Ankit

An introduction to Ankit

I’ve worked full-time as a professional English tutor for 4 years, first through elite agencies and then by building my own business.

I’ve helped dozens of teens across the UK excel in their GCSE and IGCSE English exams. See 20 past client reviews below (proof available on request)

I specialise in supporting students targeting grade 7, 8 and 9 in GCSE English, and grade B to A* in A-Level English Literature.

75% achieved 7-9 from 2023-25. In 2026, I helped 5 Year 11s from a leading grammar school improve by 2 to 3 grades each.

I also enjoy supporting students working toward grade 4 to 6.

Most importantly, I help students develop outstanding communication, argument, and analytical skills that they can rely on in university and the work-place.

My approach is kind, encouraging, and — for those aiming high — densely rigorous, featuring regular homework and high-level, exciting ideas that go beyond the classroom but remain precisely mark-scheme aligned.

Successful tutoring is built on deep, mutual trust: I am grateful that 50% of my clients stay for 1 year, with 25% staying for 2 to 3.

Tutor-student fit is important: contact to book a 50% off trial lesson to see if your student suits this approach.

I couldn’t be happier with the progress my son has made under Ankit’s guidance, which has helped him reach grade 9. What sets Ankit apart is his patience and encouragement, which has really boosted my son’s confidence. His passion for teaching and dedication to his students is evident in every lesson.

VIJI, Surrey

Ankit taught my son to approach GCSE English strategically. Ankit’s teaching methods aligned with his school teacher who is an OCR specialist. My son went from a Grade 5 standard to consistently working at Grade 8/9. Ankit genuinely cares, and was one of the best investments we have made in our son’s GCSE preparation.

SAVITHA, Reading

I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done to help me boost my confidence in English. I got an 8 in Literature and 7 in Language— I never thought I would EVER get that grade in Year 10. I’m so happy!

AYANA

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help and tips whilst preparing for my English GCSE! I found the resources really helpful and ended up getting 9s in both English exams.

HELENA, Surrey

I got a 9 in Literature and an 8— 2 marks off a 9 — in Language. These were also my highest grades. Thank you for making English better than it was at school.

ELANG, Surrey

The detailed homework feedback and regular writing practice also played a key role in strengthening his exam technique. Over time, he has become noticeably more confident in his writing and analysis. Your guidance, patience, and consistent encouragement have truly made a meaningful difference.

SANKARI, Reading

It really helped me get the 9. I’m still very surprised myself!

DAN, Surrey

Excellent teaching, great at communication and an effective method which helped my son go from a 5 to a 7 in mocks with a year left to improve further. Often exceeded the paid one hour to ensure a deep understanding of the content. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

SUDHA, Reading

Ankit is a very teen-friendly & knowledgeable tutor who got my son to do what it takes to up his grade from 7 to 8/9 in a short period of time. My son found every session very engaging and productive. i highly recommend him for GCSE English tutoring.

MEENA, Reading

Thanks so much for all the years and the help you’ve given, bringing me from a 5 to a 7+. It’s been a pleasure learning from you. I will definitely remember a lot of this during my time in 6th form, uni, and above.

AKSHAT, Reading

Ankit has been an exceptional tutor for my son in Year 8. His preparation before and after lessons is remarkable. He makes lessons interesting, engaging, humorous and very hands-on. Within just six months, his marks improved from a 2+ to a 4 — and he went on to win a non-fiction writing competition

SARA, Surrey

We are extremely grateful to Ankit for the progress our daughter has made. Within a year, she has progressed to an 8 in English Language and a 6 in English Literature from Grade 4 when she finished Year 9. Ankit is excellent at identifying her weaknesses and addressing them with targeted support.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed every single lesson, and it’s had a significant impact on his confidence. I have seen a noticeable improvement in his grades, and I attribute this to the dedication and approachability of his teacher.

I know Ankit as his English teacher and from when he worked with my students. His understanding of Literature is exceptional, and his manner with students is kind and thoughtful. Ankit may encourage them to aim higher than they thought possible.
