I have known Steve Carroll for two decades as a poet, an arts professional and as a teacher and have worked with him professionally in each of those contexts. Steve is an incredibly patient, creative and knowledgeable educator whose passionate approach is inspiring and relatable, and I would thoroughly recommend him to any parent looking for someone to work with their child.

Steve was very thorough and took careful time and preparation of the key exam resources that we worked through. Steve helped me grasp and understand the language comparisons and step by step question breakdown of exam papers. Using model grade 9 examples helped me see how my writing compared. This also gave me aspiration that I could gain higher grades than I was getting. Steve made me really think about how I would come up with the best answer. He got me writing and using key terminology that would ensure success. I liked how he was kind, inspiring, extremely knowledgeable and kept me on track to ensure that I would go into exams with confidence. Great tutor that helped me so much and helped me improve my grades in both English Language and English Literature. Flinn
I am so happy with the high level and quality of tuition that my son received from Steve. It gave him more confidence in GCSE English literature and Language and this has enabled him to reach his potential. Steve was absolutely wonderful, reliable, great expert knowledge, very focused and most importantly was able to understand my son’s weak areas to build his confidence and improve his grades. Honestly cannot praise Steve enough! Flinn’s mum
I was lucky enough to be able to engage Steve’s services to help my son with his English GCSE, in particular with key text tutoring to help him and a pal in joint sessions to prepare for exams. Prior to this, my son had declared poetry and Shakespeare boring and had struggled to engage with key texts, despite being a great reader and articulate individual. Steve was patient and kind and instilled lively debate and thought processes and my son really respected him and his help. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve’s services to anyone with a teenager who needs a bit of extra help and inspiration. Thank you! Suzanne
