At Hicks Home Learning, I offer carefully structured English tuition in small online groups for Key Stage 3 and GCSE (AQA) students. These sessions focus on building core skills in reading, writing, and analysis, as well as revision for exams.
Each group is thoughtfully arranged by age and ability to ensure every learner feels confident, supported, and able to contribute. With limited numbers and expert planning, no one gets lost in the crowd.

If you are looking for small group English tuition that combines quality teaching with a personal approach, Hicks Home Learning offers something far more tailored than the big tutoring platforms.
Group sessions are led by a fully qualified English teacher with eleven years of classroom experience, including leadership as Head of Key Stage 3. Unlike larger services that rely on pre-made slides and rotating tutors, every session here is taught by me and carefully designed to suit the level, goals, and dynamics of each group.
Lessons are engaging, structured, and curriculum aligned, helping students make genuine progress in a supportive environment. Whether your child is aiming to build confidence, strengthen key skills, or push for top grades, these sessions are shaped to help them thrive.
There are no outsourced materials, no call centres, and no hidden fees. Just expert teaching, real relationships, and affordable group rates that never compromise on quality.

I believe that students achieve their best when taught by someone with deep subject knowledge, experience, and care. I do not offer generic tutoring or superficial support. I provide high-quality English teaching through carefully structured tuition, tailored to each learner.
My pricing reflects eleven years of classroom experience, a First Class degree in English with History, and a Master’s degree in English Literature from the University of St Andrews. My teaching has helped many students exceed their targets. In 2017, I was honoured to be Highly Commended in the Kent Teacher of the Year Awards, in recognition of the quality and impact of my work.
I am committed to offering clear and transparent rates, with no hidden fees or confusing packages. I work in partnership with families to create long-term learning plans that provide real value, academic progress and lasting confidence.
✨ "You are such a great teacher and never ignored me because I was a quieter student than most in the class" ✨

Payment and Cancellations Policy
Sessions are paid for in advance by bank transfer. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, as this helps me offer that slot to another student. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may still be charged. Please refer to the Policies and Information page for full details.
