BIO

I'm a passionate and dedicated English Language & Literature tutor studying English Literature at Cardiff University, where I developed advanced skills in literary analysis, critical theory, academic writing, and textual interpretation. 

My degree has equipped me with a deep understanding of classic and contemporary literature, as well as the analytical precision required for high-level essay writing — skills I bring directly into my tutoring sessions.

I am committed to helping students build confidence, master exam technique, and develop a genuine appreciation for literature and language. My lessons are structured, engaging, and tailored to each student’s learning style and academic goals.

Subjects & Levels Taught

  • English Language KS2, KS3 & GCSE / IGCSE
  • English Literature KS2, KS3, GCSE / IGCSE & A-Level
  • Psychology A-Level

Teaching Approach I believe that success in English comes from understanding both how to analyse and why it matters.

My tutoring focuses on:

  • 📚 Building strong analytical and critical thinking skills
  • ✍️ Improving essay structure and clarity
  • 🎯 Mastering exam technique and mark scheme requirements
  • 🧠 Developing confidence in interpreting unseen texts
  • 📖 Strengthening subject knowledge across key set texts

For A-Level students, I provide focused support on constructing sophisticated arguments, engaging with critical perspectives, and refining comparative essays. In Psychology, I help students understand key theories, research methods, and exam structure while breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable explanations.

Why Choose me?

  • Strong academic foundation in English Literature
  • Up-to-date knowledge of current exam specifications
  • Patient, supportive, and encouraging teaching style
  • Tailored lesson plans to suit individual needs
  • Focus on measurable academic improvement

 I aim not only to improve grades but also to inspire students to feel confident and capable in their studies.
