I am an Oxford English Literature graduate with over ten years of experience as a tutor, working both in person and online. In the past I have provided help with the following:
- exam syllabuses
- practical criticism
- creative writing
- essay structure
- literary theory
- literary techniques
- exam technique
- coursework support
- university interview preparation
I have taught a wide age range, from KS3 up to degree level learners.
I am passionate about helping students to express themselves more clearly in written form, develop their ideas and engage with the deeper meaning in literature. I usually find that maintaining flexibility and developing teaching around a student's specific needs is the best approach. I believe that developing a student's understanding of technique is key so that they can form their own responses to literary texts.
Although my main focus is English Literature, I am also happy to help with essay structure and clarity in other subjects where relevant or required and have helped students from disciplines as diverse as Media Studies, History and Psychology in the past.
