ABOUT ME

Abel Guerrero

Based in the lovely North Wales town of Llanfairfechan, September 2022 sees me begin my tenth year of teaching English at GCSE and A Level, offering private tuition for most of this time.

 

I'm very proud of my consistent track record of exam success with students of all abilities.  Summer 2022 exam results for students I have taught and/or tutored are as follows:

Take a moment to look at my Testimonials, below.  Whilst my subject knowledge is very broad, I specialise in the areas students - and many English teachers - find tricky:  Shakespeare, Victorian Literature, and Poetry

​

I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in English Literature, achieving a 'First' in every module and exam, and was awarded the English Faculty's Staff Departmental Prize on graduation.

PROFESSIONAL TUITION SERVICES

I offer bespoke, skills-based English tuition, designed to complement - not undermine - your existing studies, build your confidence, and help you deal with ANYTHING the exam paper throws at you ...
