I am an experienced and knowledgeable English Literature teacher with an Oxford University Doctorate. My approach is friendly and supportive, stressing the importance of understanding the text and practising writing essays that refer to the correct topics and are well structured.

Creative Writing is a subject for those with imagination, talent, and a passion for literature, film and television, poetry and so much more. Whichever pathway you wish to discover, this class will give you the necessary skills to develop and explore different styles of writing, giving you an example of industry-standard work.

This class can help you work towards English Language/Literature/Creative Writing qualifications at many different levels, hopefully inspiring you to pursue a university education or career in this field. However, if you simply wish to explore your talent in fiction writing, I can provide insight into the industry and university level education of this subject.

A recent English Literature graduate, I am keen to impart my knowledge and passion to others. I have experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students using AQA and OCR, though I am open to studying the specifications of other exam boards if need be. This, alongside my experience as a babysitter, taught me the value of remaining patient and emotionally in tune with the needs of others. I ensure that my sessions are enjoyable and tailored to the needs of each individual student as I believe all students possess different learning styles and work at different paces.

I look forward to hearing from you!

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.

I have a track record of helping 11+, GCSE, A-Level and IB students improve their grades by at least two marks, and many of my students have graduated in the top 1% of their class. I also have considerable experience with helping students write personal statements which (given they've met the grading requirements) have secured them a place in Russel Group universities including Oxbridge.

As an editor and writer, I also provide lessons in creative writing.

I tutor clients in areas ranging from:

- A Level - English Literature and Language
- GCSE – English Literature and Language
- Pre-GCSE (KS1,2 and 3) – English
- Undergraduate Degree Level – English
- 11+ (English, Verbal Reasoning)

In the first lesson, I provide a detailed assessment of every student. I start by gauging what my student feels they need help with and what they see as their strengths and weaknesses. Then, together, we will come up with a detailed study plan.

I have tried and tested methods of preparing students for their exams whether it be helping them understand essay technique, close reading of texts, understanding literary techniques, preparing revision material or learning how to speak and/or write persuasively. According to the needs of the student, I can also assign homework so that the student can maintain their engagement with the topic until the next session.

I believe everyone learns differently, and it is my responsibility as a tutor to understand the tutee's learning style so that I can tailor my lessons to the student at hand. This gives them a better chance at grasping linguistic and literary concepts, and, as a result, reaching their full potential.

English Literature is a broad and expansive subject area. In this course, we'll cover a range of topics and authors inspired by current exam board recommendations and my own personal must-reads and recommendations as supplementary. Of course, this course is tailored to you, so we can cover any era or author that interests you alongside any preparations for examination.

The course can span all the way from the Medieval to Today in terms of content, and provide a grounding in whichever literature you as a student could need. For anyone looking to sign up, please include the book/books or period you would like to be tutored in.

Chinese Calligraphy using brushes has been a cultural tradition in Japan, China and some other east asian countries. My beginner class offers lessons in how to handle a brush and simple Chinese characters, also in time for the Chinese New Year of Dragon!

Whether in primary, or secondary school, school support is always important.
Regardless of the stage in life, students will always benefit from tutors focusing on different facets of school life. That might include homework after class, organisation of school work, contributing to higher levels of personal motivation, or managing stress and anxiety for students facing exams.
Tutoring classes are most effective when personalized and individualized. That's why there's nothing better than a private home teacher where the lesson can concentrate entirely on the specific problems of the student in question.

The most requested topics:

Tutoring, Math lessons, English lessons, Science, Computer lessons, Biology , Home Art, Dance, Drawing.

My tutoring sessions are designed for advanced school students who want to explore literature more deeply and improve their writing and analysis skills. I can offer the support needed to excel at school work and exams, paying close attention to acquiring high grades, or I can offer a tailored approach that responds to the interests of the student, encouraging their love for the subject. The most important things we'll focus on are building up the student's confidence, and strengthening their ability to express their ideas clearly.

Whether you're looking to strengthen your essay writing, enhance your critical thinking, or simply gain a better grasp of these subjects, my classes offer an engaging and supportive environment to help you succeed.

I am familiar with many examining boards, such as AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel.

My goal is to:
- Provide personalised support to help the student overcome their academic challenges, instilling confidence in the topic.
- Strengthen the student's understanding of exam board 'Assessment Objectives', equipping them to approach exams strategically. (Exams are like a game - knowing the rules makes success easier).
- Enhance writing skills by reinforcing PEA structure (Point, Evidence, Explain) for clear and effective responses.
- Offer practical advice on revision techniques, study tips, and tools to boost the student's performance.

I achieved two 9s at GCSE in English Literature and English Language in 2017.
I earned an A in English Literature at A-level in 2019.
Graduated with First-Class MA Honours in English Literature from Edinburgh University in 2024.

I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

Speak Spanish with confidence and ease!
My classes are designed for people who want to truly communicate — not just memorize rules. You’ll learn useful vocabulary, key grammar, and natural expressions through real conversations, games, music, and modern Hispanic culture. I'm a a Comparative Literature student from Latin America, so my Language classes would be embedded in cultural topics as a path to learning Spanish.

Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, I’ll help you make real progress with dynamic lessons and tailored support.
