I have recently completed a PhD at the University of Cambridge, and have previous degrees from Cambridge and Edinburgh. I am happy to tutor English and German to degree level, and History to A Level. I aim to make these subjects interesting and accessible and, above all, to encourage my students to become confident learners.

Tutoring Experience

I have significant experience teaching a wide variety of students, from secondary school pupils who need some extra support with English exams to adult learners who want to learn German for fun.

I have experience teaching German literature and translation at the University of Cambridge, and offer private tutoring in English and German at all levels. I have built a strong client base over several years, and have successfully helped many students through their GCSE exams, encouraging them to take charge of their learning and grow in confidence. I was able to help a pupil go from a grade 4 to grade 7 in English, which has enabled them to move on to further education in their chosen subjects.

I have also taught for the Brilliant Club, an outreach programme which offers university-style teaching to underrepresented students. In this role, I delivered a self-designed literature course to GCSE and A Level students. I have a particular interest in outreach work, and in helping students to reach their full potential through tutoring, where they may otherwise be left behind.

Tutoring Approach

I offer structured teaching which is closely tailored to the individual needs of my students.

I usually begin lessons with a warm-up exercise to establish what the student recalls from the previous lesson, making a note of any aspects which we may need to approach again.

For students working towards exams, I will guide them through past papers, working in particular on aspects of the exam which they find most challenging. I work with my students to develop their critical thinking skills, and to help them become confident, independent learners.

Above all, I pride myself on helping my students to feel confident and at ease in our lessons, and enjoy seeing them succeed in their learning.
