I can help students develop English language skills through engaging creative writing exercises and activities.
My classes are more than grammar and vocabulary - we discover the art of storytelling and self-expression.
If you are a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or an advanced learner aiming to take your language proficiency to the next level, I will help you find your unique voice in English.

About Me
I am an experienced educator and creative producer working for the past 10 years in the fields of music, contemporary art, media production, and broadcasting, both in the UK and abroad. I hold a PhD from the University of Aberdeen and have developed many educational projects as a lecturer and freelance.
I delivered theoretical and practical modules in recording and production techniques covering different media disciplines and industry practices in film, radio, electronic music and collaboration. I taught over 300 students with incredible talent. Some of them are now professional musicians, designers and engineers. My students praised my knowledge, passion for the subject and industry and creative flare.
I developed and delivered various modules encompassing audio practices for radio and podcasting, film and music theory, media writing, multimedia production, music production, performance, cultural research practice, sound studies, hybrid media, advanced design projects, dissertations, postgraduate supervision, and courses on composition for contemporary dance and theatre, as well as composing with sound.
Throughout my career, I practised interdisciplinary education. My teaching philosophy revolves around student-centred education, prioritising individual critical thinking and creative development. I believe in creating an inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to actively engage in discussions and share their ideas.

I am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad.

I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.

Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.

I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.

I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!
