, PRAISE FOR MR BRUFF’S PREVIOUS GCSE ENGLISH
REVISION GUIDE & YOUTUBE VIDEOS:
A straightforward guide with a really helpful intro telling the child exactly what
will be on each paper - sounds simple but cleared the skies for my boy. Then lots
of clear instructions and tips so that even though my child lacked confidence he
began to think he could grasp enough to pass the exam - no result yet but he
came out of both exams feeling he had done much better than imagined possible
before we found this book. Less conventional than other study guides so more
accessible. Well done Mr B.
Since the start of year 11 I went through tuition, a year and a half of revising,
practising and buying almost every revision guide on the market. I received my
mock results and I saw on my paper that I got a U: 33/80. I was disappointed to
say the least. 5 months to go before I sat the exams which determine whether
I can make it somewhere in life and I was currently sitting on a U. I had tried
everything.
Anyways, off with the sob story. My skills in English Language were not
improving at the rate I hoped; with 4 months left my teacher wanted me to do
foundation tier but I begged her not to. Suddenly, I bumped into Mr. Bruff’s
YouTube videos. Amazing! Absolutely amazing! (see that, guys? Mr. Bruff taught
me how to use repetition, short sentences and alliteration for effect whereas
before that I probably would have described his resources as ‘very good’). After
watching all his videos over and over and over again and reading all his revision
guides and looking at his example answers I was able to produce
"astounding"(quote from teacher) pieces of work which allowed me to move from
an U grade to 60/80 in the march mocks which, despite only being 75%,is an A*
grade. I cannot thank you enough Mr. Bruff for how quickly your services
changed my life, as they not only gave me hope for English but you actually made
the subject seem extremely straightforward and suddenly everything glued
together and I began to thrive in English so much that I am even considering
English A’ level. Can you imagine going from a U and then considering doing the
A’ level within 4 months?

,Thank you so much; this book proved to be an amazing and invaluable resource
last year when I was preparing for my GCSE English. This wasn't my first or
even second attempt, but rather my third. I gained, at first a Grade E, followed
two years later by a Grade D. A Grade C seemed to prove elusive to me. Until
last year.
I came on to Amazon, like so many before me, and began my search. Luckily, I
didn't need to look far, as I quickly discovered Mr Bruff. I bought the eBook
and it was literally the best purchase I made throughout my time on the course;
it was like a breath of fresh air for me. Quickly I discovered his videos, which
really enhanced my revision, along with podcasts. I soon shared them with my
fellow students-one of the highlights of the course was of myself and several
fellow students returning to our cars one night, singing one of Mr Bruff's
podcasts!
Finally, after months of hard work, with the coursework submitted and the
exam sat, I joined hordes of teenagers collecting my results. I decided I was
playing it cool, I was predicted a B, but I was extremely doubtful that I would
achieve such a grade. I felt that it was best not to get my hopes up and be
disappointed when the results came out, if I didn't get the grade I hoped for.
So, I predicted myself a Grade C as I felt I had not had done as well in the
exam as I'd hoped, though I had applied many of Mr Bruff's tips and advice.
On the big day, I duly ripped open my envelope, then stood and stared; I
literally could not believe what I was seeing. There was absolutely no way and
there had to be a mistake. I had become one of only three students out of
fifty-seven who took GCSE English at the college who gained a Grade A in the
Summer of 2014. I laughed, cried, danced up and down and celebrated!
It is thanks to Mr Bruff that this achievement was made possible; without his
simple and easy to understand revision guide, which guided me through the exam
and explained what the examiner is looking for, I know my grade would have
been lower. Not only that, but I would have found myself really struggling at
times, throughout the course and falling behind. What else can I say, but thank
you. It's taken from 1990 to 2014 to achieve my goal and I finally did, thanks to
Mr Bruff.
Dear Mr Bruff,
, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the YouTube GCSE
tutoring videos. My daughter had failed her English Language and Literature
three times; she was underachieving at grade U and her teachers lost all faith in
her even to get a grade C. However, even with all the resources and revision
guides I purchased for her they didn’t equate to your phenomenal teaching
standards! She started watching your videos two weeks before her English
exams, from being predicted grades E/F she managed to achieve Grade A* and
Grade A. This feeling was out of this world for her and us, being dyslexic and a
visual learner your style of teaching was appropriate to her learning. She
believes you’re the best virtual teacher that she never had.

Mr Bruff,
I would like to thank you for your infectious enthusiasm and passionate
dedication to your subject, which without doubt guaranteed me my A*s in both
English Literature and Language. Stumbling across your wise, witty and
wonderful videos was like discovering an educational gold mine. I learned so
much but in such a fun and enjoyable way that it didn’t even feel like studying.

Hi Mr Bruff. First things first: I cannot thank you enough for helping me
achieve a high grade for my English Language. Having watching your videos day
and night I managed to get a grade A. This was an amazing achievement as
everyone else in my class got a C or below. I would like to thank you from the
bottom of my heart because honestly you are an AMAZING teacher! THANK
THE LORD that I have discovered your videos because they are honestly the
best videos ever… by far!
Mr Bruff's resources are absolutely amazing! I used these throughout studying
my GCSEs and they helped me achieve an A! These videos and revision guides
