History

Experience

I have been a professional tutor for over three years and have helped many students grow academically and achieve their goals. I pride myself in combining my academic expertise and passion with strong interpersonal skills that allow me to create positive relationships with my students.

My students have significantly improved their grades at GCSE and A-Level, going on to achieve top results. I also specialise in admission examinations - I have helped students gain scholarships and places to study at top schools across the country including Eton, Westminster, St Paul's, Wycombe Abbey, Winchester and Harrow. In two of the last three years one of my students has gone on to gain a prestigious King's Scholarship at Westminster School.

I hold a First Class BA in English Language and Literature from The Queen's College, Oxford University. I was awarded a scholarship during my studies due to my academic results in my preliminary exams in the first year.

I also hold a BA in Acting from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. The Old Vic is one of the best drama schools in the world, with alumni such as Daniel Day-Lewis, Olivia Colman, Gene Wilder and Patrick Stewart! As well as tutoring I act, write, direct and teach acting students. My creative work has made me a far stronger communicator and leader, and allows me to work with students in a creative and engaging way that makes me unique as a tutor.

I offer a complimentary initial consultation so that you can meet me and we can discuss your goals and needs before we get started.

About

I love theatre, collecting records, Liverpool Football Club, birdwatching, politics and art. I listen to a shameful number of podcasts and like to read contemporary poetry, old Russian novels and history books. I cycle everywhere, swim and go to the gym regularly. I am also a big music fan, and love going to festivals with friends.
