English SATs Tuition in Harrogate

Reading for understanding and confidence

The reading paper is not simply about finding answers. It requires understanding tone, inference, and meaning, all of which take time to develop. I guide students through different text types, from fiction to non-fiction, teaching them how to find evidence and explain their thinking clearly. Over time, they learn to read with purpose, not panic.

Writing with structure and style

Good writing combines creativity with clarity. My lessons help students plan effectively, use more adventurous vocabulary, and apply grammar rules with confidence. Together, we work on everything from sentence structure and punctuation to flow and organisation, so that writing under timed conditions feels achievable.

Grammar, punctuation, and spelling

The SPaG element of SATs can feel overwhelming when taught as a list of rules. I simplify these concepts, breaking them into manageable sections and showing students how they connect to real writing. This helps children retain what they learn and apply it naturally.

Building lasting confidence

English is not just about passing a test. It is about communication. My goal is for students to feel capable expressing themselves in any context, whether that is an exam paper or a classroom discussion. By focusing on confidence and clarity, we make English an area they can genuinely enjoy.
