I love one-to-one tutoring because I get to tailor my lessons to suit each student`s needs, personalising the content so that it deals with the areas which concern them the most, in ways that engage their individual interests. My after class reports make it easy to track your child`s progress and to encourage their improvement with the weekly homework I set.

I tutor across multiple exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and Cambridge International. I hold a current DBS and a 1st class MA in English Literature from the University of St Andrews, and have over 4 years of tutoring and mentoring experience.

Between 2020 and 2022 my GCSE English Literature and English Language students obtained excellent grades with 95% obtaining a level 7, 8 or 9. My students sitting their A Level in English Literature also achieved excellent results with 90% obtaining an A-A* grade.

Availability: I currently have availability at 18:00 and 15:00 on Tuesdays.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have improved my student’s grades on an average of 2.5 grade boundaries. My A Level students have moved up from Ds to Bs and Cs to As and A*s. My GCSE students have increased their grades from a 4 to a 7 and 5 to an 8. My KS2 SATs students have also achieved consistently high marks in reading comprehension, spelling and grammar. Through my teaching efforts in 2014 I raised the A*-B grade average for A Level English Language at Portsmouth College by 87.5%. Every one of my students have been able to fulfil the conditional offers of their chosen Universities.
