In my one-to-one online tuition sessions, I employ the Socratic method to engage students in deep discussions and discursive analyses of English grammar and literary texts. By posing open-ended questions and encouraging critical thinking, I create an interactive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their thoughts and interpretations. This approach not only fosters a sense of ownership over their learning but also enhances their appreciation for literature. I guide them through the intricacies of grammar and style while exploring the richness of literary themes, ensuring that each session transforms into an enjoyable journey into the world of language and storytelling.

Drawing from my extensive knowledge of literary history, gained through my master's degree and personal study, I integrate discussions of great works and their authors into our lessons. My experience teaching in schools has honed my skills in exam techniques, enabling me to assist students in unlocking higher grades effectively. I focus on polishing their analytical skills and writing finesse while making the learning experience both enjoyable and engaging. By instilling a love for literature, I aim to inspire my students to become lifelong readers and thinkers, cultivating an appreciation for the written word that transcends the classroom and enriches their lives. Together, we explore the power of literature, transforming it from mere study into a source of joy and inspiration.

I will be undertaking all my lessons online and have carefully trained in how to best utilise these facilities to make for the best and most successful sort of tuition available.
