Stephanie Brookes

I'm Stephanie, an experienced English tutor, author, and learning specialist with over 16 years of proven results. I work with primary and high school students, university learners, professionals, and ESL students who want real progress, not guesswork.

Parents come to me when their child needs clarity, confidence, and structured support. Professionals work with me when their communication needs to be sharp, polished, and credible. In both cases, the outcome is the same: stronger skills, measurable improvement, and renewed confidence.

For students with dyslexia or other learning challenges, I provide a specialised, effective program that supports progress while restoring belief in their abilities. My programme is based on solid phonics principles — I've helped students from primary school through to university, as well as business managers, overcome their barriers and thrive academically.

I am TESOL certified, phonics-trained (Quantum Literacy), and a published author with over 90 magazine articles. My practical, structured approach ensures every student leaves each session with clear next steps.

Every session begins with a short diagnostic assessment to identify your strengths, gaps, and learning style. Knowing your learning style is a game-changer. Every session is fully personalised, one-to-one, and focused on your specific goals — no group classes, no generic lessons.

What you can expect:

- Clear, step-by-step approach building strong foundations in phonics, reading, writing, spelling and comprehension

- Practical writing strategies that elevate clarity, structure, and impact

- Exam-style tasks and feedback for senior and university students

- Business English coaching — emails, reports, presentations, academic writing

- ESL support — conversational English, writing, reading and listening skills

All sessions conducted online using AlphaTuts integrated sessions — no Zoom needed. Sessions are fully personalised and focused on your specific goals.
