About Me

As an English literature teacher, I see myself as a guide into the rich world of stories, language, and ideas. I have a deep appreciation for the written word, from classic novels and timeless poetry to modern essays and diverse voices. My passion lies in helping students uncover the layers of meaning in texts—whether it’s exploring a character’s motivations, analyzing a poem’s rhythm, or drawing connections between literature and life. I thrive on fostering engaging discussions, encouraging creativity, and challenging students to think critically. For me, teaching literature isn’t just about understanding books—it’s about understanding humanity, culture, and the power of expression. My goal is to inspire curiosity and a lifelong love for learning through the beauty of language.

English Literature is an essential skill used for English gcse which I have spent a lot of detail looking in to and I - myself changed my own gcse grades drastically using a lot of time and grade specific research. I specialise very confidently in Macbeth, an Inspector calls and Christmas Carol, however research for other topics will be covered in detail before we begin sessions. I intend on supporting my students with mindmaps, pushing them to explore deeper meanings which the examiner may have not heard and also grading exam answers. I want to make this as affordable as I can as I myself was once in this position and any student is capable of drastically changing their grade. I am very passionate about this subject and want other people to see the joy in it too. We can also cover love and relations poetry or war/conflict.

Sociology is another subject I’m extremely passionate about and genuinely enjoy, I intend on going through exam papers and making mind maps and analysis on key sociologist and theories. I studied family, research methods and crime at gcse and (currently) second year on sociology A level studying education, family and households and crime this year.

English is my native language, I read a lot of poetry and have taught some family members English in our own ESOL style type of class so I am willing to help anybody else who may be struggling

English Literature is an extremely important and, for many students, compulsory part of education. This class is about improving the skills needed for close, thematic reading of both old and more contemporary texts. Using overarching themes found across literature, as well as giving suggestions for other relevant texts, this class aims not only to help pass any exams, but to also enrich your understanding and appreciation of the subject.

Outside of exams, especially for any adults, this class can be a more freeform discussion of novels or poetry for anyone who wants to enjoy literature on a deeper level but isn't quite sure where to start or what avenues of thought to explore.

For people wanting to use french in everyday situations, I propose the communicative approach, focus on communication rather than grammar structures. This approach takes the focus off the language by stressing the content. The idea is to communicate fluently.
(If you were to learn how to repair a bicycle, for example, you would learn bike vocab then would then be able to communicate in French by using the relevant vocabulary and conveying their feelings, ideas and thoughts.)

For students wanting to learn French in a more literate approach, I propose analytic lectures of French classics, or any desired text. This can help for more elaborate grammatical structures and thorough vocabulary.
In addition to strengthening a more distinctive way of expression, you'll enhance your French culture

Being Anglo-Norwegian but having grown up in Italy I realise how fortunate I am to have had a bilingual upbringing. Mastering a new language presents many benefits from strengthening cognitive abilities to providing more job opportunities or simply making travel easier and more fun.

My courses in English or Italian are tailor-made to suit the student's needs and expectations. Creative and interesting classes will cover the fundamental language skills of speaking, reading and writing. Students can work on improving their English or Italian in their field of study or interest. Below are some of the skills students can acquire in my classes:

Speaking - improve pronunciation and practice conversation strategies

Reading - develop vocabulary and reading strategies

Writing - confidently use grammatical patterns and sentence constructions to write clear, coherent and well developed paragraphs

I am here to support children in their current studies of English or Maths at GCSE level or lower. I am happy to support these skills for younger children varying on their age range.
I have experiance tutoring children in year 11, and older. I have also had experiance engaging with children with disabilities and tutoring them indevidually. I would be happy to teach someone that may require extra help in this way.
Feel free to contact me about any questions you may or may not have.

I have trained students and adults for English tests, particularly for IELTS and TOEFL for over a year. I also tutored students in science and basic math, helped them with their homework and provided them with a comfortable space to ask questions, clear doubts and have fruitful discussions.

I have mastered the exam techniques you need to pass your GCSE first time with no stress. We will not just look at the content needed to pass but also skills like time management to make sure the exam is passed with ease efficiently. I work with students at any level with any special needs and my lessons are tailored for every individual student.

Tutoring for GCSE Maths and English offers personalized support to students, filling knowledge gaps and boosting their confidence. I will provide clear explanations, problem-solving strategies, and tailored exercises to enhance understanding and skills. In Maths, they develop logical reasoning and numerical fluency learning the specification for GCSES ranging from calculus to statistics.In English, I refine reading comprehension, writing, and communication abilities. Through individual attention and targeted guidance, as well as looking through ranges of devices.

Close analysis is something you will need whether you are taking English literature exams or whether you are thinking of writing your own poems. It always helps to know how to analyse one first. In this class, you will learn key tips on how to improve your close analysis, specifically working on spotting and defining literary devices while also making links to how they function. Focusing on the structure, tone, and narrative voice, you will learn how to dissect a poem, speak about it, or write about it, effectively adding a new layer to your argument. It will be an accessible and concrete way to address these abstract concepts of literature, helping you further your knowledge in the world of poetry.

I have been teaching Italian for more than 30 years. I started in Milan, I then went to San Francisco and now here in London. My first lesson with you would be to assess your level and start speaking Italian by writing in the chat if we are on Skype or on your notebook if we meet face to face. I use also paintings to explore vocabulary and if you live here in London, we would meet at the National Gallery for example and explore the Italian language through what we see in the painting.

I am an ex-Oxbridge student (I studied at Somerville College, Oxford, 2020-2023) offering tutoring and preparation aid for anyone thinking of applying to Oxford or Cambridge. I offer help getting to grips with the ELAT paper as well as help understanding how to prepare for your Oxbridge interviews. We can even start from the beginning and work on your personal statement.
Oxbridge applications have a very specific style to them that is often quite different to the teaching of English at most secondary schools. With specialised tutoring from a successful applicant, you can feel more confident about this process! My current success rate with Oxbridge applicants is 100%, however it is important to say that entry can never be guaranteed.
