My Experience

I have been a tutor since 2005, in which time I’ve accrued extensive experience both in London and around the world, teaching English Literature, Classics, Latin, Greek and Philosophy at all levels up to undergraduate. I have also worked at a small private school, Lionheart, as Senior English Tutor and at an institution in Beijing teaching English to prospective Harrow students. I am very familiar with OCR, Edexcel, AQA and CIE exam boards and have taught whole A levels privately, when illness made attending school impossible. I have assisted with innumerable university applications and all that entails, such as perfecting a stunning personal statement and making sure students are way beyond well-prepared for their Oxbridge interviews.
