About Me

Currently, I am a postgraduate student of International Relations at the University of Cambridge, with a keen interest in supporting undergraduate students in the field. I hold an MA in Contemporary Literature and a BA in English Literature, and possess a strong working knowledge of French.

I'm a former Head of Sixth Form in British International education, experienced in guiding students to top universities globally. I specialise in Oxford and Cambridge applications, UCAS, Common App, and Parcoursup/Dossier Vert (France).

With eight years' experience as Head of English across two London independent schools, I also support young people to achieve outstanding results at GCSE/IGCSE English Language and Literature, and A Level English Literature.

My lessons were graded 'excellent' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, I have spoken at teacher-development conferences nationally and internationally, and trained postgraduate students as they obtained their PGCE qualification.

Client Reviews

Danielle was very welcoming, and sounded knowledgeable in all subject areas. She listened to my son's explanations of where he would like to focus, and worked collaboratively with him to agree on the focus areas. I had a few questions as well which she answered diligently. Danielle then set up all 5 sessions immediately, and was very understanding about me unfortunately missing the previously arranged meet & greet session. I am excited for my son's progress in English Lit with Danielle!
