At Hicks Home Learning, I provide tailored, personalised curricula for home-educated learners that complement your family’s education plans. Whether your child is just starting their learning journey or preparing for GCSEs, I offer clear, structured guidance to help them build confidence, independence, and mastery of key skills.
Many of the learners I work with have found that the traditional school system didn’t quite fit their needs, whether due to learning differences, anxiety, or a desire for more flexible pacing. I bring over a decade of teaching experience, including extensive work with students with SEND, to help home-educated learners thrive in a calm, structured, and fully personalised environment.

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.
