My Experience
I gained experience teaching English while studying at Oxford. This included tutoring a student in close reading and Oxbridge interview technique. He was subsequently offered a place to study English Language and Literature at Magdalen College.
I also taught English, debating and critical thinking to secondary school students (13-16) while in Sixth Form, and established a Literary Society, which curated lectures and talks to test and expand the educational horizon of engaged students from 13 years old and above, and to bring different year groups together in discussion to learn from one another.
I also write regularly for the Literary Review, and am a Young Trustee of the London Library.
