Online English Literature Tutor Ildiko

I gained my English PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2005 and I have been teaching English literature ever since. I am also an active researcher in the field of eighteenth-century and Romantic period literature with several publications, including a book and articles in prestigious scholarly journals to my name. You can read some of these on my academia profile here:

I love teaching, reading and writing about literature. I believe that excellent teaching is attentive to the student’s needs and current level of learning. I like to start by setting and agreeing on achievable goals and planning a realistic curriculum for achieving these throughout our sessions. I like to give feedback to students that is encouraging and compassionate, while rigorously and constructively pointing out errors and offering positive directions for improvement. I like to introduce fresh and exciting material and challenge students in order to ignite an ambition to succeed and achieve at the highest level. I like to inspire, build confidence and offer a practical route for realising students’ goals and ambitions. I encourage a questioning attitude and big-picture thinking about first-hand material – moving from close reading to an understanding of a text’s larger cultural implications.
