If you are looking for expert one-to-one English tuition with a personal touch, Hicks Home Learning offers something truly different from some of the big-name tutoring platforms.
Instead of being matched with a tutor who may lack formal training, you will work directly with a fully qualified English teacher with eleven years of classroom experience, including time as Head of Key Stage 3. I plan every lesson to suit your child’s needs, aligned to the curriculum, and delivered with care. I have extensive experience in creating full schemes of work that build real progress over time. As a result, my lesson content is never outsourced, generic, or rushed.
There are no hidden fees, no rotating tutors, and no ticket systems. Just consistent, high-quality teaching from someone with a proven track record of helping students excel.

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.
