Lucas Gus

Online English and Drama Teacher

I graduated with a First in English Literature from Trinity College, Cambridge. I also spent a great deal of my time at Cambridge (and in the rest of my life) playing music (classical music and jazz on piano, and also popular music on guitar) and being involved in theatre and student writing and publishing. My great passions are theatre, cinema, music of every kind and literature.

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored around 10 students in the past two years, at all levels from 7+ to A-Level, and in exam boards from AQA to the UKISET for international students. I have taught both English and international students, and so am familiar with the varieties of difficulty that students can encounter and a variety of approaches for addressing them. I enjoy re-examining the elementals of the subject through tutoring.

My students have all registered often substantial improvements and I continue to be asked back by different families if they feel they need a boost. I'm happy to provide references from students and parents.

Tutoring Approach

I really enjoy trying to individualise lessons for the student's specific needs and so will also try to stoke a personal interest and response to material studied, as I believe this makes for a much more enjoyable and painless process of learning. I am always keen to recommend or discuss specific books or authors of possible help or interest to students or parents. I aim to strike a balance between engaging, personal commitment to making the student see and realise an interest in reading and writing, alongside the necessity of navigating exam strictures and requirements - without making them seem restrictive or off-putting.
