Harriet

I am a graduate of King`s College London with a First Class Honours degree in English Language and Literature. I have a range of professional experience from working as an Early Years Educator at a Play and Learn centre to teaching English at a secondary school. I am now a freelance writer and English tutor, and have recently completed a postgraduate degree in Contemporary Literature.

I provide one-to-one tuition for children of all ages, from KS1 to A-Level, as well as adult learners.

I`m an encouraging, patient and knowledgable tutor. I pride myself on my communication skills and enjoy helping students to improve their reading, writing and exam technique. I`m passionate about literature and love bringing texts to life for my pupils through analysis and close reading.

For pupils studying at A-Level or Degree level, my specialist areas include:

-19th Century literature
- Contemporary fiction
- Contemporary non-fiction and life-writing
- Modernism
- Feminist theory
- Performance theory
- Shakespeare and early modern drama
- Gothic literature
