Mr. Callum Rhodes
Callum Rhodes is a former GCSE English Language and Literature teacher with eleven years of classroom experience and six years as a private GCSE English specialist. Having served as an examiner for both AQA and Edexcel, he brings direct insight into how grade boundaries and marking schemes operate, what examiners genuinely look for in essays, how to teach reading comprehension, analysis, and writing with clarity, and why many students struggle with the “skills-based” nature of English Language assessments. He also understands how to help students achieve high marks in Literature through effective use of quotations, analytical depth, structural coherence, and thematic awareness, and he is well versed in CEFR, IELTS, and GCSE equivalency frameworks as well as retake routes for both teens and adult learners. Particularly adept at supporting students who find English abstract or overwhelming, Callum provides structured, predictable methods that make exam success feel achievable. His tone is clear, calm, encouraging, exam-focused, and technically precise while remaining accessible and easy to understand.
