English, Literature, Spanish and Creative Writing for all levels

If you find putting thoughts and ideas into words difficult, I am here to help! I have had more than ten years' experience teaching students from primary school through to adults in English Language, English Literature and Creative Writing. I have a first-class honours degree in Literature, an MA in Children's Literature and am a published and award-winning writer and love working with people of all ages to develop their skills and talents in these areas.

I can help you work towards standard qualifications such as GCSEs and A Levels or I can help you develop your skills more generally. Whatever your ambition, we can work towards it together. I can work either from my home in Oxford or online.

About Me

I am an experienced tutor in English, English Literature, Creative Writing and Spanish. I have worked with students of all ages, from primary school through to adults, and I have experience helping students with dyslexia and ADHD. My aim is to tailor each class to each student - we all learn better when we learn in the way that best suits us rather than in the way a school needs to teach us!
As well as working as a teacher, I am a published and award-winning writer, having had my debut novel published by UCLan in 2021 (The Haunting of Lindy Pennyworth) and various short stories performed and published by such organisations as the Charles Dickens Museum, the Maria Edgeworth Society, Theatre Cloud and Otranto House.
Additionally, I run storytelling and writing sessions with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London, and the Museum of Oxford.

University of Oxford, Magdalen College: BA Hons (2.1) in Spanish
