As an ex-student of Mr. Lewis, he was not only THE best teacher but a mentor for everyone. The countless hours spent helping me with my English GCSE exams and helping me deal with the stress of school life in general, during breaks and lunches, will never be forgotten (and it hasn’t 8 years later)! Mr. Lewis had the power to take teaching and make it fun for everyone. An absolute World class teacher!

Rhodri Lewis is an outstanding educator and mentor, who I cannot recommend highly enough. Mr Lewis was my son’s form tutor for two years and taught him English and Drama. In the classroom he created an environment of exploration and fascination, encouraging pupils to question and discuss the material they were studying to develop and share an informed opinion. Mr Lewis has an ability to make complex topics easier to understand, motivating his pupils to want to learn more.
He fostered my son’s love of English Literature and Drama with his engaging, innovative teaching style, coupled with his own passion for both subjects. In addition, Mr Lewis provided exceptional leadership and pastoral care. He was a superb role model, providing continued guidance and building confidence in his pupils.

Rhodri has a wonderfully warm and reassuring way of teaching that makes GCSE English feel genuinely accessible. His explanations are clear, engaging and pitched perfectly to build both understanding and confidence. Sessions feel personal, encouraging and well-paced. You can really see the difference in both progress and self-belief.
Liz Doughty, parent of pupil and Deputy Headteacher
He was a very supportive and easy-going teacher! If I struggled to understand something he adapted his approach to a way I was able to make sense of! Boosted my grade prediction from a Grade 2 to actually achieving a Grade 5 in my GCSE English Literature and Language! Great sense of humour and no judgment; just wants the best for his students!

Our son found your teaching consistently engaging and inspiring. The care, patience, and enthusiasm you brought to every one of his lessons made such difference in his confidence and love of learning. We would highly recommend Mr Lewis!
Gabby Covill - parent of former pupil
Not only did Rhodri completely transform the way I think about language and literature, but every lesson was wholly inspiring and engaging. His passion, patience, and talent for adapting to the strengths and weaknesses of each student made him not just a great teacher but a truly invaluable mentor. He guided me to achieve the highest possible grades, leading me to study English literature at a Russel Group university.
Alex Taylor - former pupil
I worked alongside Rhodri Lewis at a large secondary school for four years where we were both English teachers and Pastoral Heads working with students in Years 7 to 13. Rhodri is a warm, supportive, engaging and charismatic teacher. His teaching style is positive, encouraging and approachable. In short, Rhodri is a terrific teacher (and tutor) and I would be happy to recommend him without hesitation.
Jonathan Stephens, Head of Media Studies and English Teacher - Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys
Rhodri is a truly gifted teacher who has had a lasting impact on me, both academically and pastorally. Not only did he set the stage for me to achieve 2 A* English grades at GCSE but was also an incredible mentor at one of the most personally difficult times of my life. He advocated for me at a time when I was failing almost every subject and had extremely low self-esteem. Nearly 15 years and a medical degree later, I still look back on that time with immense gratitude as I wouldn’t be the person I am today without his influence.
