I have experience in both face-to-face and online tutoring. I am also happy to proofread essays for grammar, spelling, structure, style and content. Please contact me if you have any questions or require a more bespoke service.

Last year I gained an MSc in Political Sociology with Distinction from the London School of Economics. My specialities included political sociology, sociological theory, economics, and the sociology of culture.

I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in American Studies from the University of East Anglia in Norwich, an interdisciplinary subject which included the study of History, Literature, International Relations, Politics and Sociology.

I also spent a year studying at Reed College, a liberal arts college in the United States, for which I was awarded a Commendation for Academic Excellence from the Faculty.

I have also taken evening classes in Micro and Macroeconomics at Birkbeck College, University of London, and gained a Certificate in Spanish Language from the LSE.


My academic interests are broad. I am very interested in sociological theories of race and gender and how they intersect with contemporary debates about class. I have worked on projects to help understand how social media is changing political activism. I have an article forthcoming in a peer-reviewed journal of literary criticism.
