Personal Message: Hello. I'm an approachable tutor with a passion for my subjects. I have a Literature BA from Cambridge and an MA in Creative Writing. I love working with students on comprehension and essay writing, whether for Primary, GCSE, A Level or University.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: My background is in English literature and writing. I studied English Literature through to Bachelors degree level at Cambridge and then took a Masters in Scriptwriting (involving storytelling, creative writing etc) so I primarily teach English. I am familiar with the 11+ requirements and GCSE and A Level syllabus. I also teach essay writing, as I know this can be an area where students can lack confidence at any age and in any subject. For younger students, I teach Maths. I also tutor Fine Art up to GCSE, and Media Studies for GCSE and above.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University (2:1) and a Masters with Distinction in Scriptwriting (for Film). I studied Maths and Art to A Level.
What kind of experience do you have?: I've tutored students of all ages from primary school to post-graduate. Aside from tutoring many students since leaving university, I have organised and run an arts class for children 11-15 years. I also worked with a charity using the arts to educate and inspire young homeless people.
How much do you charge?: I generally charge £30-40 per hour. If I have to travel particularly far I may charge an extra £5 for expenses.
Where do you teach?: I'm generally based around Archway and Crouch End, but can tutor many places in North London (Finsbury Park, Holloway, Highgate, Angel, Islington). Please get in touch and let me know where would suit you.
When are you available?: I am very flexible and can tutor on weekdays after school and any time in the day during school holidays.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: For English, I teach all ages from Key Stage 2 through to university and adult education. The best thing to do is get in touch with me and we can have a chat about your individual needs.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: 11+
GCSE English
AS and A Level English
Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees in any subject where essay writing is required
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: I have had a CRB check but it is no longer up to date.
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.: Many of my students now work with me via email. Students can send me essays or other work via email and I will return feedback the same way. THis is a good way of working on structure, strength of argument and ideas, though it can be worth an initial meeting to discuss essay content. Rates still apply as £30 per hour. I keep track of time spent reading work and providing feedback and charge accordingly. Generally feedback on a 1500-2000 word essay take around an hour so will cost £30.
Tell me about some of your current students.: I currently tutor a wide range of students. I have two families preparing their children for the 11+ exam a year or so in advance. I teach them English and Maths, focusing on the Key Stage 2 syllabus and supplementary writing and comprehension exercises likely to come up in the 11+ exam.

I have an A-Level English Literature student with whom I am working on Shakespeare coursework, a GCSE student studying Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and completing Creative Writing coursework.

I currently have students with whom I work on essay writing. One is in year 8 and we are working on building writing confidence, and one is a post-graduate MA student, with whom I am working on essay structure, vocabulary and argument.

I also have a young art student, aged only 7 and quite a prodigy. We are working on taking their talent the next level, looking at light and shading and perspective to make drawn objects look three dimensional, and expanding into mixed media.
Do you have a personal message for students?: I am very easy-going and approachable, and in my tutoring sessions, no question is wrong or stupid. I aim to help you play to your strengths and hopefully help you find the fun and interest in your work.
