Subjects I Teach

I tutor English Literature at GCSE and A Level, supporting students with set texts across poetry, prose, and drama. Lessons focus on developing strong textual understanding, confident interpretation, and the ability to write clear, well-structured essays under exam conditions.

​

Together, we work on:

• Close reading and textual analysis

• Understanding themes, characters, and context

• Using quotations effectively

• Structuring essays clearly and confidently

• Responding directly to exam questions and assessment objectives

​

My aim is to help students move beyond retelling the story and towards thoughtful, well-supported analysis - building both confidence and exam readiness.

I also tutor English Language at GCSE and A Level, helping students understand how language works and how to write about it clearly and accurately. This includes both analytical and creative components of the course.

​

Lessons may cover:

• Language analysis (fiction and non-fiction)

• Writing analytically about language, structure, and purpose

• Developing clear, accurate written expression

• Creative and transactional writing

• Exam technique and timed responses

​

English Language can feel abstract or technical, but I focus on breaking concepts down into manageable steps so students feel confident and in control of their writing.

Alongside English, I offer support in essay-based humanities subjects, including Philosophy. These subjects share many of the same core skills as English: clear thinking, structured argument, and precise written expression.

​

Support in these subjects focuses on:

• Understanding key ideas and concepts

• Developing clear, logical arguments

• Structuring essays effectively

• Using evidence and examples appropriately

• Writing with clarity and confidence under exam conditions

​

This option is particularly well-suited to students who enjoy discussion and want to improve their ability to express complex ideas clearly and persuasively in writing.
