Hi! I'm an English tutor with a real passion for helping students unlock their potential in both English Literature and Language. Having studied these subjects at the University of Oxford, and previously achieved A*A*A*A at A Level and straight 9s at GCSE, I bring not only strong academic credentials but also a deep understanding of the challenges students face at every level of their secondary school journey.

What sets me apart is not just my academic background, but my commitment to making English accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone. Whether you're aiming for top grades or working to build your confidence, I tailor each session to your goals, learning style, and pace. I’ve worked with students of all abilities, and I understand that success in English isn’t just about essays and exams—it’s about finding your voice, developing clear thinking, and expressing yourself with confidence.

My time at Oxford has given me a solid foundation in critical thinking, textual analysis, and academic writing, and I draw on this experience to help students deepen their understanding of texts and sharpen their analytical skills. I also know how to break things down clearly, whether you're struggling with Shakespeare or finding unseen poetry daunting. With the right support and a few strategies, I believe any student can make real progress—and even start to enjoy the process!

My approach is friendly, supportive, and encouraging. I create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes because that’s how real learning happens. I also offer guidance on revision strategies, essay planning, exam technique, and time management—key skills that make a big difference when it comes to getting the results you want.

If you're looking for someone who knows the subject inside out, understands the exam systems, and genuinely enjoys helping students grow in confidence and ability, I'd love to work with you. Whether you're preparing for GCSEs, A Levels, or just need extra support with schoolwork, I’m here to help at every step of the way.

I am based in London but offer online lessons, so can teach you no matter where you're located.

My teaching is student-led, responsive, and rooted in curiosity. I focus on building critical thinking and communication skills through discussion, questioning, and active engagement with texts. Every session is tailored to the individual— whether that means simplifying complex ideas or pushing high-achieving students further— ensuring progress feels both manageable and meaningful.
