I have been tutoring English, History and Welsh for five years, with a background in Linguistics (BA Hons Graduate from the University of Manchester.) For the last two years I have been homeschooling two families online in English and History.

Most of my experience is in GCSEs (KS4) and Year 7-9. I’m a whizz at helping kids get through the exams and need to do a bit of cramming. I work with a Cambridge International Accredited online school and have lots of experience with the AQA, Edexcel and WJEC exam boards.

I also have lots of experience working with SEND students. I believe everyone can achieve their potential with the right kind of teaching and confidence building; unfortunately the schooling system doesn't always accommodate for all types of students and ways of learning. I was a high achieving student at school and university but struggled with undiagnosed ADHD throughout, and so always found alternative ways of learning to my peers. This personal experience means I’m great at finding creative routes to understanding and memorising a subject and deeply understand the learning needs of neurodiverse brains.  

I have very strong skills in spelling, grammar, punctuation, essay writing, critical thinking and analysis, and planning. I am particularly good at breaking down complex ideas and complex grammar into easily digestible chunks, and like to reference modern day ideas and systems to make sense of different concepts and scenarios (this is particularly useful for English Literature and History students). 

I love to tailor my lessons completely to your needs - so don't hesitate to tell me exactly what you're looking to achieve from your lessons and I will go above and beyond to accommodate you.
