Blue Tutors
I`m a Cambridge University English graduate (graduated 1999) and I went on to have a career in television, working for the BBC. I am a school governor, serving on the Pupil Achievement Committee, and I have also worked as a volunteer classroom assistant in my local special school. I am an experienced tutor in English and English Literature. I can tutor at any level from Key Stage 2 to Degree level. For Key Stage 2 and 3, I integrate English language and English literature teaching to create a joined-up approach which covers all the rules while using interesting and exciting texts which will stimulate the imagination. For GCSE and above, I will teach all set texts, plus any additional reading you want to improve your course. I will bring each book, poem, play or text alive, and help you write about it in a way that is natural and convincing. I will equip you with the tools to analyse a work of literature you have never seen before or one you have been studying for weeks. I teach using a method which encourages maximum student engagement. I don`t lecture, but I probe, ask questions and encourage the student to come to their own conclusions. This way, I foster an understanding within the student which allows them to go on and use those skills in the future.
