About us
Northbridge Tutoring
Northbridge Tutoring is a boutique agency of specialist English tutors, founded by Genna, a UK-qualified English teacher and examiner with over 20 years' experience and a former Head of English and Drama. We support students from Year 5 through to university applications, on a simple belief: every student deserves a teacher who genuinely loves their subject and knows how to bring it alive.
Today our tutors - all hand-picked by Genna - work with families across London, the Gulf, Europe and Asia, preparing students for GCSE, IGCSE, IB, A Level and EAL English, as well as creative writing, book club and university application support.
Specialist English tutors
Every tutor on our roster is a subject specialist, from IB and GCSE examiners to published writers and university lecturers. We only take on tutors we would trust with our own children.
Small groups, real attention
Class sizes are kept deliberately small, so every student is heard, marked thoroughly, and stretched to their next level - with the warmth of a tutor who knows them by name.
Structured 10-week courses
Each course is a carefully sequenced ten-week arc with clear learning outcomes, weekly written feedback, and resources students keep for life.
Built for international families
Live sessions across UK, Gulf, European and Asian timezones. Times are shown in your local time automatically, and Dubai students have extended 90-minute slots.

Genna helped my daughter understand exactly how to structure her essays. Her confidence improved within weeks.
The teaching is calm, focused and incredibly clear. My son finally knows what examiners are looking for.
The feedback was detailed, kind and practical. It made a real difference to the quality of her writing.
We've tried other tutors before. Northbridge is in a different league - thoughtful, rigorous and genuinely warm.
My son actually looks forward to his lessons now. That alone tells me everything I need to know.
Clear weekly updates meant I always knew what she was working on and how to support her at home.
