About Me

I am a passionate English tutor, and I always try to foster an enthusiasm for literature in all my students. When teaching, I aim to provide clear and concise explanation, assess understanding and provide detailed feedback and encouragement.

Education is not just for exams. I aim to build confidence, encourage independence, and inculcate positive habits which last for life.

I can offer:

- Tailored lesson plans to suit the learner’s needs.
- A comprehensive program for all main exam boards and literature texts.
- Verbal feedback during sessions and detailed written feedback on optional assignments.
- Lessons adapted for a range of abilities.
- Warmth, enthusiasm and (occasionally good) humour.

Topic Expertise

I am a subject expert in English Language and Literature and have taught the AQA and Edexcel Exam boards for GCSE and A Level.

I am well acquainted with a number of the main texts taught by exam boards. I can also research and teach any text given sufficient time in advance. I am particularly familiar with:

A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Merchant of Venice
Macbeth
Romeo and Juliet
The Tempest
Othello
Hamlet

19th Century Novel:
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Dracula
Wuthering Heights
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
A Christmas Carol
Jane Eyre
Frankenstein

Poetry:
AQA Power and Conflict
Edexcel Love and Relationships

Sylvia Plath

Modern Play:
The Crucible
An Inspector Calls
The History Boys
Journey's End

Modern Prose:
The Handmaid's Tale
Never Let Me Go
The Remains of the Day
On Chesil Beach
Lord of the Flies
Never Let Me Go

As a former law student at Oxford, I am well placed to prepare students for Oxbridge applications and interviews. I am also the head of Oxbridge Law Interview Preparation at my school, providing feedback and practice interviews for 8-10 students per year with case and legislation based scenarios.
