Megan-Leigh Armstrong

As a passionate and approachable tutor, I aim to help students not only improve their academic performance but also build lasting confidence in their abilities. With a strong background in English, both academically and personally, I bring a patient and student-focused approach to every lesson.

I achieved an A in English Literature at A-level and Grade 7 and 8 in English Literature and Language at GCSE, and though I’m currently studying Criminology and Psychology at Swansea University, English remains a deep personal passion. I spend much of my free time reading literature, writing, and exploring analysis — skills I enjoy passing on to others.

My experience includes volunteering at a primary school, where I supported children with reading and writing, and creating tailored activities to support their learning. I also worked as a “Reading Champion” in sixth form, helping younger secondary school students improve their reading and comprehension skills through one-on-one support.

My teaching method is rooted in flexibility and empathy. I take the time to understand each student’s unique learning style, strengths, and areas of difficulty. I focus on building a strong foundation in key concepts while also helping students develop critical thinking and analytical skills — especially important in English. I use engaging, supportive techniques to keep lessons motivating and accessible, whether the student is preparing for exams or just needs extra guidance.

I believe every student is capable of success, and my goal is to make learning feel less overwhelming and more empowering, one step at a time.
