ONE - TO - ONE TUITION

We understand that for some students, 1:1 tuition is the most effective format. Whether it's to build confidence, address specific gaps, or provide targeted support in the run- up to exams, personalised tuition can make a significant difference.

At Peregrine Tutors, we do offer 1:1 tuition alongside our core programmes. Availability is limited and offered where it best meets the needs of the student, but we are always happy to discuss the right arrangement for your child. 

A LEVEL ENGLISH LITERATURE TUITION

At Peregrine Tutors, we offer a specialised A Level English Literature programme designed to build confidence, deepen understanding and raise attainment. Our approach combines expert teaching with flexibility, so that students receive the kind of support that makes a real difference—whether they’re aiming to secure top grades or simply want to feel more in control of the subject.

GCSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE & LITERATURE TUITION

Our specialised GCSE English programme is designed to build confidence, improve technique, and raise attainment across both English Language and Literature. We focus on helping students understand exactly what examiners are looking for—through guided practice, expert feedback and clear, practical strategies.

About Me

Why choose Peregrine Tutors?

We help you soar high to success with GCSE and A-Level English.

My name is Rupert Crisswell and I am an English teacher with over 20 years of experience in some of the top private and state schools in the UK.

As a graduate of Cambridge and York universities and an experienced A level and IB examiner, my wealth of knowledge extends to texts, exam boards, and essay writing strategies essential for excelling in exams.

My lessons are custom-tailored to meet my students' individual needs, focusing on enabling them to write detailed analyses within well-structured essays.

With Peregrine Tutors, all the hard work has been done for you. All we need from you, is trust and co-operation.

He is trustworthy and has been flexible with our family (who has complex timetables to juggle). My son says he has a teaching style which allows him to learn through support, direction and collaboration. Would recommend Rupert to any family / pupil."

    Juie

  • "Rupert has been tutoring my daughter for GCSE English. We started a few months ago and she is making great progress. Rupert is supportive and encourages her to polish up the finer details in her work so she can achieve the grade she is aiming for. We have found him to be a reliable, friendly and experienced tutor."

    Nahida

  • From the start of the year, the focus was clearly on me as an English Literature student and how I could improve. The Zoom sessions helped me get to know my tutors and meet other students who were in a similar position. We often worked together to develop ideas about texts from a wide range of genres and historical periods, which made the discussions more engaging. As the exams approached, my tutor began to focus more closely on exam techniques and practice questions tailored to our specific texts — including support with my introduction for the Othello question on the Tragedy paper. I always felt encouraged to submit work, and the feedback I received was both prompt and genuinely helpful. The tutors knew my texts inside out and offered brilliant support throughout the course. I’m confident that the progress I’ve made will be reflected in my results this summer.
