About Alisha
A former Teacher of English at a Grammar School in Greater Manchester (Year 7-13), with experience teaching the AQA, Edexcel and Pearson I/GCSE specification.
I hold a BA HONS in English Language and a Secondary English PGCE (Outstanding)-both qualifications were obtained at The University of Manchester.
I have a detailed insight and understanding of the educational system, as I am an Examiner for AQA (GCSE English Language) and a Senior Assessor for OCR (A-Level English Language).

I cannot recommend and praise Alisha highly enough. Alisha is extremely knowledgeable, professional, approachable, punctual and reliable, and has built up a great rapport with our whole family. Alisha has worked one-to-one with my son this year as he had been struggling with GCSE English (Year 11). My son sat his GCSE`s and passed both Literature and Language. I honestly believe that without Alisha`s tuition the outcome to his GCSE results would have been very different. Thank you Alisha, you made the world of difference to us.

Alisha recently offered my son some intensive tuition. She was very encouraging with a positive focus. He really enjoyed her teaching style. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other students.

Helped to teach me new techniques for my English exam and went through what to include in order to get a good grade. Also went through many practice papers with really good feedback and went through other responses to questions to help me gain confidence in my exam and helped me to understand where I could improve.

Alisha is actually as amazing tutor. She is so personable and has given my daughter a completely different perspective and new found enthusiasm for English. My daughter does not give praise easily but she found Alishas help and guidance extremely inspiring . She has enabled her to look at the subject with fresh eyes and has taught her to answer questions in a way to achieve much better marks.Can’t recommend her enough

Teacher of English with experience in a Grammar School & GCSE English Examiner.
I ensure that the tutoring sessions enable students to practise the skills that are required for the exam. This practise leads to familiarity and therefore, an increase in confidence. Written responses are marked by myself and I will give guidance by pointing out areas to improve.
I also frequently share the mark scheme for each question, so that students can understand the elements and areas that examiners seek to reward.

Alisha was very quick to assess my son's needs and was able to identify where he needed to improve for his exam. She is a subject expert, taught my son new exam techniques and showed him how to write better answers. She is an absolutely fantastic tutor and I would highly recommend!
Alisha tutored my daughter for her GCSE's and I can say with certainty, that she is absolutely great at what she does. My daughter achieved two grades above her target with Alisha's help. I would highly recommend Alisha as she knows the curriculum inside out and offers her guidance not just as a teacher, but also an examiner, which made a huge difference. She is professional, dedicated and very talented. I will be having Alisha back for my younger one in the future.
Alisha provided my son with GCSE tuition and with her help, he managed to gain confidence and made great progress. She showed him exactly how to answer each question in the exam, shared lots of tips and studied sample answers with him. This all massively helped him and we are so pleased with his exam results. We can't thank Alisha enough for her commitment and could not have asked more of a tutor. I'm so glad we chose Alisha!

Alisha is a wonderful teacher who goes above and beyond for her students. I went from a grade D to an A with her help. She takes the time to explain concepts using language you understand and will stop at nothing to help you! She’s very caring with so much patience and I wouldn’t have been able to succeed without her tutoring. Thank you!
