If you are looking for experience, sound teaching methodology, flexibility, and robust critical thinking, get in touch to arrange a first lesson. I am a Cambridge graduate who has over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience.

I tailor my sessions to the individual. I specialise in English language and literature at all ages from child to adult. I can also help with goal-setting, learning strategies, essay writing, creative writing, effective communication and public speaking. I can travel to you, within the Cambridge area. In terms of pricing, I can adapt costs for those on a low budget but I aim to ask for a price which takes into account my years of experience and top tier academic attainment.

I graduated in English from Cambridge University in 2005 and then spent another 3 years in postgraduate study, at Masters and PhD level. I spent several years combining teaching with work supporting people with mental health issues, learning difficulties and autism, before helping to establish a small local charity to support homeless people in Cambridge. I worked to manage the operational aspects of writing and editing a magazine of articles written by homeless and ex-homeless people, and supported the beneficiaries to increase their writing skills and confidence.

After this project came to an end I studied for a CELTA qualification which allowed me to enhance my teaching and tutoring skills. Since then I have combined teaching at EFL colleges with private tutoring.

Availability: A lot of flexibiity at the moment; get in touch and I`m sure I can fit you in!

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: 10 years of tutoring and teaching children and adults
