• Oxford, english language and literature
• Oxford/London

I am graduating this year with a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford. Throughout my time at Oxford I have studied the bredth of English Literature, but have specialised in earlier periods. As a large part of the Oxford course is taken up by this (with Old English and Middle English featuring heavily), I am able to support students in this notoriously difficult aspect.      I have a great love of both literature and language that would love to share with my students.     I achieved 39 points in the IB Diploma, studying four higher subjects, as opposed to the usual three.     HL English Literature - 7  HL Physics - 5  HL Drama - 7  HL History - 5  SL Russian - 6  SL Maths - 6

            My tutoring approaching branches from the individual tutee and what particular concerns and problems they have. However, during my time tutoring I will cover close reading of texts, revision techniques, approaches to exam questions, and how to engage with literary criticism.      Additionally having studied language, alongside literature, I understand the importance of this in work and applications to university level.     I scored highly on my entrance exam (ELAT) to Oxford, so am well versed in how to study and excell in this.

            Having run numerous classes at school for younger years, I am well aquainted with how to successfully plan and execute lessons.     I also informally tutored many of my peers at IB level.

            One of my greatest passions is journalism. I have written and edited for student papers, alongside completing work experience at The Sunday Times.     I am also a keen actress, having been involved in many performances from school to university level.     Finally, I have been a cheerleader during my time at Oxford!
