English Literature, while being a fun and engaging subject, can be equally daunting - especially when getting your ideas down on the page! This class is designed for Scottish High school students, ranging from National 5 to Advanced Higher level, and offers support with how to approach textual analysis, essay writing skills, proofreading, and exam techniques so that your ideas can be conveyed in the best way possible.
I have a first-class MA undergraduate in English literature from the University of Edinburgh, so am up to date with contemporary literary theory and debates. Furthermore, I sat the Scottish National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English exams myself, and achieved A's, as recently as 2018 so I have an understanding of what the courses entail.
I have tutored privately for three years, and am available in person and over Zoom. My approach to teaching English is a collaborative one, allowing for an open discussion of your aims and needs. I can tailor to what each person struggles with in class while providing the information and structure needed to excel in examinations. Furthermore, I will proofread the folio work required for the exam. I find that with this approach, students gain the confidence and skill set needed to tackle their examinations and thrive.

Hello, I am a native Mandarin speaker from China currently based in Edinburgh. I speak fluent English and have experience helping students of different ages feel confident learning Chinese in a relaxed and practical way.

I can help with daily conversation, travel Chinese, pronunciation correction, and structured learning for long term progress.

I am patient, friendly, and supportive. Many learners feel nervous at the beginning, so I create a comfortable environment where you can speak more and improve naturally. I explain grammar in simple English and help you build confidence step by step~
