About Me

I've just completed an MSc in Environment, Politics and Development at SOAS, following my BA in History and Italian at Durham. I'm passionate about education and how, when done properly, it can make you see the world around you differently and provide opportunities you never would have thought possible. As well as helping you achieve top grades, I am passionate about helping students see beyond the drudgery of exams, instil a love of learning, critical enquiry and an understanding of where your education can take you. Age 24 my degrees have led me to live in Italy and eSwatini, working for different organisations on work I am passionate about.

Tutor Experience

I have 6 years’ experience totalling an estimated 250 hours of 1:1 and small group teaching to students aged 6 to 60, both online and in person. I have most experience tutoring students in History and Italian at GCSE and A Level, however, I have recently begun university essay troubleshooting for humanity and social science students.

I base my sessions around the philosophy that you bring your academic issues to me and we solve them together. What seems to be the surface issue-the desire to boost a grade- can be symptomatic of a range of learning issues holding the student at a certain attainment level. Over the course of my lessons I like to drill down into these issues and work at a deeper level to resolve issues students often experience across subjects.

I have a good track record: helping students achieve A and A*s in their GCSEs and A Levels in History and Italian, and social science students achieve firsts in their essays. I also have experience working with mature students looking to improve their language skills away from the rigour of exams.
