Hi! I'm an experienced tutor with a background in English Literature and Language, as well as A Level Sociology, English, and Politics. I've worked with students both in person and online, and I really enjoy helping them build confidence and find their own way of understanding the subject.

My style is friendly and flexible—I always try to adapt to each student’s needs and make learning feel less overwhelming and more enjoyable. Whether we’re breaking down complex theories in sociology or working through an English essay, I like to keep lessons clear, engaging, and encouraging.

I’m genuinely passionate about supporting students and helping them reach their goals, whether that’s improving their grades, preparing for exams, or just feeling more confident in class.

Tutoring Experience

I’m an experienced tutor with six years of teaching students at GCSE and A Level. I specialize in English Literature and Language, as well as Sociology, English, and Politics. Over the years, I’ve worked both in person and online, which has helped me develop a flexible approach to meet students’ unique needs and learning styles.

I really enjoy making subjects like literature, politics, and sociology accessible and engaging, whether we’re breaking down complex ideas, preparing for exams, or improving essay writing skills. My goal is always to help students feel more confident in their abilities and achieve their academic goals—whether that’s getting a better grade, acing an exam, or simply gaining a deeper understanding of the material.

I love the process of watching students grow, and I’m passionate about providing support that’s both personal and effective.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring style is supportive, adaptable, and student-focused. I believe that every student has their own way of learning, so I make sure to tailor lessons to match their strengths and areas for growth. I aim to break down complex topics into manageable parts, making the content more accessible and less intimidating. I also encourage active learning—whether it's through discussions, creative activities, or real-world examples—so that students feel more engaged and confident.

Above all, I prioritize creating a positive and encouraging environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their progress. My goal is to not only help students improve their grades but also to build their confidence in their ability to succeed.
