NURTURING a love for LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
Jess Bendell works from home in a garden studio located in Muswell Hill, North London. Online lessons can also be arranged to better suit individual students or families who do not live locally.
Teaching Experience
After studying for a degree in English Language and Literature at Manchester University, Jess gained a PGCE in Secondary English and has since taught English in several top London secondary schools, both in the state and independent sectors. These include Fortismere School and NHEHS (GDST). At NHEHS, our founder was part of the interviewing panel and also marked 11+ entrance exams.
Secondary English
Jess has taught secondary English to students aged between 11-18, covering Key Stage 3, GCSE, and A Level. Private tuition is offered to this age range for students of all abilities, as well as 11+ English tuition. There is a passion for making Language and Literature accessible to learners of all ages and abilities, igniting an interest in writers' use of language that goes beyond the limitations of the curriculum. With many years of experience preparing students for public examinations, our founder takes pride in helping each student achieve the best grade possible.
