Patient, Friendly and Experienced English Tutor

I am an experienced teacher with an MA in Creative Writing and a TEFL Certificate. My background in publishing, including work with Oxford University Press, gives me a unique perspective as I teach Creative Writing, English Literature, and English Language, as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) to children and adults of all ages and abilities.

In my one-to-one online classes, I focus on everything from pronunciation and phonics to reading comprehension, spelling, and grammar. I make lessons interactive and enjoyable by incorporating a variety of activities and games to suit each student's strengths and interests.

I am familiar with the AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and IELTS exams and can adapt my lessons to fit your individual needs. My goal is to foster independent thinking and provide a supportive, encouraging environment where every student feels confident and secure in their learning.
