Here is one of my students from this year. Leo got grade 9s for both Language and Literature. In fact, his Literature mark was 156/160 (and this was the subject he struggled with a bit more!). His mother wrote to me: 'He put in a huge amount of hard work and determination, but your tuition, advice and experience were invaluable in helping to get him into that top band in both Literature and Language. Feel free to refer to the results in your promotional patter if ever you feel it may help, although I’m quite sure your reputation already precedes you, and rightfully so!' I have a couple of slots left and will also be running a monthly subscription for group sessions. Please get in touch - 9 months until the 2026 GCSEs. Don't leave it too late! Phil

Excellent results from my 30+ tutees this year. From Fraser, who was around a Level 3 when we started and gained a 5 and a 6 (only 2 marks off a 6 and a 7 in each), to Raiyan (who struggles with autism and was around Level 4s) achieving two Level 7s. Really proud of all my students this year! I only have a couple of regular slots left but will be opening up group sessions for a much lower monthly fee this year if you miss out, so please still send me a message via Facebook or by contacting 07850016466. Thanks! Phil
Only a few spaces left for tutoring in September, so please call/text 07850016466 if you have been considering it. I will also be running an online subscription this year for live and recorded weekly sessions (likely 3 sessions per week with an additional live Q and A drop-in session). This will be for a much lower fee, obviously. Please message me if you are interested. Phil

Some testimonials from this year's GCSEs:
I got 8s on both language and literature. I just want to thank you for all the tips and tricks you taught me. (Sid)
Fin got an 8 for his Literature and a 6 for his Language. Thanks again for all your help and support as he was failing English when you started!
Hi Phil, Jack got a grade 7 in language and grade 5 in literature. He’s well happy! (Jack – predicted 3 or 4)
Just to say a massive thank you Phil. Language getting a remark so must be really close to a 6 and only 4 marks from a 7 in Lit. He couldn’t have achieved these without you. Thank you!! We are really pleased. Can’t thank you enough. (Luke – predicted 3 or 4)
Can’t speak highly enough of Phil Blake! He’s helped our son since GCSE and we’ve kept on into A-levels too. Took our son from a predicted 4 in English GCSE to a 7! (Oliver)
