A question from Sherpa to Esme...

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I am an experienced English tutor with over three years of expertise teaching English Literature at 11+, GCSE, and A-Level. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a 120-hour CELTA certificate from the University of Cambridge. My teaching approach is dynamic and tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring they receive expert guidance that helps them excel academically and deepen their appreciation of literature. My goal is to help students achieve academic success while fostering a genuine enthusiasm for literature and the written word. I specialise in: Gothic and Romantic Literature: Including Jane Eyre and Romantic poetry, such as the AQA anthology Love Through the Ages (pre-1900). Modern Literature: Including Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire and Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, with expertise in AQA and OCR exam board requirements. In-Depth Literary Analysis: Focused on texts like An Inspector Calls (AQA and Edexcel), helping students develop advanced analytical skills and exam strategies. Shakespeare and Drama: Covering Macbeth, Othello, and The Tempest for GCSE and A-Level (AQA, OCR, and Edexcel). Poetry Analysis: From pre-1900 works to modern poetry, including unseen and comparative analysis (AQA and Edexcel). Creative Writing and Language Skills: Coaching students to excel in language papers, coursework, and creative writing assessments.
