11 Plus and GCSE English tutor
About
I’ve been teaching English for 10 years. I hold a BA in Creative Writing, a PGCE in Secondary English, QTS and a TEFL.
As a tutor, I’ve successfully helped students to secure coveted places at top schools at most entry points but primarily through 11 and 13 Plus exams: students have received offers from many top UK schools including St Paul’s, Westminster, Hampton and Tiffin Girls’s School.
I’ve helped students secure top grades in both GCSE English Language and Literature and helped students leap four grades from their mock exams.
I cover all aspects of English, but I particularly enjoy helping students with creative writing and have a keen personal interest in Shakespeare.
I found my love for teaching out in Beijing, where I taught English as a Second Language.
There I also tutored for an education consultancy, helping prepare students for 11 Plus, as well as GCSE English exams.
It was very fulfilling, and in 2019 I returned to London, where I grew up, to complete a PGCE in Secondary English.
Then I taught in prep schools and secondaries around London for a couple of years before deciding to return to what I love most: tutoring.
Over the last five years, I've worked as a full-time tutor, GCSE examiner and a newsletter author.
Through my newsletter, I share model solutions to 11 Plus and GCSE English questions and tasks, and provide guidance for answering difficult questions.
It's this habit of writing model responses and considering the easiest ways to approach questions which helps me to provide accurate, effective advice for all of my students to help them fulfil their academic potential.
My aim is to help students achieve top marks in their exams, and to make learning English simpler.
From my experience in the classroom, students often whizz from task to task. The benefit of one-to-one tuition is that students have the time they need to develop key skills, which is why classes are typically devoted to individual topics. Each lesson is sequenced to build on or complement the last, and students follow structured units of work so that topics are covered comprehensively.
Additionally, I know students need to read model answers before they can attempt to write top-grade responses themselves, but often won't have access to good examples. That's why I write alongside my students during lessons, and through this collaborative approach, I've found students really excel.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Mr Morgan E.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Son enjoyed his sessions, and never complained about doing sessions. He got into all 3 schools he applied for with one offering him an academic scholarship. His Comprehension work in general improved so much! Thanks Morgan!

Morgan has been a great help to my daughter in the lead up to her SATs. He has a very calm nature and came fully prepared with specific activities tailored to my daughter’s needs. We noticed she started getting higher marks in the test papers she was doing at school. We would definitely recommend.

Morgan has been an excellent tutor for our son who is preparing for his GCSEs this summer. Morgan combines a very professional manner with a creative and imaginative approach that keeps the lessons interesting and relevant. Our son's confidence in English language has grown since he began being tutored by Morgan and he's also enjoyed the work he's been set to do. We're very happy with Morgan's tutoring and recommend him warmly.

My daughter is in Year 7. We were looking for a tutor to help her with comprehension. Morgan did this by systematically working through passages in the online sessions, aiding her ability to identify key clauses and sentences more rapidly than previously.

Morgan’s support with my son’s English Language GCSE was truly invaluable, supporting him to go from getting a 5 in his GCSE mock to achieving a 9 in the final exam in only 4 months. His approach was very precise and tailored to target my son’s weaknesses, ensuring that he gained confidence and make huge improvements in all areas. Morgan is truly an incredible tutor and I would wholeheartedly recommend him.

Morgan is an excellent tutor who was able to identify what my child needed to improve on and then set exercises to practise that. Also, very good at modelling answers based on what is expected in entrance tests. My child has ADHD and Morgan has been very patiently teaching him by simplifying and breaking down information and helping with inference.

Morgan was a great help to my child for school entrance preparation. He was clear and gave constructive suggestions on how to improve on his writing skills. My child enjoyed the class and was happy he got in to his school of choice.

Morgan is a superb English tutor! He supported my son in enhancing his creative writing skills for his GCSE exams. Morgan always carefully went through my son's writings, offering detailed feedback and suggestions for improvement. With English being my son's second language, Morgan demonstrated exceptional patience towards his learning. Additionally, he shared some invaluable English learning resources which were very helpful.

Morgan is a kind, patient and engaging teacher who is able to deliver strong learning outcomes. My son who disliked creative writing and struggled with it, has in the space of a few months come a long way to writing very good pieces now. He recently passed the 10+ exam at one of the top, highly-competitive London schools where Creative Writing was one of the two subjects tested. My son always looks forward to the class with Morgan and is able to independently manage classes, homework and follow up from there. In his words, he said to give Morgan a 100-star review! In addition, Morgan shares regular updates and connects with me (as a parent) to guide, share and answer any questions when needed. I would 100% recommend Morgan.

Morgan provided a really great weekly online tutoring session in English to our 10-year-old son over the course of 2022 as part of his preparation for 11+ exams. He really enjoyed the sessions every week and built a good rapport with Morgan, who helped him develop his English skills significantly over the year. The classes contained a mixture of comprehension and creative writing exercises, with weekly homework tasks set which would then be discussed at the next meeting with suggestions for improvements. Morgan consistently provided useful tips and advice to help him develop, and we really noticed a good level of improvement in his writing skills over the year. Morgan was happy to listen to our feedback to focus on specific areas of interest and tailor lessons accordingly. We will await to see how the 11+ exams go, but definitely pleased that we used Morgan for weekly online lessons during the period and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to others looking for something similar.

Morgan was very professional and organised. You always knew what was covered in the lesson. He helped my son with English whilst he was in between schools and helped to keep him on top of the curriculum.

We were looking for a competent and caring English tutor for our daughter with the aim of deepening her appreciation of language in general and English literature in particular. It is a huge relief and pleasure to say that Morgan has been exactly the person we are looking for! Our daughter agrees and to quote her: 'Morgan doesn't just help with my current English curriculum but is also preparing me for GCSEs. He works hard to help with the techniques I struggle with and has made me a lot more confident. He is always on time, doesn’t slack and is very organised with documenting the lesson content, feedback and homework so you know exactly what you are doing in the next lesson and what you need to prepare for.'

I find the English lessons with Morgan are valuable and worthwhile. He is helping my daughter in improving her comprehension, especially when reading lengthy and difficult paragraphs. Under his guidance she is enjoying the classes, as she is now learning to find the right answers without efforts. He is patient, motivating and very supportive during the lessons. Thank you!
