Second-year English Literature student at Durham University. Offering tailored and engaging lessons

Hi, I'm Jack!

I believe everybody can be a fantastic literary critic, so I offer my students the technical toolbox they need to unlock their own unique, individual voice. My lessons are structured around each and every student's needs, I make sure all of my lessons are adapted to the texts they are presently studying. My teaching methodology consists of dissecting exam questions and developing a strong and replicable exam technique, unique to every individual's writing style.

No two students are the same and no one writer is the same — neither are my lessons. I work closely with my students to make sure they are gaining as much as they possibly can whilst learning with me. I will equip them with personalised (or my own) A-Level and GCSE memory sheets, which condense all of the key information they need into fun, bitesize aids. Of which, they can then use whenever they are studying English.

I know how important it is to feel comfortable whilst learning, so I make sure my teaching style is fun and light-hearted. I encourage my students to feel they can ask any questions they would like to.

Having taken exams with each board at The North Halifax Grammar School, I am confident in teaching both AQA and OCR English. After tutoring in Physics at my secondary school back home, I have gained a keen passion for helping students achieve their academic goals in the humanities.

A little bit about me: I hope to teach English as a foreign language abroad, perhaps in China, once I have graduated from Durham University. I'm currently proficient in Mandarin, up to HSK level 2 and I'm looking forward to reaching HSK 3 later on this year.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message through!

I look forward to meeting you :)
