I studied English at the University of Cambridge, where I graduated with a 1st in 2015.
I offer a relaxed, patient and sympathetic approach to tutoring. In teaching, knowing a subject well is useless unless one is capable of viewing it from the perspective of someone who does not. As such, I endeavour always to approach a subject or problem from the tutee`s point of view and work with them towards building understanding and proficiency.
I can also take a more consultative approach, by which I aid older/ more proficient students with essay technique and develop their ability to articulate their ideas.

Availability: I am generally available to tutor on weekday evenings.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have tutored multiple students for 11+, 13+, GCSE and A Level in English, History, Philosophy and Humanities, plus Maths, French and Verbal Reasoning for younger students. I have helped multiple 11+ candidates gain entry to their preferred schools; GCSE students achieve A* (8/9) Grades and A Level candidates achieve their university offers.
From 2016-17, I worked as Graduate Assistant to the Drama Department of Stamford School in Lincolnshire. In this capacity, I taught drama classes between year 8 and year 13, helped individual students with drama school and university applications, led rehearsal-based workshops for students between the ages of 11 and 16, and tutored individual students with GCSE & A-level coursework and essay technique. I also supervised several EPQ projects and coached a number of Oxbridge applicants.
