Hi, I’m Suzy, a qualified English teacher, GCSE examiner, and lifelong lover of words.

I’ve spent more than 20 years helping students succeed in English in schools, one-to-one, and now through the Much Ado Academy.

Over that time, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again: too many students fall behind because they’re not getting the attention or confidence they need to thrive.

In overcrowded classrooms, it’s easy for quiet students to stay quiet. It’s easy to miss the moments when someone’s struggling. And it’s hard to give the kind of feedback that helps a young person feel seen, capable, and motivated to keep going.

Meanwhile, families with the resources to pay for private tutors or independent schools are racing ahead, not always because their children are more capable, but because they have access to better support.

That doesn’t sit right with me. Education shouldn’t be reserved for the few.

I started the Much Ado Academy to change that.

 

Why “Much Ado”?
 

If you’re wondering where the name comes from, it’s a nod to one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, Much Ado About Nothing.

But it’s more than a literary reference. It’s a reminder that learning should be lively, human, and fun. That English isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about understanding ideas, expressing yourself, and seeing the world in new ways.
 

I love this subject, and I know that with the right support, your child can too.
