My lessons are friendly, relaxed and focused, and they always start with you. In our first session we’ll talk about your exam board, your set texts and where you feel strongest and least confident, so I can plan lessons that fit you perfectly.

A typical lesson mixes discussion and practice. We’ll explore a text together, looking closely at themes, symbolism, language, structure and context, and I’ll encourage you to share your own interpretations and back them up with evidence. Then we’ll turn those ideas into writing: planning essays, building strong arguments and practising timed answers. You’ll get clear, encouraging feedback on your work, so you always know what you’re doing well and exactly how to improve.

I also put real emphasis on exam technique. Knowing a text inside out is only half the battle. I learnt this myself when my grade jumped from a B to an A* once I understood how the exam works, and I’ll share those same strategies with you: reading the question carefully, planning to the mark scheme, structuring answers and managing your time.

I studied English Literature at the University of Sheffield, hold a CELTA, and have more than five years of teaching experience, including teaching English literature in the British Council’s bilingual section in Paris. I’m also a writer and a lifelong theatre lover, so I especially enjoy bringing plays to life and helping students see texts from the inside.

Lessons can take place online or in person in London. Whether you want to push for an A*, rebuild your confidence or simply enjoy literature more, I’d love to help you get there.
