English Literature and Language Tutoring for KS3 & KS4

Welcome! I'm a dedicated English tutor with a passion for helping students unlock their full potential. I hold a degree in English and Philosophy from Durham University and have three years of experience teaching English in secondary schools in the UK. I also had the incredible opportunity to teach English for three months in Thailand, broadening my global perspective on education.

As a tutor based in London, I offer excellent knowledge of the AQA syllabus and a friendly, supportive approach. I specialize in helping students develop essential skills such as language analysis, comprehension, creative writing, literature analysis, and essay structure. My ultimate goal is to guide students toward success, whether they need extra help or are aiming to excel in their exams.

Let’s work together to achieve your goals!

About Me

As a teacher, I’m passionate about sharing my love for English with my students, helping them not only achieve academic success but also find genuine enjoyment in studying the subject. With a degree in English and Philosophy from Durham University, I have a deep and broad understanding of literature, which allows me to teach beyond the curriculum and encourage students to explore English in a more meaningful way.

While achieving exam goals is important, my ultimate aim is to foster a lasting appreciation for English that transcends the classroom. I provide a supportive yet challenging learning environment, where students feel comfortable tackling difficult concepts while being encouraged to think critically and beyond the obvious. I pride myself on being able to break down complex ideas into easily understandable parts, all while pushing students to expand their understanding and skills.

In addition to my focus on academic achievement, I have extensive experience teaching SEND students as well as pupils who are vulnerable and experience SEMH. I understand the importance of adapting my teaching to meet each student’s individual needs, ensuring that all learners feel supported and can thrive.

Whether it's language analysis, literature exploration, or essay structure, I strive to make learning English both rewarding and enjoyable for every student.

English Standard & Higher Level for International Baccalaureate + English Reading, Writing, Speaking for All Levels
English SL and Higher Level for the International Baccalaureate is a rigorous course, especially for ESL students. I completed the IB with HL English and received a 7 (highest mark) in my final exam. I will be able to go over both Standard Level and Higher Level syllabuses for the course specific to the material covered in your school, and prepare you for mock and final exams. I will include essay writing skills, literary criticism and analysis, as well as vocabulary expansion techniques in my teaching. A brief overview of the key features of English SL/HL as set by the International Baccalaureate Organisation: • Higher level study requires a minimum of 240 class hours, while standard level study requires a minimum of 150 class hours • Students study 13 works at higher level and 9 works at standard level from a representative selection of literary forms, periods and places • Students develop the ability to engage in close, detailed analysis of literary works, building understanding of the techniques involved in literary criticism • The study of literary works in context is emphasised, and through the study of literature in translation the student is challenged to reflect on the role of cultural assumptions in interpretation • Students are assessed through a combination of formal examination and oral and written coursework. • The formal examination comprises two essay papers, one requiring the analysis of a passage of unseen literary text, and the other comparative response to a question based on two works studied • Students also perform an oral activity presenting their analysis of two works studied • HL students comply with an additional written coursework requirement which consists of writing a 1200 - 1500 word essay on one of the works studied

English classes for all levels, from children to adults.
In the classes, the objective is to go deeper into all the aspects of English that are more difficult for the students, reviewing at the same time other aspects that have already been acquired so as not to forget them. Normally, the students' mistakes are due to the previous knowledge they have of Spanish, so we can remedy them with practice and continuous correction of exercises. Before starting the private classes, we will try to establish the student's personal objectives in order to shape the classes to their needs.
