Online English Tutor William

I am currently a PhD student and Graduate Instructor at the University of California, Berkeley. I grew up in North West London, and attended Merchant Taylors School, and then the University of Oxford for my BA. I research 20th Century Anglophone, French and German literature focusing on the post-45 period. I also write creatively, poetry and essays, love to cook and be outdoors.

As a tutor I am dedicated to tailoring my approach to the needs of each individual student. I find it is much more important to ask how something can be learnt than it is to focus exclusively on what has to be learnt. In this way, whilst aiding with the specifics of an exam or subject, my goal is always to teach more portable learning skills. Ultimately, I would like to help each student to a place of self-confidence and intellectual curiosity from which they no longer need my input. In this way, whilst providing expertise that I have gained from the last seven years of university education and teaching, it is ultimately the uniqueness of each student that governs each session.
