Information about Emily
PLEASE NOTE: NOW TAKING NEW CLIENTS FOR THE 2023/24 ACADEMIC YEAR.
I am a friendly, kind and enthusiastic teacher with eleven years of experience in education. This includes classroom teaching (first in London, then in Saigon, now in the East Midlands) and an additional six years of experience in home schooling and adult education. I have also been a GCSE English Literature examiner for AQA for the past five years.
I have always been passionate about English and Drama, having achieved A grades in both subjects at A Level (including 100% scores in several modules), a 2:1 in my Bachelors Degree in English and a Distinction in my MA in Writing. It is this passion and enthusiasm that allows me to teach effectively in both a classroom and one-to-one environment. In my spare time I love reading, writing, theatre, baking, long distance running and travel.
Availability: Monday to Friday.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have twelve years of teaching experience, having worked in secondary schools in the East Midlands, London and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam since 2011. I have taught English Literature, English Language and Drama from Years 7 to 13 to a range of abilities and class sizes. I have a special interest in SEN, particularly working with students with ASD and ADHD diagnoses.
Over the years, this broad range of teaching experience has allowed me to work with children with a range of learning capabilities, teaching students for whom English is a second or third language and providing additional one-to-one support for students in preparation for GCSE and A Level exams. In terms of results, I have had success in helping students to achieve the top grade at both A Level and GCSE (in coursework as well as exams) as well as supporting students to turn borderline grades (3s and 4s) into 5s, 6s and even 7s. Beyond the classroom I also have a thorough understanding of the theatrical process, having devised, directed and produced a range of plays, from `Romeo and Juliet` to `The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time`.
Aside from teaching, I work as a freelance ghostwriter. In this role, I have written dozens of books, including autobiograhies and fiction works. This experience feeds into my teaching, in particular with regards to planning, structuring and crafting longform writing.
DBS Check: Yes

Emily helped our son tackle his most challenging subject. She was a wonderful help and pushed on him on significantly from his projected grade. He`s very happy in picking up a 6 in his GCSE. Thanks

Emily has been amazing with helping my daughter study for GCSE English over the last few months. Emily is very knowledgeable and has taught my daughter some great techniques and ideas. Lessons are always engaging and my daughter always come away from them more confident. Emily is kind and supportive and we would highly recommend her. We wish we had found her sooner.

Emily has been tutoring my daughter for a couple of months now. In her end of term exams prior to Emily starting tutoring my daughter received a grade 3. She has just received her PPE/mock GCSE results and received a 5 for both language and literature a good improvement in a short time. We are hoping that with continued tutoring from Emily that she can push for another grade higher in her GCSEs.

Emily is fabulous, her lessons are really clear and well prepared; our son finds the google docs that Emily uses to be a super helpful platform and Emily gives lots of great revision advice. Really helpful and effective tutor.

My son is homeschooled and Emily is one of, if not, the best tutor I have ever come accross. I am devastasted he won`t take English on at A level as I would have been 100% confident he would have got a great grade with Emily teaching him. He got on well with her and loved his lessons with her. Highly recommend Emily for teaching. I have no negative points to make and I am normally someone that does.

Emily has been tutoring my daughter for almost 2 years now and I can assuredly say that I have seen a massive improvement in her English Language and Literature. She is very flexible with her timings and she has also supported and advised my daughter in various other academic-related activities. I would definitely recommend her.

Emily has recently tutored my daughter for English GCSE. She was patient and enthusiastic and motivated my daughter to give her the knowledge and confidence to achieve a very good pass mark in her exams. I would have no hesitation in recommending Emily as an excellent tutor in this subject

Emily is an excellent tutor. Her lessons are well planned out, fun, and very enjoyable. My daughters look forward to Emily’s lessons each week, and they have a new found love for English. I would recommend Emily to any parent. We are very lucky!

Emily is a brilliant tutor, very reliable and listened carefully to all my needs. She helped me prepare for observations at late notice- which was a life saver!
She has a motivating and positive attitude and her subject knowledge is second to none
I highly recommend Emily as a tutor to anyone!
