Stella

Hi there, I`m Stella!

I hold a First Class Honours degree in Education, English and Drama from The University of Cambridge, a Masters (in English Literature) with distinction from Cardiff University and am currently studying for a PhD in Children’s Literature at the University of Cambridge.

Academically, I have personally excelled at my own studies and have a strong work ethic which I aim to impart on all my students. I have won several academic prizes upon graduation from Cambridge and strive to achieve excellence in all that I do.

I have a great deal of experience tutoring and teaching at both high school and university level. In addition to my academic pursuits, I own a theatre company and do a great deal of work with young people in this context. I am available as a consultant for drama practitioners or educationalists wishing to incorporate drama into their practice.

I consider myself a bubbly, friendly and approachable tutor but above all else, I am highly motivated and industrious - I do not settle for anything other than the absolute best which my students can achieve! My individual methods are always rooted in a collaborative, creative and flexible ethos. I structure all my teaching around the individual student and their needs with a constant eagerness to review my own practice, assuring that my students gain exactly what they personally need from our sessions.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Experience: I have a plethora of experiences in tutoring and teaching. I have worked in various educational contexts, both in schools as well as spending my extra curricular hours at Cambridge working as a tutor and mentor in English literature and language during my undergraduate degree. I have also tutored EAL students and spent a summer working as a mentor at a Chinese summer school. During my Masters study I worked as a drama teacher at a stage school. Presently, I supervise and teach at University of Cambridge within English Literature and Education studies. My particular research focuses on literary theory and gothic themes in literature written for children and young people.
