Jack Christie

I help GCSE, A-level and undergraduate students build stronger analytical, close-reading and essay-writing skills - the kind that show up in higher grades and more confident exam performance.

Lessons combine close reading, discussion, and creative exercises (written and non-written) tailored to how each student learns best. I create a collaborative, non-judgemental space where students develop their own critical voice rather than just repeating mine.

We can work on exam technique, timed essay practice, or coursework, depending on what you need. As a mindfulness practitioner, I also bring in grounding techniques for students who find exam pressure gets in the way of clear thinking.

My background is in academic literary criticism and critical thinking, and I bring that into sessions in a practical, step-by-step way: what feels difficult at first usually clicks once we slow down and work through it together.

I hold Master's degrees in English Literature and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and have a full Enhanced DBS (background) check.
