Online KS3 & GCSE English tuition
Hi, I'm Miranda – a qualified English teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience across four countries. After teaching internationally in Japan, South Korea and Italy, I returned to the UK to complete my PGCE and spent seven years teaching at an Outstanding London secondary school before founding English Tutoring with Miranda.

What parents and students say
At a glance
I'm a qualified English teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience and more than 10 years of tutoring experience, helping students build confidence, improve their writing and achieve their potential.
My teaching journey began in 2007, when I moved to Japan to teach English as a second language. I later taught in South Korea and Italy, gaining experience with students from a wide range of backgrounds and developing a teaching style that is patient, adaptable and engaging.
After returning to the UK, I completed my PGCE and gained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) while teaching at a secondary school in Buckinghamshire. I then joined an Outstanding secondary school in the London Borough of Hounslow, where I spent seven years teaching English and taking on a number of leadership responsibilities.
Alongside teaching, I began tutoring students over 10 years ago, working with young people of all abilities to build confidence, strengthen their understanding of English and prepare them for GCSE success. Tutoring allowed me to work more closely with individual students, tailoring every lesson to their specific strengths, challenges and goals. Seeing the impact of this personalised approach confirmed just how transformative one-to-one support can be.
During my time in school, I also mentored trainee and early career teachers, led Key Stage 3 English, redesigned the entire KS3 English curriculum and served as Whole School Reading Lead, helping to improve literacy across every subject.
After a decade of balancing classroom teaching with private tutoring, I made the exciting decision in 2025 to establish English Tutoring with Miranda. My goal was simple: to create a tutoring service that combines the expertise of an experienced classroom teacher with the personalised support that only one-to-one and small-group tuition can offer.
Today, every lesson is carefully planned around the individual student, combining expert subject knowledge with clear explanations, targeted feedback and practical exam strategies that help students make genuine progress. Whether a student needs to rebuild confidence, secure a pass or aim for the very highest GCSE grades, my aim is always the same: to make English feel clearer, more enjoyable and ultimately more successful.
All lessons take place online, allowing students to learn from the comfort of home. Lessons are interactive, engaging and use high-quality digital resources to create an effective learning experience.
Lessons can be tailored to your child's exam board. I have extensive experience teaching AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, Cambridge iGCSE and Pearson iGCSE, and I also support students studying other specifications.
Yes. Every family is offered a free 10–15 minute consultation before booking. It's an opportunity for us to discuss your child's current level, goals and the type of support that would benefit them most, with no obligation to book.

Yes. I have experience supporting students with a range of additional learning needs and adapt my teaching to suit each individual learner. I am fully DBS checked and safeguarding trained, and creating a supportive, encouraging learning environment is at the heart of every lesson.
Homework is provided where appropriate to reinforce learning between lessons. It is always purposeful and tailored to the student's individual needs.
I regularly monitor progress through classwork, exam-style questions and ongoing feedback, keeping both students and parents informed of development over time. Parents are also very welcome to get in contact at any time and ask for an update.
Simply complete the enquiry form to arrange your free consultation. We'll discuss your child's needs and find the most suitable tuition option before any lessons begin.
