Nina

I`m a calm, friendly and experienced English and Biology tutor with a deep love of literature, natural sciences and the arts. Before graduating from UCL with a degree in English, I studied Biology at Manchester University and keep my love of science alive through reading journals and through tutoring Biology.

I also love writing and have previously published poetry, taught creative writing and edited a novel. In my current writing practise I take inspiration from both experience and a wide range of disciplines, including critical theory (particularly on race) to youtube videos, visual art, theatre, and the field of embodied cognition.

Availability: I am available Monday-Wednesday 4-8.30 pm, Thursday 7-9 pm and have the possibility of Sunday or Friday evening availability, with Mon-Thurs strongly preferred.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I have over three years of experience teaching English Literature/Language and Biology from KS1 through to A-level to students across a wide range of backgrounds. I take an empathetic and responsive approach to teaching and work according to the individual needs of the student, fostering confidence and academic improvement. I work with each student to develop an overall study plan and develop more detailed lesson plans to achieve their aims, always allowing flexibility.

Recently I`ve worked as an academic tutor with Oxford Royale teaching advanced literature and creative writing to classes of students age 13-18. I facilitated workshops, seminars and classes and received excellent feedback from students and staff alike, consistently receiving top scores from senior-teacher led lesson observations.

Additionally I have worked as tuition manager with a top London tuition agency, which has given me excellent knowledge of the UK education system and the requirements of various exam boards.
