Sophie Craven

I am a friendly and inspiring tutor with a deep love for stories and storytelling. I help you to navigate the world of English Literature and Language through taking a deeper look at the story living underneath the text. I create dynamic and interesting sessions with a focus on nourishing your interests and passions in order to re-enliven text and enable a deeper, more creative approach.

Struggling with essay writing? Do not fear! I am a master essay writer and can aid you in discovering simple ways in which to get your thoughts across, as well as work in the flourish and critical thinking needed to achieve excellent grades.

My approach is gentle yet rigorous. My ultimate aim is to create engaging, student-centred sessions which help you to share my passion for stories and how they function in our world. For me, approaching English Literature is not about 'what is right or wrong?' but instead 'what is possible?' when we engage with the foundational texts of our culture - and what do they tell us about the stories we live in today?

I can teach from secondary school through to university level. I hold an MA in Poetics of Imagination at Dartington School of Arts, and am about to begin a PhD in post-critical theory in foundational text at Kingston School of Arts. For those of you at university level, my research interests include mythology, folklore, pre-modern literature, psychology and the imaginal.

I am also available to help organisations and individuals who wish to use storytelling in their work.
