GCSE ENGLISH TUTOR- 33 years of experience
About
I am a GCSE English Teacher and an exam marker for 33 years. I am also a trainer for exam markers for two examining boards. My students always produce outstanding results with more than 85% achieving grades 8 and 9 every year. Most of the students improve by 2 to 4 grades while attending my lessons.
After developing their key skills, students are given rigorous practice in attempting past papers to ensure fast-paced progress. Their answers are diligently marked, and they are provided with detailed feedback about gaps in their learning and strategies to bridge the gaps.
I have written the model answers and step by step guides for all the questions of exam papers of all the major examining boards. Learners richly benefit from the model answers when they carry out the gap analysis between their responses and the model answers.
Parents are regularly informed through review meetings about their child`s progress and performance.
All these best practices energise the students to achieve the best result in English Language and Literature.
Lessons switched from face to face at my home to online platform when the pandemic lockdown began in March 2020.
In-person lessons are still being offered, especially to the students in the local area who want to learn face to face.
Online lessons are highly effective and successful and most parents and pupils prefer them. These enable the students to learn in their home environment, under the dual supervision of parents at home and teacher online.
More than 85% of my students have achieved grade 8 or 9 in GCSE English Exams in the last 10 years.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Khurram'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.

Excellent teacher. Very good style of teaching and he is able to explain in detail the best techniques and tips for exam preparation. Khurram is also able to explain complex topics and methods in an easy and practical manner. He uses different styles of teaching based on the student profile he is teaching. My son is now fully engaged and has developed a love for the English subject after just a few lessons with Mr Khurram. Highly recommended!

I have nothing but admiration for Khurram. His first session was conducted in my presence so I was able to judge at first hand what an outstanding tutor he is. His knowledge and experience are second to none. His conduct and control of the session first class. After only one session he was able to determine what level my son was working at and managed to devise a plan to enable us to reach our target. I would highly recommend Khurram and just wished that we had found earlier. Once comment from my son sums up the effect Khurram had on my son, " He had thought me more in one session (two hours) than my English school teacher had taught me in one year " !

Harry is very good he encourages the child to acheve to their higest potential and provides resourses so as to help the student achieve their goals. I would therefore recommend him to everyone.

Khurram has very quickly identified the areas for improvement in order to obtain her desired grades. He has carefully focussed on these areas and she is taking strides. He explains complex ideas clearly and emphasize and repeats the difficult areas that she struggles. We are hoping she can continue to improve and achieve her goals.

We, Daniel's grandparents, have not met Harry but have spoken several times on the phone; he gives the impression that he expects high standards from his pupils and we approve of this expectation. Daniel reports that he gets on well with Harry and is pleased with the amount he is learning. The tutorials are definately improving his confidence that he can do well in his GCSE exams in November.

Mr. Harry is a very experienced teacher. Therefore he knows the weaknesses of my child's level and he knows how it can be improved. He is a great teacher and I have already seen an improvement in my daughter's English.
