Vinny Cochrane

My English Literature lessons are conversational, but deliver an unrivalled level of expertise. I have a top degree from Oxford. I have a track record of improving students’s grades by at least on tier above predicted attainment.

As a published writer and journalist, I will teach you how to write with flair and structure, so you stand out from others. I have written 35 full length plays, hundreds of poems, and am a columnist for a prominent magazine. With my help, you will never write a bad essay again.

My main areas of high level knowledge are Shakespeare and poetry. As an actor, I have performed in more than have of the Shakespeare canon, and so have close knowledge of the texts and their contexts. In terms of poetry, I have developed a system of analysis which is guaranteed to fulfil all of the assessment objectives for each level of public examination.

Having been an examiner, I know the background machinery of how papers are marked, and therefore how to play the game of the tests. Knowing the secrets makes it easy to succeed.

We will start with a preliminary consultation and draw up a plan of action, and a timetable for achieving your goals. I am available both 1-1 and online. All abilities catered for.

Aside from tutoring, I am a professional actor and writer. I have also been involved in independent films. On the hobbies front, I enjoy retro games, art exhibitions, fencing, and am an avid amateur boxer.
