About Me
Academically, my particular areas of interest are the works of Shakespeare and Tom Stoppard, medieval Italian poetry and early modern and modern French theatre. In my free time I host a radio show, practise martial arts, volunteer with the educational charity Jacari, act in and direct plays, travel the world and bake really really good cakes.
Tutor Experience
I've been teaching with Spires for over a year, and I've had several long- and short-term clients over this period. All my students have made highly encouraging progress and have given me very positive feedback.
Off Spires, I have a wide range of teaching experience, both paid and volunteering, in a variety of languages and to both adults and children. I am a CELTA-certified teacher of English to students of other languages, and have outstanding academic credentials (A* at A-level in English Literature and Distinction in both French and Italian in my Preliminary Examinations at Oxford).
I teach English, French and Italian literature and language, to both native English speakers and foreign learners. I encourage my students to be scrupulously accurate when it comes to the finer points of language and creative and imaginative when it comes to studying literature. I am happy to conduct lessons in English, French or Italian.
I have a detailed knowledge of the UCAS system, and of Oxford and Cambridge application procedures in particular. I'm happy to offer help with personal statements, interview practice and preparation for the MLAT or Cambridge MML admissions test and advice about written work to be submitted.

Testimonials
"I've never had such a high grade in English, so thank you so much for helping me.
I wouldn't have been able to do it without you, thank you."
-Andrei, English GCSE student
"Thank you for all of your help. I got an 8 in my French exam which I am very happy with and I could not have done it without your help."
- Imogen, French GCSE student
"Jessica's enthusiastic approach to English literature and its context in particular inspired me to carry out my own research outside of lesson time to add these interesting ideas to my essays. I feel that Jessica played a large role in my GCSE English Literature studies and she helped me to achieve a level 9 in the Summer! Thank you for all of your hard work and motivation Jessica"
- Joseph, English GCSE and AS-level student
