What is the ‘Much Ado Academy’?
The Much Ado Academy is a live, online GCSE English tutoring program that combines the benefits of expert teaching and small-group learning to drive real results.
No Contracts, No Hidden Fees: Stay as long as it helps – no long-term contracts or surprise charges.
Affordable Flat Pricing: All this from £30 per week (billed monthly) – less than the cost of one private lesson with an equally experienced teacher.
GCSE-Focused Curriculum: Lessons are interactive, feedback-rich, and fully aligned to the GCSE English Language & Literature curriculum.
Small Group, Live Lessons: Your child joins a small group of peers for 1–3 live, online lessons per week, so they get personal attention, targeted feedback and support, plus the motivation of a group.
Expert Instructor: All lessons are taught by Suzy, a qualified GCSE English teacher, tutor and senior examiner with 20+ years of experience.

Nudrat - Y11 parent
I highly recommend Suzy to anyone seeking a professional, highly skilled, reliable and caring Tutor. The fact that she's an examiner makes all the difference as she applies these skills to her teaching, helping students identify and address any weaknesses they may have, before the exams arrive.
Put simply, Suzy is brilliant at what she does!
