ENGLISH, 11+, 13+, GCSE, A LEVELS
I was raised in Suffolk and attended Thomas Mills High School, where I studied English Literature (A*), Economics (A*), and History (A) at A-Level. I went on to study English at Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, graduating with a First and ranking in the top 15% of my year. For nearly three years, I’ve worked as a tutor, primarily teaching English at GCSE and A-Level. I also have experience tutoring GCSE Mathematics, Sciences, A-Level Economics, and preparing students for the 11+.
Teaching Experience:
Throughout my tutoring career, I’ve supported students with a range of abilities and educational needs. From managing exam season stress to building effective revision routines and guiding university entrance preparation, I’ve helped pupils navigate key stages of their academic journeys. I’m confident in teaching both in person and online and enjoy sharing the benefits of my own academic background with my students.

Over 2 years of tutoring experience, both privately and through agencies

Interests:
