Hi! I'm a 20-year old undergraduate at UCL. Part-time cinematographer and keen pedagogue, I'm originally from Worcestershire, was schooled in local comprehensives, and scored A*A*AA in my A Levels.

            I believe in engaging with a student's original ideas, and trying to build their confidence from small beginnings. For essay-based subjects, I believe the best way to improve is to practice, and clear feedback is essential to a student's understanding of a subject. I try to explain new concepts with examples relevant to the student's own interests, and believe my age to be an asset in relating to tutees.

            From September to December 2013, I worked part-time as a French A Level Teaching Assistant at my old school, Worcester Sixth Form College. I then moved to Cameroon, where I taught French and English Literature to classes of up to 55 students, aged 10-16, at the private, fee-paying boarding school, St Benedict's Comprehensive College in Widikum.

            I am passionate about film, and the visual arts in general. Museum visits are a hobby of mine, as is going to the theatre, playing football, and running long distance.
