My Passion & How I Inspire

My tutoring approach is centred on helping students to improve their vocabulary, analytical skills and essay writing abilities, and to develop their confidence in interpretation. Confidence, literary knowledge and a strong critical vocabulary are essential to academic success, and I aim to foster an interest in language and literature and to encourage students to see the challenges of their subject as both enjoyable and manageable. I teach exam technique, essay and coursework planning and revision practice and preparation (both in the summer and through the prior academic year) for students commencing GCSEs, A-Level courses and university programmes.

My Experience

I have a doctorate in English Literature, as well as a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Literature and Philosophy. I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in the Management of Learning and Teaching in Higher Education. My PhD focused on modern fiction and twentieth-century French philosophy. I currently teach on several undergraduate modules at a College of the University of London. I enjoy my research, and I have a closely related love of helping people - young and less young - to enjoy literature. I have been tutoring continuously for many years, and before teaching at university I held a variety of other professional roles - in, for example, publishing and social policy. I have a wide range of interests.

I teach in Central London.
