Niamh

Hello! My name is Niamh and I graduated in 2021 with a Master`s degree in English Literature. I have been teaching GCSE English full time for the last six months. This has been an incredibly rewarding role, not entirely without its challenges, but even those have offered the opportunity to grow and tweak my approach so I am endlessly flexible and forever growing in my ability to help students. Due to my own education, I am also aware of the stresses and pressures that come with academic qualifications - I understand exams can be really scary and learning daunting, especially when it is content that initially feels difficult. As a tutor, I will draw on my time as both a student and a teacher to develop sessions that cater to your specific requirements.

I have studied this subject to a high level because I honestly just LOVE literature and books. I am still an avid reader and feel very passionate about the innumerable benefits of stories. I also understand that not everyone might get as excited at the written word as I do and I`d love a chance to make the subject more enjoyable for those daunted by the study of English. Every learner is different and my approach revolves around finding what works best for you - I love the challenge of coming up with new and creative activities that cover content in a dynamic and fun way.
