GCSE, A Level, Oxbridge


I tutor GCSE and A Level English Literature, A Level History of Art, creative writing, and university applications (including Oxbridge). My students achieve results beyond what they thought possible, and many have secured offers from universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and UCL.

Exam success requires more than just knowledge: it’s about mastering the techniques that examiners reward. 

I help students to:
  • Plan essays effectively and structure arguments with clarity;
  • Choose and analyse quotations that support their ideas;
  • Write fluently and precisely, using formal academic English;
  • Meet assessment objectives with confidence and insight;
  • Develop timed essay skills without losing depth or originality.

In English Literature, I focus on helping students truly engage with texts—building their own interpretations, rather than simply repeating class notes. In History of Art, I guide students through thematic essay writing and analysing unseen works with a strong visual and contextual approach.

My teaching style is calm, clear, and focused on building independence. I break down complex concepts into manageable steps and encourage students to enjoy the learning process while equipping them with the tools to succeed under exam pressure.


Testimonials


"Our daughter was struggling with her A-Level English essays and lacked confidence in structuring her arguments. Noelle helped her break down the process step by step, transforming her approach. She went from a B to an A, and is now holding an offer from Cambridge to study English. We’re so grateful for Noëlle’s support and calm, encouraging teaching style."*

"Noelle supported our son through both his GCSE English and A-Level History of Art. She has a deep understanding of the exam structure and helped him build strong analytical skills. He achieved a 9 at GCSE and an A at A-Level, and has since secured a place at UCL to study History of Art."*
— Father of student, 2023

"As a mature student applying to Oxbridge, I was nervous about re-entering academic study. Noelle’s guidance was invaluable—especially in preparing my personal statement and sharpening my essay technique. I’ve now received an offer from Oxford to study English. I couldn’t have done it without her."
— Student, 2025 applicant

"We came to Noelle for help with GCSE English Language and Literature. Our son was finding the analytical aspects challenging, and she really helped demystify the mark schemes. His confidence and writing improved massively. He achieved 8s in both subjects and now enjoys English in a way he never did before."
— Parents of student, 2024

"My daughter was predicted a C in A-Level History of Art, but with Noelle’s expert support, she gained an A. Noelle taught her how to approach unseen images critically and build thematic, sophisticated essays. Her depth of knowledge and ability to make complex topics accessible is truly impressive."*
