I have just graduated from the University of Cambridge with a Double-First Class degree in English Literature. I was the recipient of numerous awards and prizes for academic excellence, including the Charity Reeves Prize and Henry Tomkinson Scholarship, both from Girton College. I am a long-term private tutor of two years, and have consistently specialised in Oxbridge admissions.

            My tutoring style consists of assessment-based tasks (past papers and tailor-made papers written by myself) from which I can create lesson plans targeting specific areas of the syllabus/admissions test the student needs working through. For syllabus teaching, I keep a constant awareness of examination requirements in mind, prioritising exam technique and rigorous knowledge of syllabus structure and content. For Oxbridge Admissions preparation, my approach is slightly more holistic, prioritising quick, critical thinking, as well as personal flair and interview conduct.

            I have been a self-employed private tutor for two years, and have also worked for two private tuition agencies. I have over 200+ hours experience in tutoring, and have specialised in Oxbridge admissions (inc. personal statement development, interview preparation, and ELAT and TSA tests).

            I am a professional actor and part-time charity worker in my time outside of tutoring.
