English Literature is an extremely important and, for many students, compulsory part of education. This class is about improving the skills needed for close, thematic reading of both old and more contemporary texts. Using overarching themes found across literature, as well as giving suggestions for other relevant texts, this class aims not only to help pass any exams, but to also enrich your understanding and appreciation of the subject.

Outside of exams, especially for any adults, this class can be a more freeform discussion of novels or poetry for anyone who wants to enjoy literature on a deeper level but isn't quite sure where to start or what avenues of thought to explore.

GCSEs are surprisingly easy once you understand what you need to do. In this class, I can teach English Literature, Language, Maths and Further Maths at GCSE level.

For English, we will go over exactly what the mark scheme needs of them, learn close reading / critical thinking skills, write essays with structures that will help them beyond Undergraduate level, and create a long term revision plan which will see them achieve their goals.

Hi! I'm Livia, and I love helping middle school students improve their skills in both mathematics and English. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing for tests, tackling tricky topics, or simply building more confidence, I will do my best to support your learning journey.
I focus on making math subjects like geometry, arithmetic, and algebra more approachable and understandable, and I also provide guidance in English, covering everything from grammar and writing to reading comprehension. My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges at their own pace.

I specialise in tutoring French and/or English for school just as well for higher education levels or different age groups. As a native speaker in both languages and as a linguaphile who took interest in learning other languages such as Spanish and Arabic, I am aware of the struggles that might come with attempting to learn a new language. For my students, I would start off by evaluating where they are at in terms of their level of speaking just as well as writing, in order to know what to work on and what they've already mastered. I would provide homework, just as well as challenges to place them in real life situations where they would have to use their skills and knowledge. In addition to this, providing a feedback on what they've accomplished, what needs further improvement and work.

It is becoming increasingly valuable to be able to speak several languages, and finding a personal tutor is a great way to start! This class will help you on your journey to learning French.

I am familiar with young children and I understand the value in making learning a memorable, engaging and fun experience.

I study French language and society at the top university in the UK, so I am able to apply the skills I acquire through rigorous teaching, and transform them into an approachable teaching style.
