About
Sunflowers & Sonnets was founded by a qualified English teacher with over five years of classroom experience across both primary and secondary settings.
Having taught GCSE English Language and Literature, Functional Skills English, and Primary English, she brings a deep understanding of curriculum progression from early reading through to exam success. Phonics trained, she supports younger learners in developing strong foundations in reading and writing, while also specialising in GCSE exam technique, essay structure and confidence-building for older students.
With extensive experience working with learners aged 5 to 16 — including those with SEMH and additional learning needs — sessions are carefully adapted to suit each child’s pace, strengths and goals.
Sunflowers & Sonnets is built on the belief that every learner can grow with the right support, encouragement and structure.

Feb 2026We’ve seen such a positive change in our daughter since beginning tuition with Steph. She’s in Year 11 and was really lacking confidence in both English Literature and Language, especially when it came to structuring her essays and understanding exam questions.
Lessons are always calm, supportive and really well organised, and everything is explained in a way that just ‘clicks’ for her. She’s now much more confident analysing texts and knows exactly how to approach each question in her exams.
For the first time she feels capable of achieving a good GCSE grade. We couldn’t recommend highly enough.
