English with an Oxbridge-Approved Tutor — incl. for Academic Skills, Dissertations, Papers, Applications, Entrance Examinations & More
I offer individually tailored lessons in English, drawing on my extensive experience researching and teaching the subject at the University of Cambridge — from which I am about to obtain a PhD, have an MPhil, and where I have for the past almost four years also provided instruction and dissertation supervision to undergraduate students across a wide variety of modules (including both more general courses within literary and linguistic history, theory and analysis, such as 'Practical Criticism & Critical Practice I' and 'II', and more specialist courses within texts and contexts of the period 1830–Present, such as 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1830–1945', 'English Literature & Its Contexts 1870–Present' and others) and assessed applicant entrance examinations (including as part of the 'Cambridge English Language Aptitude Test' and 'Cambridge Modern Languages Aptitude Test').
I am especially capable of not only teaching within the subject (or for the purposes of written and/or oral examinations within it), but also improving students' critical and analytical capabilities, and ensuring they can effectively read, analyse, research and write about texts in the arts and humanities, whether for the purposes of examinations or coursework (having assisted across a number of MA dissertations, BA dissertations, papers and assignments, EPQs, EEs, IAs, and other extended pieces of independent work — from those in literature and language to those in political and social studies, with essential academic skills being, after all, highly transferable).

About Me
I specialised in English at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, where I undertook both a PhD and an MPhil ('with Distinction'). Prior, I obtained a broader background across comparative European, especially Germanic and Slavonic, literatures, linguistics, languages, and related histories and philosophies, completing a BA Hons at Utrecht University, Netherlands ('summa cum laude', equivalent to 'Double Class I with Distinction'), and concluding my earlier school education in Slovenia (with results equivalent to '6A*s' at A-Level and '14A*s' at GCSE/IGCSE level) after having lived across a number of European regions. Throughout, I have been fully funded through a number of academic awards (including awards made through The Cambridge Trust, Le Bas Fund, and numerous others).For the past couple of years as a postgraduate, I have provided instruction and dissertation supervision to (first throught to final-year) undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge (including topics across the modern and contemporary periods, and in critical history, theory and analysis) as well as provided assessment and moderation of applicant entrance examinations and interviews (including as part of the CELAT/ELAT and CMLAT/MLAT). Outside of Cambridge, I have at the same time also provided tuition to a number of independent adult learners, postgraduate, undergraduate, secondary and middle school students through a selection of Continued Education Courses, Summer Schools, Access and Support Initiatives, and privately (in the literatures, linguistics, languages, philosophy, history, and more).
As my work is cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural, I can offer individually tailored lessons within a number of subjects in the arts and humanities (up to MA level within my areas of specialism, which include English literature, language and culture, and up to BA level otherwise), along with aid with critical reading, analysis, and writing skills (up to MA level). In addition to literary and linguistic studies, I have regularly also crossed into art, philosophy, history, politics, and related areas, including as part of editorial roles at The Cambridge Journal of Law, Politics, and Art, Edinburgh University Press and Amsterdam University Press.
Apart from subject- and skills-based instruction, I can also offer help with applications (including to university, school and scholarship programmes) and examination and interview preparation (including for Oxbridge, RG, Ivy League, LERU, and other competitive institutions), having had experience not only participating in the assessment of entrance examinations and interviews, but having had the entirety of my own studies fully funded through a number of academic awards (including studentships awarded by the Cambridge Trust, Le Bas Fund, and numerous others).

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children.
We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture.
My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you.
