Julie

Alongside the obvious love of reading, live theatre is a real joy and I am currently a supporter of the Royal Shakespeare Company. I have a never-ending curiosity to learn new things, whether that be the archaeology of Iran or the linguistics of birdsong. When the opportunity allows, I love to visit London`s museums and galleries, and travel widely. I regularly attend the Hay Festival each May.

I am an enthusiastic teacher, who likes to combine a celebration of the English Language, its Literature and the social and political issues of the past and present. My approach would be tailored to the needs of my tutee.

Availability: Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: With twenty-three years` teaching experience from Key Stages 3-5, I have a strong track record of results at GCSE, and at A Level - both Literature and the combined Language & Literature. I currently teach at a leading girls` boarding school in the South West. Within recent managerial roles, such as Head of Sixth Form, I have had considerable experience in preparing young people for university entrance, both in the UK and the USA, including those applying for Oxbridge.
