English tutor for ages 7 to 13

I have a Master's degree in English Literature from University College London.

I have over 5 five years of academic experience, which gives me a diverse knowledge of literatures across cultures, in translation and in different theoretical contexts. In my undergraduate degree, I studied English literature from Chaucer to 20th century Modern Literature. Besides English Literature, I studied Russian Formalism, American Literature, Postcolonial Literatures and Ancient and Modern Indian Literature. Not only did this give me a wide understanding of the nuances of each tradition, but also the ability to do comparative study between them, which ultimately gave me the skills to analytically assess the strategies and technical experiments of each text in the context of a wide tradition.

My expertise, however, is in English Literature. In my Masters at University College London, I studied Modern Literature in English, from Eliot, Joyce, Woolf to contemporary authors such as Claudia Rankine and Rachel Cusk. Knowledge of authors ancient, modern and contemporary makes me especially able to invite the student's interest from different possible points of entry, and also suited to work with canonical texts that are usually included in GCSE syllabuses.
