** NOT TAKING ON NEW STUDENTS CURRENTLY**

I am passionate about English literature and in nurturing students to achieve their goals. I would describe myself as enthusiastic, knowledgeable, reliable and supportive.

I hold an MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature from the University of Reading.

I’m experienced in working with children to prepare them for entrance exams at grammar and independent schools in 11+ and 13+ exams, GCSE exams and in supporting students develop their skills in English comprehension exercises and creative writing.

I have tutored adults in play writing, arts journalism, Business English, English as a foreign language, International GCSE and memoir writing. I have run creative writing workshops for adults in Reading. I have proofread for businesses and mentored in primary schools.

My first University exam results were Classics (A), Philosophy (A) and English Language and Literature (A).
At A Level I studied English Literature (A), Sociology (A) and Law (A).
