Emily

I am a very experienced tutor with a background in Higher Education and 11 plus as well as GCSE and A-level tutoring. I have a Ph.D. In English Literature and have lectured at Brunel University, teaching core literature and theory modules. I am an also an academic specialising in science fiction and Gothic Victorian literature as well as queer, gender and feminist theory. I also support many students with continental philosophy, including works by Derrida, Deleuze, Agamben, Barthes, Arendt. I have supported many students online during the pandemic and continue to support students at a range of levels from degree level to primary students. I have supported 11 plus students with English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning for several years also and have helped them prepare for highly competative state selective and private, independent school examinations.

My approach is to take the stress out of learning for my students. I create a safe environment that is high achieving but where my pupils feel they can make mistakes and learn from them. I use a thorough, step by step approach so that my students learn the fundamentals of a subject. I focus on teaching my students how to appreciate and enjoy a subject as much as exam technique and revision. I strive to build my students` confidence and to incorporate their interests and passions in lessons in order to make subjects fun and engaging.

Availability: Currently I am offering online lessons only. I am very flexible in terms of availability - if you would like to arrange a trial lesson, please message me to discuss possible time slots.
