I am happy to do lessons tailored to your needs. Whether you want us to analyse your chosen text together or if you just want an experienced person to read your essay, I will adjust to your needs.

I have first-hand experience with the International Baccalaureate (IB), achieving a 7 in English A: Literature and an A in my English Literature Extended Essay (EE). These skills are transferable to GCSE, and I can help regardless of your school's program.

I have experience teaching both debating and public speaking across age groups, and I have also tutored students one-on-one on their essays.

Preparation for my lessons:
- Email me the text/extract you are doing so I can prepare if needed before the lesson
- If you want me to look over an essay, send it beforehand. Even if you just want me to give advice, I would prefer to have a brief introductory call so you can tell me what you want. I will not rewrite essays; I will only give you advice and areas of improvement tailored to whatever you send me.
- If you only want to discuss the text/extract and you don't feel comfortable sending an essay, let me know what grade you are in school and try to describe your reading/writing level.
- Tell me if you want advice/improvement in a specific area so I can prepare some resources beforehand

After each lesson:
- Depending on your progress in the lesson, homework may not be essential; however, if you wish to be given further work, let me know so I can email it to you after the lesson
- I am available to email in between lessons - if you have any brief questions that don't need to be answered through a call, I will respond to your email in a timely manner
