Good evening everyone,

It’s that time of year again — just four months to go until GCSEs.

For the fourth year running, I’ll be launching my English Onside course, designed to give students the confidence, clarity and consistency they need in the crucial build-up to their final exams.

In summer 2025, every student on the programme achieved at least a Grade 5 in English Language, exceeding their target grade of 4.

Throughout the course, I teach English Language using highly engaging, sport-focused content and an approach that is suited to all learning styles.

If you’d like to secure a place on this year’s programme (starting late February / early March), please get in touch.

As always, thank you for any shares or comments — your support really is appreciated.

With GCSEs fast approaching, I’m sharing some availability for private tuition for students studying in Wickersley/Bramley and surrounding areas. I cover English Language and Literature and have an excellent record at helping students secure passes at grades 4-9.

If your child is in need of an extra boost for either mocks or GCSEs, please get in touch.

Thanks

Hi all,

After two successful English Language revision programmes, we are back for a third year, offering to support/boost any Y11 students who need that extra focus for their Summer GCSEs.

Using sport/football as a teaching tool, we aim to engage and inspire our students to success in English Language.

With colleges and employers after those all-important pass grades, we have a 94% success rate, with our students achieving a grade 4 or higher - with some achieving as high as grades 7 and 8.

If you are interested in securing your child’s space on this course, please get in touch via DM and I’ll get back to you asap with dates, times and costs.

Thanks.

Does your KS3 child need some support with English? Are they perhaps disengaged with the current curriculum, and approaching those all important GCSEs?

English Onside is here to help. 📚 ⚽️

From September, I’ll be delivering KS3 classes to help those students get back on track.

Through football-themed, bespoke lessons, tailored to sport enthusiasts, I’ll be able help your child rediscover their love of English whilst also helping them to improve their literacy skills.

Our 1 hour, weekly sessions will cover all Language skills needed, such as:
⚽️ Descriptive and narrative writing
⚽️ Transactional writing - letters/articles
⚽️ Reading comprehension
⚽️ Spelling, punctuation and grammar

These small group sessions are a fraction of the cost of private tuition, but have been proven to secure rapid progress and attainment amongst learners.

If you’re interested in securing a place on one of our courses, or just want some more information, please drop me a message.

Thank you.
Liam - English Onside. 📚 ⚽️

Are you in need of some GCSE English Language and Literature revision in the run up to exams? A lot of students struggle to revise independently, but I’m here to help.

I’ll be running some online sessions - pay as you go - for the different questions on both AQA Lang and Lit papers.

These will run weekly on the free Google Clasroom app from w/c 15th April, at a fraction of the cost you’d pay for 1:1 tuition - and no commitment necessary!

Drop me a message for my timetable and costs, and you can select the sessions you’d like to attend which will help you cater for your individual GCSE needs.

Thanks.

Liam.

After the successful start to the midweek English Onside revision programme, I can now confirm that I will be looking to run an Easter revision programme, likely to be 3x 2hour sessions for English Language from w/c 1.4.24.

There is already interest in this programme but we can likely only offer 6 places. If this is something you’re interested in, or know someone who might be, please get in touch. If you want any more information about prices/location, please drop me a DM. Thanks for all of your support. Liam.

Hi everyone.

Our 10 week course is nearly fully booked up, however we do have space for two more.

Hi everyone.

My course is focused on improving GCSE English Language skills, using sport-specific texts to help engage and motivate students to achieve their potential.

Hi everyone. After the amazing success of our first English Onside GCSE course, we’re looking to now offer a KS3 transition programme aimed at 12-14 year olds who are keen to improve their reading and writing skills.

The programme will again focus around literacy, using football texts (articles/letters/speeches) as a stimulus to help engage and inspire.

At the minute, I’m just trying to gauge interest. We’ll be looking towards doing a few days of study during the final week of the Summer Holidays, ready for our students to hit the ground running next academic year.

Can anyone who is interested, or knows people who may be, get in touch via comment or DM.

Thanks.

Liam,
