I specialise in GCSE English, whether that is Literature or Language, I also work well with Keystage 1 (ages between 5-7), helping the children with reading and spelling. My intention is to help children who are revising for their GCSE or Keystage 1 SATs to pass with good grades whilst making them enjoy education.

I specialise in teaching rap skills and lyric writing.
If you enjoy rap music and would like to learn how to improve your technique then I am here to help you!
I have many years of experience teaching, performing and recording my own music. I sing, rap, write lyrics and have performed with a band in the past.
I can cover different styles including Hip Hop and Grime.
We will also cover lyric writing where I can help you with your flows and technique to create your own original material. There is an option to get custom made beats to help you create your own original tracks.
I really enjoy teaching and like to make the lessons challenging and fun.

I specialise in academic writing, english as a second language, ghost writing, creative writing, poetry, philosophy and art.
The course can be tailored to meet the needs of students who wish to fine tune their academic writing work in any subject, delve deeper into literary analysis, philosophical and theoretical explorations applied to interdisciplinary subject areas, and for those who wish to have an interlocutor, mentor, editor or muse to guide them through their own creative process.

Preview the poem by reading the title and paying attention to the poem's form: shape on the page, stanzas, number of lines and ending punctuation. Read poem aloud several times to hear rhyme, rhythm, and the overall sound of the poem. This makes it easier to understand the poem.
Inferring is how we enter into those holes and spaces as we read. When we infer, we figure out what the author might have meant when information isn’t explicitly stated. In Strategies That Work, we make inferences by combining our background knowledge with clues from the words on the page.
Novels tend to be easy to read. You can sit down and become absorbed by a book for an hour or more. Poems, on the other hand, typically require slow and careful study to glean their full meaning. The lines of a poem tend to be more complex, more “packed with meaning,” than lines of text in other types of literature.

Confronting powerful literature is not only rewarding in itself but it teaches you much about yourself and the world around you. In order to get the most out of reading literature, a refined taste and ability to read must be taught.
The act of writing is one of the highest forms of thought we possess. It teaches us how to organise our minds, how to express ourselves genuinely, and opens us to a multiplicity of lives.

Close analysis is something you will need whether you are taking English literature exams or whether you are thinking of writing your own poems. It always helps to know how to analyse one first. In this class, you will learn key tips on how to improve your close analysis, specifically working on spotting and defining literary devices while also making links to how they function. Focusing on the structure, tone, and narrative voice, you will learn how to dissect a poem, speak about it, or write about it, effectively adding a new layer to your argument. It will be an accessible and concrete way to address these abstract concepts of literature, helping you further your knowledge in the world of poetry.

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

I am an experienced tutor with 3+ years of experience teaching English Literature and Language to a GCSE, A level and university level. I graduated with a degree in English Literature and Language from the University of Oxford in 2022.

My specialisms are in feminist literature, Shakespeare poetry, 20th century theatre and literature, though I generally cater for all texts classically covered on GCSE and A Level syllabuses.

Academic enrichment and preparation for University - Oxbridge in particular - is also something I tutor. I can offer close support in tailoring personal statements for a prospective student's application.

I'm a self published poet and short-story writer with a Bachelor of Arts in English with Creative Writing, plus a proven track record of tutoring students in English and regularly performing my poems.

Creative writing, especially poetry, can be a difficult space to access without the right tools, atmosphere and feedback. But with these tools, and regular practice, you can be a more confident and more varied writer, in whatever field you're working in (or would like to work in).

I've found that writing habitually is a therapeutic experience, mentally and spiritually, as well as a good opportunity to connect and share with people.

In this class, we'll work on shaping new drafts whilst learning about international poetic forms as well as producing some free verse work.

My course is not prescriptive, and we'll meet your voice wherever you're at right now.

You'll be taught by a published poet with work experience in the UK and North America. I've taught Creative Writing to university students at a world-leading school, and worked with younger audiences, and I'm happy to work with a variety of forms in English.
