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.

Dynamic and motivated teacher of 33 years (Graduate of EDHEC, Scientific Baccalaureate with honors, 2 years of preparatory class EC scientific option and 5 years of experience in private home-based courses), I propose courses and intensive reviews in Mathematics all levels and all sections until the Terminale.

Control of achievements, awareness of a practical methodology by writing cards, intensive training in solving typical exercises.

Make room for practice rather than theory in order to optimize the time spent together in solving typical exercises requiring a method (noted together on a form with the course associated with it). The goal is to react in the best way possible to a statement.

Native German speaker offering classes for beginners and intermediates. Both for students preparing for exams or university entrance or adults who want to study a new language. Focusing on grammar, conversational skills or German culture and literature - will adjust classes to the needs of the student.

Also happy to teach English as a Second Language or help with exam preparation for English GSCE, A-Level or Pre-U.

May and June 2026: In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course).

As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others).

I have supported dissertation and thesis students from 2005, as well as granting informal help while I was a postgraduate student of Linguistics at UCL (this includes Institute of Education, 2000-2005). In essence, I can offer help because I have gone through this requirement myself (Aix-en-Provence for French BA, Berlin for Linguistics). Former students have requested this support for: Italian, French, Spanish and Linguistics & Phonetics.

Outcomes: BA MFL students have progressed to an MA after their final year of study, or attained Firsts at Cambridge (and proceeded to a career in the City).

As summers are now a challenge, and the dissertations need to be in by September (at least in England) I can help you with both your writing, research and oral exam. The year abroad really comes to an end in August, the worst time to be thinking about writing and research. I cannot change the weather but can make your path to a good degree smoother.

Tutoring in primary level English and maths from a qualified primary teacher.

I provide bespoke sessions that best meet the needs of the student. I can assess and identify areas that need practice and provide materials for sessions. Additionally, I provide support with homework.

Having taught in Year 6, I have experience with SATs preparation.

Happy to either provide tutoring in person or via webcam.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .

As an experienced English Literature tutor, I specialize in guiding students through GCSE, A-Level, and Oxbridge entrance exam preparation. With a deep passion for literature and a strong academic background, having recently graduated from the University of Oxford with a degree in English Language and Literature, I offer tailored lessons that foster critical thinking, close reading skills, and insightful analysis of texts.

My approach focuses on building confidence discussing texts, enhancing essay-writing techniques, and nurturing a genuine appreciation for literary works, helping each student to achieve their academic goals and excel in their examinations. Whether exploring Shakespeare, modern poetry, or preparing for university interviews, I am committed to supporting students at every stage of their literary journey.

Private tuition in English Language and Literature. For those students preparing for exams I like to take a syllabus-based approach while also allowing time to further explore any specific areas of personal interest the student may have. If a student is not working towards exams but requires private tuition, my aim is to approach the English subject enthusiastically and broadly, highlighting the vast range of approaches that students can take towards discovering new topics, practising new learning techniques and exploring their own personal interests within the subject in the most educationally enriching way possible.
If a student is having difficulties at school I believe I have the skills and personable approach to transform their learning into discovery and demonstrate this process to be appealing and exciting. Learning should never seem like an obstacle. Instead it should be seen as something that enlightens a student to their own potential.

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!

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.
