I start each lesson with around 5 minutes of rapid-fire recap questions to reinforce previous learning and identify areas that need revisiting.
The remainder of the lesson focuses on exam-style questions. I first guide students through a past paper question. For example, for a four-mark question, I might ask what four points they would make, then explore what else could be relevant if I feel some of their ideas might not be on the mark scheme. I guide students towards the key points rather than simply giving them the answers, using prompts to help them work things out for themselves.
We then review the student’s answer against the mark scheme before creating a full-marks checklist, giving them a clear guide to answering that question type successfully in future.
To maximise productivity and make use of active recall, I encourage students to turn past paper questions and our checklists into flashcards using Anki or Quizlet. I’m more than happy to show students how to set these up and use them effectively.
This is the revision method I personally used to achieve top grades across my exams, so it’s one I know very well and can teach with confidence.
Beyond revision, I aim to be a friendly and approachable face. Being closer in age to my students than most teachers means I can relate to the challenges of secondary school and offer advice based on my own recent experience.
Alongside practice questions, I like to use videos and other helpful online resources to make lessons more engaging, varied and interactive.
Terms and Conditions:
I kindly ask that any cancellations be made at least 3 hours in advance. For cancellations made within 3 hours of the scheduled lesson, I would appreciate a contribution of half the lesson fee (£12) to cover preparation time.

My son has been using Alfie for the past few months and has been professional, courteous, thoughtful and a has wealth of expertise. His calming and supportive nature has meant that my son has gained in knowledge, understanding and most importantly confidence to address the many aspects of GCSE’s subjects including the sciences and maths. He relates so well in age to my son, which I believe to be a winning combination. Highly recommend!
We would highly recommend Alfie for GCSE coaching and preparation.
Our daughter, who is in year 10, has had a number of sessions with Alfie in Chemistry. She wasn't confident in the area but as a result of his calm approach, clear direction and targeted tutoring, she went on to achieve 73% in her next mid year test and now feels so much more confident and actually likes the subject! Thanks, Alfie!
Alfie has also provided a number of English literature and language GCSE prep sessions which have been equally valuable.
Alfie was always well prepared. He asked the right questions to tailor his teaching accordingly, and was professional, committed and knowledgeable. (He comes with the credentials of Grade 9s in all his GCSE subjects.)
Suffice to say, we will be going back for more! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alfie to others.
