needs and learning style, helping them feel supported, understood and able to thrive.
✨ "You have encouraged her and supported her through her anxiety with assessments to the point she has completed some without breaking down, and this is because you have cared enough to help her and believe in her." ✨

How it works
1. Get in touch
Use the contact form below, email me directly or request a free consultation to tell me what kind of support you are looking for. I will respond promptly to answer any questions.
We will arrange a short call to discuss your child’s learning goals and the best type of support. This may include one-to-one sessions, a small group, or a bespoke package.
3. Choose your sessions
You decide what works best: weekly online lessons, in-person support (if you are local), or a short-term block focused on a particular goal. I will offer guidance on what I believe will help your child thrive.
4. Start learning
Once we have agreed a plan, we will begin lessons! I provide all necessary materials and tailor each session to your child’s pace and progress. Regular, clear communication with parents or schools is part of my approach.
5. Flexible options
Family life is busy, and I understand the need for flexibility. I offer adaptable scheduling and a clear, fair cancellation policy. You can also book block sessions to secure your preferred time slot.
✨“You made learning fun and helped me grow into the student I am now.”✨
