Skyrocket learning engagement and success
with Bristol's most creative English Tutor.
Why choose me?
Academic excellence. Creative teaching. Peace of mind.
Having qualified with a 'Distinction' in PGCE Secondary Education from the University of Bristol in 2020 and a ‘2:1’ BA English and French joint honours degree from the University of Southampton back in 2015, students will benefit from a highly academic, progress-oriented and creatively-minded tutor. I offer curriculum expertise with KS3-5 teaching experience across 4 Bristol Schools, most recently at Gordano School. Additionally, I have full DBS clearance giving you total peace of mind.
My English tutoring is fully tailored to students' individual learning needs and is SEN-inclusive. I have previously worked with pupils with additional learning needs such as Dyslexia, Autism and ADHD and believe that with the right environment and support every learner can achieve their full potential. I align with Humanistic teaching theory, prioritising a nurturing, coaching-led relationship which ensures student wellbeing and academic progress bloom together.
Pricing £ per hour
Tutoring sessions are charged at £40 an hour (Zoom or in person) and are payable weekly in advance of the session via Bank Transfer. Block bookings are preferred to ensure learners can benefit from positive routines.
Flexible locations
I am based in the Redfield area but am happy to travel to your home if preferred to suit learner preference and accessibility needs. I know the Cotham, Redland, Clifton and Portishead areas very well having lived and worked locally for 6 years, most recently at Gordano School.
Honed expertise and curriculum knowledge
I specialise in Year 7 - 11 AQA GCSE English Language & Literature and AQA KS5 English Literature specifications alongside art and illustration tutoring. Historically, I have found that the use of visual aids and dual-coded resources boosts retention and engagement.

KS3 (year 9) short ‘Freedom’ poetry unit, studying writer’s techniques and effects and engaging with a range of poets from Emily Dickinson, to Simon Armitage, Vanessa Kisuule and Kae Tempest. Students analysed the theme of ‘freedom’ through close textual analysis of each poem and the unit scaffolded students’ writing of their own poems.
