Confidence. Clarity. Results.
Hi, I'm Mark Henderson.
Welcome. I’m a dedicated English language and literature tutor based in Chester. My mission is to take the stress out of English studies and replace it with genuine understanding. Whether your child is struggling with Shakespeare or aiming for an A* in their A-Levels, I provide the personalized, one-to-one support they need to succeed where a busy classroom cannot.
Qualified teaching you can trust.
With over 10 years of experience teaching in secondary schools and working as an examiner for major exam boards (AQA & Edexcel), I know exactly what markers are looking for. I hold a BA in English Literature and a PGCE. This background allows me to spot the gaps in a student's knowledge quickly and tailor lessons to turn specific weaknesses into grade-boosting strengths.
Tutoring Services
I offer tailored learning plans designed to fit around your family's schedule and your child's specific academic goals.

11+ Entrance Exams

Why choose Next Chapter?
Private tuition is an investment in your child's future. Here is why parents choose me to guide their children's education.
Examiner Insight
I don't just teach the subject; I teach how to pass the exam. I share insight on how marking schemes work.
Tailored Approach
No two students learn the same way. I adapt my teaching resources to suit visual, auditory, or practical learners.
Confidence Building
Often the barrier isn't ability, it's belief. I focus on "small wins" to build momentum and self-esteem before exams.
How we work together
Getting started is simple. I use a structured yet flexible process to ensure we are targeting the right areas from day one.
The final and ongoing step is a continuous partnership, where we regularly review and adjust the plan to ensure it stays on track with any changes in your life or the market.
STEP 1
Initial Assessment
We start with an informal chat and a short piece of writing to assess current ability and identify learning gaps.
STEP 2
The Roadmap
I create a termly plan highlighting key texts, themes, and skills we need to cover before exam season begins.
STEP 3
The Sessions
Interactive, hour-long lessons via Google Meet or in-person, focused on active discussion and practice, not just listening.
STEP 4
Progress Reports
You receive monthly email updates and marked feedback on all homework assignments so you can track improvement.

I have helped hundreds of students achieve their target grades and secure spots at their first-choice universities.
