About Me
I have achieved First-Class Honours in BA English Literature and History at Durham University. I am now studying Educational Leadership for an MA PGDE teaching qualification whilst teaching English at a Secondary School in West London. Having had 3 years of experience with online tutoring and having completed 1000 lessons, I am well acquainted with online teaching techniques. Moreover, my lessons are tailored to the specific needs of each particular student, whether that is essay-writing techniques or working through past papers. My online resources will help any student improve their English proficiency. Having taken GCSEs and A-levels myself, I know what students usually get stuck on and have devised particularly-effective strategies in overcoming those impediments!
Tutor Experience
I have taught over 1000 online lessons on multiple tutoring platforms. I specialise in KS3 (11+ and 13+ Admission Exam), and KS4 (GCSE and A-level for CIE, AQA, and EDEXCEL). My BA in English Literature and History allows me the versatility of teaching, whilst my PGDE programme complements my knowledge and expertise with invaluable pedagogical professionalism.
Topic Expertise
I specialise in English 11+, 13+, GCSE, and A-level. I have taught a range of exam boards, from AQA, OCR, and EDEXCEL, OCR to CIE and WJEC. I have also helped with academic and personal statement writing. I also extensively focused on teaching grammar, spelling, vocabulary, and creative writing. At University I have studied anything from Victorian Literature to Shakespeare and Poetry.
In terms of History, a subject I have also taught a fair bit, I specialise in GCSE and A-level curricula. My second and third years at university have focused primarily on Late Modern History, especially American and European during the interwar (especially Nazi Germany) and post-Second World War years - namely, the Cold War, American Foreign Policy, and the USSR.
