Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
My main subject is English Literature, which I teach to an extremely high standard from Key Stage 3 to undergraduate level. I am particularly thorough and successful with regard to essay writing and revision techniques.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a 2.1 BA in English from King's College London. In terms of A-levels, I have an A in English Literature, and two Bs in History and Sociology. I also have an AS-level in Art (grade B). I hold nine GCSEs: 3 at A* grade (English Literature, English Language and History) and the rest at grade A (including Maths and Double Science). I am currently studying for a Masters in Comparative Literature at UCL.

What kind of experience do you have?
I have tutored university, GCSE and A-level students for the past three years in a professional capacity and with great success. I have also had some informal tutoring experience prior to that.

How much do you charge?
Generally, I charge £25 per hour. However, if the student travels to me, I am happy to charge £25 for an hour and a half basic lesson.

Where do you teach?
I can teach both at my own home and travel to the home of the student. Locations close to me include: Old Street, Shoreditch, Haggerston, Dalston, Hackney, Homerton, Stoke Newington and Angel.

When are you available?
My hours are extremely flexible.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I prefer to teach A-level students, but I also enjoy teaching Key Stage 3, GCSE and undergraduate students.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I do not have a certificate at present, but it would be fairly easy for me to get one.

Tell me about some of your current students.
I currently tutor one GCSE pupil in English Literature and general essay-writing and comprehensive skills; a third year university English student; and a Masters student in 1830 - present English Literature. I also do freelance editorial and proof-reading work.

Do you have a personal message for students?
I am passionate about my subjects and I like to be able to make lessons fun. I am very focused on the individual, so all my teaching will be based on the needs, strengths and requirements of the pupil. I think education should be enjoyable.
