Expert English Literature and Language Tutor: 8 Years' Experience Preparing Students for GCSE, A-Level, and 11+ Exams (Online & In-Person)

I hold a first-class honours BA in English Literature with German from The University of Exeter and an MA (distinction) in poetry from London's prestigious Poetry School. I provide bespoke 1:1 private tuition with 8 years' experience teaching exam technique, helping students achieve an average results increase of two grades.

With over 2500+ hours of tutorials behind me, I am able to offer an extensive catalogue of online resources tailored to students' learning needs and to UK exam board specification requirements.

As a tutor, I am meticulous but empathetic, encouraging students to approach literature within its cultural context. Over the years, I've found this brings the text to life and allows the student to fully understand its place in the world. We might discuss the relationship between Elizabethan music and Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or consider the experiments of Luigi Galvani alongside our reading of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This historicist approach has resulted in some really exciting essays from previous pupils, which have stood out from the crowd.
