I am a 35-year-old tutor with over 15 years of teaching experience. I recently completed my doctorate at Warwick University (2026), and also hold a BA (Hons) in English Literature and Theatre Studies from Warwick, and two Master's degrees (both with high distinction) from Manchester University and Warwick University.

I have worked for several years as a university admissions tutor at a Russell Group university, with particular expertise in supporting applications to Russell Group institutions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions

I have been teaching for over 15 years at secondary, sixth form, and university levels. At Warwick University, I have taught as an award-winning member of staff, winning the Warwick Award for Teaching Excellence (WATE) in 2022 and receiving a further nomination in 2024.

Alongside my academic teaching, I have worked as a university admissions tutor at a Russell Group university, supporting students through the application process with particular expertise in personal statements and Russell Group applications.

As a private tutor, I specialise in GCSE and A-Level English Language and Literature, and have a strong record of results. For example, In my 2022/23 intake, every student achieved their required grade, with all rising at least two grades from when they began working with me.

I take a genuinely personalised approach to teaching, and I adjust how I work to suit each individual student. My own experiences as a learner have shaped how I think about the way young people develop and find their way into a subject. Every student is different, and what clicks for one person won't necessarily work for another.

My sessions tend to be relaxed and informal. I find that students do their best thinking when they don't feel like they're being tested every five minutes, so I try to create a space where wider ideas can breathe and where students feel comfortable enough to take risks with their thinking. A big part of what I do is helping students find their own voice and path into the material, rather than just handing them a formula to follow. Whilst foundational work is important, and included, it is when students feel like they are able to speak on the topic that they excel.
