About me

I first started tutoring during A-Levels. I began by offering free tutoring sessions to my peers as part of an initiative led by the English Department at my Sixth Form. This initial experience emboldened my confidence and ability to deliver articulate, personalised tutoring sessions.
I continued this throughout my A-Levels, and as I transitioned to University I began tutoring GCSE/A-Level students of personal family friends, offering online sessions whilst at University and then in-person while at home over the holidays. I kept this up throughout the duration of my degree, and have now tutored a wide-range of students. I'm extremely glad to have done this, as I now posses a wealth of knowledge and experience in delivering personalised lessons which spark enthusiasm.
One of the main things I've learnt is that every individual learns in their own unique way. I believe that once that is fully appreciated and the student's needs are taken into account, great learning can take place. Learning which doesn't simply tick boxes, but also develops deep enthusiasm. This is where my passion lies for private tutoring, as I believe it offers the perfect opportunity to put the spotlight on each student as an individual, and therefore provide them with the means to discover their own unique learning patterns.
In my lessons I like to take a keen focus on offering initial reflection on the text we'll be studying. This gives students the opportunity to essentially 'find their voice', and build their own unique perspective on the work, which I always find helps spark enthusiasm.
Following this, I like to spend lesson time focusing mainly on the three categories of: Close-language Analysis, Character Analysis, and Theme Discussion.
The order will vary along with the student's unique needs, skills, and level of study. Of course with higher levels of study time will be made for more advanced levels of approach, such as: Contextual Discussion, Secondary Readings/Critics, and so forth.
My lesson plans consist of personally developed templates and work sheets which I am happy to revise based on the student's needs.

If I'm being honest, I always used to think English was a bunch of nonsense and just saw it as an obstacle. If you went back to before I started learning with Max and told me that one day I'd genuinely enjoy writing an essay on Shakespeare, I'd have laughed you out the room, but here we are! Even after a month I started feeling genuinely excited about English classes at school and actually enjoying the homework. I went from being a hopeless 3 to finishing with a strong 7 in both Lit and Lang, my only regret is that I didn't find Max sooner! One last note I'd like to add, is that since finishing GCSEs and working with Max I have picked up reading as a hobby, and now read (on average) a book every three weeks. I can't believe I used to laugh at people who read books!

Even after two months of Max's tutoring, I now look back on my essays from before and can't believe the difference. Not only has my writing gotten more refined, but I feel as though my opinions have as well. I'm no longer scratching my head desperately trying to make up opinions for texts, speaking with Max has really helped me to generate my own understandings and communicate them effectively. Thanks Max!
